A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 208
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

"Leave it behind the door and get out of here!" Sage fumed.Ian stopped in his tracks for a moment. "I'll wait for you in the hallway."Then, he set the bag down. Not long after, the door outside closed with a soft thud.Sage breathed a sigh of relief. She smacked her flushed cheeks before slipping into the new swimsuit. The swimsuit Ian had gotten her was much more modest. It covered her shoulders and reached just below her knees. She felt much more comfortable in it.Sage still wrapped herself in a bath towel before opening the door with her phone in hand. Sure enough, Ian was waiting for her in the hallway. His dark eyes lingered on her for a moment when she stepped out of her room. His lips parted when he noticed her fair, slender legs, but he chose not to comment on them. Instead, he said, "Let's head downstairs. Ms. Ford and her colleagues are chilling in the hot springs."Sage still felt a little uneasy. "I can manage on my own. I don't need you to escort me."Ian respon

Ian was aroused in public.Sage's cheeks turned crimson as his erection pressed against her abdomen. The couple was locked in an embrace. There were a lot of people peering at them from the hot spring pools below. Some even pulled out their phones and took pictures of them. Sage felt like she was going to die of embarrassment. Yet, she dared not move, as she was worried that Ian would act on his urges. How could this shameless man get an erection in public? Sage shot daggers at Ian.Ian lifted her when he noticed her annoyed expression. He supported her buttocks with one hand and wrapped his arm around her waist before walking toward the nearest pool. Their bodies pressed snugly against each other as he walked. His erection showed no signs of waning. Instead, it proudly asserted itself and became more prominent with each step.Of course, she felt it. Sage was so embarrassed that even her earlobes turned red. Afraid that others would catch on, she buried her head in Ian's chest.

Ian felt a twinge of regret for letting her go when he looked at Sage. Even though she was wearing a modest swimsuit, it failed to cover her slender, long legs and curves. "Ian, are you listening?" Calvin called out again.Ian looked away, his tone tinged with irritation. "What is it?""Why are you so cranky? What? Are you pent-up?" Calvin teased. Little did he know that his joke would hit a nerve."In the future, just call Terry when you need something. Don't call me ever again!" Ian then hung up the phone on him.Calvin was left hanging, puzzled. What did he do wrong? Why couldn't he call Ian anymore?…Meanwhile, Sage found Tiana. The latter had sent her colleagues away as if she knew the former would come looking for her. Tiana sat in the rose pond, holding her phone with a grin."What are you laughing at? You're going to get me killed!" Sage grumbled as she eased into the pool. "What did I do? I brought you here to soak in the hot springs, not to cozy up to Ian!" Tiana

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
