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
The culprit was a seriously ill addict with not much time left to live. To enjoy his remaining days, he decided to take a risky gamble, tempted by the large sum of money.Ronald ordered that she and Shane, if not killed, should at least be left permanently disabled. So, after the initial crash, the culprit intended to hit them again.Sage was so filled with hatred that her nails dug into her palms when she clenched her fists, almost breaking skin.It was Ronald!Wasn't he intimidated by Ian's authority and had been keeping a low profile recently? Why would he suddenly try killing them?Tiana understood what Sage was thinking. "Ian found out from Ronald's former subordinates that Ronald harbors resentment toward you and Shane for acquiring Shekdotter Inc."Plus, Ivy had a miscarriage and had to have her uterus removed due to massive bleeding. Her life was hanging by a thread, and he might have blamed all of this on you."Hearing this, Sage held her throbbing head, and the guilt s
Shane was dressed in clean hospital clothes. The wound on his head had been treated and bandaged. Other than looking a bit pale, he seemed like he was just sleeping.How Sage wished that he really was just pretending to be asleep to mess with her.If she started to get anxious, he would immediately open his eyes and reveal that he was just playing a joke on her.But Shane didn't react at all even after she stood there for a while.Regret and self-blame weighed heavily on Sage’s heart, and her eyes grew even redder.Seeing that Sage could barely stand, Giselle brought her a chair and had her sit down at the side of the room.Sage, holding back tears, carefully held Shane's hand. She thought she had a lot to say, but as she looked at Shane's handsome face, she found herself unable to utter a single word.Shane ended up in this situation because of her. Even if the Morrison family didn't tell her to distance herself from him, she still wouldn't dare to get close to Shane again in t
Even though Sage's mind was blank at that moment, she could still sense the underlying fear in Ian's words.When Tiana arrived at the hospital room, she wasn't too surprised to see Ian holding Sage.She was the one who told Ian that Sage went to see Shane.Seeing Sage looking distraught, Tiana had her lie down on the hospital bed to rest.But Sage couldn't sleep. Her mind was filled with thoughts of Shane, who was unconscious.The words "vegetative state" weighed heavily on Sage's heart, making it difficult for her to even breathe.She couldn't imagine how devastated Shane's family would be if he ended up in a vegetative state. She also had no idea how she would face them in the future.Outside, the sky changed from bright to dark, and only then did Sage slowly close her eyes.…In the middle of the night, Sage woke up, not knowing what disturbed her sleep. Upon opening her eyes, she saw that sitting in the hospital room was not Ian, but Tiana and Calvin.Both of them looked
The scream came from one of the rooms ahead, and it sounded a bit like Ivy.When Calvin heard this, his face suddenly darkened as he rushed over. "Ian!"Sage furrowed her brows and inexplicably recalled the abandoned warehouse in Toledon, where Ivy had let out a similar scream. Soon after, Henry had an accident.Did Ivy pretend to go crazy and hurt Ian?Tiana understood what Sage was thinking and calmly said, "Calvin is overly concerned. Ivy was stabbed and just had surgery. There's no way she could be strong enough to injure Ian."You're still recovering, so take it slow."Sage didn't plan to run over. Considering Ivy was injured and knowing Ian's skills, she figured Ian wouldn't be injured by Ivy so easily.Moreover, even if Ian was injured, regardless of how fast she was, it wouldn't change anything.They were not far from the ward and arrived in less than a minute.When they arrived, Ian was indeed safe and sound inside.He stood tall, his presence imposing like a mountai
"If you need anything, just call for us. We'll be right outside the door," Tiana instructed.Sage nodded.Soon, everyone in the hospital room left, leaving only Sage and Ivy.When Sage locked the door, Ivy still looked terrified and panicked, shouting in distress, "Go away! Stay back!"Sage didn't rush to talk to her, but instead sat down in a chair and took a look around the room.The walls were painted a bright white. There are simple iron beds, a few coffee tables, and chairs. The ceiling was thoughtfully equipped with movable tracks for hanging IV drip bottles.After finishing looking around the room, Sage then turned her gaze toward Ivy.She coldly said, "Do you think pretending to be insane and being sent to a mental institution is better than serving time in prison?"Shane has found evidence that your previous psychological evaluation report was falsified. Once this evidence is submitted, a professional doctor will re-evaluate you. Do you think you can keep pretending th
Sage unhesitatingly plunged the shard of ceramic into her flesh as Ivy screamed.In her past life, Ivy was the one who caused Donald's death. In this life, Ivy had the audacity to curse her family again. Sage's hatred surged forth instantly.The fabric of Ivy's hospital gown was torn. The sharp edge of the ceramic shard cut her skin, causing crimson blood to seep out.Ivy finally realized why Sage had locked the door. It was to prevent anyone from coming in and stopping her."Sage, you've gone mad!" Ivy said in disbelief.Sage's expression was cold and stern. "Clearly, the mad one here is you!"Isn't it typical for someone with mental illness to engage in self-harm? I believe Ian will also help me prove that all your injuries were self-inflicted!"Ivy knew that Sage wasn't exaggerating. Nowadays, Ian wouldn't show any mercy toward her. Even if Sage were to kill her, Ian would definitely take Sage's side!The wound on her chest wasn't deep, but Ivy was in so much pain that she w
