"Help us!" Ian called out to the nurses in the corridor as he helped Ivy up.The nurses rushed over. "The patient's complexion is too pale! We need to take her back to the ER and have the doctor check on her!"Ian placed Ivy on the bed. She was in so much pain that the color drained from her lips. "I'm fine. Please, check on my father…"The nurses wheeled her to the emergency room while Ian hastily helped Ronald up."Ivy! Ivy, what's wrong? Are you alright?" The middle-aged man staggered as he chased after his daughter. To prevent him from falling again, Ian supported him and guided him forward.Sage stood frozen in place as pain surged through her body. Her husband, the man Tiana claimed didn't want to get a divorce with her, was now chasing after Ivy. He didn't even spare her a glance, let alone care if she was in pain.Blood dripped to the ground. Sage pulled out a tissue from her purse and pressed it against the wound. Then, she took the elevator downstairs. Instead of headin

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

Dexter explained, "He decided yesterday. He said he was an old friend who lives in Colville that he hadn't seen in ages. He's sick now, so he's afraid that he won't have a chance to see him again if he doesn't go now."Then, it hit her. In her previous life, her grandfather had an accident on his way to Colville. He was hit by a speeding car and injured his back and legs. Even though he was sent to the hospital in time, he never fully recovered.Later on, he had another fall in the yard while he was sunbathing. The doctors said the nerves in his legs were severely damaged, and the fall caused a comminuted fracture. He was permanently confined to a wheelchair after that incident.Her nose started to tingle, and tears welled up in her eyes as she thought about her grandfather, who was in a wheelchair in her previous life. "Don't worry, Sage. I'll take good care of Mr. Joyner Senior," Dexter said. "Anyway, I'm hanging up now. I need to pack his luggage.""Dexter, when are you guys l

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

Chapter 235

Come home? As if Solaris Estate were her real home. Sage sneered inwardly in response to Ian's pointless questions and left without saying a word.Wanda hurried out of the kitchen and called out, "Mrs. Holcomb, where are you going? You haven't had breakfast yet!""I'm in a rush, so I'm skipping it," Sage said before walking out the door. Her shoulder wasn't fully healed yet, and her left hand was injured, so driving wasn't an option. Sage pulled out her phone to book a ride instead.To her surprise, Ian came out and said, "I'll take you to your grandfather's place.""No—""I'll pay him a visit and bring him some things as well," Ian interjected with a reason she couldn't refuse.Just then, Terry brought out several boxes of expensive supplement gift sets, while Wanda brought her two lunch boxes. "Mrs. Holcomb, you can't skip breakfast even if you're in a hurry. Here are some pastries that you can eat in the car."Then, the driver pulled up in front of them. Sage accepted Wanda's

Chapter 236

"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 could tell he was concerned, but she found it extremely ironic. So, she shut her mouth and remained silent."What else could have happened? It was either caused by gravel or glass shards," said the doctor.Ian thought of something. "Is it the glass shards from the trash can?"Sage chose to remain silent yet again. The doctor chided, "How could you be so careless when you knew you were injured? The scab had just formed as well. You're going to have to go through the pain all over again.""It's my fault. I had no idea she had injured her hand, so I grabbed her hand a bit too forcefully." Ian took the blame upon himself.The doctor adjusted his glasses and looked up at Ian. "Are you her husband? How were you not aware that your wife was injured?"Ian, who had always been high and mighty, was embarrassed at that moment. He cleared his throat and said, "It was pretty hectic at the time.""So you were there, but you have no idea how your wife got injured?" The doctor's eyes widen

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

Chapter 239

The driver opened the car door for Ian, who paused as he was stepping in. After giving it some thought, Ian turned around and entered the house.He found Sage and Donald staring at a tablet by the coffee table and discussing the many attractions in Colville. She wore a sweet smile, one Ian had not seen for a while."Grandpa," Ian called out to Donald.Donald turned around. "Ian, aren't you heading back?""Yes, I'm about to leave, but I need to apologize to you for something," confessed Ian. "Sage injured her hand due to my negligence."That was when Donald noticed Sage keeping her other hand hidden in her dress pocket. "What's wrong? Where are you hurt? Let me take a look!"Sage shot Ian an irritated look and displayed her bandaged palm. She reassured Donald, "I accidentally hurt my hand by pressing it against some rocks. It's almost healed now."Donald still felt sorry for her. "You can't take pain. You cry at the slightest extraction. They must have disinfected your hand befor

Chapter 240

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
