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
These fans of Dean must have waited for her to leave the hospital and followed her all the way to teach her a lesson. Sage felt a headache as she looked at the eggs and tomatoes on the windows of her car. Not only did they scold her on the internet, they had to do this, too. Were they not afraid of being caught by the cops?They should have waited it out for a few more days. Things would take a huge turn by then. However, they could not wait to seek justice on behalf of their Dean.Sage did let the news out herself. Hunter compressed his lips, and his head still ached from bumping on the glass. He said, “Miss Sage, why do I feel like somehow we did this to ourselves?” Sage uttered, “Shut up!” She turned to the driver and said, “Can we drive out of here?” The driver nearly hit someone as they came out of nowhere. He barely calmed down, “They’re too close to the car. It’s too dangerous to drive out now. We’ll get into trouble if they fake a road crash and ask us for compensation.
Jim turned to give her a comforting smile and uttered, “They won’t hurt me, I’m Dean’s brother after all.” He broke free of Sage’s hold and quickly closed the car door.As he got out of the car, he got hit by the eggs and tomatoes. The cold and slimy concoction ran down from his head and down to his cheeks and neck.He was unfazed though as he yelled, “Everyone, I’m Dean’s brother, listen to me—” The crowd went a little quieter as they heard he was Dean’s brother.Jim said loudly and clearly, “I understand you’re worried about my brother, but please think logically and don’t make assumptions before things are clear. Please don’t break the law! You’re only affecting my brother and putting pressure on him. You have to put trust in Miss Sage. She won’t treat my brother poorly.”Despite his speech, the agitated fans did not buy what he said. “Are you Dean’s brother? Why are you helping that capitalist evil woman? Did she pay you to say so? Go to hell! Dean doesn’t need a brother li
Jace was struck, and he felt like his brain was about to explode. He felt such an immense wave of pain that he blacked out.Jace leaned against Sage’s body and he did not regain his consciousness.Hunter was just beside Jace and saw the pebble hit the back of Jace’s head. The pebble almost broke his head and Hunter was startled. Hunter scowled at the protestors angrily, “Are you guys trying to kill him? Be prepared to be locked up in the cell for the rest of your lives!”'What do they think they're doing?'Then, as the crowd was stunned, a loud siren was heard from the back. Someone yelled among the crowd, “Run, the cops are here!”The annoying protestors fled all of a sudden. Some of them were surrounded and handcuffed by the cops. It was chaotic.Sage felt uneasy being held by Jace. She pushed him away lightly. When she turned her head, she met Jace’s eyes with somewhat confusion. He shook his head slowly as if to relieve the pain.“Are… you alright?” Sage asked as she compres
Jim did not answer Jace’s questions, but he added, “So, you’re the ex-husband, Jace.”Jace was dumbfounded. “Who you calling Jace?” Sage walked over in time and patted Jim’s back, “I’m not close to him,” and turned to Jace and said, “sorry, my kid is over-friendly with everyone.”Kid? Did she just refer to this young man as a kid?Jace looked at Sage’s usual unfazed eyes in contrast to this young man’s friendly attitude, he felt an ache in his heart and he looked down, “It’s not a big deal.”Silence filled the room. Zayne walked over and broke the awkward silence, “Mr. Jace, we have to leave now before it’s getting too late.”Hunter reminded Sage as well, “Miss Sage, we have to go too.” Jace huffed on his cigarette and let out a slight cough. Zayne immediately understood and looked at Sage with a smile, “Miss Sage, your car has been sent to the maintenance workshop, it’ll take some time to get fixed. We’ll be glad to send you back to the airport.”Sage kept quiet. Hunter observed
