Chapter 341

"Do I need to make an appointment right away?" Sage questioned.Tiana shook her head. "No, you don't have to. We can only schedule the abortion after checking the fetus' development. Come on. I'll send you to the hotel."Tiana helped Sage up from the bench. Only then did she realize that Sage's palms were sweaty. Feeling sorry for Sage, she advised, "Sage, you can keep the baby if you want, you know?"Sure, there will be a risk to the baby's health because you were under hallucinogens when you got pregnant. But you've always been healthy. The risk is relatively low."Why don't you opt for a comprehensive checkup at a later stage?""There's no need for that. Let's go." Sage shook her head hopelessly.Tiana did not try to persuade Sage anymore. She simply assumed that Sage needed more time to process the sudden news. Since Tiana had to work in the afternoon, Sage stayed at the hotel alone. Tiana, however, was very worried about her. "Are you really okay? Do you want me to take a

Giselle's unexpected arrival surprised Sage. She recalled the incident where Giselle stormed out of the airport parking lot, furious at her and Shane. She wondered if Giselle was here to cause a scene because of that incident."Ms. Joyner, please open the door. I have something to ask you," Giselle said solemnly while staring at the peephole after hearing Sage's footsteps on the other side.Sage reluctantly answered the door. She assumed that she was safe within the confines of the hotel. Besides, she couldn't dodge Giselle forever. Even if the latter was here to stir trouble, they would soon become colleagues.Giselle marched through the door into the room. Sage kindly handed her a bottle of water, but Giselle declined, "I'm not drinking that!"Huffing and puffing, Giselle seemed to have teared up. She had a mix of despair, envy, and frustration on her face."Ms. Rosethorn, what's wrong? Did someone upset you?" questioned Sage with a puzzled look. That only further provoked Gis

Only then did Sage realize that Giselle wasn't at Haldon City that eventful night. Still, she was baffled by Giselle's logic. "Ms. Rosethorn, how can you be sure that I'm carrying Shane's baby?"Although she had a lukewarm relationship with Ian, she was still married to him. How could Giselle be so sure that she wasn't pregnant with Ian's baby?"Whose child could it possibly be? Your marriage must be rocky because you've moved into a hotel. An unhappy couple would not be making babies!" Giselle growled furiously. "What's more, your husband hasn't shown up yet, so I assume you are too scared to tell him about the pregnancy. The only explanation is that you're pregnant with Shane's child!"Sage stared at Giselle incredulously, feeling astonished at the latter's "remarkable" analytical skills. They could even rival Shane's. In some way, Giselle and Shane were a good match. Although Shane had nothing to do with Sage's pregnancy, Sage had decided not to inform Ian about the matter. S

Giselle reluctantly rose from her seat. But before leaving, she warned, "I will not let this slide if you don't abort the child!" With that, she slammed the door shut, venting her anger.Sighing, Sage realized that she had lost her appetite. After giving it some thought, she dialed Shane's number."My lovely Sage, what's up? It's rare of you to call me," Shane replied flippantly. He seemed to be in a great mood.Firstly, Sage asked him about the construction site issue. He assured her that it was a false alarm before saying, "No doubt, Ian was behind it."As he spoke, Sage heard some noise coming from the other end. It sounded like a chair spinning. "Ms. Joyner, judging from that, Ian Holcomb seems to care about you."Sage did not want to talk about Ian, so she got straight to the point. "Shane, I have some good news and bad news. Which one would you like to hear first?""Why? Have you come across some tough projects?" Shane questioned lackadaisically.She decided to tease him.

Sage did not continue bickering with Shane. She admitted, "I do not plan to tell Ian about the pregnancy, and I do not intend to keep the baby. I'm still waiting for the right time to have the surgery, but if Ian learns about my pregnancy, I hope you will step up."If Ian learned about her pregnancy, he would be unlikely to agree to the divorce, be it out of a sense of responsibility or otherwise. Not only that, he might get the older family members to pressure her into moving back to Solaris Estate. Therefore, Sage thought of getting Shane to take the blame for the time being."Tsk! I can't believe you. You're so insistent on divorce to the point that you're even keeping a pregnancy a secret from him," Shane commented, feeling amused."So are you helping me or not?" she pressed."I can take the blame, but I never make a bad bargain. What do I get out of this?" he asked.Sage honestly revealed, "You gain nothing out of this. But if you refuse to help me, I'll tell Giselle that I

Terry was the only one to calmly put away his laptop and meeting documents. When he was done, he followed Ian out of the meeting room. Without guessing, he knew that Ian was feeling troubled because of Sage.Although Ian had a busy schedule yesterday afternoon, he drove himself to the Joyners' residence after getting a call, having no time to call the driver. He had left in haste, and this morning he showed up at the office looking quiet. Terry had to tiptoe around Ian for fear of getting scolded.Thankfully, Ian did not vent his anger on Terry despite looking upset. His emotions seemed to be well under control.Noticing the deep frown on Ian's face, Terry said timidly, "Mr. Holcomb, I need to excuse myself for a bit. I have somewhere to go."Still frowning, Ian questioned, "Where to?"Terry replied, "Heliconia Hotel."The familiar name attracted Ian's attention. He unclenched his fist and turned to Terry. "Why are you headed to that hotel?"Terry lowered his gaze. He explaine

Underneath his suit jacket, Ian wore the shirt that Sage had handed to him last night. As it had been stuffed in the corner for a while, the shirt's collar didn't look as stiff as it usually did.She thought in surprise, "Isn't Ian very meticulous about his appearance? He also has a dressing room in his office. Why didn't he change into a fresh shirt?""What were you up to before this to fall asleep this early?" His low, baritone voice drew her attention.She rolled her eyes at him. But instead of answering, she questioned, "Why are you here?"Ian handed her an exquisite-looking bag. "Terry said he forgot to return this to you at Morita. He asked me to deliver it."His remark puzzled Sage. She thought that Terry had returned every item to her when they left Morita. Did he miss anything?She accepted the bag and checked the packaging of the item, but she could not recall whether or not she had bought that item. She brushed it off as possibly a gift that came with her purchases tha

Sage hurried up to Ian and snatched the paper from his grasp. She hissed, "How dare you look through my stuff without my permission? That was very rude of you!"Ian seemed perplexed by the angry and vigilant look on her face. "It's just a flyer. Why can't I take a look at it?"It was only then Sage realized that she was clutching a flyer promoting fertility treatments. Someone must have shoved it into her hand when she left the hospital. She hadn't paid attention to it due to her emotional distress. She must have tossed the flyer along with her bag onto the coffee table.She let out a sigh of relief when she realized that Ian hadn't seen the report. Thankfully, he did not touch her bag."What was that huge reaction? What did you think I was staring at?" He fixed his eyes on her.Knowing that she had overreacted, she put on a calm face. "Nothing! I just hate it when you touch my stuff without my permission."That, however, did not rid his suspicion. He questioned, "These flyers on

"Were you not the one who bought the tie clip for me?" Ian confronted Sage, barely able to control his anger.She confessed, "No, I wasn't. Grandpa bought the tie clip for you to thank you for the antique inkwell." Immediately after telling the truth, Sage noticed a hint of fleeting disappointment in Ian's eyes. He questioned, "Sage, why didn't you clarify that when Susan took out the gift that day?"He thought of the day he wore the tie clip and how he had dismissed Calvin's comment about the design not being Sage's taste. When he thought about it, he realized that there was a hesitant look on Calvin's face as he said that.It turned out that Calvin was right all the while. Sage had not only not bought him the tie clip, she had never bought any other gift for him.He chided himself for acting like a fool, wearing the shirt she handed him last night and putting on the tie clip, thinking that she'd be happy to see it."What's there to clarify?" she retorted coldly. "I bought you

Sage couldn't help but wonder why he seemed familiar. Once again, she turned around but didn't find anyone seated behind her. When she turned her attention back to the buffet, the man was nowhere to be seen.After having been tailed and abducted by Benjamin's men, Sage was highly vigilant in such situations. Therefore, she went to the front desk, where she requested to view the security footage to ascertain if the man was monitoring her and to find out where he came from.The staff agreed to share the security footage of the restaurant, but they declined to reveal the location of the man's lounge, citing customer privacy.Shane approached Sage when he saw her embroiled in an argument with the staff. He questioned, "What's wrong? I thought you were having dinner at the restaurant. Why are you here?"She briefly updated him on the events that had unfolded. He suggested, "Let's decide after reviewing the footage of the hall."Sage nodded in agreement. As they replayed the security fo
