Semua Bab A Farewell After Being Reborn: Bab 231 - Bab 240

Sage smiled and remained silent yet again."He deserves to be left hanging. How could he leave his injured wife and accompany someone else?" The doctor dressed her wounds and bandaged her palm with gauze. "Be sure not to get it wet and apply the ointment on time. Otherwise, it'll scar.""Thanks, doctor." Her phone rang again when she was paying the bill. This time, Ian had initiated a video call. Sage declined it and blocked his number.In the past, she would never have had the heart to block Ian. Sage would have found the thought unbearable. But now, she did it without a second thought. It seemed hard, but in reality, it only took her a couple of seconds to do it.Sage walked out of the clinic and hailed a cab back to Solaris Estate. She didn't want Ian to bother Tiana, so she sent her a message while she was on her way home. "My shoulder's acting up, and I didn't bring my medications. Enjoy the hot springs with Wilson, Tiana. I'll be heading back first."Ian called her once ag

Tiana pondered for a moment before answering with certainty, "I wouldn't. I've done nothing wrong. Why would I run away?"Sage smiled. "That's right. Hold that thought."Tiana was puzzled. "How did we end up talking about me? You haven't told me everything yet!""What else is there to say? Ivy's goal was to make Ian think poorly of me, and now she's succeeded. That's that. Besides, Ian and I are going to get a divorce, so I don't care what he thinks of me."Alright, I have to go now. Catch you later!" Sage hung up before Tiana could respond. She packed a few sets of clothes, added a set of travel-sized skincare and cosmetics, zipped her suitcase, and went to the bathroom.Fortunately, it was her left hand that was injured, so her daily activities weren't affected. Wanda's voice came from outside as soon as she washed her face. "Mrs. Holcomb, are you awake? Breakfast is ready."Sage opened the door and found Wanda outside. "Mrs. Holcomb, what happened to your hand?" Wanda noti

"I haven't done anything wrong! You called me over to the hospital to grill me, but you still think I shouldn't have left? Do I have to wait for you to pin a crime on me and get on all fours before your Uncle Ron and Ivy to apologize before I can leave?"Ian was stumped. Terry couldn't take it anymore. He frantically signaled to the driver to lower the partition, or he would be caught in the crossfire. Ian's frustration could no longer be suppressed after the partition was lowered. "Sage Joyner, are you saying I've wronged you? Can you honestly say that your fingerprints weren't on that bag of medications? Or that you weren't upset because of Ivy's appearance before we went to the drugstore?"Of course, he had the fingerprints checked. "Ivy's just an employee at my company who was promoted to director because she was qualified for it. I allowed you to pick any position you wanted at my company's headquarters, but you turned it down. Yet, you still can't stand Ivy. What the hell d

Sage scoffed. "What is this? Compensation?"Ian would never use that term ever again after she offered him 10 thousand dollars to accompany her for a month. "If I can't accompany you and Grandpa to another state, I'll cover all of your travel expenses instead," he explained.Sage declined. "That won't be necessary. My family isn't short on money."Her tone made him feel as if there was no longer any connection between them. He suppressed his discomfort and asked lowly, "Should I tag along then?"Sage took the card as soon as she heard that. Even though he might not have meant it, her mood would've been ruined if he decided to join them out of spite. Since he was offering, she would be a fool not to take it.Ian could see right through Sage. He pursed his lips and chose not to say anything. The couple arrived at the Joyner residence several minutes later. Sage draped her coat over her left arm and grabbed her handbag before getting out of the car.Donald was already waiting in th

The driver thought he had misheard, but Ian's deep voice was unmistakable. The driver questioned, "Mr. Holcomb, are you asking me a question?" Ian fell silent.The driver mustered the courage to reply. "Well, my wife has the final say in my household. She'll take care of any emergency, so I have nothing to worry about."Knowing that the driver misunderstood his question, Ian did not bother to explain further. The doctor who treated Sage had come to a hasty conclusion without understanding the situation they were in when Sage got hurt.Besides, this was not the first time Sage had faced off against Ivy. Ian believed that he'd only embolden Sage if he unreasonably sided with her.Moreover, he had no idea that Sage was hurt. When he attempted to learn about the details, Sage was long gone and uncontactable.Therefore, he didn't think he had mishandled the situation. If Sage insisted on traveling to Colville with Donald out of spite, he had no choice but to let her be.Although Ian s
