Shane snorted before walking to the hot chick. Coincidentally, the cops had also apprehended the homeless man and brought him to them.

Sage instinctively took a step back when she noticed the man's blood-stained hair. Ian tightened his grip on her hand and told the police that their lawyer would arrive soon and handle the situation on their behalf.

Sage briefly recounted the incident to the cops. Then, Terry arrived with their lawyer. After a brief exchange, the couple left the issue to Terry and the lawyer.

Sage and Ian walked over to the car. He held Sage up by the waist when he noticed she was limping. Sage was in no state to argue with Ian after such a frightening ordeal, so she let him carry her into the car.

Ian called the doctor once they were inside the car. Neither of them spoke, probably because of their argument earlier. Hence, the couple rode in silence to the hotel.

The doctor was already waiting for them when they arrived. After a thorough examination, he found t

    Sage couldn't help but sneer when she noticed Ian's displeasure and accusatory tone. "Why can't I stick up for him? I told you last time that I intend to move on with him."Ian was rendered speechless. After all, she had indeed told him on the phone last time that she wanted to move on. He recalled the way Shane had put his arm around her. It was so natural, and she didn't resist at all. Yet, she would recoil at even the slightest touch from him, as if she was afraid that he would take advantage of her. Ian wondered why she wasn't wary of Shane."So you're in such a hurry to get a divorce just to be with him?" he asked with a hardened expression. His grip on her foot tightened slightly. "Ouch!" Sage yanked her foot back. "And what if I am?"Her words made him furious. "Do you think he'll fall for you just because you're interested in him? Even if he does, his family would never accept a divorced woman like you into their family!"Sage chuckled and raised her head. "That's my bu

    The only one she could expose right now was Delilah. After all, she was working for Ivy, and there was evidence to back that up."Delilah teamed up with Ivy. You said you'd look into it. Did you?" she asked coldly.Ian was caught off guard for a moment. "I've been busy lately. I haven't had a chance.""Busy? That's such a lame excuse! You never believed me! I'm sure you think I'm just badmouthing Ivy!" Sage then shoved Ian. However, she wasn't strong enough to even make him stumble, so she kicked him out of frustration. Ian let go of her because he cared about her sprained ankle and didn't want to hurt her further. "Ian Holcomb, whenever it comes to Ivy Shekdotter, you always choose to believe her and not me. In that case, why don't you just give me a clean break? After all, divorce would be a relief for the both of us!" With that, she hopped into the bedroom and locked the door.Apart from the first night, Ian had been sleeping on the couch in the living room, probably because

    That was such a stupid question! He wouldn't have asked Calvin if he knew what he had done wrong! "Stop beating around the bush and just spit it out!" Ian snapped.Calvin covered his ringing ears. "Ian, answer me this first. Do you think Mrs. Holcomb was behind what happened last time?"Ian didn't answer him. Instead, he recounted the details of that evening. Sage was very upset with Ivy before they went to the drugstore. When they arrived, she picked out the medication and paid for it on her own. "Then, for some reason, she calmed down and said she wanted to buy some pastries. She stayed in the car while I went to get them, and yes, she did touch the bag of medications." "So… you do think it's her doing?" Calvin inquired.Ian didn't like the way he phrased that. "I was just stating the facts. The truth hasn't come to light yet, and I never said she was behind it."Calvin sighed once more. "But after what you've said, it sounds to me like you're blaming Mrs. Holcomb. So, one of

    Ian fell silent. When Sage injured her hand, and he accompanied her to the hospital to change the dressing, the doctor also said that nothing should be more important than one's spouse. She also criticized him for being an incompetent husband because he wasn't aware of his wife's injury, and because he failed to be there for her. So… was it really his fault?…Sage showered and was about to hit the hay when she heard a knock on the door. "Are you asleep? Can we talk?" Ian's cold voice asked from outside the door. The two of them just had a heated argument, and she had almost been taken advantage of. Sage had no intention of going through that again."I'm exhausted and sleepy. Let's talk about it tomorrow," she responded coldly.Initially, she assumed Ian would insist on her opening the door, or perhaps even threaten her. But to her surprise, he didn't. "Alright then. Get some rest." Then, everything went quiet. Sage was surprised. She couldn't believe that he had just given

    Sage sat down at the table. The aroma of the soup was very pleasant. It seemed well-cooked, but she was still a little apprehensive. She was afraid it would be inedible. Sage took a spoonful and hesitantly extended her tongue under Ian's watchful gaze. But before she took a sip, she looked into his deep eyes and set down her spoon. "It's too hot. I'll have the eggs first."The boiled eggs seemed relatively safe. It couldn't be that bad. However, Ian could tell what she was thinking. "The soup isn't poisonous!" He drank a large spoonful in front of her. Sage felt slightly relieved. She dropped the peeled egg into the soup and took a cautious bite. Fortunately, it was edible. Even though the soup was a little runny and salty, it was otherwise fine. Sage was still focused on the soup when Ian calmly said, "I know you don't have any feelings for Shane. I didn't mean to look down on you when I said his family wouldn't accept a divorced woman."His tone was calm as he continued, "I

    Sage also looked into his eyes. He seemed serious, and his eyes were filled with anticipation. Ian had never apologized to her, nor had he ever shown such a humble side of himself to her.An inexplicable bitterness crept into her heart. She had always thought that she would no longer be affected by his words, nor would she be moved by his pathetic guilt and reluctance. Yet, she still felt bitter at this moment.It was as if one had a wound when one was a child and hoped that someone would notice it and care about it. However, the other party only noticed it when they reached adulthood. It was bittersweet melancholy. One would feel touched, but because too much time had passed, the wound had weathered and could not be healed anymore. "Do you seriously think there's any point in saying all these things now, Ian?" she asked."Why wouldn't there be?" Ian responded. "I admit that I didn't want to accept this marriage at first, but now that we've been married for a year, I've gotten u

    Obviously, Sage was delighted. After being stuck in Morita for so many days, she was itching to get back home. After packing their bags, the group set off for Haldon that evening. Ian listened to Terry's reports about work throughout the journey. Even after boarding the plane, he was still busy attending to work-related matters. Even though the couple sat together, they didn't talk to each other. Sage welcomed the tranquility. After eating and drinking to her heart's content, she reclined her seat and drifted off to sleep. After what seemed like a long nap, she woke up feeling a bit woozy and nauseated as the plane encountered some turbulence. Could it be that she had gotten airsick from being seated for so long? But she had never been airsick before."What's wrong? Are you okay?" Ian's voice came from beside her. Sage opened her eyes and noticed he was still sitting in the same position, a document in his hand. "I'm okay." She nodded. But when she tried to sit up, she felt th

    The flight attendant was visibly taken aback, probably because she hadn't expected the couple, who hadn't said a word to each other since boarding the plane, to be married. "Oh, come on! How could you be so rude? She's just giving you her number. It's not like she's attempting to— Ugh. Let go! Let me go!" Before Sage could finish her sentence, Ian wrapped his arm around her throat, causing her to cough.He loosened his grip and sternly told the flight attendant, "Get me your purser."The flight attendant could tell what he was going to do. Blood drained from her face in an instant. "I apologize, sir. I didn't mean to. Please don't report me!"The woman looked so pitiful with tears streaming down her cheeks. Initially, Sage wanted to speak up and help her out, but she hastily shut her mouth when she felt Ian's hold on her neck tighten.The couple was in first class, after all. The commotion soon caught the attention of the purser, who promptly figured out what had happened. After

    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
