A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 205
Then, she spotted Ian's car approaching. Sage ran over to it, ignoring Shane, who was "in pain", and Giselle, who was in tears. She swung open the car door and slipped inside without hesitation. Ian was glancing at the entrance with a hardened expression. Sage figured he must've seen Shane standing in her way. However, she didn't feel the need to explain herself to him. After all, he was much closer to Ivy and never explained himself to her. So why should she bother?"Let's go," she said to the driver.The driver turned to look at Ian and waited for his instructions. Ian shifted his attention to the driver and nodded at him. He then asked, "Why did you meet up with Shane again?""Don't even start," she scoffed. "Why can't I meet with him? It isn't my problem that you and Shane don't get along."Ian was taken aback. "Sage, can't you tone down your attitude and have a normal conversation with me?""Oh, sorry honey, but I'm very petty. I can't have a civilized conversation with y

Sage nodded. "Don't worry. I won't bring up our divorce in front of Mr. Holcomb Senior. Plus, we can keep our divorce under wraps after we get the divorce certificate."Ian wasn't particularly pleased when he heard that. "Let's head to Holcomb Estate right now," he ordered.Her eyes widened. "What is the meaning of this, Ian Holcomb? I told you I'm not going!" "Since we're not divorced yet, you'll have to fulfill your duties as my wife," he responded. Ian couldn't suppress his anger. After all, she was willing to meet up with Shane, but she wasn't willing to accompany him to Holcomb Estate. Sage decided to tag along after she noticed his unyielding demeanor. Holcomb Estate was in a prime location. It was a three-story Gothic-style house adorned with gardens. Sage had never stepped foot inside the estate even though she was Ian's wife.Ian had moved out after college and opted to live alone in his own home. After getting married, Solaris Estate was their new abode. Moreover, sh

Ian was baffled by her abrupt change of demeanor. Even though he intended to mend their relationship, he found it hard to keep his cool when he looked at her tear-filled eyes and distant demeanor. "Sage Joyner, why are you being so fickle?"Sage looked up at him and retorted, "I'm pretty sure you're the fickle one. In the past, I begged you to bring me here, but you couldn't be bothered to. Yet, you now insist on bringing me here when I told you I wasn't interested anymore. Ian Holcomb, aren't you just doing this because I haven't been paying much attention to you lately?" "Do you seriously think that I'm doing this because I'm upset?" Ian countered."What else could it be?" she scoffed. "Would you notice me, care about what I think, or bring me here on your own if I were still revolving around you every day like I used to?"For a moment, he was stumped. In the past, Sage was too clingy. She would always want him to spend time with her, and she always wanted his eyes to be on her.

Sage assumed Wanda had encountered some difficulties, so she comforted her, "Do tell me if there's something I could help you with."The middle-aged woman immediately shook her head. "Oh, no. It's nothing.""Alright, then." Sage then took a sip of the soup Wanda had prepared. "Mrs. Holcomb, did you get into an argument with Mr. Holcomb?" Wanda asked.Sage took another sip of the soup and responded, "It's nothing serious—just a little disagreement."All she had done was let off some steam. Ian, on the other hand, had barely reacted."Mrs. Holcomb, I believe Mr. Holcomb is worried about you. He specifically asked me to make this soup for you. He said you'd drink it when you returned," Wanda continued.Sage lost her appetite in an instant. She wondered what Ian was playing at. After all, she had just called him out. So why was he going through all this trouble?Sage returned to her room after dinner. After she did so, she received a message from Shane."Ms. Joyner, you were way

Ian's expression darkened when he heard that. "Do you not want to apply the ointment because you want Grandma to notice something's wrong?"Sage was rendered speechless. Forget it. She shouldn't neglect her health. Besides, she could smell the ointment emanating from him. This meant that he had already applied it, so he was probably more experienced than Wanda in this regard.Sage settled back into the chair and pulled her loungewear back a tad. "Please help me apply the ointment like this."Even though he seemed uninterested, there was no telling whether he would suddenly get in the mood. Hence, sitting was the safer option.Ian didn't seem to mind. He walked up to her and warmed the ointment in his hands before applying it to her shoulders.Sage couldn't help but wince in pain as his warm palm touched her wound. However, Ian applied steady pressure and massaged her shoulder. It hurt, but the cooling sensation of the ointment and the warmth of his hands made her feel oddly satisf

Benjamin would only get questioned and a warning if he was detained for that. Hence, Terry did a background search on Benjamin and had him detained for questioning on the opening day because he was using improper means. Sage thought he would be locked up for a few years. Little did she know that he would be released so soon."Don't worry about it too much. He's the kind of person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. He won't act rashly now that he knows Mr. Holcomb has taught him a lesson for you," Priscilla reassured. "I'll go and warn him when he gets released. If he dares to hurt you again, I won't spare him."Sage smiled when she heard that. "Alright. We live in a civilized society. I'm sure he can't just do as he pleases."The girls continued talking about this issue for a while before Priscilla said, "Tiana's been back for a few days now. Why don't we meet up for lunch this afternoon?""Sounds good. Let me give her a call." Tiana's name popped up as soon as Sage pul

Ian had told her that his company would be having a team-building event in Greenfield on Saturday. Sage didn't think it was a coincidence that Tiana and her colleagues had decided to come here.Sage dragged Tiana aside and asked, "Come on! Fess up. Did you plan this ahead of time with Ian?"Tiana looked at her, puzzled. "What are you on about?""Don't play dumb with me." Sage glared at Tiana. "When did he get to you?"After all, she had just met Tiana at the hospital the day before yesterday, and she hadn't mentioned anything about the team-building event. Yet, all of a sudden, Tiana had decided to come here, and she didn't even tell her where they were going. She probably didn't want to arouse her suspicion.Tiana smiled sheepishly when she noticed that Sage had figured it all out. "He didn't actually get to me. My colleagues and I genuinely planned to go on a road trip. Ian just mentioned that his company's team-building event would be held here. He invited us to join them, so

"No wonder she told me I didn't have to prepare anything. Ian had already taken care of everything," Sage brooded."What would've happened if I hadn't agreed to come?" she asked.Tiana responded, "Then, we'd just have to send your belongings back. Easy peasy."Sage was at a loss for words.…The rooms here were all unique. It was mostly styled after the ancient Aztec civilization. Even the corridor floors were made of wooden strips. Sage's room wasn't on the same floor as Tiana's. Sage found herself in a spacious room with a large bed when she opened the door. There were roses thoughtfully placed on the neatly made bed, and quite a few rose petals were scattered around. The various matching decorative items made the room look oddly romantic.Her travel-size suitcase was beside the cabinet. Sage opened it and found her swimsuit, pajamas, other clothes, skincare, and makeup products. This was undoubtedly Wanda's handiwork. Sage realized that everyone, except herself, knew about h

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
