A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 655
The visitor was Ian. He was in a wheelchair and dressed in a patient's robe, looking as pallid as Shane. His eyes were a sea of mixed, intense emotions—regret, fear, and thrill. She paused.According to Tiana, "they" had all sustained injuries. If Shane was grazed by bullets, did Ian suffer from gunshot wounds? Was this what Tiana had hesitated to tell her?"I don't welcome you here. You're only going to pollute the air I breathe." Shane turned hostile when he saw Ian.He couldn't get over Ian's refusal to share the information on Sage despite fully knowing that he was in Toledon looking for Sage. When Shane arrived with reinforcements, Ian was already there.More than anything, he couldn't forgive Ian for placing Sage in that dangerous situation. But Ian wasn't angered at Shane's aversion. He fixed his longing gaze on Sage. Sensing that Ian had something to say, Sage told Shane, "Have a good rest. I'll drop by in a while.""When will that be?" Shane questioned with a tinge of

"I trust your word." Ian put on a ruthless expression after hearing Sage's words. His eyes glimmered coldly. "I'll offer you an explanation.""Will you, Ian Holcomb?" she mused. "Ivy saved your life when you were young. You two grew up together. Are you sure you'll steel up when she cries?"Her smile and her words were filled with mockery. She did not believe in him at all.Feeling a dull pain rising in his chest, he said sternly, "Sage, whoever hurts you will need to pay the price."She stared at him. "Fine then. I'll wait. I hope you walk the talk."At that moment, someone arrived with updates. "Mr. Holcomb, Ms. Shekdotter is awake.""Got it." Facing Sage's disdain, he said, "Sage, I'll explain everything to you after I'm done taking care of Ivy's matters."After Ian and his men left the room, Tiana returned. She confirmed with Sage, "I got the confirmation that Henry was the Elstian victim last night."From what I learned, he wanted to kill Ivy, but she accidentally killed h

Sage rolled her eyes at Tiana's question and refused to answer."Okay. I'll do this another way. You asked about Shane when you woke up. Did you not worry about Ian at all?" Tiana asked.With a self-deprecating grin, Sage thought, "What's the point of worrying over Ian? I shouldn't be wasting my time and energy on him."Tiana continued staring at Sage in curiosity. Sage blurted out, "Dear Tiana, why don't you tell me if you'd prefer seeing me with Shane or Ian?"Tiana giggled, knowing how gossipy Sage was. "I was curious! I wanted to know if you still have Ian in your heart. If you don't, you can give Shane a shot!""No. Definitely not Shane Morrison!" Calvin's voice echoed outside the room. Soon, he appeared in front of the ladies.Tiana questioned, "Why are you here?""Of course, I need to drop by after what happened to Ian and my sister-in-law. Tiana, why didn't you tell me you were visiting? I could have offered you a ride!"Tiana replied, "Sorry. I was in a hurry and didn'

"I… Anyway, Sage cannot date Shane Morrison!""She's a fool if she gives Ian a second chance!"Sage cleared her throat as Tiana and Calvin bickered. "Can the both of you have your fight in the corridor? I'm a patient here."They hurriedly snapped out of it and felt sheepish about their childish behavior. Calvin apologized first."Tiana, I'm sorry. I was overly emotional just now. I haven't had dinner yet. Are you hungry? Want to join me?"Tiana felt embarrassed by her reaction after Calvin's attitude softened. "I won't—"Sage announced, "Go, Tiana. I need some peace now."Tiana looked speechless.…In another room, Ivy laid in the bed. She had multiple soft tissue injuries and tears. The worst injury was the stab wound on the side of her chest, which she had gotten a few stitches for.She opened her eyes when she heard some sound in her room. Ian showed up in his wheelchair with a sour face.Ivy looked a little panicked, but she didn't show it. She called out to him weakly,
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 659
A bad feeling washed over Ivy when she saw Ian's unforgiving and determined expression. Had something gone awry?It was Henry who brought Sage to Toledon for a project that existed in real life. Meanwhile, Ivy herself had a valid reason to visit Toledon. Not only that, she had been put through hell.After Henry's death, why would Ian insist that she had something to do with the incident? Did he rely on Sage's one-sided account?As Ivy was going through the possibilities in her mind, Ian pulled out a recording on his phone."You need to be extra careful. You cannot raise her suspicion before you arrive in Toledon. If you mess this up again, I'll send you and your mom to jail for life!"Those were the audio recordings of her calls with Henry! Her mind went blank and her hands froze. Her scalp tingled from the shock. "W- Where did you get this from? Someone must have been plotting against me!" She raised her voice. "This must be fabricated. Ian, you need to investigate it thoroughl
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 660
Ian set a steely gaze on Ivy. "Since you insist that you're the sole culprit, you deserve to spend the rest of your life in prison for your vile actions.""No, Ian! Don't do this to me…" Ivy wanted to get up from the floor and beg for mercy, but she tore her wounds in her haste. She fainted before she could stand up.The bodyguard in the ward quickly called the doctor to check on Ivy. The doctor later confirmed that Ivy had not been faking it. She had really fainted from her grave injury and blood loss.…After Tiana and Calvin left, Sage had no mood for rest. Instead, she made her way to Shane's room. However, she hesitated at the door.As Tiana had said, Shane's feelings must have been genuine if he was willing to risk his life for her. Still, they were a huge burden to her. At first, she thought Shane was fond of her because she was fun to tease, not to mention he could spite Ian. She never thought he was being serious."Sage? Are you at the door?" Shane spoke from within th
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 661
Shane was lost and confused. "What?"Sage cast him a puzzled look. "We've only hung out for a few months, and I'm not special. Why would you have real feelings for me?" Shane fell silent after hearing her words. "What does that even mean?" He would have tapped her on the head if he could move more. "Did you think my feelings for you were not real? Did you think I was just bluffing when I said I was into you?"She cleared her throat. "No one can tell the truth from a lie because you're such an unserious person.""Sage, you—" Shane was too dumbfounded and annoyed to speak.Sage knew that her question was unfair after all he had done for her. He helped her trick Ivy, bought a property for her, followed her to Southbend, and even tried to gift her an entire zoo. He had clearly shown his feelings through his actions, but she just never took them seriously.In the face of his anger, she cut the apple into cubes and handed him one. "Want one?""No," he said disgruntledly. "Sage, i
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 662
"How cheesy," Calvin mumbled in a low voice by the door, but Shane heard him.He glanced at Calvin before purring at Sage, "Sage, that apple you peeled was so sweet. I want more!"Sage, Tiana, and Calvin were dumbfounded by Shane's behavior. Calvin immediately left the room with a feeling of disgust.At the same time, Tiana tried to hide her shock and said, "Um, Mr. Morrison, we'll let Sage keep you company then. We're off to grab a bite!"With that, she disappeared, leaving Sage and Shane alone. Feeling flustered, Sage teased him."Shane Morrison, can you please give me a heads up when you're about to put on an act? I need to ready myself."He scoffed nonchalantly. "I love annoying Ian's little brown-noser."…An hour later, Calvin met with Ian. He complained, "Ian, Shane is too much! He made up excuses to make Sage stay by his side, and he even made her feed him apples in front of us!" He was fuming at the thought of Shane's words to Sage. "Oh, you should've seen the way he

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
