A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 705
Tiana and Calvin first got an update from the doctor about Wendy's condition.Wendy had a bruise on her forehead and several scrapes on her elbow and body. The most serious injuries were fractures to her spine and leg, which required hospitalization.Fortunately, the escalator wasn't very high, and Wendy didn't land headfirst, so there were no further, more serious injuries.After getting the details, they were about to enter the hospital ward when Tiana saw Wilson approaching.He was dressed casually but still looked staggering. However, his usually expressionless, handsome face seemed to show a hint of weariness.Calvin stepped forward and handed Wilson a gift box prepared by his assistant."Dr. Tate, we're very sorry about what happened tonight. Our mall will cover your mother's medical and nutritional expenses. If she has any other needs, please let me know," Calvin said."But you can't ask for too much. Tonight's incident happened suddenly, and, understandably, the mall's s

But Tiana didn't want to hear it. "If that's all, I'm leaving.""Wait. There's more," Wilson said quickly. "The night I got drunk, I fell asleep in the car. Dr. Gates had the driver help me upstairs. I didn't know she stayed over.""She just sat by the bed all night. Nothing happened," Wilson explained.Tiana found it laughable. "Why are you explaining this to me? We're nothing to each other now. What happens between you and anyone else is none of my business."Wilson was momentarily taken aback but pushed on."Tiana, I know you don't want anyone to know about our past, so I haven't contacted you these past few days. I didn't want to cause you any trouble or gossip. But I felt you needed to know the truth."Wilson rarely spoke so much at once. He looked a bit desperate as if he was trying to mend things.Tiana scoffed. "Wilson, now that we're divorced, you're rushing to explain things. But when we were married, you never said anything, and you never cared if I misunderstood you.
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 707
Faced with his mother's displeasure, Wilson stayed silent. However, Lana tactfully suggested leaving."Mrs. Tate, it's getting late. I'll come see you again tomorrow.""You don't have to do that, Dr. Gates. I'll arrange for a caregiver for Mom," Wilson stated bluntly.Lana hesitated briefly and left the hospital room without a word.Wendy was very unhappy. "Wilson, what are you doing? What did Lana do to deserve this?"Wilson replied coldly, "Tiana took care of you day and night before. You never thanked her for anything.""What should I thank her for? Shouldn't a daughter-in-law take care of her sick mother-in-law?" Wendy sneered. "What are you holding in your hand?" With that, Wendy noticed the gift box in her son's hand and suddenly realized something."Did Tiana just come by? How come she only brought these two measly gifts? Does she think she can brush off what happened tonight without even facing us? Is she feeling guilty?"Wilson said, "I didn't let her in.""Why didn

"Dr. Gates, I appreciate your help the last time I was drunk, but we're just friends now. Please don't involve yourself in my family matters anymore. I'm afraid it might upset Tiana," Wilson stated directly.Though Lana felt uncomfortable, she still spoke up. "But you two—""We're divorced, but she's the only one I care about," Wilson affirmed firmly.Feeling embarrassed by Wilson's repeated rejection, Lana covered her mouth and left. Wilson didn't follow or pay her any attention. Instead, he sat wearily in the corridor.…When Tiana returned, Sage asked her about what had happened. Upon hearing Calvin's confession, Sage was delighted. "I knew he liked you! But why hasn't he made any moves lately? What's with all this focus on his career?"Tiana shared Calvin's words with Sage, and she was also moved by Calvin's actions. "He's really something. He even considered every little detail! Tiana, why not give him a chance? Even though he's Ian's best friend, he seems much more depe

Sage calmly replied, "Even if Ian took charge of this project himself, it wouldn't affect me. I've long since lost any feelings for him."Shane still felt uneasy. "Let's switch to another project. The renewable energy sector looks promising.""Renewable energy is fine, but why give up on CureX Pharmaceuticals?"Sage continued, "If, as you say, Ian only got involved because of me, what makes you think he wouldn't do the same with renewable energy? Are you going to give up every project to avoid him?"Shane said, "As long as I'm not giving you up, I don't care about the projects."Sage remarked, "I didn't expect you to be such a romantic, Shane."Shane leaned in closer. "So, Sage, you're admitting we're in a relationship?"Sage refused to entertain his nonsense. "Enough joking around. We can't drop the CureX project."Sage swiftly made a decision. "I'll have Giselle revise the contract and the proposal. We'll call a meeting with the investment team tomorrow."Even if it meant in

Sage started, "I—""Well said. Everyone, keep all of this here!" Shane said, clearly pleased. The staff all smiled and started showering compliments and praise on Shane. Sage wanted to explain, but she couldn't get a word in, so she gave up.Upon seeing this, Shane's smile grew even more dazzling and charming.Changing clothes, picking accessories, and getting hair and makeup done took a couple of hours. But at the end of it, Sage looked in the mirror and had to admit that the professionals had done a remarkable job highlighting all her best features.Shane, on the other hand, had changed into a white suit and slicked his hair back. What could have been a disaster for anyone else looked naturally elegant and striking on him.Once they were both ready, it was nearly time to leave. Shane's assistant carried several gifts and followed them to the parking lot.Owen's birthday party was set at a five-star hotel. The driver pulled up to the entrance. Soon, a doorman and valet came ov

The sudden pull made Sage let out a small cry. In the next second, she found herself in a broad embrace.The slightly familiar scent of cedar reached her nostrils. As she turned her head, she realized it was Ian.He must have just come from the elevator. His handsome face was slightly tense, and his dark eyes were coldly fixed on Shane."Who gave you permission to touch her?" Ian asked in a low voice.Shane's expression was equally unfriendly. "What does it have to do with you? And what right do you have to grab Sage?"Upon seeing the confrontation, Sage pulled herself away from Ian and stood beside Shane. Frowning at Ian, she asked, "What are you doing here?"Ian looked at Sage. Her makeup was flawless today, enhancing her already delicate beauty. She wore a white, form-fitting dress which was simple, yet exquisite. It perfectly accentuated her figure.The dress ended just above the knee, revealing her slender, fair legs. It made her look like an ethereal spirit.Standing next

"Not at all, Sage is very capable—""Grandpa." Ian couldn't bear to listen anymore. He called out to Donald and greeted Owen and his wife."Uncle Owen, happy birthday. Here's a small gift I prepared for you. Please accept it," Ian said as he handed a velvet box to Owen.Susan took it on behalf of Owen and opened it to reveal a fine snuffbox—a favorite of Owen's.Owen noticed and smiled. "Thank you, Ian. That's very thoughtful of you.""I knew you liked this, so when I saw it at the auction, I thought it would be perfect," Ian said with a faint smile."Sage, what gift did you prepare for your uncle?" Ian asked Sage.Sage gave Ian a less-than-pleased look. She was convinced Ian was doing this on purpose.Truth was, she had also prepared a snuffbox, but it was nothing compared to Ian's. She had picked it from a home store, so it was not as exquisite as Ian's.Now that his precious gift had been presented first, how could she possibly measure up?"We've prepared a rather large gi

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
