A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 538
Shane strode toward Sage. Meanwhile, Ian kept his gaze fixed on her as if he was hoping she would say something. Without a word, Sage took her bag from Shane and walked away from the scene. "Why are you walking so fast?" Shane went after her. Ian was left standing there alone. However, Sage couldn't avoid him because he was also flying business class. A moment after Sage took her seat, Ian appeared a few steps away. There were very few seats in first class, so Sage couldn't switch to another seat. Besides, Shane was sitting next to her. Not wanting to talk to Ian, Sage lowered the back of her seat and slept. The flight to Southbend County was only two hours, so they already arrived just as Sage was waking up. She was met with a look of displeasure from Shane when she looked up. "Sage, I upgraded your seat to first class so we could discuss business, but you just slept throughout the flight," he said. Sage stretched and said, "Sorry, but I already told you that I'm on leav

Sage was reminded of Ian's pattern of behavior when she was dining out with Shane a couple of times. Each time, he'd come up with various excuses to keep Shane away. Perhaps, he was pulling the same trick again.Regardless, she never planned to visit the wildlife conservation center with Shane anyway and was therefore secretly glad that Ian had helped keep Shane away."Is that your brother over the phone? Why don't you head home?" Sage gently advised him. "You can always go for the site visit a few days later."The caller, who had likely overheard her voice, added sternly, "Shane Morrison, you're getting more defiant nowadays. How could you abandon your dad over a woman?""Yeah, I'm defiant. So what? You'd better not have any high hopes for me!" Shane irritably hung up on his brother.When Sage attempted to talk him into going home, Shane saw through her ulterior motive. He said coldly, "Sage Joyner, are you sending me away so you can enjoy some private time with Ian Holcomb? Drea

When Sage requested a new room, the front desk staff informed her that all the rooms were booked out.She checked the time in disbelief. "But it's not even nighttime. Do you run out of rooms this early?"The front desk staff explained that their rooms were popular online due to the hotel's proximity to the wildlife conservation center. Their rooms were fully booked daily.Sage reluctantly returned the ID to Shane. She suggested, "Why don't you find yourself another hotel?"Refusing to accept the ID, he insisted, "I'm tired. I'm not looking for another hotel. But I can put up with crashing in your room for a night.""Absolutely not. First of all, you're not tired. Besides, I refuse to accommodate your unreasonable request." With that, she tossed the ID to him.He caught the ID and relented, saying that he would stay at a different hotel if she could find an available room for him.Feeling doubtful, she nonetheless called up the hotels nearby to inquire about their availability. T

Despite not saying a word, Ian clearly did not recall Abby from his lack of response. However, Abby didn't seem to mind. Smiling, she reintroduced herself, "I'm Abby Sutton. We met at a dinner party at Yremdale a year ago. You were chatting with my dad when I accidentally bumped into you and spilled my wine all over your suit."Ian frowned for a while before recalling the incident. "Oh! Are you Dale Sutton's daughter?"She purred, "Looks like my dad is more famous than I am. It's fine, though, as long as you remember me now."Then, she changed the topic. "Mr. Holcomb, do you need more rooms? I booked two rooms. I can give you one!"Although Abby sounded pampered, she wasn't the annoying type. She had sweet looks and a petite frame, which hinted at a need for protection."Ms. Sutton, would you be short of a room if you give it to us? There must be a reason you booked two rooms," questioned Sage.Abby chuckled. "It's fine! I booked two rooms in case Thorn might not want to stay i

"Still better than you!" Shane deliberately took a jab at Ian. "She wouldn't have insisted on divorcing you if she didn't think I was a better choice!"Shane had hit Ian where it hurt. Ian's expression immediately shifted.Throughout the exchange, Sage pretended that she didn't hear them. She asked Abby, "Shall we sit at another table?"Abby, looking excited, replied, "It's fine! I think it's merrier to have dinner together!"Speechless, Sage knew that Abby relished in the gossip.Although the atmosphere was rather awkward, they managed to order dinner without much issue. Since Abby couldn't take spicy foods, they considered her preference when ordering.Soon, a feast was laid out for the table of four, and they dug in.Abby had a small appetite, so it didn't take long before she felt full. Since Thorn was making a fuss, she quickly left the restaurant to play with it, leaving Sage with the two men.Sage felt a rising tension when surrounded by Shane and Ian. Although Ian wasn'

Once again, Sage felt the change in Ian. Not once had he forcefully dragged her home at the airport, on the flight, or at the hotel lobby, even though he was upset to see her with Shane.Moreover, not only did he promise to win her back, but he also promised to treat her right, something he had never done before. He seemed determined to do so too, judging from the earnest look in his eyes.She would have hesitated and reconsidered getting back with him in her past life, or at the beginning of her rebirth. However, this time, she simply rejected him numbly. "No."His eyes were filled with disappointment. "Dear Sage, why do you have to be so determined?""Stop addressing me that way like we're close," she jeered at him. "Ian Holcomb, do you know what upsets me the most?"He replied with a tinge of guilt in his tone, "I know, Sage. I'll give you an explanation."No. He couldn't possibly know. Shaking her head, she remarked, "I don't need an explanation from you. Just stay away from

Shane irritably snapped, "It's all thanks to that little bitch Ian Holcomb! He wanted to send me home!"Sage guessed that Shane must have received a call from his dad and had to go home.She offered, "I'll book a car for you. You go to the airport on your own. I'm not tagging along.""Would you want to exchange two days of peace and quiet for a two-hour ride? Or do you want me to pester you for the next two days?" Shane challenged her.That was a nonquestion. Of course, Sage would go for the first. After Shane left today and Ian the day after, she could finally enjoy some peace.As Shane was busy getting his secretary to book a flight home, Sage wandered out of their lounge and found Abby playing with the cat by the potted plants. The energetic cat tried to gnaw her hand, but she patiently guided it to bite the pen she was holding instead.Abby looked attractive with her dark hair cascading down her shoulder as she crouched and gently coaxed the tiny cat.Suddenly, the cat flu

Shane's question was pointless. Of course, Sage wouldn't know. She even asked him a few times about his hostility toward Ian, but he skilfully dodged her question. Did he plan to tell her now?Curious, she questioned, "Why?""If you're curious, come sit at the back of the car. It'll be easier to talk," Shane suggested nonchalantly.Without hesitation, she joined him at the back of the car, as she was very curious about the beef between the two men.Besides, there was a chauffeur present. Shane wouldn't dare pull anything funny on her. Anyway, even without the chauffeur, she knew him well enough to understand that he wouldn't lay a finger on her.Soon, Shane joined her in the backseat. He closed the car door and snapped a photo of her. Then, he sent the photo to someone along with a voice message. "See, Mr. Holcomb? Sage is seeing me off at the airport. She's even sitting beside me in the car. You lost to me!"Sage finally realized the reason Shane brought up his grudge against

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
