Nigel and Sage rushed to the hospital. Upon arriving at the door, they saw the nurse walking out of the ward with Lulu, who was covered in blood.She was injured by sharp objects in many places, including her back, calf, and ankle. Her white T-shirt was stained with blood. The glass fragments stuck on her calf looked appalling. Nigel’s usually warmed face changed greatly. He took a few steps forward and asked, "What’s wrong? What happened to her?" Sage furrowed her brows tightly and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and send her to the emergency room."The ward was a mess. The side lamp, bowls, and vase shards were all blood-stained. Asher was also injured, but not as badly as Lulu.The nurse explained to them. It was Lulu who rushed over in time and stopped Asher. She hugged him, but as a result, she was crushed to the floor and was injured all over.There was a loud quarrel in the morning. A loud crash followed after that. No one knew what was going on.Sage was angry seeing Lu
Asher's current situation was almost the same as Jace’s situation before. Back then, Jace had a period of extreme impatience. He was filled with anger and treated everyone as enemies.The closest ones would be the ones who would be hurt most.Sage thought that things would turn better after hard days that were finally over. Who knew that it was the beginning of the worst. There was nothing but darkness after the hardest days.Sage was about to say something with an icy face. Then, a soft voice came from behind her."If he tries to move impatiently in the future, tie him up and don’t spoil him. He’s a strong man. You should rather hurt him than yourself."Sage turned back and saw Jace’s indifferent face. As their eyes met, Sage’s face turned icier. Then, she looked away, took off her medical gloves, and went to the bathroom to wash her hands.Looking at Lulu's injuries, Jace’s eyes turned a little gloomy."Asher is worried about you and told me to check on you."The girl who alm
When Sage came out from the ward, she saw Jace sitting on the bench outside the ward. He was holding a thin cigarette in his hand, but it was not lit.He sat there with a stiff expression like he almost froze there.The door to the ward was not closed earlier. Perhaps, he had overheard her conversation with Lulu. Then, he must have overheard the four words she said. The two looked at each other. In just a split second, Sage moved her gaze and marched straight forward. Jace squeezed the cigarette and trembled a little. His throat felt dry.He could only blame himself, so he shut his eyes and cursed himself.… Sage headed to Asher's ward. She could hear Yoel yelling at Asher even from a distance."Hey, tell me. What are you doing? Are you an idiot? Did you lose your mind?"Do you think your injury isn’t serious enough? Do you want to hurt yourself again? If you don’t want to live anymore, tell me. I’ll kill you and cut your neck at once. I will guarantee you a quick and easy
Sage’s tone did not change as she emphasized the important points."Asher, listen. If you don’t want to stay with Lulu, break up with her properly. Don’t keep changing the way you treat her. Are you a chameleon?"That child is sensitive, especially when she’s so in love with you. Your actions and emotions will affect her easily. You don’t have to love her, but you can’t hurt her. Understand?" Yoel was stunned for a moment. Meanwhile, Asher lowered his head and was lost in his thoughts.Sage spoke too much and was a little tired as she waved her hand. "Forget it. I should mind my own business, so just do what you like. However, you’re my patient, and I still have the final say on your health."She threatened coldly, "If this happens again, you can expect to die. I put so much effort into treating you. Are you going to take it lightly?"Asher was lost for words.Sage left immediately after she gave him a warning. Yoel gulped and said to Asher, "Don’t take her for granted. She’s
It was already evening when Sage got off the plane. There was a twilight and the sky was rather bright.Sage slept on the whole journey home. When she disembarked the plane, it was already evening. The twilight was dazzling. She stretched her stiff neck and listened to Hunter talking on the phone with Leah behind her in a gentle tone. “Have you completed the discharge procedure? My dear Leah, you’re so capable… Yeah. We’ve got off the plane. We’ll go to the hospital directly to pick you up… Do you miss me? I miss you, too…"They were so lovey-dovey that Sage could not bear to listen to them.Sage witnessed Nigel and Sean’s loving moments in Brown City. Since she returned to Salem City, she had to watch her assistant and cousin flirt with each other.The lonely and single Sage felt tired watching all those lovebirds.Hunter hung up the phone and hurried forward to tell Sage a few words about Wayne’s situation."Leah said that Grandpa Wayne is recovering well. Jim goes to the h
Sage glanced at him. "Are you not planning to accumulate your wealth and marry Leah soon? Don’t say I haven’t given you a chance. If you want to be my in-law, you have to be more than just an assistant.""I understand. Haven’t you noticed that I’ve been working very hard recently?"Hunter followed Sage and continued, "I’ve just gotten into a relationship with Leah. Are you willing to see us separate right after we start dating?"Sage glanced at him, "I’m not trying to separate you. Besides, Norah Jewel will be opening a branch in North City. Ada will be going over and taking the lead. I plan to transfer Leah there, too."Hunter tried to curry favor with Sage and praised her with flattery. "Oh, so you've got everything planned. You’re so thoughtful, Sage. Thank you!"Sage glared at him. "Tsk. Stop it."Hunter must have learned that from Yoel. Sage simply blamed Yoel for it.They walked out of the airport and unexpectedly met a group of unwelcome people. Lucas, Luna, and Sienna
Sage’s sarcasm made Sienna burn in anger.Sienna always assumed that she could easily pester Sage as she liked. Perhaps it was because of her first impression of Sage.Since Sage gave off the impression of a friendly and soft person during their first meeting, Sienna never learned her lesson.Even Luna was furious at Sage. She cursed, "Heh! She’s from the Norah family, but she’s so rude! It's no wonder Jace divorced and disowned her."The last part was directed at Lucas. Lucas did not answer her. Instead, he said solemnly, "Don’t fight Sage again. You won’t beat her."Then, he pulled his arm away from Luna’s hand and got into the car first. Luna stared at Lucas’s back and felt a little lost. Somehow, she felt uneasy.It was not the first time he had pushed her away. She wondered if she was getting too old for him. Somehow, it felt harder to keep his love…"Luna, what did Uncle Spencer say? Why can’t we beat Sage? If you didn’t stop me earlier, I would’ve given her a slap!"
Sienna’s father, Dane Zelda, hoped to bring the family back to its glory through a marriage of convenience. He pinned all his hope on his sister Luna and his daughter Sienna.He raised them to be elegant and gracious. The girls studied various courses for noble and cultivated artistic sentiments since their childhood. Unfortunately, he forgot to teach them the necessary ethics and virtues to be good people. As a result, he raised them to become two superficial women.Luna and Sienna were prime examples of someone beautiful yet superficial.As everyone knew, marrying such a woman would only worsen the family's reputation.…Sage went to the hospital to bring Wayne home. From a distance, she could see Leah seated on the long bench near the ward, as if she was in a daze.When Leah saw Sage, she hurriedly wiped her eyes and stood up to greet her. "Sage, welcome back."Then, she moved her gaze to Hunter and greeted him with a smile. "Hunter."Hunter smiled, but his face turned dark
