A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 119
His skin was ice cold on Sage's lips, carrying the subtle scent of his aftershave. Her heart skipped a beat, and she hastily took a step back. As she did so, she realized that her red lipstick had stained his handsome face. "Sage, what are you up to? Why'd you start kissing Ian all of a sudden?" Susan asked.Sage had no idea he would suddenly turn his head! Ian rose from the couch just as she was about to explain herself. "Uncle Owen, Aunt Susan, please excuse me for a moment."He then took a tissue and disappeared into the lounge. Sage followed suit as she couldn't be bothered to waste her breath on them.Ian was wiping his face with a tissue when she walked in. His gaze was dark and unreadable. Sage closed the door and cleared her throat. "I didn't mean to… I just—""Just spit it out and get it over with," he growled, interrupting her.Sage didn't beat around the bush either. "Have you signed the divorce agreement?"Ian looked down at her when he heard that. Sage was much sho

Susan started berating Sage as soon as she stepped outside. Sage was in a good mood, so she let it slide. She even comforted Owen. "Calm down, Uncle Owen. Don't you think it'll be better for us if we can seal a deal without Ian's help?""Don't pull that crap on me. I'm not your grandfather. It won't work on me!" Owen snorted. "Do you think it's easy to run a business? In this day and age, connections are everything! Why should I disregard what we have with Ian and make things harder for myself?"Sage was about to respond when the elevator chimed, and the doors slid open. An employee rushed out, his arms laden with files. Even though she tried to step aside to avoid him, she still bumped into his shoulder. The employee's files and her folder both fell to the ground."I'm so sorry!" the young boy apologized profusely.Sage ignored the pain in her shoulder and rushed to pick up her folder."Let me see what's in the folder." Susan snatched it away before she could reach it.Sage rush

"Ian, did you agree to the divorce?" Owen asked.Ian sat on the couch with a poker face. "I don't make a habit of forcing others. I'm not going to stop her since she's so eager to be rid of me.""No! You're not allowed to get a divorce!" Susan was so furious that she tore up the divorce agreement."Hold on! That's mine!" Sage lunged for the paper, but Susan simply shredded the divorce agreement that she had worked so hard to get in the blink of an eye.Susan tossed the scraps into the trash and dragged Sage out of the office. "Let's go find your grandfather. I'd like to see if he'll allow you to do as you please this time!""I'm not going!" Sage struggled with all her might. "Stay out of this! I'll tell Grandpa myself."Owen rose to his feet. "You're coming with us, whether you like it or not! I've turned a blind eye to your antics in the past, but I can't believe you're seriously considering a divorce! How could you treat your marriage so lightly? I can't let you get away with t

Susan ordered the housekeeper to serve them coffee before settling into a chair."What's wrong, Sage?" Donald asked gently.Sage felt a lump form in her throat when she noticed her grandfather looking at her with the same indulgent and helpless expression he had whenever she got into trouble as a child. "Grandpa…" she choked out. Tears began rolling down her cheeks"Why are you crying, Sage? What happened?" Donald inquired anxiously. Then, he glared at his son. "Owen, did you do something to upset Sage?""That's unfair, Dad. How could you jump to such conclusions?" Susan couldn't help but interject. "This has nothing to do with us. It's your precious granddaughter! She wants a divorce!""Divorce?" Donald was genuinely caught off guard. He almost dropped the glass that was in his hand."Watch out, Grandpa!" Sage dashed forward to grab her grandfather's glass. Then, she placed it on the coffee table and held his hand to help him catch his breath."Stop pretending! If you don't

"Exactly. If word of their divorce gets out, who knows how many people will trample all over our family? It'll be even harder for Layla to find a good match then.""Go home. I know what I'm doing," Donald repeated when he noticed that his son and daughter-in-law weren't backing down.Noticing that his expression showed no room for negotiation, the couple left reluctantly.Sage looked at her grandfather apologetically. "I'm so sorry for worrying you, Grandpa. I know I insisted on marrying Ian, but I'm dead serious about getting a divorce. I'm not joking, and I'm not taking this lightly."Donald didn't say a word. Instead, he motioned for her to sit beside him and took her hand in his. "Sage, I know you must have your reasons for filing for divorce. But be honest with me, do you seriously not feel even an ounce of Ian's love for you?"He paused before continuing, "Let me rephrase that, have you noticed that Ian's behavior toward you has changed drastically since you guys got married

Tiana burst out into laughter when she learned that Sage hadn't gone through with the divorce. "See? I told you so! Ian wouldn't let you go that easily."Sage rolled her eyes. "Believe it or not, it has nothing to do with Ian. He kept his word and signed the divorce papers. But then, things took a surprising turn."Sage then filled Tiana in on how her aunt stumbled upon the divorce papers."Isn't that too much of a coincidence? Why were your uncle and aunt there when you went to pick up the divorce agreement?" Tiana asked."My uncle needed Ian's help to seal a deal."Even though her story sounded plausible, Tiana couldn't shake the feeling that Ian was somehow involved. "Regardless, the fact that you didn't get divorced only proves my point!""Wow. With such a wild imagination, perhaps you should quit being a nurse and become a writer instead.""Hmm… that's a great idea! I could write a novel titled 'My Clueless Best Friend Who Can't Seem to Get a Divorce'. Isn't that a great id

Sage immediately declined his call when she thought of what had happened in his office during the day. Meanwhile, Michael's ears turned red when he heard her question. "I didn't mean anything by that, Ms. Joyner. I just think it's beneficial for girls to learn some self-defense, just in case they run into trouble."Sage chuckled when she noticed his reaction. "Relax! I was just joking with you."His ears were still red as he asked, "Did I cause you a lot of trouble, Ms. Joyner?""Nope," she responded honestly. "I was mostly concerned that you would see me through rose-tinted glasses and fall for me after I helped you last time.""Don't worry, Ms. Joyner. I know where I stand. I wouldn't dare have such thoughts," he said somberly."Nonsense. That's not what I meant," she said solemnly. "Listen here, your current situation is just temporary. You're going to make it big someday and gain the support and love of a lot of people. Besides, why would you ever have those thoughts about m

Henry was an expert at leading people on. Instead of jumping at the opportunity right away, he responded coolly, "Why don't you send me the location, Sage? I'll check it out."Sage smiled. "Sure."After hanging up the phone, she sent over the name of the gym. After all, she had to get to know him better to keep track of his and Layla's progress. It would be even better if she could get him to work for her.Henry replied almost instantly. "Thanks, Sage.""You're welcome. By the way, I would appreciate it if you refrain from calling me by my name since you and Layla haven't made things official yet. You should address me as Ms. Joyner instead.""I understand, Ms. Joyner. Have a nice evening!" …Meanwhile, Ivy sat on the hospital bed with a hardened expression. Her forehead and arms were wrapped in bandages."Whoa, this ward is pretty nice. The young man of the Holcomb family seems to be treating you well," Sandra remarked as she looked around.Ignoring her comments, Ivy asked c

Ian said calmly, "I just got back from a business trip and came by to check on Sage."Giselle didn't ask more questions. She explained to Sage, "I just saw Selena over there. I went to her and clarified that this was my idea. Selena said it was okay."Seeing Selena's calm and relaxed demeanor, Sage didn't have the energy to pretend to be friendly with her.She said to Giselle, "I'm going back to the ward," and then headed to the elevator.Ian was at her heels. "Sage, if you're too tired, just lean on me."Sage stayed silent and didn't respond to Ian, just staring blankly at the numbers on the elevator panel.In the hospital room, Tiana had been waiting for Sage for a while.Seeing Ian, Tiana was equally surprised and asked, "What are you doing at the hospital? Weren't you on a business trip away from town?"Ian succinctly said, "I came back once the task was done."Tiana looked at Sage. "How did it go?"Sage nodded numbly. "Pretty good."Tiana could tell from Sage's expressi

Sage paused slightly in her steps and turned to look at Shane. Her voice was slightly hoarse as she asked, "Is there anything else?"Shane felt an indescribable discomfort as he watched Sage's unsteady appearance.But he didn't know why he had to call out to Sage, especially since he didn't remember anything about her."Since you say we are good friends, and I got hurt because of you, why can't you visit me more often?" Shane questioned, finding a reason.“Sorry, she won't be available.”As soon as Shane finished speaking, the door to the hospital room was suddenly pushed open.Sage turned her head and saw Ian's tall, upright figure.He was wearing a custom-tailored black suit, looking like he had rushed over from somewhere, carrying an air of exhaustion.Ian had been on a business trip for the past two days. Why did he suddenly show up now?Sage glanced toward the doorway but didn't see any signs of Giselle.Sage had a faint guess about who was behind this. She gave a self-d
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 882
Shane's thought process was quite logical.Sage calmly replied, "You were worried that she was only momentarily taking a step back, so you couldn't fully trust her and wanted to observe for a while."Shane also mentioned that when Sage came to the hospital room two days ago, the way she spoke to him was very familiar. It wasn't like how typical business partners would interact.Sage admitted that they were not just business partners but had become good friends through their interactions."But I wouldn't take a good friend to my mother's grave," Shane suddenly said.Sage was taken aback upon hearing this. Had Giselle told Shane about this, too?Seeing Shane looking at her, Sage calmed herself. "You were deceiving Giselle."It's not just this, but also some of our daily interactions. You embellished the details and even went out of your way to act nice to me in front of her."Shane indeed did that before. Sage wasn't at all diffident to talk about it.Shane could see it, too. "S

Taking a deep breath, Sage knocked on the hospital room door.Giselle walked over, glanced down the hallway, and asked with a puzzled expression, "What took you so long? Where did you go?"Sage forced a smile. "There were a lot of people waiting for the elevator."Giselle saw how broken and fragile Sage looked. Thinking she was worried about meeting Shane alone, she couldn't help but gently pat her on the shoulder."It's okay. Take your time talking with Shane. If Selena returns, I'll tell her that everything was my idea."Sage didn't have the energy to explain further to Giselle. She simply said thank you and then walked into the hospital room.Shane sat upright at the head of his bed, dressed in a hospital gown, with bandages still on his head.His handsome face looked a bit thinner than before. Under the hospital room's lighting, he had the delicate appearance of a frail young nobleman.Shane was also quietly observing Sage as she walked over.She had a slender and delicate

Selena nodded. "It's understandable, Ms. Joyner. However, before you go to see Shane, could you take a moment to hear me out?"Sage was aware that Selena had been deliberately waiting for her.Sage sent a message to Giselle saying she would be a few minutes late, and then followed Selena to the stairwell beyond the emergency exit.The stairwell was brightly lit, with gleaming floors and an overall quietness that inexplicably added a sense of oppression.Sage asked, "Ms. Morrison, what do you want to talk to me about?"As soon as she finished speaking, Selena suddenly knelt down in front of her."Ms. Morrison, what are you doing?"Sage hurriedly went to help Selena, but the injuries on her back hadn’t fully healed yet. The movement caused her wounds to hurt, and she winced in pain, furrowing her brow."Ms. Joyner, please don't help me up. Let me finish speaking."Selena's face showed determination, and her almond-shaped eyes, similar to Shane's, had a hint of tears."I know Sh

Since Giselle already knew, Sage didn't deny it. She asked directly, "So what do you think? Are you planning to go abroad with Shane?""Do you even need to ask? Of course I'm not going!"Giselle was somewhat annoyed. "Nothing's going on between Shane and me! Why would they suddenly want me to go abroad with him?""But your brother thinks this is a good opportunity for Shane to develop feelings for you," Tiana said.Sage also shared Marcus' analysis with Giselle. "Your brother hopes that you and Shane will end up together in the end. If you still have some feelings for Shane, this could be a good opportunity.""I couldn't care less about such an opportunity!" Giselle said. "No matter how much I liked Shane, that's all in the past now."I'm not a martyr. I would never degrade myself just to win a man's affection. Besides, even if I gave him everything, what I might get in return could be resentment, not love.""Giselle, you are truly wise and perceptive!" Tiana couldn't help but s

"However, Elle has become more thoughtful and no longer acts willfully now. I believe that Shane will change his opinion of her."With them spending so much time together, there's a high chance that Shane will develop feelings for Elle."Sage fell silent. People were naturally fragile when they were alone and were easily moved by the care and warmth shown by others, especially considering they would be in a foreign country.Therefore, it seemed highly likely that what Marcus mentioned could happen."Even though my parents agreed to dissolve Elle's engagement, they are quite satisfied with Shane. They watched Shane grow up and know him well."If our two families could be united through marriage, it would be a joyous occasion for everyone."Ms. Joyner, I know that Shane likes you, but he has currently forgotten you. You also understand that it is very difficult for the two of you to be together."Even if Elle didn't accompany him for the treatment abroad, Mr. Morrison Senior would

Marcus put down the gift he was holding and said tactfully, "I've heard about your situation from Elle. I just visited Shane, and I thought I'd drop by to see you as well."Sage thanked Marcus and invited him to sit down. Then, unable to hold back, Sage asked, "How is Shane doing? Is he okay?"Because Shane didn't remember her, and the Morrison family wouldn't allow her to visit, Sage hadn't been able to see Shane in person for the past couple of days.Marcus said, "He's doing okay, more or less. He has multiple injuries, and his hand and leg are not very functional. On top of that, he frequently gets headaches, and his mood is quite unstable.""He probably remembered you, right?" Sage asked intentionally.She could definitely guess that Shane remembered Marcus. However, she wanted to know if Shane still harbored the same hostility toward Marcus.Instead of asking directly because it didn't seem appropriate, she decided to ask a different question instead.Marcus knew what Sage

George acknowledged her with a slight nod, while Simon asked bluntly, "What are you here for?""I heard Shane has woken up and came to check on him," Sage said honestly.Simon's tone was stern as he said, "Ms. Joyner, you should be aware of the current situation with Shane.""We won't hold what happened between you and Shane against you anymore, but we hope you'll stop bothering him in the future and completely cut ties with him."Before Sage could speak, Giselle's voice rang out. "Mr. George, Simon!"Seeing Giselle, Simon's attitude softened a bit.George also had a kind smile on his face. "Have you come to see Shane, Elle?"You see, even though Shane has forgotten so many things, he remembers everything about you very clearly. That shows he still cares about you," joked George.Giselle glanced at Sage and replied with a hint of playfulness, "Mr. George, you really shouldn't joke with me like this."Shane hasn't completely lost his memory, so it's perfectly normal for him to
