It was a good night’s sleep. Puffy was so obedient and did not bark at all.Sage was in a good mood the next morning. She felt refreshed eating Nigel’s homemade breakfast.Sean and Nigel did not hire a maid. The two were busy with work, so they had no time to do housework. They often hire a part-time cleaner to help. They did not have many belongings, so their place looked clean and tidy. It felt homely.There were two pillows on the large sofa in the living room, with Sean and Nigel’s cartoon figures printed on them. Sage gave the pair of pillows to them as a gift a few years ago. They kept it, and the color faded a bit after washing.Some photos of Sean and Nigel were displayed together on the TV stand. One was a cool photo of Sean in a suit and leather shoes, and the other was a photo of Nigel in a doctor’s white coat. At first glance, Sage could tell that someone had taken a candid photo of Nigel at home in his white coat.There were also intimate photos of the two together in
"Dr. Nigel," the girl greeted softly. She choked a little with sobs but greeted them with a weak smile.She did not stand up immediately. Instead, she turned her gaze to Sage and asked, "This must be the doctor you mentioned. Is she Dr. S, the expert you’re talking about?""Yes. Dr. S will be performing the surgery for Asher," Nigel said and introduced them.The girl stood up at last and extended her hand. " Dr. S, I’ll leave my boyfriend in your care." She was neither humble nor arrogant, but there was hope and pleading in her eyes.Sage shook her hand and said faintly, "Leave the surgery to me. Please remember that there will be a long rehabilitation process after a successful operation. That is the key to him standing again. I hope you can be mentally prepared.""I understand. I’m mentally prepared for everything."The girl said, "I believe he will stand up again. I will do my best to help him. I will accompany him no matter what."Sage was blinded by the light of determina
Yoel had heard of Dr. S before and admired her. After all, she saved Jace. He knew Jace was badly injured back then. All the bones in his body had almost shattered from the accident.Jace suffered all kinds of comminuted fractures, but the incredible Dr. S rejuvenated him piece by piece. Since then, Yoel regarded Dr. S as a god in his heart. More importantly, Dr. S was a lady! She was a goddess!However, he never expected that Sage would be his goddess, Dr. S! Was Sage truly the incredible Dr. S?! How was that possible?!Yoel thought Sage was just a little nurse who served by Jace’s side. Was he wrong?Even so, anything that happened to Sage no longer seemed to be a surprise.Sage, who was also the expert Dr. S, frowned heavily. She turned to Yoel with an annoyed look and said, "Why are you making such a fuss? Be quiet, you are in a hospital. If you scream again, I’ll have to kindly ask you to leave."Yoel quickly pursed his lips tightly and fell silent.Right. No one else dared
Sage agreed with a soft hum. Jace’s IQ was at rock bottom!Then, Nigel asked, "Who is the noisy one then?""Jace’s best friend, Yoel Fulton from Riverside City’s Fulton family."Nigel immediately understood. "Oh, he’s popular too."Sage snorted. "They are both idiots."Nigel could not help but laugh out loud.Meanwhile, back in the ward. As soon as Sage walked away, Yoel exploded in anger and questioned Jace gloomily, "You knew Sage was that Dr. S? Why didn’t you tell me!"Jace was distracted by his train of thoughts and absent-mindedly replied, "Isn’t it a great surprise for you?"’"How is it a surprise? It’s a huge shock!" When Yoel saw Sage earlier, that hit him like the biggest shock in his life. Yoel’s expression still showed a hint of disbelief."Sage turned out to be that great Dr. S! Did she operate on you three years ago? She saved you and stayed by your side to take care of you! She nursed you back to health! Isn’t she a blessing? Why did you divorce her?""What?"
Jace suddenly remembered what happened three years ago. He was on the highway when he heard about the Zelda family’s bad news. Then, he hurried from his branch office to Nadeem City.However, halfway through his journey, he received a breakup call from Sienna.She was crying. "Jace, I’m sorry. I love you, but I can’t be with you anymore because of the Zelda family. Please, tell Aunt Freya to let us go. Let’s break up."Sienna hung up the phone before he could speak. He tried to call her again, but she turned off her phone.He wanted to tell her that even if she wanted to break up, they should speak in person to respect each other.At that moment, his mother’s aggression and the breakup ruined his mood. He did not slow down when he reached the fork in the road. A truck suddenly appeared without slowing down and hit him directly.Bang!He was in a daze as his chaotic memories hit him. He saw his memories as a child. He saw his parents’ endless arguments, where his father slammed t
It was just as she said.‘My life has been smooth sailing for more than twenty years. My parents shower me with love, and my brothers are very protective of me. I’ve never suffered until now… You… You’re the biggest storm in my life."Jace suddenly felt a heavy feeling in the chest. It felt as if a big hand clenched his heart, making him gasp in pain. He could barely stand steadily, so he sat down again.It hurt as if someone had hit his head like he was in the boxing ring. He sat on the bench for a long time before he gradually recovered from his dizziness.Two nurses who happened to pass by noticed his pale face. They approached him and asked, "Mister, are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable? Do you need the doctor’s help?""No need. Thanks."Jace declined politely and stood up slowly to leave.The two nurses stared at his back as he left. One of the nurses said, "He seems lost and pale. Does he have a terminal illness?""He’s still young. How can that be? He looked like he w
Sage had not seen her in a long time, since Sienna was treated as a psychopath and was taken away from the Annual Rose Festival.Tim and Luther asked if she needed help to teach Sienna a lesson, but she declined politely and said, "No need."Seth and Nigel hated her. However, Sienna was only eyeing Jace. Jace was no good anymore, so there was no need to bother him. As for Sienna, she did not care as long as she did not bother her. She was sure that Sienna would be taught a lesson sooner or later.Sage never wanted to get into trouble with another woman. Unfortunately, a certain woman could not win over her man, so she could only seek trouble with her rival. Just as Sienna was about to lean on Jace, he dodged her hurriedly. He did not even look at Sienna and turned to Sage with a hint of panic in his usually calm eyes.He was afraid that Sage might misunderstand him. His disgusted and nervous look came into Sienna’s sight. When she saw Sage, her bright smile turned gloomy.Why wa
Surprisingly, Yoel was still around and did not leave. He swirled the wine glass in his hand and kindly asked her."Are you looking for Jace?" Sienna knew Yoel was a good friend of Jace. Yoel was a handsome man and came from a good family. Naturally, she would be more than willing to gain his favor. Sienna raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear and answered with a gentle hum. Then, she asked, "Yoel, do you know where Jace went?""I do." Yoel raised his beautiful eyes wickedly and provoked her, "Of course, he went somewhere far away from you, so you won't be able to ruin him.""You…" Sienna looked annoyed. Yoel put his index finger on his lips and hushed her. "Shh, don’t be so loud in public. Aren’t you from a prestigious family? Didn’t anyone teach you manners? It’s okay if you embarrass yourself, but don’t drag others in, okay?"He was insinuating that she was uneducated and had no manners. Sienna was so angry that she raised her hand. She wanted to slap Yoel, but h
