Tiana poured her heart out, but Sage didn't take her words to heart. Shane was a loose cannon who did things on a whim. Even if he liked her, it was probably just a passing fancy. He probably thought she was interesting and just wanted to have some fun with her. Sage didn't want to be the butt of his jokes."Enough about me." Sage then asked Tiana, "You told me that Wilson was going to work at your hospital yesterday. What's up with that?"Tiana worked at a simple private hospital. While it wasn't bad, it was still different from the top-tier hospital Wilson worked at. After all, his hospital wasn't only well-known in Haldon, but also famous throughout the country. Patients flock there from far and wide. It was the dream workplace for many medical professionals, but Wilson abruptly chose to leave.Tiana responded calmly, "I just happened to overhear people talking about it at the hospital. I have no idea why he transferred over to my hospital, and I'm not interested in finding
Wendy believed she understood her son well. He was proud and would never compromise with himself to accommodate others. Moreover, no one could make her son act so irrationally. Therefore, she concluded that her son couldn't have changed hospitals just because of Tiana. He was simply annoyed that she was already planning his second marriage right after their divorce and was using this transfer as a way to rebel against her.His previous marriage had caused a lot of emotional distress for him. He had just managed to break free from it. It was only natural that he didn't want to get married again. It was her fault for being too hasty.Wendy reassured him, "I will never interfere in your personal affairs again, and I'll also reduce my contact with Dr. Gates. "Wilson, the hospital values you. As long as you're willing to go back, they'll be thrilled to have you. Please go back to your old hospital."Wilson insisted, "Mom, I've already told you that I'm not going back."This time, We
Now, Tiana had been promoted to head nurse and could be transferred to the hospital where he worked, but they were divorced. When he decided to go to Tiana's hospital, his superiors took turns persuading him to stay. They even offered to agree to any reasonable request of his. However, Wilson was aware that Tiana would no longer choose to transfer to his hospital. Hence, he turned down his superiors' offers and stuck to his decision.…The next day, Wilson officially started working at Heartstone Hospital. A department head he was familiar with showed him around the department and introduced him to his new colleagues. Wilson mentioned that he wanted to see the inpatient building, so the department head took him to the surgical inpatient department. As they passed by the general surgery nurse's station, he saw Tiana checking some documents with her colleagues. When she saw him, she froze for a moment before continuing to talk to her colleagues as if she didn't know him. A wave
Tiana chose not to respond to his question, and Wilson realized he had overstepped his boundaries. Back when they were married, she never asked about his whereabouts. Now that they were divorced, what right did he have to ask about hers?"I'm sorry, I just thought it's been a while since we've had dinner together, and I genuinely wanted to invite you out," he apologized.She responded lukewarmly. "Dr. Tate, your high-brow parents would surely be furious with me if they caught wind of your actions. We're divorced now. I don't want to live under the shadow you cast anymore.""Tiana—""I'm not joking around or playing games to spite you. No one at the hospital knows about our history. Please be mindful of how your actions might affect things, Dr. Tate. "Let's not have a repeat of what happened in the cafeteria earlier this day. It would be better if we just pretended not to know each other like before, for both our sakes." Tiana then hung up on him.Wilson held onto his phone and
Tiana sneered. "Oh, I'm sorry, but I've quit that job. So, how I speak and what I say are none of your business. If you want to listen, that's fine. If not, then get lost!" With that, she opened the car door and told Calvin, "Let's go."In this situation, Calvin naturally couldn't say much more. He obediently got into the driver's seat.Wilson stood rooted to the spot for a moment before getting into his own car. He wasn't the kind of person who couldn't live without love. He thought he could adjust to life after the divorce.But ever since he told his mother that he married Tiana because he liked her, he began to miss Tiana sorely. The more he tried to suppress it, the more it grew. Even academic reports couldn't calm him down.He had thought that coming to Heartstone Hospital would give him more opportunities to talk to Tiana. But she had treated him as if he weren't there the whole day. Even when she answered the phone, she sounded apathetic. He had thought that he would fee
As a familiar scent drew near, Sage knew who had walked in without even turning around. For the past couple of weeks, Ian hadn't shown up in front of her except for yesterday at Holcomb Manor. Sage assumed he had finally come to his senses and would no longer pester her. But lo and behold, here he was, walking into the shop."Mr. Holcomb, why'd you get out of the car? Didn't you have something to do?" Surprised, Abby turned around."Is this gentleman your boyfriend, Miss? He's more handsome than all the short drama leads I've ever seen!" exclaimed the young retail assistant. "This rosary bracelet would suit him perfectly. Why don't you buy one and give it to him?"When she heard that, Abby hurriedly set the bracelet down. "You can't just say things like that, young lady. He's not my boyfriend. The person he likes is this beautiful lady right here!"The retail assistant looked in the direction Abby pointed to and realized Ian's eyes were glued to the beautiful woman, who was stand
Judging from her reaction when he mentioned Owen, it was obvious that she didn't remember her uncle's birthday. So, the gift wasn't for her uncle. How could she casually give people gifts? Last time it was Michael's suit, and this time it was a men's bracelet.The retail assistant had clearly said that it would look good on him. Why didn't she just go along with it and get him one?…After Sage gave Shane the bracelet, he immediately put it on his wrist. "Not bad," he said, raising his hand. His wrist was slender, and his skin was fair. So, the bracelet looked good on him. "The retail assistant recommended it. It has nothing to do with me," she confessed. Annoyed, he asked, "Can't you just lie to me and tell me you picked it out on your own?" "I'd feel guilty about it."For once, Shane was rendered speechless. He decided not to sweat the details and told Sage that he had looked into Henry's situation. "He's been going to work as usual these days. Nothing out of the ordi
Donald replied, "Ian played a game of chess with me. He said you left a brooch over at Holcomb Manor when you visited Mrs. Holcomb Senior. So, he sent it back here for you."Sage was rendered speechless. She had to hand it to Ian. It'd only been a few hours since she sent the brooch to Linda. But now, it was back at Donald's place. He didn't even mention it when they were at the curio shop."Sage, why aren't you saying anything? Are you mad at me again for talking to him?" Smiling, Donald continued, "Remember, you're only divorced. That doesn't make you two enemies. I can't just drive him away when he comes to visit, can I?"Knowing that Donald had misunderstood her, Sage decided not to explain herself. She ended the call after exchanging a few endearing words with him.After giving it some thought, she decided against calling Ian to ask him about this. He'd made up his mind about letting her keep the brooch. In any case, she could always auction it off and give him the money she e
