A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 141
Ian's parents didn't even return from overseas after she was admitted to a psychiatric hospital. So there was no need for her to deal with her in-laws."It's okay. You should focus on your own matters," Sage said, comforting Tiana.She couldn't help but add, "Actually, you've done very well. Even if they don't acknowledge you, you don't have to feel aggrieved.""I just don't want Wilson to be distracted by these things," said Tiana optimistically. "But you're right, I have done very well. I'm sure they will eventually accept me as their daughter-in-law. After all, I'm so outstanding!"Although Sage knew Tiana was being overly optimistic, she didn't want to dampen her spirits."Just love yourself a little more. If you can't handle something, leave it to Wilson. It's good that he's busy, but he can't just ignore everything because of that.""I know, I know. Don't worry," Tiana responded.After hanging up the phone, Sage let out a sigh. Tiana was too much like her old self. She was

Ivy said, "Ms. Davis is not only highly capable but also has good luck. When she faced economic difficulties, someone helped her out. When sales were poor, they came up with ideas to hype her business up, and they even managed to secure investments for her."Benjamin immediately knew who she was referring to. In fact, he had come to her today intending to find out more about her."Why would Mr. Holcomb's wife help that wretched woman so much? Did she do it at the behest of Mr. Holcomb?"Ivy chuckled and said, "I'm not sure if it was Mr. Holcomb's intention. But you can have someone look into the truth behind the reports from the party that day and the true nature of the relationship between Mr. Holcomb and his wife. You'll get your answers if you do."Although she was very vague with her words, Benjamin was a smart person who understood what she was trying to say—Ian's relationship with his wife was not good, and he wouldn't have cooperated with her to help Mimosa.Satisfied with

She had sold those exact earrings at half price on a second-hand website two days ago. Perhaps because it was cheap, it was snapped up the same day it was listed. Why were her earrings here with Layla now?"Your earrings look nice. Where did you get it?" Sage asked.There was a hint of pride on Layla's face as she replied, "You've got a good eye. These are the latest earrings from Gorgine Fits. They are very hard to come by. Henry had a friend go to great lengths to buy them for me.""As long as you're not mad at me anymore, it's worth the effort I put in," said Henry. His words were as sweet as honey.Layla rolled her eyes at him and looked at Sage provocatively, saying, "Why are you staring at my earrings? Are you jealous? Does Ian not buy you earrings?""He did, but I threw them in the trash. They're the same ones that are now on your ears," Sage thought to herself. Of course, she didn't say that out loud. Instead, she chuckled lightly and said, "I saw a similar pair on a sec

"We're both granddaughters of the Joyners, but you have it better than me in terms of food, clothing, and even living expenses. Grandpa only spoils you and not me! I'm only asking you for a small favor, but here you are dragging your feet!"Indeed, Donald favored her more. Sage understood that this affection stemmed from his pity for her lack of paternal love. However, if she and Layla had a dispute, Donald was always rational and never blindly favored her.Susan's influence on Layla was too significant, which led to her deeply held resentment toward Sage. Unable to clarify these matters with Layla for the time being, Sage said, "I'll send it to you in a minute.""You didn't seem interested in Henry at all the last time I saw you. How come you two are getting along so well now?" Sage couldn't help but ask Layla."Mind your own business!" Layla yelled and hung up.Sage was rendered speechless. After sending the screenshot to Layla, she left the sports complex. As she got into the c

"Stay if you want. Just don't make too much noise. If you feel bored, read a book," said Ian.Only a fool would want to stay here, Sage thought to herself. Then, she glanced at him and asked, "Can I borrow your phone for a moment?""Is your phone dead?""No, but I just want to go on Instagram. Don't worry, I have no intention of invading your privacy. I can't see Layla's account, so I want to take a look using your account," Sage replied truthfully.Ian pursed his lips and unlocked his phone, handing it over to her."Thanks." Sage took the phone and opened Instagram, where she immediately looked up Layla's profile. To her surprise, Layla had sent Ian some messages, though he seemed to have ignored every one of them.Pulling up Layla's Instagram profile, Sage confirmed that Layla hadn't blocked Ian as every update she posted was visible to him. Sage couldn't help but feel irritated by this. If it weren't for the fact Layla was family, Sage wouldn't even have bothered caring about

The box didn't seem like it contained jewelry, but rather some kind of ornament. Sage walked over and opened it, revealing an exquisitely crafted bunny-shaped desk lamp. It was made of crystal and red gemstones adorned its eyes.When she pressed the switch, the bunny emitted a soft white glow from its body, while its eyes glowed a faint red. It was a beautiful and unique sight.Recalling that night at the restaurant where she had reached out to touch a bunny-shaped lantern, she thought that Ian must have guessed that she liked bunnies and brought this back for her.Although Sage didn't want to accept anything from Ian, this bunny was undeniably adorable. It would be a shame to throw it away, so she placed it on her bedside table.After a tiring afternoon of training, Sage indulged in a relaxing bath. When she emerged from the bathroom, Wanda informed her that dinner was ready. With a towel wrapped around her head, Sage put on some comfortable loungewear as she headed downstairs for

"Our marriage has been troublesome enough. I don't want to go through another uphill battle by getting a divorce. I'm busy with work every day. I don't want outsiders speculating or questioning the reasons for my divorce, nor do I want to upset Grandma because of it."Although Ian's reasons were quite legitimate, they made Sage chuckle. "That's okay, but signing a piece of paper won't be a hassle. Besides, there's no shortage of women who want to marry you."Sage didn't mention Ivy, so Ian wouldn't think she was talking about her. "I believe your new wife will treat Grandma even better than I do. Grandma won't be upset then."Although Linda cared for her, it was only because Sage was her granddaughter-in-law. Sage was well aware of this.Ian was rendered momentarily speechless by Sage's words. "Sage, what exactly has suddenly made you so dissatisfied that you're in a rush to free yourself of this marriage?"He had made it up to her for missing their fifth anniversary by letting he

Sage didn't dare to sign anything recklessly. So as she took the paper to make the two men lower their guard, she reached into her pocket to grab her phone to call the police.But just as her fingers touched her phone, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and forcefully pulled her back."Ah!" Sage screamed in fright, swinging her fists and kicking with her legs blindly in an attempt to fight back"Hey! It's me!" When Sage heard Ian's voice, she stopped struggling.She looked up and saw Ian's face. However, because of how dim the streetlamps were, Sage couldn't make out his expression clearly."How did you get here? Where are they?" Sage asked, her heart still racing.Ian's voice was grave. "They ran away. Why did you come to such a sketchy place for your walk?"Having calmed down, Sage felt her legs go weak. She sat down on a nearby rock. "I just happened to be passing by! Who knew I would encounter them? Call the police, quickly!"Sage took out her phone, but Ian said coldl

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

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
