A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 419
"Grandpa, I'd like to have a word with Sage first," Ian said.Sage frowned. "We've already said all there is to say. Ian, you promised me that we'd get a divorce right after Grandma's birthday. It's been dragged out long enough. Please, let's just get it done.""Unless we clear a few things up, I won't agree to the divorce, Sage.""Ian Holcomb!" Her brows knitted in frustration."You scoundrel!" Linda swung her walking stick at Ian. "Mind your words! Can't you see what you've done to her?"Ian pursed his lips and remained silent."Why don't you hear him out for a bit, Sage?" Linda continued, "Don't worry. Matilda and I came here because of your divorce. We'll support whatever decision you make.""Sage, if you don't want to talk to him, you don't have to." Donald added, "I can't bear to see you hurt again."A warm feeling spread through her heart. It felt good to have people stand up for her. "I'll talk to Ian for a bit, Grandpa," she said.Since Linda spoke up, she didn't want

"Even if we become strangers after this?" he asked again.Who would want to have anything to do with their ex-spouse? Sage responded resolutely, "Yes."His eyes flared with anger. "We've been together for over five years, Sage. But you're okay with letting it all go?" Sage found this amusing. "Let me set the record straight. I was the one who invested everything in this relationship for over five years. There was never a real connection between us.""How do you know there wasn't?" he roared. "Even if there wasn't before, I'm sure there is a connection now, and I want to reciprocate your feelings! Why are you so set on rejecting me?""Why can't I reject you, Ian?" she asked. "I used to like you, and you wanted me gone. Yet, you want to bind me by your side now that I don't like you anymore. Just because you have feelings for me doesn't mean I have to accept them, you know?" "Why don't you like me anymore? You should at least give me a reason that I can accept!" Ian fumed. Sage

As Sage held the divorce certificate outside the court, she felt like she was in a dream. Ian had actually signed the divorce agreement. They were divorced now. She was free! "Here are the deed and keys for Palgrave Place." Ian handed her an envelope.Ian hadn't taken it with him the last time he visited the hospital, so she had a deliveryman send it back to him. Sage hadn't expected him to still insist on giving it to her."There's also a blank check inside," he said apathetically. "Both you and Grandpa insisted on not taking any of my assets, but we were married after all. Consider these as compensation for you."His face was expressionless, and his voice was devoid of any emotion. He had reverted to his usual cold and distant demeanor.Sage turned him down. "It's alright. You don't owe me anything."After all, she was the one who pushed for this marriage. Ian could've avoided all this trouble. Now, it was time to let everything go back to the way things were. Before the div

Sage headed toward the curb, where her grandfather's car was waiting."Have you finished the paperwork?" Donald asked."Yep!" Her heart was filled with joy as she held up the divorce certificate proudly.Donald shook his head helplessly. "You were all smiles when you got married, just as you are now getting divorced."Embarrassed, she buried her head in her grandfather's shoulders and said, "I'm sorry, Grandpa. I was selfish again."He gave her head a gentle tap. "There's nothing to be sorry about. I'd rather see you happy than trapped in an unhappy marriage.""Thanks, Grandpa." Sage felt warm inside, and she snuggled up to her grandfather affectionately."By the way, Grandpa, why were you at Solaris Estate?" she asked as she recalled.Donald explained that he had learned about the incident at Maven Corporation that morning. When he reached out to an acquaintance, he was asked about her and Ian's situation. That was when he realized that their affair had become quite the talk o

"What's on your mind, Sage? Why aren't you picking up your phone?" Donald asked.Sage hurriedly plastered a smile on her face. "Nothing much. Give me a minute, Grandpa. I'll step out and answer the call."Donald had no idea why she was avoiding him. But he was aware that his granddaughter was all grown up now, so he had to respect her decision.The ringing had already stopped by the time Sage got out of the car. Ivy had called again. Sage turned on the recording function before answering the phone. "Are you here to gloat about my divorce with Ian?" she asked coldly.Ivy appeared to have been caught off guard for a moment as it took her a couple of seconds to ask, "Divorce? Why would you and Ian divorce, Sage? When did this happen?""Quit the act. Weren't you just waiting for this moment after all that effort you put in?" Sage sneered. "Congratulations! You got what you wanted. Now you and Ian can be together for the rest of your lives. So, stop wasting your energy to get back at

"He's keeping things under control for the time being. He probably wants to handle it on his own. You can step in in a few days when the situation worsens and he can't handle it anymore," Shane said.This was great news! She could deal with Ivy once Henry was out of the picture."Dinner's on me once this is all over, Mr. Morrison!" Her mood, which had been sullied by Ivy, lifted again.Shane snorted. "As long as you don't make empty promises. By the way, Marcus hasn't been able to reach you for the past few days. He asked me to tell you that he had found Giselle's housekeeper. He would like to discuss the details with you in person."He continued, "When are you free? I'll go with you. I'd like to hear the whole story as well."Sage hadn't had the chance to fill him in on the details of her miscarriage. With her grandfather waiting in the car, it wasn't the right time to discuss such a sensitive matter.Sage responded, "I'll be free in a few days. My health comes first. I need to

Ian had established himself as the leader of the company in just a few years, and he carried himself with confidence. Even though he hadn't challenged Ian directly, it wasn't a good sign for him to reject his decisions. Leo panicked a little when he realized Ian was slipping from his grasp."Ronald told me you stopped doing business with his company to stand up for Sage. Is that true?" Leo asked with a hardened expression."Uncle Ron's getting old. He can't tell what's important anymore, so it's time for him to take it easy."Ian didn't want to waste his breath on his father anymore. "Dad, if you don't have anything else to do here, why don't you head home or go back abroad? I'll take care of the company, so you don't have to come back for such issues in the future.""How dare you!" Leo snapped again. After all, this was the CEO's office—the pinnacle of authority at Holcomb Corporation. It would be embarrassing for both of them if they quarreled here and someone overheard."Do

Ian switched to a different phone and texted Sage. "Why are you upset again, Sage? I thought you've always wanted this project. What's wrong with me giving it to you?"When there was still no response after a while, he tried to call Sage, but he couldn't get through. Ian felt a lump in his chest, causing a dull ache.…Meanwhile, Sage descended the stairs and noticed the doctor her grandfather had arranged for her was already there. Yesterday, at her grandfather's insistence, she went to the hospital for a full-body check-up. Donald only relaxed after the doctor confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her head and internal organs. Even though she only had external injuries, her grandfather insisted that she have the doctor apply ointment to her wounds every day to ensure that there would be no scars or problems left on her body. The doctor treated her wounds and applied hot compresses to the area around her waist and hips where she was injured. It took a few hours. In th

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
