A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 727
Shortly after, a housekeeper's voice sounded. "Welcome back, Mr. Holcomb."Sage's brows knitted. Why was Leo here? She hadn't run into Leo during her previous visits to Holcomb Manor, and she assumed he wasn't on good terms with Matilda, so he wouldn't come over. But here he was."Let's take a picture, Sage!" Sandy called out cheerily. Sage didn't want to dampen Sandy's mood, so she joined her with a smile.About half an hour later, Matilda came out to look for them and brought Sandy some water and her medications. Sandy obediently took them but was still in high spirits and suggested playing hide-and-seek with Sage.Sage hadn't expected her to suggest such a childish game. After all, the last time she played it was in elementary school.With a smile, Matilda explained, "A few of the housekeepers here treat Sandy like a child and have played hide-and-seek with her when she was feeling well. She probably thinks it's fun and wants to play it with you."Sage was willing to play
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 728
Steadying herself using the drawer, Sage couldn't help but feel a little silly. She had gone to such lengths to win a game of hide-and-seek. It would've been extremely embarrassing if she had tripped and fallen.Fortunately, no one else was there. Sage sighed in relief and reached out to close the drawer. But then she noticed a wooden box inside with its lid half-open. Inside, she spotted something that looked familiar—a crescent-shaped, light purple crystal hair clip.When she was in high school, she enjoyed wearing all kinds of hairbands, hair accessories, and hair clips. On her 18th birthday, her grandfather had commissioned a designer to create a custom set of crystal hair accessories for her, and one of the clips looked similar to this one.However, she often misplaced things and lost quite a few of them. This crescent-shaped hair clip had been missing for years. Was this her hair clip? Or had someone else purchased a similar one and left it here?Matilda and Linda would n
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 729
Sage was bewildered. Leo wanted Ian and Abby to get married? But it kind of made sense. Ian had mentioned that the Suttons were powerful and had a strong background. The union between these two families would definitely bring them to new heights."No matter how long it's been since I've been divorced, she's the only one I've ever truly cared about." Ian's cold voice sounded again. "I wouldn't mind collaborating with the Suttons, but if marriage is part of the deal, then it's off the table.""Do you really think you're all grown up now, Ian Holcomb? How dare you speak to me in that tone?" Leo was furious. "A real man should seize every opportunity to expand the family business. Indulging in romantic relationships will lead you nowhere!""So, you want me to expand our family business through marriage?" Ian said coldly. "Don't you find it disgraceful to use marriage as a weapon?""Watch your mouth!" Leo snarled. "I'm your father, Ian. How could you disrespect me like this? I've turn

Ian's forehead creased when he heard the housekeeper address Sage as "Ms. Joyner." However, no one knew what was on his mind, and the housekeepers simply looked in the direction of the study anxiously.He pursed his lips and asked Sage, "Are you okay?"Sage freed herself from his embrace, straightened up, and nodded. "I'm fine."His heart sank as the warmth and softness of her body were gone from his embrace. But he didn't let it show on his face as he said, "Let's go."Downstairs, Matilda and Linda had also heard the commotion and had gathered at the foot of the stairs. "What happened, Ian?" Linda asked. "I thought your father wanted to talk to you about work. How did it turn into a fight?"Not wanting to worry his grandmother, Ian simply responded, "We had a disagreement and argued a bit."Matilda, on the other hand, looked at him with concern. "Are you alright?""Yeah," Ian responded, slightly unwell. "I'll take Sage home first. Let's talk about this later.""Don't bother.
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 731
Ignoring his expression, Sage responded apathetically, "The Suttons must be satisfied with you to agree to the marriage. Your father is also satisfied with Ms. Sutton. A marriage that is supported by both your families is a good thing.""Do you seriously think the Suttons are good, or do you just want to get rid of me so I won't pester you anymore?" Ian asked lowly. Sage simply said, "A little bit of both, I guess."When he heard that, his eyes noticeably dimmed. "Are you that afraid that I'll affect your relationship with Shane?"As soon as he brought up Shane, she was well aware that this conversation would inevitably lead to an argument. Sage was tired enough that day and didn't want to argue with Ian."I'm heading upstairs," she said coldly. Then, she walked into the lobby without sparing him another glance. Ian didn't move a muscle as he watched her slender figure disappear. In the past, Sage would rush to Holcomb Corporation as soon as she learned that someone wanted to g

Sage added, "If you're free on Saturday, you could come with me.""Of course, I'll be free!" Shane responded eagerly. "I'll wrap things up here and head back to Haldon right away."Sage was rendered speechless. After ending the call with Shane, she called Tiana to make dinner plans. However, Tiana told her she had something to take care of and wouldn't be able to join her. Sage had no choice but to dine alone.Tiana did have something to take care of because Larry had called her and asked her to go to Wendy's ward as they had something to discuss with her. "I've already said everything that needed to be said before the divorce. I don't have time to listen to you two anymore," she declined.Yet, he brought up the management of Heartstone Hospital, saying he was worried about Wilson running back and forth between the two hospitals. Management offered to transfer Wendy to Heartstone Hospital.Tiana understood what he was getting at. Either she went to visit them or they would tra
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 733
After listening to Wendy's demands, Tiana scoffed. "Mr. and Mrs. Tate, are you guys deaf? Or am I not making myself clear enough?" She continued, "I will never get back together with Wilson, and I will never marry into your family again! Also, all those demands of yours? I won't be following any of it! You should save them for someone else!""How dare you!" Wendy's face twisted in anger. Ever since her first confrontation with Tiana, she had never been able to come out on top, and the simmering anger within her had never subsided.Even after Tiana and Wilson divorced, she still didn't have the upper hand. Not only did she get the stink eye from Tiana and her friends, but she even threatened her. Here she was, attempting to give Tiana another chance for her son's sake. Yet, Tiana dared to be so ungrateful!"Tiana Ford, with your conditions, you should be on your knees thanking your lucky stars that you were able to marry Wilson! How dare you talk to us so arrogantly?" Wendy fumed

Larry rushed over to help his wife up. Wilson couldn't just stand there and watch. He also hurried to his mother's side. "Wilson, let Tiana go…" Wendy said weakly."Mom—""Wilson, are you still going to break your mother's heart?" Larry interjected sternly.Wilson looked up to explain himself to Tiana, but she had already left. He knew he couldn't catch up to her, not just in terms of the physical distance between them but also the emotional chasm that had grown between their hearts……Meanwhile, Tiana walked out of the hospital. The sun had set, and the city lights were twinkling against the darkening sky. The apartment buildings across the street were adorned with warm, welcoming lights. Once upon a time, she, too, had hoped to find a warm, welcoming home among these countless twinkling lights. From the day she married Wilson, she had genuinely wanted to treat his parents as her own. Having lost her parents at a young age, she saw this as a way to fill the void in her 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
