A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 267
"Get the hell out of here!" Sage snapped.Ian couldn't tear his gaze away from her flushed face and the tantalizingly pale skin beneath the towel. Her words didn't anger him. Instead, it made him think about what happened last night. Ian was consumed by desire when she wrapped her arms around him bashfully last night, her tender bosom swaying before his eyes. He relentlessly tormented her until she begged for mercy…Sage noticed his breathing getting heavier as he stared at her legs. Furious, she kicked him and yelled, "I told you to get out!"Her attempt to kick Ian fell short as he swiftly caught her leg. Her thighs were completely exposed as she was only wrapped in a towel, and her foot was being held by Ian. She was in an incredibly compromising position. Her face turned crimson as she yelled, "Let go of me!"He didn't want to let go, but there were more pressing matters to attend to that day, and Sage's body couldn't take any more "rough handling". Hence, he suppressed his d

There were red marks on her wrist from being tied up by ropes last night, although they had faded a lot overnight. Then, she suddenly remembered she had caught a whiff of this scent when she was taking a shower just now. Had Ian used the same ointment on her wrist last night?"The hospital's right next door. If you're feeling unwell or are in severe pain, we can head there and get you treated first," Ian offered. Sage felt her cheeks heat up again. Even though he wasn't specific, both of them understood what he meant.Frankly, she did feel a little swollen and uncomfortable, and it was a little painful to walk. But she didn't have the nerve to go to the hospital for something like that."I'm perfectly fine!" Sage exclaimed before swinging the door open and walking out. Ian reached out, wrapped his arm around her waist, and led her out of the hotel when he noticed her awkward gait. Terry was already waiting for them in the parking lot. He lowered his head when he noticed the hi

"Nothing's wrong. I just want to get some medicine.""What kind of medication do you need? Let Terry get it and deliver it to the estate."Her cheeks burned as she cleared her throat. "It's fine. I'll go get it myself."Ian could roughly guess what she wanted from her reaction. His gaze darkened as he said lowly, "There were condoms in the hotel room."Sage realized he had taken precautions and was relieved. She couldn't risk another accident after what happened the night before.His irritation returned as he noticed Sage visibly relaxed. "Didn't you hint to me before that you wanted to have children with me?""People's desires change over time. Let's not dwell on the past," she responded coolly. Ian was at a loss for words.Then, the couple arrived at Solaris Estate. Sage wanted to open the door and get out, but Ian insisted that she stay put. He then opened her door and carried her out of the car."What do you think you're doing?" Sage was surprised."You're too slow," he re

Sage looked up and noticed Leo approaching them. Sage was aware that Leo wasn't fond of her, so she pushed Ian away, straightened up, and greeted him politely, "Good afternoon, Father."Leo didn't acknowledge her and scowled at Ian. "Ian, there are so many elders here. This is not the time or place for this.""Leo, this is just how young couples are. It's no big deal!" Ian's aunt spoke up before Ian could respond."Even so, that is so unruly of you! What happened to all those etiquette lessons you had?" Leo chided. Ian frowned. "There's no rule of etiquette that says you can't hug your wife.""Ian Holcomb!" Leo's face flushed with anger. "Oh, come on, Leo. It's supposed to be a joyous occasion. There's no need to get all worked up. Let's just talk this out calmly." She then smacked her head and said, "The maid brewed me some coffee. I'll go check if it's ready!"Sage also planned to excuse herself after Ian's aunt left. But before she could, a gentle voice came from behind. "M

"Mr. Holcomb," Ivy interjected, "Ian is just worried that you'll be upset with Sag. It was just a slip of the tongue. Please don't be mad at him for that.""Ivy, why are you speaking up for them? I heard from your father that you've been through a lot because of Sage. Don't you hold a grudge against her?" Leo inquired.Ivy glanced at Ian, who remained stoic, and told the truth, "It was tough at the time, but I know that Sage cares a lot about Ian. Plus, her family spoiled her when she was growing up, so she can be impulsive. So I won't hold it against her.""Look at you! You can't even control your wife. I can't believe you would let her stir up trouble everywhere and cause Ivy so much pain! Why can't you act like a man?" Leo reprimanded his son.Ian retorted calmly, "Well if you're so manly, why are you always so lonely?""Ian!" Leo fumed. "Excuse me." Ian walked into the house. The smile on Ivy's face faded as she watched Ian walk away. Even though Sage hid it well, she noti

She truly owed it to Ian last night. Otherwise, not only would she have been physically hurt, but those indecent videos would've been all over the internet by now. There was no way she could be sitting here, conversing peacefully with Linda."Sage, it's obvious that Ian cares about you now. Are you really not going to give him another chance?" Linda still wanted to fight for her grandson.Sage shook her head resolutely. "Grandma, what's done is done. Ian helped me last night, but that doesn't change the fact that we're getting a divorce. I'm going to the court with him tomorrow."Linda shook her head as she had expected that. "Alright. I won't try to persuade you anymore."The elderly woman squeezed Sage's hand and said, "Don't overdo it. You just went to the hospital last night. Sit down and rest.""It's alright, Grandma. I'm not tired." Sage wanted to spend more time with Linda as she wouldn't be able to take care of her as her granddaughter-in-law soon."Grandma, Uncle Owen ca

Ian didn't tell her what it was right away. Instead, he said, "Don't take my father's words to heart. He's never pleased with anyone. it's not just you."Sage chuckled. "Is that so? I think he's quite pleased with Ivy."He remained stoic. "Uncle Ron used to be the steward of Holcomb Estate. My father trusts him, so he's got a soft spot for Ivy.""That's none of my business." she sneered. "After all, I won't be his daughter-in-law anymore starting tomorrow. What exactly were you going to say?"Ian stopped beating around the bush and brought up the issue in Colville. Sage's attention was instantly piqued.Ian explained that he stopped by the police station to gather some information before he went to the hospital the day before yesterday."Terry looked into it, and it turns out that those two guys were just regular street racers who used to zoom around town with their crew. "That day, they took a shortcut through the pedestrian street for a race. I've given all relevant informati

"No matter what I do, you are always the one in the right. Ian Holcomb, don't you think that is worse than suggesting divorce yourself?"Ian's dark gaze landed on Sage. "I told you I'd attempt to meet your demands in the future. Besides, you clearly have feelings for me. We're not at the point of no return.""I'll admit that the feelings I've developed for you over the years won't just disappear overnight, but those feelings aren't enough to keep me going," she said."I'm exhausted, Ian. I genuinely don't want to be a part of your life anymore. If you have even an ounce of guilt or feelings for me, please sign the divorce agreement as soon as possible."Ian gazed at her for a moment when he heard that. He then tossed the tube of ointment that was in his pocket at her before walking away."What were you and Ian talking about? Did you guys fight?" Layla walked over while Sage stood in a daze. "What brings you here?" Sage twisted open the ointment.Layla took a seat beside her and

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
