”Thank you, Doctor. Thank you for everything,” said Yale’s father.Yale’s father was a handsome, mixed-blood individual. His English was not the best but he spoke slowly and deliberately.“Captain Yale also saved my life once, this is the bare minimum I could do to repay my debt towards him,” said Sage.Before Sage could say anything else, her phone rang. Sage quickly excused herself and went out of the ward to pick up her phone.“The Yuriel Brothers are here,” reported ZamoraSage could hear Zachary on the other end of the phone.“I’m coming back,” said Sage.Tim walked out of the ward too. “Are you going?”“Yes, the Yuriel Brothers are here,” replied Sage.Sage took a look at Yale who laid on the bed with the breathing apparatus strapped to his face, the only sign that he was still alive was the periodic noise of the apparatus.Sage could not help but feel ridden with guilt.Tim turned Sage’s face away from the glass and said, “It’s not your fault, there’s no need to feel
When Sage entered, Henry and Zachary both got up on their feet."Sage!" Zachary dashed toward sage, "you're back! I miss you so much!""It was just only a few days since you last saw me," Sage used a finger to stop Zachary who dashed over and looked at Henry again, "your dad asked you two to come here?"Henry and Zachary both nodded their heads in unison and obediently."Since you're here, just enjoy yourself. I will be responsible for your accommodation and food. Other than that, there will be no further discussion."Sage shattered any hopes that Henry and Zachary had in their mind with one sentence. "Zamora, tidy up two rooms for our guests."Henry and Zachary looked at each other. 'Mission failed. Gotta inform dad now.'Since Henry and Zachary failed, Flynn and Felipe could only go to seek ideas from Freya after the situation in the Yuriel Group became worst.After Jace passed away, Freya did not go out for a long time. She stayed in her garden most of the time. Since she st
Finally, Freya lifted her hand when Grandma Yuriel came over. The three of them greeted their mother. Aunt Wendy went to get a chair for Grandma Yuriel to sit on.As Grandma Yuriel sat down, she glared at her sons, "Both of you are younger than me but why are your thoughts so traditional?"Flynn and Felipe stood with their hands beside their body while looking very wrong."You said that you aren't willing to accept Sage. Then have you thought about if Sage is willing to come here to help us and Yuriel Group?"Unlike her sons, Grandma Yuriel was well aware of the situation and the best choice, "I'm going to be straightforward. If Sage was a Yuriel, then Simon and I'd pass the Yuriel Group to her and not the both of you. Although she is a Norah, Simon, Freya, and I treated her like our own family. It doesn't take blood to maintain a family. We have to treat each other sincerely with our hearts to maintain a relationship. When Jace decided on his will, he already expected this to happ
After deciding on a restaurant, Finn brought Sage there and ordered a few appetizers for her."You should eat more. Look at how thin you are, the wind can blow you away like a balloon." Finn acted more like Sage's brother instead of a subordinate now.Lately, Sage lost her appetite. Everything was tasteless to her. It was like there was a blockage in her throat and she needed to chew for a long time before swallowing. That was why she took a long time to finish her food. Finn just waited by the side quietly without urging her.He placed a glass of water on her left side and was always ready to pass her the napkins. His service was excellent. Looking at how hin Sage was, Finn's heart ached for her.During these few days, he regretted it after he took it upon himself to tell Jace that Sage had a crush on him for ten years and that Sage was the girl who saved him. If it was not for his blabbermouth, then Sage and Jace could have ended earlier and there would not be any of the repercus
Luther got off from the car and swung his car keys around his finger. He asked purposely with mockery, "Are you feeling embarrassed?"With straight faces, Flynn and Felipe had the desire to return home. In the end, they put on their thick skin and followed Luther into Rosa Garden.However, Wayne treated Flynn and Felipe differently from the way he treated Henry and Zachary. He gave them the silent treatment when he saw Flynn and Felipe come in thru the door and walked away immediately without hearing a word from them. He rather went back to his study room to admire The Starry Night than listen to Flynn and Felipe bicker.In the end, Flynn and Felipe had no choice but to wait for Sage to return. By the time Sage returned home, it was already late at night. They were treated very well in Rosa Garden. The maid served food and drink to them and took care of them.Flynn and Felipe sat on the couch while drinking the freshly brewed tea. The tea helped to freshen their minds and was very
The anger in Sage's eyes scared Flynn and froze him up. Felipe nudged his second brother and approached Sage with an apologetical smile, saying, "Sage, don't be angry. We don't mean to moral blackmail you. We just hope you would consider executing Jace's will.""I won't consider it." Her face was emotionless from the start as she continued, "I'm not his wife and do not have the authority.""Zamora, escort the guest out," Sage said. Without any further words, she went upstairs.After getting the cold shoulder, Flynn and Felipe failed to accomplish their mission and even offended Sage. Their faces looked very terrible.Zachary furrowed his brows with dissatisfaction, "Uncle Flynn, what you said was just terrible. I would be angry too if I were Sage. Is that the way to talk when you are begging someone?""I…" Flynn lost his tongue."Zachary's right. Dad, Sage is never in debt to our family. Even when Jace left so many things to her in his will, she never wants anything. It was the b
This was another shocking piece of news for Sage to find out that the artist actually needed five years to complete the painting. It was no wonder that the painting gave an impression of time passing as if many centuries had passed. However, the artist was just 15 years old when he completed the painting. That meant that he was just a teenager."What's his name? Where is he? Is he still painting?" Sage asked.The act of imitating was different from creating one's own art. It was not a glamorous occupation, and most people could never understand the reason behind it. Most imitation artists preferred to stay low-key and often did not like to disclose their names and occupation to other people.Nevertheless, it did not stop Sage from being curious and eager to want to know this teenager that was able to imitate such a legendary piece of art.With a pair of sorrowful eyes, Wayne stared at Sage with a regretful expression, "He… he's passed away."'Passed away?' Sage squinted her eyes a
The Yuriel family called for a family meeting and requested every family member to attend. Henry and Zachary took the first stand and talked about their experiences in Salem City for the last two days they were there. They even mentioned the attitude Mister Wayne had about continuing on being in charge of the Forget Me Not project."Obviously, Grandpa Wayne was still mad about it. But I asked Grandpa Mendoza and he said he used all kinds of methods to get him to agree. I think there's still hope." Henry built up everyone's confidence with the last statement.Zachary replied, "There's something I must reiterate. Rosa Garden is really very beautiful and she is rich. She doesn't even care about the small amount of money from our house."He said excitingly and tilted his head in Flynn and Felipe's direction, "So, we should not gauge the heart of a gentleman with one's own mean measure."Flynn’s and Felipe's faces turned green, and they both spoke in unison, "What do you mean by that?"
