Sage narrowed her eyes. "Are you two dating now?"Leah and Hunter were stunned and looked up at the same time!…"I'd checked, and Mister Wayne is living in Rosa Garden now," Yoel told Jace the latest information he received. After that, he took a puff from his cigarettes and continued, "Hey, do you think you need to reconsider it over again?"Jace had been pulling the all-nighter last night. There was a ring of black circles under his eyes. He, too, was smoking to re-energize. He looked at Yoel through the smoke and said with a hoarse voice, "Reconsider what?""That you are going to invite Grandpa Wayne to help Yuriel Jewel. Do you really think Sage will agree with it?"Jace was Yoel's brother from a different mother, so he did not want to see Jace pass away at such a young age. Yoel tried to talk Jace out of it. "You should know how much Sage protects her family. She would just ignore you if you tried to set her up. However, if you try to trick her grandpa, she will definitely
Jace looked at Wayne's energetic face and clear and illuminating eyes. He spoke very slowly, "Yuriel, Jace Yuriel."He did not have the intention to hide his true identity. He was there for a purpose, and eventually, he would have to tell Wayne about his identity, so hiding it did not make sense.Upon hearing the last name, Wayne slowly narrowed his eyes and said, "You are Simon Yuriel's grandson?"Jace nodded his head and answered, "Yes. To be exact, his daughter's son."Wayne raised his eyebrow and confirmed, "Freya's son?""Yes." Jace replied, "Freya Yuriel is my mother."The brightness in Wayne's eye increased and he smiled. "No wonder you look so familiar. Your eyebrows and eyes are almost identical to your mother and grandfather. As if it was directly copied and pasted onto your face."Jace also smiled and said, "I only knew about your relationship with my teacher and my grandfather when I called him. The Three Musketeers of Peach Garden, am I right?"Wayne laughed out lo
"Jace, please excuse me for a moment. I have some family matters to attend to." With that said, Wayne picked up a long wooden stick from the corner. He tried it on his hand and walked out of the workshop.Jace frowned, and no one could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his face.…At the CEO's office, Sage officially took over the position of chairman of the board soon after she kicked Braxton out. However, since she had just started, the Chairman's office had to be renovated so she could only work from the CEO's office.It was a sight to see the forever busy Hunter stay in the CEO's office for a long time without going out. The employees in the office started to speculate what could be the reason for that."Hunter had gone in for a long time, and he has not even come out once. Could there be another tricky project? Come on, please, I have only rested for two days."Louis was holding a pen with his right hand and a dumbbell with his left hand. He said without raising h
By the time Sage, Leah and Hunter arrived at the hospital, Wayne was already in the operating theater. Both Zamora and Mister Wando waited outside. When they saw Sage and Leah, they greeted them in a hurry, "Miss Sage, Miss Leah.""What's Grandpa's situation?" Sage and Leah asked at the same time.Zamora felt very guilty and said, "Mister Braxton pushed him, and he fainted after that. The doctor said he suffers from a cerebral hemorrhage…"Leah covered her mouth with her hands and her eyes reddened. Hunter immediately hugged her and comforted her, "Don't worry, Grandpa will definitely get through and be better. We can pray for him."Sage's face was dark as she asked, "So Braxton laid his hand on Grandpa?""It's my fault. I shouldn't have let him in…" Mister Wando blamed himself for what happened.Zamora regretted it as they had never thought Braxton would be so daring to hurt Wayne, his own father. It was so outrageous.As soon as Braxton entered Rosa Garden, he kept on scolding
After that, the doctor gave some advice since Wayne was already in his senior years, and his blood vessels were brittle. He would need to avoid overeating, avoid experiencing dramatic changes in his emotions, and lastly, he was not allowed to get mad. Sage and the rest of the people listened carefully and nodded to show they understood."Grandpa…"After the surgery, Wayne was still very weak. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Sage, who was sitting beside his bed. His lips trembled, "It's a tragedy for our family, for me to have such as… a son…" Leah cried out loud, "Grandpa!"Sage held Wayne's hand and showed him a smile to comfort him. "Grandpa, don't worry. I'm here. No one can hurt you."After putting Wayne to sleep, the smile on her face disappeared immediately once she was out of the ward."Where is Braxton?"Hunter answered, "He is still in the hospital. He suffered quite a serious injury after being kicked by Mister Jace. His old wound has not healed yet, and now his tai
Wayne was required to stay in the hospital for observation. He also needed to rest for a period of time to avoid complications from happening. Zamora picked two maids with nursing experience from Rosa Garden to take care of Wayne. Sage was still worried and wanted to work from the hospital so she could stay with Wayne. However, Wayne drove her away."I'm not paralyzed. Go do your job!"Leah volunteered to accompany Wayne since she could draw anywhere and her time was more flexible. With guidance from Wayne, she might be able to generate more inspiration.In the end, Hunter showed Sage her weekly schedule."It's true that you don't have that much free time to stay in the hospital. You still need to travel to Brown City this week. There's an operation waiting for you."Despite that, Sage was still worried. She tried to postpone her appointments and headed toward the hospital once she had the time. Sick people were always the weakest and loneliest. Wayne had three sons. They were eit
Even if Zane managed to migrate, he would not survive long without any money. The only way he could get money was to beg on the street like a beggar. In conclusion, Zane's future rested in Sage's hands. Same as Braxton, Sage would not let Zane die so easily.…As Sage pushed open the door of the ward, she put on a cheerful smile on her face and called out sweetly, "Grandpa!"When she saw the two people in the ward, her smile froze. Yoel was sitting beside the bed with his leg crossed and peeling a pear. He greeted with a casual, "Hey!"Sage was speechless. Her face sunk, and she took out an apple from the fruit basket and threw it at him. He caught the apple precisely with the knife as it pierced right through the apple. Followingly, he took a big bite of the apple without washing it. After that, he gave Sage a big smile and passed the peeled pear to Wayne. "Here you go, Grandpa. I took the liberty to answer Sage for you."Wayne accepted the pear with a smile."Why are both of yo
Wayne was very direct with his question. It was like he had already prepared his popcorn and sat tight to watch a movie. Leah and Hunter were both the same as Wayne as they sat side by side in the window. Both of them agreed that the scene looked exactly like in the movie when the king is hosting an event for the princess to choose her husband. Once the princess made up her mind on her selection, the person would become the prince consort.Jace and Yoel both looked at each other and then stared at Sage, anticipating her choice. Both of them were hoping to be chosen by Sage and, at the same time, worried that Sage would choose the other.The room became tense. With everyone looking, Sage pointed at Yoel without any expression on her face and said to Wayne, "This, is not something good."Wayne was out of words. After that, Sage pointed at Jace, "This, is not a thing at all."Wayne was stunned for a bit and amused with Sage's comment.At first, Yoel wanted to speak for himself, but a
