A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 342
Giselle's unexpected arrival surprised Sage. She recalled the incident where Giselle stormed out of the airport parking lot, furious at her and Shane. She wondered if Giselle was here to cause a scene because of that incident."Ms. Joyner, please open the door. I have something to ask you," Giselle said solemnly while staring at the peephole after hearing Sage's footsteps on the other side.Sage reluctantly answered the door. She assumed that she was safe within the confines of the hotel. Besides, she couldn't dodge Giselle forever. Even if the latter was here to stir trouble, they would soon become colleagues.Giselle marched through the door into the room. Sage kindly handed her a bottle of water, but Giselle declined, "I'm not drinking that!"Huffing and puffing, Giselle seemed to have teared up. She had a mix of despair, envy, and frustration on her face."Ms. Rosethorn, what's wrong? Did someone upset you?" questioned Sage with a puzzled look. That only further provoked Gis

Only then did Sage realize that Giselle wasn't at Haldon City that eventful night. Still, she was baffled by Giselle's logic. "Ms. Rosethorn, how can you be sure that I'm carrying Shane's baby?"Although she had a lukewarm relationship with Ian, she was still married to him. How could Giselle be so sure that she wasn't pregnant with Ian's baby?"Whose child could it possibly be? Your marriage must be rocky because you've moved into a hotel. An unhappy couple would not be making babies!" Giselle growled furiously. "What's more, your husband hasn't shown up yet, so I assume you are too scared to tell him about the pregnancy. The only explanation is that you're pregnant with Shane's child!"Sage stared at Giselle incredulously, feeling astonished at the latter's "remarkable" analytical skills. They could even rival Shane's. In some way, Giselle and Shane were a good match. Although Shane had nothing to do with Sage's pregnancy, Sage had decided not to inform Ian about the matter. S

Giselle reluctantly rose from her seat. But before leaving, she warned, "I will not let this slide if you don't abort the child!" With that, she slammed the door shut, venting her anger.Sighing, Sage realized that she had lost her appetite. After giving it some thought, she dialed Shane's number."My lovely Sage, what's up? It's rare of you to call me," Shane replied flippantly. He seemed to be in a great mood.Firstly, Sage asked him about the construction site issue. He assured her that it was a false alarm before saying, "No doubt, Ian was behind it."As he spoke, Sage heard some noise coming from the other end. It sounded like a chair spinning. "Ms. Joyner, judging from that, Ian Holcomb seems to care about you."Sage did not want to talk about Ian, so she got straight to the point. "Shane, I have some good news and bad news. Which one would you like to hear first?""Why? Have you come across some tough projects?" Shane questioned lackadaisically.She decided to tease him.
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 345
Sage did not continue bickering with Shane. She admitted, "I do not plan to tell Ian about the pregnancy, and I do not intend to keep the baby. I'm still waiting for the right time to have the surgery, but if Ian learns about my pregnancy, I hope you will step up."If Ian learned about her pregnancy, he would be unlikely to agree to the divorce, be it out of a sense of responsibility or otherwise. Not only that, he might get the older family members to pressure her into moving back to Solaris Estate. Therefore, Sage thought of getting Shane to take the blame for the time being."Tsk! I can't believe you. You're so insistent on divorce to the point that you're even keeping a pregnancy a secret from him," Shane commented, feeling amused."So are you helping me or not?" she pressed."I can take the blame, but I never make a bad bargain. What do I get out of this?" he asked.Sage honestly revealed, "You gain nothing out of this. But if you refuse to help me, I'll tell Giselle that I

Terry was the only one to calmly put away his laptop and meeting documents. When he was done, he followed Ian out of the meeting room. Without guessing, he knew that Ian was feeling troubled because of Sage.Although Ian had a busy schedule yesterday afternoon, he drove himself to the Joyners' residence after getting a call, having no time to call the driver. He had left in haste, and this morning he showed up at the office looking quiet. Terry had to tiptoe around Ian for fear of getting scolded.Thankfully, Ian did not vent his anger on Terry despite looking upset. His emotions seemed to be well under control.Noticing the deep frown on Ian's face, Terry said timidly, "Mr. Holcomb, I need to excuse myself for a bit. I have somewhere to go."Still frowning, Ian questioned, "Where to?"Terry replied, "Heliconia Hotel."The familiar name attracted Ian's attention. He unclenched his fist and turned to Terry. "Why are you headed to that hotel?"Terry lowered his gaze. He explaine

Underneath his suit jacket, Ian wore the shirt that Sage had handed to him last night. As it had been stuffed in the corner for a while, the shirt's collar didn't look as stiff as it usually did.She thought in surprise, "Isn't Ian very meticulous about his appearance? He also has a dressing room in his office. Why didn't he change into a fresh shirt?""What were you up to before this to fall asleep this early?" His low, baritone voice drew her attention.She rolled her eyes at him. But instead of answering, she questioned, "Why are you here?"Ian handed her an exquisite-looking bag. "Terry said he forgot to return this to you at Morita. He asked me to deliver it."His remark puzzled Sage. She thought that Terry had returned every item to her when they left Morita. Did he miss anything?She accepted the bag and checked the packaging of the item, but she could not recall whether or not she had bought that item. She brushed it off as possibly a gift that came with her purchases tha

Sage hurried up to Ian and snatched the paper from his grasp. She hissed, "How dare you look through my stuff without my permission? That was very rude of you!"Ian seemed perplexed by the angry and vigilant look on her face. "It's just a flyer. Why can't I take a look at it?"It was only then Sage realized that she was clutching a flyer promoting fertility treatments. Someone must have shoved it into her hand when she left the hospital. She hadn't paid attention to it due to her emotional distress. She must have tossed the flyer along with her bag onto the coffee table.She let out a sigh of relief when she realized that Ian hadn't seen the report. Thankfully, he did not touch her bag."What was that huge reaction? What did you think I was staring at?" He fixed his eyes on her.Knowing that she had overreacted, she put on a calm face. "Nothing! I just hate it when you touch my stuff without my permission."That, however, did not rid his suspicion. He questioned, "These flyers on

"Were you not the one who bought the tie clip for me?" Ian confronted Sage, barely able to control his anger.She confessed, "No, I wasn't. Grandpa bought the tie clip for you to thank you for the antique inkwell." Immediately after telling the truth, Sage noticed a hint of fleeting disappointment in Ian's eyes. He questioned, "Sage, why didn't you clarify that when Susan took out the gift that day?"He thought of the day he wore the tie clip and how he had dismissed Calvin's comment about the design not being Sage's taste. When he thought about it, he realized that there was a hesitant look on Calvin's face as he said that.It turned out that Calvin was right all the while. Sage had not only not bought him the tie clip, she had never bought any other gift for him.He chided himself for acting like a fool, wearing the shirt she handed him last night and putting on the tie clip, thinking that she'd be happy to see it."What's there to clarify?" she retorted coldly. "I bought you

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
