Jace had a bad fever. He was supposed to be resting at home. However, he rushed to the company as soon as Zachary told about the troubles Sage faced at the company. He was so anxious when he knew that Sage was being beaten up and rushed over in a hurry. He was finally recovering after resting in bed, but him running in the wind worsened his fever. His fever turned into a high fever, and he passed out.Sage held Jace in her arms and touched his burning forehead. She yelled, "Call the ambulance!"They hurriedly sent Jace to the hospital for an IV drip and a fever-reducing injection.What if he became an id*ot because of the fever that fried his brain?Sage sat by his bed and stared at Jace's pale face. She looked at him with full of worries.Jace had an ice pack on his forehead to cool him down.Sage also had an ice pack on her forehead to help reduce the swelling from the glass thrown at her. One ended up injured, and the other was sick. Both of them were not in a good con
Jace did not even wake up from all the noise. He slept and finally woke up in the evening.When he opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful figure beside the bed."You're awake?"Sage had just tied up her long hair with a hairpin. When she saw Jace open his eyes, she stood up and hurriedly asked, "Do you want some water?"Jace fixed his eyes on her for a moment. His eyes dazzled when he saw the hairpin he had given her on her hair."Beautiful." He moved his lips, and his dry throat made his voice sound hoarse."I'm always beautiful," Sage answered proudly. Sage was not humble at all. Then, she inserted the straw into the glass of water and handed it to Jace.Jace gulped the water and drank from the glass in Sage's hand. As his throat moistened, he turned his face to Sage. Sage's heart throbbed slightly at the sight of him drinking. She could not help but gulp."There’s only a sip left. I can’t drink the rest." Jace pursed his lips. He wanted more water.Sage looked at the remaini
It was tranquil.Jace's pupils dilated and his heart suddenly started thumping heavily like fireworks were going off in his heart. Boom! He felt he was situated in a lively place while the world turned colorful and bright.'She agrees! She allows me to pursue her!' His lips trembled. When he tried to talk, there was no sound coming out despite his mouth being opened.When Sage saw how excited Jace was, her tears filled up her eyes and her nose felt itchy. "Slow down. Take your time to say it. There's no need to rush." She knew when a person was in extreme excitement, he would experience some stress responses that could fail to speak.Jace took a second to calm down to search for his voice. During then, he focused solely on her. His black pupils sparkled just like the stars in the night sky as they shadowed over her. "Did you agree to it because you pity me?" he asked with a hoarse voice while feeling constrained.Sage frowned unhappily when she heard the question. Before she could
Sage retracted her vision back while feeling speechless.Jace gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you very much." Then he threw the flower to the side with disgust."You're welcome. We're brothers, our relationship is hard as steel." Yoel was very pleased with himself. He drank the soup and felt proud, "Hey, can we change the venue next time? I have to give it to you. We've been meeting either in the hospital or on the way to the hospital. I heard you had a high fever that was almost 104 degrees Fahrenheit. We could've used you as a BBQ grill."He crackled, "People normally splurge money to coax their wife, but you use your body as leverage to coax. Hehehe…"Jace glared at him, "Shut up and drink your soup!""That's right. Stop bickering!" Sage adhered."Forget about him. He never has anything good coming from his mouth." Jace placed all of Jace's favorite dishes in front of her. "Have more meat. You're too thin. You need to eat more to gain nutrients."Sage frowned, "I don't lik
Since the public already saw him, Jace no longer needed to hide his existence.There were already many rumors about the CEO of the Yuriel Group or Young Master Yuriel pretending to die appearing in the ears of many people.

After seeing the news, Yoel called Jace to scold him. "Are you out of your mind? You don't want either the shares or be the CEO? Aren't you Sage's little assistant when you prefer to be the executive CEO?"Jace replied remotely, "I want to be her assistant, but Zayne stopped me. He said I stole his job away from him."Yoel was out of words."Sage has too many assistants now. Even Henry and Zachary are her assistant." Jace said seriously, "I was too late to get in the line. So I can only be the executive CEO. It sounds better too."Yoel scoffed in his heart, "You look quite disappointed."Jace replied, "I am."Yoel's mind blew and refused to give any response.Jace said seriously, "Isn't that all girls want to feel secure? I failed to provide it to her previously. So in the future, I hope that I'll be the security she needs."Yoel did not know how to continue with the topic anymore. He hung up as soon as Jace finished talking. There was only the busy dial tone on Jace's end. He
