A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 222
His dark gaze made her uncomfortable. Sage forced herself to calm down and said, "Whether you marry her or not has nothing to do with me.""Sage—""Tiana, over here!" Ian was about to say something, but Sage cut him off and waved to Tiana, who was at the entrance.Tiana walked over to them and asked, "Mr. Holcomb, are you done with work?"Ian nodded slightly. "Excuse me. I have to go over there for a bit, but please carry on.""What's going on? Why do I feel like there's some strange tension between you guys?" Tiana asked.Sage told her what Ian had said earlier."Ian's worried that you'll be upset, so he's explaining why he didn't turn Ivy away at lunch," Tiana said. "I've been telling you that he has feelings for you and that he doesn't want to divorce you. Do you believe me now?"Sage rolled her eyes at Tiana. "I don't think so. Even if you're right, it wouldn't change my mind about getting a divorce."Tiana couldn't help but speak up, "Sage, you've loved Ian for so many ye

Sage looked over in the direction Tiana pointed and spotted Ian's figure. He looked tall and handsome in his casual shirt next to the cool and refined Wilson. Both of them looked like characters straight out of a comic book—breathtakingly beautiful and pleasing to the eye."My husband is so handsome." Tiana sighed.Sage nudged her. "You're drooling.""Oh, come on! As if you're any better than me when you look at Ian." Sage rolled her eyes at Tiana. Their conversation caught the attention of the men up ahead, causing them to turn their heads."Darling, do you know Mr. Holcomb?" Tiana walked up to Wilson and linked her arm with his.Wilson responded calmly, "We've met a couple of times before."Wilson was highly regarded in his field. Many would take the initiative to get to know him. In addition, he often attended formal award ceremonies held by the government as a distinguished representative of the hospital, so it wasn't surprising that he would be acquainted with a successful

Sage walked along a path paved with white pebbles, feeling uncomfortable. Tiana was right. She had overeaten.Ian noticed her knitted brows and figured she wasn't feeling well. He called Terry and asked, "Could you check if there's a drugstore nearby? Have someone get me some antacids."Sage couldn't help but think of her previous life when she heard that. She used to have occasional stomach pains as a result of her excessive dieting. Ian happened to be at home that night. When she brought him a glass of milk, her stomach hurt so much that her face turned pale from the pain, and she almost spilled it. Yet, he didn't even ask her what was wrong. He simply asked her to leave.Meanwhile, she hadn't made a sound just now, yet he noticed her discomfort and took the initiative to ask someone to get her some medications."It seems that men can learn to be attentive," she brooded. He had only been inattentive to her because he didn't love her.Sage had also noticed his changes. He did s

Terry, who usually followed Ian around, was nowhere to be found that day. Ian frowned when he heard that. "I'm not him. How would I know? Aren't we going to the drugstore? Get a move on."Sage was at a loss for words as she didn't believe that he had no idea about what was going on with Terri.The couple found the car. Sage had just fastened her seatbelt when she spotted Ivy in the parking lot. Her face was pale, and she looked like her legs were about to give out. Ivy also noticed them. "Mr. Holcomb, Mrs. Holcomb," she greeted them weakly."Where are you headed?" Ian asked.Ivy rasped, "I think the wound on my forehead has become infected. It hurts, but I forgot to bring my medications. I was just going to run out and get some."Ian said, "We're just about to head out. Text me a list of the medications you need, and I'll pick it up for you."Ivy endured the pain and shook her head. "Don't worry about it. I don't want to hold you up. I can manage on my own."Sage sneered as sh

"Don't you watch where you're going?" Ian grumbled. Sage had almost gotten hit by a car. Startled, she came to her senses. What was she doing? Why did she suddenly get upset with Ian? Why did she sound so jealous?It seemed like Tiana had brainwashed her into believing Ian was being good to her and that she didn't want a divorce anymore. Sage was terrified when she noticed a glimmer of hope rising in her heart yet again.Ignoring Ian, she took a step back and said calmly, "I don't want to go to the mall. I'd just like to go to a pâtisserie."Ian had expected Sage to become enraged and tell him that it had nothing to do with him and that he didn't need to worry about it. However, she didn't lose her temper at all. She seemed calm and rational instead.Naturally, he preferred her current reaction—no fuss and no drama. Just straightforward communication. She didn't put up an invisible wall that made it impossible for him to communicate with her.The couple got back into the car, an

"What is the meaning of this?" Sage asked as she pointed at his belongings.Ian responded calmly, "Everyone at the company knows we're married. What will they think if we sleep in separate rooms?"There was only a week left until their divorce. Everyone would find out then anyway. However, she kept her mouth shut as she didn't want him to think that she was throwing a tantrum and green with jealousy. Instead, she quipped, "Ian Holcomb, if you're feeling frisky and need someone to satisfy your urges, there are plenty of volunteers outside. Don't drag me into your mess."Ian gave her a cold look, probably because her words stung. "You were the one who slipped and fell into my arms in the afternoon. You were in a bikini, and you were so close to me. I'm a man, not a saint. I think it's pretty normal for me to react."Sage was rendered speechless. After all, she had been careless and slipped into his arms in the afternoon. She couldn't be bothered to waste her breath on him anymore,

Hospital? Sage was a little surprised. Was someone injured? Why did he need her there? But before she could ask any more questions, Ian had already hung up the phone. Just then, Terry's voice came from outside the door. "Mrs. Holcomb, please come downstairs when you're ready. I'll go start the car right now."Ian was really efficient. Terry was already outside her room before she could think about it or refuse. Sage changed out of her pajamas, put on a loose T-shirt, and grabbed her purse before heading downstairs.She wondered what on earth was going on for him. Sage got into the back seat, slightly annoyed. Terry was focused on the road and didn't seem like he wanted to talk to her. "Mr. Zane, did Ian threaten you or something? Is that why you're not talking to me?" she couldn't help but ask. Terry didn't dare to utter a word. "Oh, nothing of the sort happened, Mrs. Holcomb. Mr. Holcomb just wants me to do my job properly."Sage didn't push any further because she knew that

Ronald's words were cut short when he noticed Ian emerging from behind the security door. He was on a phone call. "Ivy has been through so much pain, Ian, you have to stand up for her!"Ian looked at Sage, who met his gaze stoically. Sage had put two and two together based on the middle-aged man's words. Ivy had taken the medication Ian bought in the resort, and something had gone wrong. Ivy had her stomach pumped in the hospital, and Ronald thought it was her doing.So, Ian left because Ivy had been taken to the hospital. He called her here because of Ivy."Dad, this could all be a misunderstanding. Please don't put Ian in a tight spot," Ivy said weakly."My poor Ivy, you're just too considerate for your own good!" Ronald said. "Just think about it. How many times has this woman schemed against you and hurt you? I wouldn't have known about any of these things if your Aunt Sandra hadn't told me about what had happened last time!"Ivy gritted her teeth and said, "It was just a scra

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
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 878
"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
