Without thinking too much about it, Sage put Queen back in the carrier and asked, "Did you need something from me?"Ian pulled out two tickets. "I heard from Grandpa that you like this band called Breezewind. They're performing in Haldon City tomorrow. Do you have time to go with me?"Seeing the ticket in Ian's hand, Sage felt a sudden surge of emotion that was somewhere between amused and bittersweet.She had bought tickets to Breezewind's performance in her previous life, too.At that time, she was jealous of Ivy and Ian's relationship. She frequently cried and pressured Ian for answers, which caused significant tension between them.When Breezewind came to perform in Haldon City, she hadn't seen Ian for several days and missed him a lot.During dinner with Linda at Holcomb Manor, she took the opportunity to apologize to him and invited him to watch the band's performance with her.Perhaps it was because Linda was present that he didn't turn her down.That evening, he even we
Shane said he had arrived downstairs. So, Sage went down quickly, and sure enough, Shane was waiting for her.He was dressed quite casually today, wearing a white hoodie paired with casual pants, looking even more handsome and charming.On the other hand, Sage also chose to wear a white T-shirt and jeans for convenience."Does this count as a couple wearing matching outfits?" Shane asked mischievously.Sage glanced at him. "Whatever makes you happy."The two bickered as they went to grab a bite nearby before heading to Haldon Gymnasium.On the way, Sage asked Shane about what happened between him and Simon last night.Shane replied nonchalantly, "It was the same old stuff. I ignored him, and when he realized there was no point, he left."Even though Shane spoke nonchalantly, Sage knew that Simon wouldn't be easily dismissed. Shane was likely to get a stern reprimand.She couldn't change Simon's opinion of her, nor could she persuade Shane to get rid of his feelings, so she had
Compared to Sage's love for music, what made Shane even happier was seeing Sage's joyful expression.While she was fully immersed in her singing and dancing, Shane took several photos of her.Even after the event ended, Sage felt reluctant to leave.Shane handed Sage a tissue and asked, "Are you hungry? There's a place that makes really delicious crab. Do you wanna go try it?"After singing for two or three hours, Sage was definitely feeling hungry. Just hearing the words "delicious crab" made her swallow involuntarily. She nodded enthusiastically and said, "Sure!"Afraid of the inconvenience caused by the crowds, Shane parked his car in the parking lot behind the gymnasium where there were fewer people.Under the night sky, the city's neon lights shimmered with a hazy glow.An old SUV came to a stop beneath a tree ahead, concealed in the shadows to avoid drawing attention to itself.Sage and Shane located their car and were just about to walk over when suddenly, bright headlig
Sage had no idea how much time passed when she woke up from the pain.She tried to move but was suddenly overwhelmed by dizziness and made a gagging noise.At that moment, two concerned voices reached her ears. "Sage!"Sage slowly opened her eyes and realized she seemed to be in a hospital room, with everything around her in white.In front of her stood Tiana and Giselle, who were looking at her with anxious expressions.Just as Sage was about to speak, she saw the bright sunlight outside and felt a wave of nausea rise in her stomach."Stay still. I'll go get the doctor!"While Giselle rushed outside, Tiana walked over to Sage's side and said urgently, "You're fine. The doctor will be here soon."Sage tightly closed her eyes. Her ears buzzed, and her back and arms hurt.The most unbearable pain was in her head and stomach. It felt like she'd spun around a thousand times. She felt incredibly dizzy and nauseous even without moving.Under such intense dizziness, she couldn't thi
"We must find him no matter where he is, even if we have to dig three feet deep!"At this moment, Ian's cold voice could be heard from the terrace.Why was Ian here?While Sage was feeling confused, Ian had already entered the room.He was wearing a black shirt, which was unusual for him since he usually dressed meticulously. He had left two or three buttons undone at the collar, and the shirt wasn't tucked into his dress pants.His face looked a bit haggard, and his lips were slightly pale."Sage, you're awake." Ian's voice sounded hoarser than usual, as if he wasn't feeling well.Even slight movements made Sage dizzy and nauseous. She closed her eyes for a moment and asked, "Why are you here? Where's Tiana?"Ian said, "Ms. Ford has been taking care of you all day, so I told her to go back and rest."Did Tiana tell Ian about her incident?Sage said through the headache and dizziness, "I don't want to trouble you. I'll just hire a caregiver."Ian didn’t argue with Sage and i
Upon hearing Sage's request, Ian's expression turned somewhat unclear. "It's late. You should rest first."Sage insisted, "Give me the phone, and I'll make the call myself.""Shane's brother has taken his phone, so even if you call, he won't be able to answer."Sage didn't say anything after that.The Morrison family already felt that she had caused a lot of trouble for Shane. Now that they had an accident right after a concert, the Morrison family would probably dislike her even more.It wasn't impossible that they would keep Shane's phone and prevent any contact between them.Even though it was inappropriate, Sage couldn't help but ask Ian, "Do you know how Shane is doing?"Ian slightly pursed his thin lips and said in a deep voice, "His brother is watching over him, so you don't need to worry."Sage asked again, "How did we end up in a car accident?"Ian simply explained, "Someone was driving drunk and collided with another car. You and Shane happened to be nearby and got c
In her past life, this was a scene Sage wouldn't even dare to dream of.She closed his eyes.…On the fourth day of hospitalization, Sage's dizziness finally lessened, and the wounds on her arm and back had improved significantly.However, the injury at the back of her head was still quite severe, and the bandage couldn't be removed yet.Shane hadn't contacted her in the past few days. Sage had a feeling that his situation might be more serious than her own.Given his personality, he would have checked in to let her know he was okay if things weren't too bad.When she asked Tiana about Shane, she was told Shane needed to rest, and Simon was looking after him. He shouldn't move around until he was fully recovered.Whenever Sage tried calling Shane, she would get a message that the phone was turned off.Was Simon the one who turned off Shane's phone to prevent people from contacting him?After giving it some thought, Sage decided to go see Shane.Even if Simon disapproved, she
All of Shane's close relatives had come.Sage's voice trembled even more. "Tiana, tell me honestly. What really happened to Shane and me that night?"If it were just an ordinary car accident, Shane wouldn't be so badly injured, and Ian wouldn't have placed bodyguards in the hospital hallway!Seeing the situation, Tiana realized they couldn't hide the truth any longer. She and Giselle helped Sage back to the hospital room and told her what had happened that night.As Sage listened to Tiana, some scenes in her previously muddled mind became clearer.In the critical moment when the SUV was about to hit her, Shane forcefully pushed her out of the way.He was hit and thrown to the ground, then collided with a concrete post. His blood stained his white clothes and hood red.Just as the SUV was about to hit them for the second time, a black car came and crashed it out of the way. Her ears were filled with all kinds of loud noises back then."I heard from Calvin that even though you tu
