Jace didn't scream it out loud, but it was clear enough that even the front desk staff and guests heard it. They raised their brows and were astounded at his words. They had heard of men gifting luxury bags, jewelry, and so on, but it was the first time they heard someone gifting a mansion in Salem City. After all, it was quite expensive to buy property in Salem City.Sage asked in an icy voice as she heard it, "Are you humiliating me?"Everyone was stunned at her words. Humiliated? If this was called humiliating, please humiliate them all! Everyone there was willing to accept all the humiliation Jace was willing to give!Jace frowned and said, "That wasn't my intention."Hunter looked at Sage's expression and knew she was about to lose it. She looked like she might even kill someone. He hurriedly took Sage away and said, "The elevator has arrived. Let's get in now…"Helena stood behind Jace as she watched Sage go up the elevator. She asked, "Mister Yuriel, I ask this out of cur
Hunter's heart skipped several beats, and he almost kneeled in front of Sage, "I'm so sorry, Miss Sage, I didn't do my job well. I'll go talk to the bodyguards right now! There won't be a next time!"Hunter was always sincere to admit his mistakes. Sage forgave him seeing as he went to get her honey, and most importantly, Leah liked him.Jace, on the other hand, was a pain in the neck for Sage. "Did he say he was going to buy me a mansion last night? Huh. What made him think that I would willingly stay in a house he bought? Do I look like I need a place to stay? What a joke!" thought Sage inwardly. As expected, Sage saw Jace and his staff again. Sage felt the need to explain once and for all so that he would stop disturbing her.Sage ignored Jace, grabbed Helena's arm, and said, "Helena, come to my car. Let's have a chat." Helena was overjoyed. After getting permission from Jace, she got into Sage's car happily.Sage's car was heading to Ark Mountains. She planned on going back
Jace froze for at least 30 seconds before processing everything. He tried to piece every detail, every suspicion, and every observation, and it finally came all together…Everything now made sense…No wonder he couldn't find any information from the hotel about Doctor S' stay. He thought maybe Sage wanted to hide Doctor S from him, and she did — she was hiding herself.Sage was Doctor S and Doctor S was Sage. Jace's pupils turned red from being aghast and angry at the same time. He curled up his fists as a reflex, and he was trembling all over. He felt a severe ache from his heart, and it was so painful that he bent down…"Mr. Yuriel, are you okay?" Zayne quickly helped him out.Jace's lips turned ghastly white. Sage lied to him again, and again, and again. Sage didn't care nor noticed Jace's reaction. She followed Jim to Dean's room to check on his leg. Looking at Jim's worried face, Sage said, "It's not a big issue. It's quite normal to feel pain after surgeries like these.
Sage walked out of Dean's ward and headed to the conference room to discuss about the paralyzed patient's case. As she walked out of the door, Jace stood frozen at the same location.He looked like he had just taken a beating. Sage glanced at him and looked away immediately. She did not want to care for him, so she headed her way. "Doctor S."He called her with a low and hoarse voice. He was even trembling a little as he spoke. Sage stopped walking. Oh, yes, she accidentally leaked her identity to him when she came here. Footsteps were heard behind her, and Jace walked slowly towards Sage and stood in front of her. His red eyes were staring intently at her.Jace looked ill. He slowly opened his mouth, and his voice asked dryly, "When were you planning to tell me the truth?" Sage looked up at him, expressionless.They were standing too close together. Sage was not used to it, so she took a step back to maintain a certain distance between them, just like he had done all those y
Jace left after acting weird and saying things Sage couldn't understand.Sage compressed her lips as she recalled his words.Was he really here to repay her kindness? Why did it sound like he was seeking vengeance instead?Sage genuinely thought that they shouldn't see each other anymore. She'd be the most grateful if he could keep his distance. Her day was always ruined every time Jace appeared.He was such an annoying idiot.Sage had a meeting at the head of the hospital's office with her team of medical professionals, so she did not think too much into everything. She texted Nigel right after the meeting as she was worried that he was busy. [I've gone through the patient's file. We can go ahead with the surgery.]Right when the message went through, she immediately received a video call request. She answered it, and a wild face appeared on her screen. Sage almost couldn't recognize the messy-haired, unshaved man with dark circles around his eyes. She frowned instantly, "
Sage looked doubtfully at Nigel, "Did you do this on purpose? Pretending to look pitiful so I would help you?"Nigel cared about his appearance as much as Luther, always trying to look his best at all times. Why would he ever show anyone his unkempt side? It didn't make sense to either of them.Now Sage knew that he was trying to use her…Nigel admitted and grinned, "You've always been a clever girl."Sage was speechless. All of her brothers, except for her eldest brother, were abnormal."Let's get into it," said Sage. She briefly explained the situation about the patient. "This patient possibly sustained some external injuries that hurt his spinal cord, or there may be a tumor pressing the spinal cord that might be causing him to be paralyzed from the waist down. Luckily, he isn't completely paralyzed yet and there is a cure. "I read his file and it said that he used to be in the special forces of the military, so he is quite fit.""Okay," Nigel said. "Not just that. I heard f
Sage saw Jim walking out of the ward with his backpack on when she was coming out of the office. He carefully closed the door behind and puffed with huge relief like he had just went through something difficult.Sage felt at ease when she saw him and called his name, "Jim." Jim turned his head and was met with a beautiful smile, "Miss Sage, are you done with your meeting?""Yes," Sage looked at his expressions, "What's going on?"Jim was stunned at Sage's wonderful observational skills. He pointed in the direction of the ward and signaled for them to walk away.They walked out together. Right when they reached the elevator, Jim admitted something, "My brother found out about my part-time job and I got a scolding from it."Sage gave him a look of disapproval before he quickly defended her. "Oh, I didn't tell him about you being my Grandmaster. I'll never spill your secrets without your permission."After finding out that Sage is a doctor, Dean might not be able to handle the fact
"Of course this is my wedding!"Yeva made it clear that her wedding should only be about her. She said, "You have to come! How can you not come to my wedding? But, please, forget about Julian. He's my man now.""Well. I never liked him anyway." It was rare that Sage was in the mood to banter with Yeva. "Do you want me to go or not? My presence might even ruin your day,” said she.Yeva became alerted and uttered, "What are you playing at?""Nothing," Sage was feeling irritated having to stand in the sun and speak to her. "No one will bat an eye in your direction if I'm around. I don't want to be the one stealing your limelight."Yeva lost her tongue. Her heart ached a little from what Sage said. Indeed, Sage had always been the prettiest one among the three of them. She was always the center of attention wherever she went, and Yeva never stopped being jealous about it. She always lived under Sage’s shadow.Yeva gulped and yelled, "Just dress uglily!"Sage scoffed at such an abs
