Sage couldn't help but remind him, "Mr. Morrison, I'm the one who's divorcing Ian, not the other way around."

"Aren't you giving up on him because he doesn't love you back?" Shane asked mercilessly. "Sure, you might see yourself as ' moving on', but let's face it. It's no different from being dumped by him."

Sage was rendered speechless.

In the evening, Tiana, the busy bee, finally had some time to spare. "Sage, I heard about this awesome new bar. Let's go get a drink, and you can perform your special drum solo for me!"

Tiana added before Sage could respond, "You promised me, so you can't go back on your word now!"

Sage agreed reluctantly. "Sure thing. It's just a drum solo."

The girls met up at the bar. The first floor was a large open hall with some seating scattered around, while the second floor had private booths. There was a massive stage in front of the entrance on the first floor. When they entered, someone was performing on it, adding an electric air to the atmospher

    Two young men pushed a cart over to them. The cart was adorned with bright red roses, and next to them were various liquors and bartending tools. Each of them held a bouquet in their hands. When they reached Sage and Tiana, they got down on one knee and gave them a bouquet each. "Your majesties, I hope you'll have a delightful evening here tonight."Sage found their cheesy words amusing. "Thanks," she said as she accepted the flowers.Tiana also accepted the bouquet. She smiled as she said, "These guys are professional bartenders who have participated in competitions. They are here to whip up cocktails for us!""Ohh, and here I thought you had arranged for some hunks to keep us company," Sage joked softly."I figured it wouldn't be the best idea since we're both married and all."Tiana suggested, "Why don't I get some hunks to drink with you now?"Sage pretended to ponder for a moment. "Forget it. Though you could find me a bunch once I'm divorced.""Would a bunch be enough? I

    Calvin clicked his tongue. "Ian, you can't just bury yourself in work all day. You need to make some time for Mrs. Holcomb!""If you have something to say, spit it out. I don't have all day." Ian's patience was wearing thin."Why are you so grumpy?" Calvin took a sip of his drink and continued, "We're chilling at the bar, Ian. Why don't you swing by for a drink and loosen up a little?""No thanks. I'm busy."Calvin wasn't surprised by Ian's refusal. "Are you sure? I have a surprise for you. I'm sure you'll love it.""Quit messing around!" Ian then hung up on him.Calvin was in no rush at all. He sent Ian the photo of Sage that he had just taken. Sure enough, his phone rang almost immediately after he hit send. He silenced his phone when he noticed Ian's name flashing on the screen."This serves you right for hanging up on me!" he mused. Calvin decided to leave him hanging for a bit.He then returned to his booth, shooed away the person sitting by the railing, and sat down. He l

    Tiana's face flushed with excitement. "Sage, you're truly my idol! That was so cool! Here, have another glass of frozen rosé."Sage was overjoyed, possibly due to the amount of alcohol she had drunk. Despite how tipsy she felt, she downed her drink in one gulp."Sage, you really shouldn't be drinking like this. Even though it tastes sweet, it's quite strong!"Sage waved her hand nonchalantly. "It's alright. It doesn't matter if I get drunk."She didn't need to please anyone anymore. She wasn't afraid that Ian would think that she wasn't dignified enough. Hence, it didn't matter if she got drunk."Besides, you don't usually have time to come out for a drink. Let's just drink to our heart's content tonight!"Tiana sighed. "Man, I'm exhausted from accompanying my mother-in-law these days. I just needed to step out for some fresh air and loosen up a little.""How's that female classmate of Wilson doing? Did she get transferred to the hospital where Wilson is?" Sage was still worried

    However, the man suddenly lurched forward, crashed into the coffee table, and knocked over the wine glasses and bottles that were on it. The commotion drew the attention of a few people standing nearby.It also attracted the attention of Calvin, who yelled to his friends, "Quick, let's go downstairs and help them!" He then hurried down the stairs.The beer-bellied man was lying on the ground, crying out in pain. His companions, on the other hand, were caught off guard by the sudden turn of events. All of them subconsciously looked at the person who had done this. The man was tall and well-dressed, exuding arrogance and authority."Who the hell is this man?" Having been embarrassed twice, the beer-bellied man was seeing red. In a fit of rage, he gritted his teeth and yelled, "Get them! Tie up the woman and beat that man to death!"His companions immediately leaped into action. However, before they could do anything, their cries of agony filled the air.Sage wondered if she was dr

    Sage was surrounded by white walls and had an IV drip attached to her arm. How did she end up in the hospital?All of a sudden, memories of what had happened in the bar flooded back. The beer-bellied man had tried to hit Ian, so she pushed him away and was injured in the process."Hey. You're awake." Ian's low voice brought her back to reality.Sage looked up and noticed Ian sitting by the bed. He looked tired. His brows were knitted and his face looked haggard. He usually took care of his appearance, but now, he looked disheveled.His suit jacket had been tossed carelessly over the back of the chair, and he was propping his head up with one hand. His sleeves were rolled up, revealing his strong wrists. "Are you feeling any pain?" Ian asked, sitting up.Sage moved her body. Aside from her shoulder and a headache, she was fine. "I'm fine. Where's Tiana? Has she gone home?" she asked hoarsely.His eyes darkened as he looked at her. "Why did you do that, Sage? Fortunately, that gu

    "Listen, this is just who I am. It has nothing to do with whether I love you or not." Her voice was calm, and her face was expressionless. Ian felt his heart get heavy. "Sage, do you even believe what you're saying?"Sage had been revolving around him for half a decade. Everyone knew she loved him. There was no way she could stop loving him overnight.However, her patience was wearing thin. "Believe it or not, I'm telling you the truth. Regardless, we're getting divorced right after Grandma's birthday and not a day later!"There was a knock on the door just as the couple were at each other's throats. Calvin's voice came from outside. "Ian, Mrs. Holcomb, may I come in?""Come in," Ian responded coldly.The door of the ward swung open, and Calvin walked in. He had a bandage on his forehead, but apart from his slightly pale lips, he seemed to be in better spirits than Ian.Calvin could sense the tension between the couple, so he asked with a smile, "Mrs. Holcomb, you're awake! Are

    Ian couldn't figure out why Sage was so cold to him. It was obvious she had feelings for him, but she refused to let go of her grudges for some reason."Ian, is Mrs. Holcomb still planning to divorce you?" Calvin asked cautiously since he didn't get an answer.He happened to overhear Sage saying that she didn't want to delay the divorce for even a single day before he knocked on the door. He was a little surprised that although Sage would disregard her safety for Ian, she was unwilling to give him a chance to make things right.Ian's face turned grim when he heard Calvin's question. "It's not like I can't live without her. If she insists on getting a divorce, I won't force her to stay.""Is that so?" Calvin cocked his brow. "Come on, Ian. Let's be real. Mrs. Holcomb is drop-dead gorgeous and has a great personality. Plus, she plays those drums like nobody's business. "It's understandable for you to be reluctant to let her go. I told you to take her out for some fresh air the othe

    She would be in a difficult position if Ian was injured and used it as an excuse to delay the divorce. Sage felt much more relaxed as she thought of that.Not long after, Calvin came into the ward. "Mrs. Holcomb, Ian's injuries have been checked out. He stayed up all night watching over you, so I asked him to get some rest at my place first."Sage nodded."Mrs. Holcomb, Ian also took quite a hit to his lower back. The doctor said it would be best for him to stay in the hospital for a few days. But since Ian's too busy to rest, the doctor prescribed him some medication to improve blood flow and alleviate his pain. He needs to apply it and massage the area every day."She couldn't believe it. Was he asking her to apply the medication for Ian? Sage chuckled and pointed to her shoulder. "Unfortunately, I injured my shoulder and can't exert much force. I'm afraid I can't help him."In her previous life, she was pushed by Ian and injured her lumbar spine. She had to rest for half a mont

    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
