A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 689
Sage nodded. "Sure, Madam Matilda."Matilda explained, "I'm sure you've heard about Sandy's condition. I need to find a scent that she doesn't find repulsive to help calm her emotions. "Ian's grandmother said you're very skilled at perfumery, so I wanted to ask if you could help create a scent for Sandy."She explained that while there were a lot of professional perfumers both domestically and internationally, Sandy wouldn't want to interact with strangers, let alone cooperate with them to express her feelings. That was why she was asking for her help.Ian had asked her once before at the Holcomb Manor if she could help him create a fragrance to alleviate Sandy's illness. At the time, she had politely declined because she had never met Sandy and was unfamiliar with her preferences. But now that she was looking at the hopeful look in Matilda's eyes and the obedient Sandy, who was absorbed in her iPad, Sage couldn't bring herself to turn Matilda down.She nodded and said, "I'll

"Sandy, how could you follow a stranger?"Startled, Sandy became visibly tense and uneasy. Sage hurriedly hugged her. "Please lower your voice, Mr. Holcomb. You're scaring Sandy."Leo was clearly displeased. "Mind your own business. Who are you to interject when I'm talking to my daughter?""There's no need to be so harsh, Mr. Holcomb. They're just kids," Dale said gently. "Exactly, Mr. Holcomb. Ms. Joyner is just concerned about Ms. Holcomb," Abby chimed in.Leo's expression softened slightly when he heard that."Sandy!" Just then, Matilda hurried over after finishing her call. She first checked on Sandy before turning to Leo. "Sandy has been emotionally unstable lately. Please be more mindful of how you speak to her in the future.""What are you two doing here?" Leo asked lowly.Matilda responded apathetically, "I'm here to have dinner with Sage."His brows drew together before he introduced the people beside him. "This is Mr. Dale Sutton and his daughter, Abby."He then t

Nobody thought Wilson would agree. After all, most people would refuse when they weren't already part of the hangout. However, there was no reason to change the decision since Wilson had already agreed. Hence, the group arrived at a bistro. Everyone drank and played games, but Wilson didn't join in. He didn't eat anything or drink a single sip of alcohol. Nobody invited him to play either.But he just wouldn't leave! Everyone knew his status at work and his presence made the others feel stressed. "Dr. Wilson, sorry about the noise. You aren't drinking anyway, so why don't you head home and get some rest?" said another doctor.Wilson didn't like to socialize, but that didn't mean that he couldn't tell that they wanted him to leave. He couldn't help but look at Tiana.She was laughing happily while chatting with her colleagues. Her cheeks were flushed, and she looked extra pretty. However, she never looked at him even once and said not a single word to him the whole night."Dr.
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 692
Although the others still hadn't recovered from their shock, they hurried to pull Wilson away from Tiana."Tiana, darling, go home with me…" muttered Wilson. He gripped the arm of the male doctor who was holding him and said drunkenly, "Don't ignore me…"Everyone knew that Wilson was so drunk that he couldn't recognize who was who anymore. "He's good friends with the director. Ask him for Dr. Wilson's address and send him home!" someone said.Someone called the director while Wilson mumbled, "Tiana, my wife.""I know what's going on!" said a nurse excitedly. "Dr. Wilson came to work at our hospital because he likes Nurse Tiana and wants to marry her!" "That makes me think of Dr. Wilson always passing by the nurses' station. Is it because he wants to see Tiana?" said another nurse."A few days ago, Dr. Wilson asked me where Tiana went!" someone chimed in. "That reminds me of something too! Dr. Wilson said hi to Tiana at the canteen on his first day at the hospital!" whooped
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 693
Tiana stopped in front of Wilson. He was leaning against a colleague, and his eyes were bleary behind his steel-rimmed spectacles.Wilson had perfect features, and he still looked classy and arrogant even when he was drunk. Tiana suddenly thought of the admiration she had felt toward him the first time she saw him. She had thought that he had married her so quickly because he felt the same. She had had so much hope for their marriage. Alas, it was all just her wishful thinking. What Wilson needed was a woman who was quiet, hardworking, ladylike, who could satisfy his physical needs, and who could take care of him and his family. On the other hand, Tiana wanted a husband who loved and understood her. When they had different needs, problems and grudges would emerge over time.Tiana knew that Wilson had been reluctant to sign the divorce papers at the court. She had tolerated many things out of love, but she couldn't tolerate being a replacement for someone else. She had been so
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 694
"Tiana, that woman likes Dr. Wilson, doesn't she? She came so quickly and looked so concerned!" a nurse asked Tiana the moment Wilson left.Tiana said with a neutral expression, "Maybe.""Dr. Wilson likes you, and she likes him. Are you guys in a love triangle?" said the nurse.Tiana burst out laughing. "This isn't a love triangle. I'm not involved in this at all! Just forget about everything that happened tonight!"Although everyone promised, it was still impossible to sweep it under the carpet. Somebody had recorded a video of Wilson hugging Tiana and calling her his wife and uploaded it into a group chat. Hence, many people at the hospital found out that Dr. Wilson had a crush on the head nurse, Tiana. However, Wilson and Tiana acted normally. Especially Wilson, who showed up to work the next day punctually and completely sober. He still behaved normally even when he saw the video from one of his housemen. That afternoon, Sage also saw the video on Tiana's phone when they

Tiana looked up and saw that it was Ian. Sage obviously spotted him too.Ian was wearing a tailor-made black suit with a casual green shirt underneath. Although he was dressed casually, he still looked like someone out of a movie with his dashing good looks.He must have heard what Tiana said because he looked a little sullen. However, he was acting normal, and he didn't say anything much.Tiana hadn't had much to do with Ian after the time she had scolded him at the hospital in Toledonese. She felt a little awkward being caught bad-mouthing him behind his back. "Sage, I'm going to check on a patient!" said Tiana and hurried out of the nurses' room. Sage looked at Ian and said, "Do you have something to ask me?"Ian said, "Mom told me that you're going to visit Sandy at home today. I also happen to be going today, but my driver can't pick me up. Let's go in your car."Sage was about to turn him down when he said, "Sage, I got badly injured too, but you never visited me nor ask
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 696
Shane asked where she was and said that he had some business matters to discuss with her. Nowadays, he often came to the hospital to deal with work matters. However, he had capable subordinates and good judgment. He didn't really need to discuss anything with her. He just wanted to talk to her.Sage smiled and said that she was going to the Holcomb residence and then told him that she would only be free later in the day.Shane already knew that she was going there, but he was still slightly reluctant. "How long will it take? Come back and have dinner with me." Sage agreed heartily. While they were chatting, Ian suddenly coughed. As expected, Shane immediately looked wary when he heard Ian. "Is Ian with you?"Sage glanced at Ian coldly, and he said, "Sorry, my throat's itchy.""He's going to the Holcomb residence too, so we just went together," said Sage.Shane said through gritted teeth, "Ian, I can offer you a few drivers if Holcomb Corp. doesn't have any. Stop finding ways

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
