The car was quickly filled with a smell like urine.Holmes must wet himself from being threatened.***Holmes immediately lodged a report to the police saying that someone attempted to murder him.However, there were no obvious signs of injuries or bruises on his body and the CCTV at the parking lot was somehow broken. Hence, there was no evidence to prove that he was attacked.He had no choice but to suffer in silence.Holmes could not let it go and went straight to Yuriel's mansion. Counting on the fact that he was one of the seniors in the Yuriel Group, he demanded that Grandpa Yuriel speak out for him."I've already heard about it."Grandpa Yuriel went on calmly, "Holmes, I thought that you'd know better now since you've been working for us for quite some time. But why are you proving yourself to be less wise than both of my grandsons?"Holmes expected Grandpa Yuriel to comfort him but he was questioned instead."Sir, what are you trying to say?"Holmes could feel anger
It rained earlier and the roads were wet and the air was cold.Sage was dressed in a half-sleeved suit with a white blouse beneath, and on her wrist was a watch embellished with emerald green gemstones. She exuded charismatic and sophisticated vibes.As soon as Sage and Luther stepped foot into the health center, the employees at the Mostal greeted them politely.Sage nodded her head to return their greetings.They arrived at Yale's wardroom.There were not a lot of people in the room aside from Tim and Quest. Tim sat on the sofa with his legs crossed whereas Quest checked on Yale.Sage brought a bouquet of Calla Lilies that were in full bloom."Tim."Sage greeted Tim and turned to look at Yale who was on the bed.Yale had tubes all over his body and he looked pale and frail. He could not even open his eyes. His face was somewhat swollen too."Iceman, how're you doing?"Sage showed him the bouquet of Calla Lilies and greeted him.Yale turned his head slightly to look at her
Yale simply pulled into a smile.Was she hard to handle?Yale thought that it was not too bad.He even found Sage adorable.***"That's about it."Sage looked at the x-ray films and said, "Good. He's recovering better than I expected."She then asked, "What did your master say?"Quest replied, "Master said the same thing as you. Recovering doesn't take only one or two days. It's a marathon and we have to do it slowly. The patient also has to have a strong and positive mentality to go through this and he would need someone to take care of him."Sage looked conflicted."I can't free up a lot of time and I won't be able to keep him company during the physio sessions. Do you have anyone else in mind?"Quest replied, "I have several people in mind. Melody also wants to go to town. She's been complaining that there's nothing else to do at Mostal."Sage raised her brows. "Isn't Yoel here at Mostal? Why is there nothing else to do?""Because he left. And that is why Melody wants t
After taking an x-ray of Jim's leg, Sage concluded that his ligament was torn and there were no fractures of the bones.Sage applied some ointment onto the swollen part of his ankle and wrapped his ankle with a bandage.Jim's teammates stared at Jim as if he was a display piece in a museum."Damn, the cool kid isn't cool anymore.""The charming guy isn't charming anymore."Jim's teammates laughed away at Jim's misfortune.Jim could not be bothered about what they said. At least when he was around Sage, he wanted to maintain a good image of himself. If not, he would have given a good beating to the guys."Well, he's still charming."Sage went on, "Just that he wouldn't be able to move around freely for the time being. You'd need to rest. Don't end up like your brother."Jim looked at Sage, puzzled. "I thought my brother's leg recovered?""If it wasn't for me, would his leg have gotten better?"Sage glared at him and went on, "You better take good care of your leg. If not, I'l
His teammates immediately stop in their tracks.They wondered why Jim acted strange today.He was not being himself today.It was as if he was a ticking bomb."Get over here and help me up.His teammates went over to him and held him. "Let's go!"He had his head hung low all the time and he did not dare to look at Sage.Right when the trio reached the door, a voice called out to them. "Stop right there!"The trio immediately stopped in their tracks.Jim's entire body tensed up as he shut his eyes tightly.Inwardly, he thought to himself: 'Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t!'Sage then said to the coach, "Sir, would you and the boys wait outside? There's something that I'd like to talk to Jim about."The coach was first startled but he immediately understood what Sage hinted at.Things spiraled quickly into an awkward situation."Are you a doctor here?""Yes."Sage added, "I'll explain to you about his injury later."The coach nodded. "Sure."He then walked out the door with the boys. B
Sage stared quietly at Jim. She moved her lips slightly, wanting to say something."But I know that your heart's with someone else."Jim continued without giving Sage a chance to say anything. "And even though he isn't around anymore, he still left a scar on your heart. I just want you to know that you deserve the best and I hope that you'll stay happy.""Thank you."Sage felt tears welling in her eyes. She walked over to Jim, wrapped her arms around him, and said, "Take good care of yourself. I'm waiting for the day you'd make our country proud and I promise that I'll be there to support you.""You promised."This was the first time that Jim got so close to Sage. He felt a warmth and soft energy embracing him.He held back the waves of emotions in him, looked at her, and flashed a smile. "I'm looking forward to when the day comes."Sage smiled."Mm, me too."The coach and the boys had their ears stuck against the door and Luther too tried to listen to their conversation.No
If Sage told him that she too felt the same way about him, he would have risked everything he had to chase after her.However, Jim knew that Sage always treated him as a younger brother.***Luther rushed into the ward room, acting like a middle-aged woman."Goodness gracious, Sage is being confessed to!"Tim and Yale turned to look at him at the same time.Sage was irked. She landed a kick on his back and seethed, "Luther Bennett, can you not be this nosy!""It's not an offense to share the good news, is it?"Luther adjusted his crumpled shirt and started telling Tim and Yale about what he overheard earlier. Sage tried to stop him but failed.Finally, she locked her arms around his neck and warned, "Can you just please shut up!""Sure… Ugh…"Luther raised his hands to surrender.Tim fumbled with a cigar between his fingers. The cigar was not lit as he placed the cigar underneath his nose, taking in the smell of the cigar. He then asked faintly, "Who is this Jim Sylas?"Sa
It was soon the national holiday.Sage did not return to Salem City but remained in Nadeem City.She went back and forth from the company, to the hospital, and the museum. There were days when she would not even have the time to go home.The Forget Me Not project was at its critical stage and after the national holiday, the first batch of repaired antiques would be launched to the public; This was an important stage for the Yuriel Group.Even though Sage looked calm on the inside, she was constantly on her toes.Laura helped Sage to relax whereas Kane gave her a lecture."I told you from the start that you brought this upon yourself, dropping a rock onto your own feet. What's the point of working your as* off for the Yuriel Group? Why didn't I know that you were such a selfless person, huh?"Sage's body muscles were tensed all over. She had Laura massage her shoulders.With her eyes half-open, Sage replied, "I'm only doing this so that Yuriel Group would be back on track as soo
