A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 625
Sage decided not to eat the food they offered and instead chose to pick up a stalk of green beans for herself. "Thanks, but I'll just pick what I want."Shane grumbled, "I've never been so thoughtful to a woman before, Sage. Yet, you're not even going to give me a chance?"She glared at him, and he immediately surrendered. "Alright, alright. You do you."Ian pursed his lips and remained silent, while Simon continued to eat as if nothing happened. Simon remained tight-lipped about Sage and Shane's relationship throughout dinner. Sage had a feeling he was well-informed about her background and her relationship with Shane. Thus, the gathering wasn't the uncomfortable situation she had feared, but rather his roundabout way of telling her that she wasn't compatible with Shane.She didn't have any desire to pursue anything with Shane anyway, so Simon's actions held no weight with her. As the gathering drew to a close, Sage felt as if she had accomplished her mission. She was abou

Sage was caught off guard. Shane added, "If it bothers you when Ian and I fight every time we meet, I'll try to restrain myself from now on."He sounded genuine and a little hurt. It tugged at her heartstrings. She even wondered if she had been too harsh on him. After all, she had played a part in Giselle's decision to call off their engagement, and she felt responsible for the fact that he had to deal with all of these problems."Shane, I—""Well, well, would you look at that, Sage? You can't help but want to talk to me, after all!" Shane teased."You're such a jerk, Shane!" Sage couldn't help it anymore. She punched him squarely in the chest. To her surprise, he didn't move out of the way. He clutched his aching chest and groaned out in pain. Sage had trained for a while, so her punch was nowhere near weak. She had assumed that he would dodge her attack. She had no idea that he would let her hit him. "Are you okay?" she asked, leaning in to check on him.Shane looked u

Sage wasn't the least bit surprised to see Ian outside her door. He probably came to inquire about her relationship with Shane. No matter what her relationship with Shane was, she didn't feel the need to explain anything to Ian. Hence, Sage decided to ignore him. However, Ian started knocking on the door, causing enough disturbance to warrant a complaint from the neighbors. Soon, property management personnel arrived to persuade him to stop. However, Ian played the victim and said, "My wife is mad at me and won't open the door."The people outside must've been fooled by his appearance because they started knocking on the door for him. "Ma'am, it's normal to have a lover's spat. I'm sure you'll be able to talk this out. Please open the door for your husband! If you don't, it'll disturb your neighbors' rest."Sage eventually opened the door, and there were two property management staff members standing outside, along with Ian, who was wearing only a shirt and had his coat drape

Over the next few days, Ian didn't show up in front of Sage again. Shane was also tied up with work and couldn't spend much time with Sage. During this period, Sage and Giselle finalized CureX Pharmaceuticals' investment proposal and ironed out all the details. Now, all that was left was the official signing.Michael invited Sage out for lunch the day he was heading to Mimosa to discuss the endorsement deal. Both parties had clear intentions to collaborate, and the negotiations proceeded without a hitch.Sage invited Priscilla and Dave to lunch with Michael. During the meal, Dave tactfully mentioned that Michael had been doing well lately and that his fan base had been stabilized. "He's on the rise in his career at the moment. As long as he stays clear of scandals and gossip, I'm confident he'll go far."Sage understood what Dave was getting at. At the banquet the other night, Michael had been attentive to her and even made a point of wearing the suit she had purchased. Dave m

Sage barely had a chance to dwell on it before Linda took her hand in hers. "My bad, I've said too much. Sage, since Ian gave you the brooch, just accept it. After all, he never gave you anything in the past. Consider this his way of making it up to you!"Sage replied absent-mindedly, "It's alright, Grandma Holcomb. To be honest, he gave me a lot of things, including jewelry."Even though she bought them on her own, she used his card. In a way, he gave them to her. Besides, Ian had also given her a panda-shaped bracelet in Southbend County."That's alright. Just accept one more of his gifts then," Linda continued knowingly. "Did he upset you again? Is that why you've returned the brooch to me, and you don't want to see him?"Sage shook her head and smiled. "Nah. It's just not right for me to receive such a valuable gift from him anymore."As they chatted, a housekeeper's voice came from outside. "Mr. Holcomb." Sage's brows drew together as she figured out that the car she had

Sage asked, "So, what did you want to ask me?"Ian continued, "Grandpa Joyner mentioned that your mother was a talented perfumer and that you've inherited her talent. I was wondering if you've ever heard of similar cases and if you could create a scent that could help alleviate Sandy's condition?"Sage had to admit that she had never heard of such a thing before. Even though it was challenging to craft fragrances, it was only manageable for custom-made perfumes since the requester could articulate their needs. In Sandy's case, there was no way to start."I don't know her well enough, and I don't know what she likes. It might be difficult," she admitted candidly.His eyes dimmed when he heard that. "I understand."Initially, she intended to comfort him, but she thought of their current relationship and decided against it. "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now.""Yeah."Sage walked to her car, opened the door, got in, and sped away. Ian watched her car disappear before

She had clearly warned him not to get any ideas about Layla. He was also aware that it was a lost cause. So why did he still want to see Layla? Why did he ask her to give him another chance?Sage briefly comforted Layla and told her she didn't have to pretend to be in a relationship with Henry anymore. If she found him annoying, she could just ignore him.After hanging up, Sage gave it some thought. Recently, Henry had only contacted her twice, saying that everything was fine. Even though Ronald was receiving treatment from doctors abroad, some of his nerves had died because he wasn't treated in time. Hence, he would have to use a wheelchair for the rest of his life.Ivy had probably been demoted recently and was back to working at Bolton Investment. Sandra said she hadn't stirred up any trouble. Thus far, she hadn't noticed anything amiss with the project Shekdotter Incorporated had signed. Sage felt as if something was wrong as she reflected on the recent events. After all,

"The contract carries legal weight once it's signed. How could he simply demand an amendment?" she asked.Henry explained with a troubled expression, "The manager at Shekdotter Incorporated thinks so too, but the client is very adamant. "They're saying they'd just breach the contract if we don't agree. After all, it's not their loss."Sage didn't want the other party to breach the contract, as this would delay the Shekdotter family's demise. But she couldn't help but wonder why the other party was being so stubborn. Henry had no clue and said he was in a pinch. He was worried that Ivy would find out, but he couldn't persuade the vice-CEO either. "The best way forward is for us to meet with the client, find out what's bugging them, and resolve the issue pronto," he suggested.Even though his suggestion sounded like a solid plan, she wasn't sold. "I'll think about it and get back to you in a few days.""Ms. Joyner, I've been racking my brain all week, but they're stubborn as mu

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
