Sage fell ill after dealing with Finn's funeral and sending Nigel and Sean off.

It started as a slight cold on a rainy night. Sage thought it was not serious and that she would get better after taking medicine. She did not expect a high fever which went on for days and almost led to pneumonia.

Jace was so worried and stayed by Sage's side the whole time.

Soon, Freya and Roy also came to Salem City to visit. If the family had not stopped Grandpa and Grandma Yuriel, they would have come to Salem City.

"So many things have happened in such a short time. It must be hard for her."

Freya looked at Sage lying on the bed. She was distressed to see the pale Sage. She also reprimanded her son for not taking care of Sage well.

Jace dropped his head and listened to his mother's lecture obediently. He also blamed himself deeply.

If he could, he would rather be ill instead of Sage. He would rather suffer himself than let Sage suffer.

Primrose defended Jace, "This isn't Jace's fault. He ha

    Everyone was rendered speechless by the couple's affectionate exchange. After staring for a while, they felt a little annoyed.Luther was the first to hiss. "Fine, fine. We shouldn't stand in the way and disturb the couple. Time to get some food for the lady. Let's go."After that, everyone exited the room and gave them some space. Before leaving, Sawyer urged Jace to take Sage's temperature again to see if her fever had subsided, which Jace did.Jace first used the electronic thermometer to read Sage's temperature. Sage still had a low fever of 37.1 celsius. Jace was still worried, so he took the mercury thermometer to take her temperature again. He shook the temperature and gave it to Sage. "Here. Put it under your armpit."Sage obediently put it under her armpit and looked at him intently.Jace reached out to Sage's head and felt a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. He used a clean towel to wipe it off."You're starting to sweat. That means the fever is going down. Are you t

    At last, Sage could relax with her fever finally gone. As soon as she recovered, she was ready to return to work. However, the whole family shouted and stopped her."What the hell are you talking about? Do you really think that the world can't go on without you? Kyle and Hunter will handle the company. Your dad's still here too! He can help!"Primrose used to scream about retiring and enjoying life with Sawyer, but she finally gave in for a while and dragged her husband out to work. Sage was naturally happy to have her father back at the company.Sage was not allowed to do anything, so she stayed in her room and arranged flowers. She also made dried flowers out of the wilting flower. Her family and friends gave her so many flowers during their visit. She could not let them go to waste. Lulu was still in Salem City and had not left. She came to visit Sage almost every day while Sage was still sick. Half of the flowers in the room were from her.Lulu was not the only one who did th

    Shanie originally thought that Suki's status and treatment in the Norah family would not be as good as it was said to be. After all, it was not uncommon for actresses to marry into wealthy families. However, it was rare to see many of them who had a good life in their marriage. Besides, Suki's reputation in the entertainment industry before was not as good. Prestigious families usually shy away from women with such a history. Shanie thought that way because of what she had seen before. It was not prejudiced against Suki.In Shanie's opinion, she would rather be a dazzling actress rather than a humble daughter-in-law of a wealthy family. At least she would be able to live a life in style and beauty.Despite her opinion, what she saw, in reality, was different from her expectation. Suki received the same treatment as Laura in the family. The Norah family treated Suki no differently and still respected and loved her as a family. Regardless of the baby in her belly, the Norah family

    A black car stopped in front of Rosa Garden.The car window was opened slightly. The man in the back seat was dressed casually and had a cigarette between his fingertips. He smoked slowly and occasionally stuck his cigarette out of the window to flick the ash. He glanced in the direction of Rosa Garden with a calm and indifferent gaze.The driver accompanied him in a short silence. After that, he could not help asking, "Sir, should we go down to see?"Peter said indifferently, "No need."The driver fell silent. Although Peter said no, he continued to look at Rosa Garden with a deep and eager gaze. The driver held back for a while, but he gave up a little while later. "Sir, please allow me to say something. You just fought with Miss Hill. With her temper, she may not be willing to come out to meet you. You're already here anyway. Why don't you just go and get her? Miss Hill has her own little temper, but she's understanding. Besides, you're already in the Norah family's territory.

    Peter's brown eyes were beautiful and the most outstanding part of his features. His eyes were deep and mesmerizing, yet cold enough to make others feel suffocated. Primrose felt strangely uncomfortable looking at his eyes. Peter's eyes reminded her of a snake. He seemed cold-blooded.Peter got out of the car and stood in front of Primrose. He met her gaze without averting his eyes and greeted her plainly. "Missus Norah, nice to meet you."His tone was low and flat.Primrose continued staring at him without responding."Nice to meet you, Mister Walter," Sawyer greeted. He came out after Primrose, extended his hand, and shook Peter's hand. Meanwhile, he quietly nudged Primrose without a word.Primrose then returned to her senses and stopped staring at him. It was indeed rude to keep staring at a stranger."Mister Walter, I've heard so much about you," Primrose greeted.Primrose had a polite smile on her face and asked, "You're here to pick up Shanie, aren't you? Why don't you c

    Primrose finally acted like a mother for once in the outsider's presence. She thanked Peter personally for helping Sage clear her name.Peter, however, refused to take credit. He said indifferently, "Justice will prevail. This is just the duty of public security. You're welcome."As he spoke, he looked at Primrose quietly. Primrose was once again lost in thought. For the first time, she felt like she was going to be crazy if she went on like this."Peter, have we met somewhere before?"Primrose had always been a straightforward person. She would voice her doubts directly rather than overthinking.Everyone, including Peter and Shanie, turned their heads to Primrose at her sudden question.Sage and Jace exchanged a glance quietly.It would have sounded like a lame pick-up line from someone else, but it was just weird coming from Primrose.Peter remained calm as ever, as if nothing could evoke the slightest emotion in him.He asked, "Have we?"Primrose said, "You seem very famil

    Primrose's coldness was clearly directed at Peter.Shanie's heart pounded restlessly for no reason. She quietly clutched Peter's hand tightly.Peter was calm throughout the whole conversation. He turned around slightly and asked Primrose, "Missus Norah, is there anything else?"Primrose moved closer to him, closing the safe distance between them.

"Peter Walter."Primrose suddenly called out to him and questioned strangely, "Are you really Peter?"Her unreserved tone and question shocked everyone.The hall fell into a dead silence.Everyone seemed shocked.

    Primrose hugged a rabbit-shaped doll and sat on the sofa. She was playing with the two rabbit ears and pulling them.When she peeked over, she saw Sawyer, Tim, Sage, and Jace standing in front of her like four mountains. Their leering eyes were on her.The four of them looked like they were putting her on trial. Primrose muttered, "What's wrong? Why are you guys making such a fuss? Who are you trying to scare?"Tim was the first to speak. "Tell us," he said.Primrose played dumb. "Tell what?""About you and Peter."Sage narrowed her eyes. "You'd better be honest with us! No lying!"Primrose took on a defensive stance. "Hey. How dare you interrogate your mother? How dare you? Do you think I won't teach you a lesson for this later?"Jace helped Sage at the right time. "Aunt Primrose, there are no outsiders here. Just be honest."Primrose was rendered speechless. She looked over at Jace with displeasure. "Why are you acting like this too?"Tim, Sage, and Jace were unmoved. They

Ah…"Sage squinted as she saw the terrible dark circles under her eyes. She turned around in anger and bumped Jace's head.Jace was caught off guard and felt dizzy from the impact. He rubbed his head. "Dear, aren't you hurting yourself by doing this…""Look at my dark circles. They're so ugly. How am I supposed to take pictures? Sage complained in anger.Jace squinted and rubbed his eyes. "Let me see. What's ugly?"He held Sage's face and observed it. "What's ugly? It's not ugly.

    Jace made Sage stay up all night. Sage was so sleepy that her eyes were closing."Sleep. I'll wake you up later."Jace leaned down and kissed her forehead. As he closed his eyes, he remembered something and sat up sharply."By the way, we have to wear white shirts for tomorrow's photo session. We haven't prepared the shirt…"Jace rolled over and jumped off the bed right after saying that. Sage could not stop him in time, so she turned on the lamp helplessly. She leaned over the bed and waited for Jace in silence.Shortly after, Jace came back with two shirts. His eyes were shining. "Dear, you've prepared for us?""Yeah." Sage nodded weakly. "I've got them ready. I've had Zamora iron them for me."Jace could finally put his mind at ease. "What about the documents and identifications…"Sage pulled open the drawer of the bedside table and took out the papers and documents she had prepared ahead. "It's all here."Sage looked at Jace. "Everything is ready. You've checked three time

    Sage spread out the notebook and looked at the blurred handwriting. She slowly read it out loud, "Step one, conquer her with sweet talking. Use sweeter and flirtatious words that would make people blush. Forget about modesty and shame in bed. It's best to whisper them into her ears…"Sage read the notes with a straight face, making Jace so embarrassed that he could hardly keep his feet on the ground.Jace strode forward with a stiff face and tried to snatch the notebook away. Sage was quick to dodge and continued reading with her head down."Step two, be aggressive at your offense. Focus and remember this, being rough yet gentle. You can use props such as blindfolds, ties, handcuffs, and so on…"Sage's face turned red while reading it. As the images popped into her mind, she had to stop reading.Jace was about to go crazy. He buried his face in his hands, unable to look up at Sage."Where did you learn all these?" Sage threw the notebook at Jace. "Rough yet gentle? Are you seriou

    "Is that so?" A trace of interest flashed in Jace's eyes.Sage did not understand, so she asked, "What does a small forward do?"Jace explained, "The small forwards are typically the tallest and most athletic of all players. They are responsible for scoring points and defending. The main goal of strong shooters is to score and create opportunities for teammates. In other cases, they would operate as off-ball specialists. They would wait for teammates to pass the ball, catch the ball, and shoot to score."Seeing Sage's confused look, Jace added, "James and Durant, for example, are playing as small forwards.""Oh!" Sage immediately understood after hearing the name of these famous basketball stars. Her eyes lit up. "Isn't that amazing?"Jace saw the sparkle in her eyes and found her really adorable.

Sage knew he would get back at her.She rolled over and lay on top of Jace. She played with his chest and said in a muffled voice, "I have a new nickname for you."Jace responded, "Hm?"Sage looked up at him. "Vengeance."Jace was stunned and soon broke into a peal of laughter.
