A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 125
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

Sandra's eyes sparkled as she held the debit card. "Don't worry, Henry will definitely up his game. He actually planned to rescue the damsel in distress yesterday. Unfortunately, that girl had to bail. He's already planning his next move, though. He'll win that woman over!"Ivy didn't press for further details. Instead, she just said, "Don't drop by unannounced. I'll come to you IF I need anything in the future." She made sure to emphasize the second part.Sage and Ian had spotted Sandra at her place last time. Even though she and Sandra were family, Henry was currently attempting to get close to Layla. If Sage and Ian found out, she would undoubtedly be dragged into the fray. Hence, it was better to proceed with caution.Sandra tucked the card away. "Oh, Ivy, I genuinely came to see how you were doing. It must be tough for you to be all alone in the hospital."Ivy propped her chin up. "Tell the nurse I passed out. She'll know what to do."Realization dawned on Sandra. "That's tru

"Mr. Holcomb! Ms. Shekdotter has just fainted! Please come over as soon as possible!" the person on the other end of the line said urgently.Ian's forehead creased when he heard that. "Alright." He then put his phone away and glanced at Sage. Without a word, he changed quickly and walked straight out the door.Sage was close by and heard everything that had been said. Of course, she knew exactly where he was going.Her grandfather had asked her to give their marriage another chance because he could tell Ian cared about her. But why the hell would she want to give another chance to a man who dropped everything for another woman just because of a damn phone call?…Meanwhile, in the hospital, Ivy clutched her bruised elbow and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry to bother you at this hour. I just wanted to stretch my legs a little, but I got dizzy and fell. I only passed out for a few minutes, but the nurse made a big deal out of it."Ian's brows knitted. "There are nurses everywher

"Uncle Ron really liked the wine I gifted him last time. I'll have someone deliver a few more bottles to him.""Ian—""Rest well. I'll be going now." He then got to his feet and left the ward.…Sage woke up the next day feeling refreshed. She was so tired from practicing self-defense with Michael the day before. After a refreshing and soothing bath, she climbed into bed and drifted off into a deep slumber. Sage stretched her arms and yawned. She was about to reach for her phone to catch up when she found a deep red brocade box on the nightstand. Intrigued, she opened it and found a pair of delicate diamond earrings nestled inside.The earrings were simple yet elegant, with just the right amount of sparkle. It was perfect for everyday wear without being too ostentatious. She had never bought such earrings before. Plus, it was placed on her nightstand, so it was clear that it was meant for her. Did Ian leave them here? Had he returned last night? She had slept so soundly that

"Ian Holcomb, you're the one who's picking a fight with me!" Sage snarled. "If you don't want to give me anything, don't force yourself to! I'm not a recycling bin. I don't need things that have belonged to someone else!""Could you stop being so damn difficult, Sage?" Ian was afraid that she might snap if he mentioned that Ivy was the one who had picked out the earrings. So, he gritted his teeth and said, "The earrings are brand new. It still has the tag on it. Where did you get the idea that these belonged to someone else?""Oh, so just because it has a tag means it's brand new?" Sage sneered. "Ian, if you wanted to make things right, perhaps you should've found out what I liked first! Otherwise, just do what you always do and ignore me altogether!"Ian ran out of patience in the face of her accusations and sarcasm. "Fine! Forget I ever gave you anything then! Who gives a damn about what you want anyway?" He then stormed out of the room.Sage was so furious that she threw the box

Calvin realized that he had gone too far when he noticed the look in Ian's eyes. He cleared his throat and joked, "What I mean is, I get where you're coming from, but your delivery needs work. Why don't you put yourself in her shoes for a second? "Would you be thrilled if she dashed off to the hospital in the middle of the night to see some guy and returned the next morning with a present that was meant for someone else?"Ian frowned and said impatiently, "Look, she used to pester me for gifts. I figured bringing it back for her would get her off my back.""But you can't be so perfunctory," Calvin responded. "Wouldn't you be upset as well if she gave you a gift that was bought by another guy?""Shut your trap." Ian snapped. "What other guy? Where the hell would she find another guy?"He accidentally let his tongue slip again. Calvin smacked his forehead. "I was just giving you an example, Ian. Look, even the example makes you uncomfortable. Don't you think it would make her uncom

"He was already dissatisfied when I decided to split up the company. He assumed that taking away the technology would bring me down. He was waiting for me to fail so that he could reclaim Mimosa. He never imagined I'd turn Mimosa around."I've been very careful with the quality of the products we sell. The people who stayed behind were mostly employed by my father. He couldn't stir the pot from inside, so he spread false rumors instead.""Has anyone been sent to see the poisoned victims? What's the situation?" Sage asked.Priscilla informed her that she had sent a trusted aide to the hospital, but the victim's family refused to let them in. In addition, they demanded a whopping one million dollars in compensation and threatened to sue if they did not get it."We absolutely cannot compensate them. If we do, it would only validate their rumors.""Exactly," Priscilla agreed. "I flat-out refused their unreasonable demand. But if this standoff drags on or ends up in court, it would dam

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
