Sage didn't expect Matilda to suddenly bring this up. She tried to comfort her, saying, "Don't be sad, Mrs. Holcomb. You're taking great care of Sandy."Matilda shook her head, her voice tinged with bitterness and a hint of guilt."If Sandy hadn't been born prematurely because of something unexpected, she could have been very healthy. I can't make up for it no matter how much I look after her now."Although Matilda didn't explicitly mention what had happened, from her tone, Sage deduced that it had something to do with Leo. Otherwise, Matilda wouldn't have chosen to take Sandy abroad by herself.But it didn't feel appropriate to inquire about these personal matters."Sage, Sandy's father wants us to move back to the Holcomb Estate. I won't insist that you go there too."However, I'll still need your help with the incense. I'll bring Sandy to see you when you're available," said Matilda.Sage indeed was not planning on going to Holcomb Estate. But Matilda didn't necessarily have

Without giving Sage any time to refuse, Ian briskly carried her to the hospital's nighttime emergency wing.Many people were struck by Ian's impressive height and striking appearance. When they saw him carrying a beautiful woman, holding her like a princess, their attention immediately shifted to the pair.Sage really didn't want to be stared at, so she turned her face toward Ian. This brought her a bit closer to Ian's chest. She was close enough to hear his strong heartbeat.Sage, for some reason, suddenly remembered her past life. She could only dare to get close to Ian when he was drunk, secretly curling up in his embrace to listen to his heartbeat.But now, Ian was this anxious over her minor injury. Even though she kept pushing him away, he still insisted on getting closer to her.Sage felt a mix of anguish and irritation."Hang in there. We'll be there soon," Ian said softly, sensing Sage's impatience.Noticing the pain in his voice, Sage couldn't help but lift her head.

Ian was 22 years old back then. He rescued Sage just in time, who was deeply trapped in fear and anxiety.Sage idolized him like a hero and knight back then and fell hopelessly in love with him."Sage?" A deep and cold male voice pulled Sage out of her memories.It was Ian, who was speaking with a calming tone, "Don't be afraid, it's all over now. This man was sent to the police station years ago and was locked up until last year."I didn't expect him to remain incorrigible. This time, I won't let him get out so easily!"Seeing the familiar handsome face that closely matched her memories, Sage's heart suddenly fluttered uncontrollably.Ian surprisingly still remembered the events from that year and could clearly recall the sleazy man's appearance."Ian, did you happen to find a crystal hair clip that day?" Sage's voice trembled slightly. Her beautiful, watery eyes were fixed intently on Ian.She remembered that when she attended the party back then, she wore a crescent-shaped c

A car drove by on the road across the street. Its headlights briefly illuminated Ian's handsome face, revealing the complexity in his eyes. As the car passed, Sage also looked away."Ian, I can let go of the past and not hold a grudge, but the damage that has been done cannot be erased. I won't start over with you. I will have my own life."The sidewalk outside had mostly returned to its peaceful state.Sage continued in a neutral tone, "Ms. Sutton has informed me about your recent situation. I think marrying her would be a good choice for you."You haven't changed your view of me for years, which shows I'm not that important to you. We're getting divorced anyway, so if you want love, you might as well focus on Ms. Sutton."She and her dad both have a very good impression of you. If you're willing, you could have a happy marriage and a stronger business empire.Sage's words were like nettle leaves—appearing soft and gentle, but when touched, the pain they could cause you was unbe

Sage looked curious. "What is it?"Tiana said, "Take a guess!""Did Calvin propose to you?" Sage asked.That made Tiana choke on her saliva. "Come on, control your imagination. We've only just started dating!""Well, I can't think of any big news, then."Tiana didn't keep her guessing any longer. She told Sage that Calvin had called her that morning, saying that Ivy had developed a fever recently.After some tests, it was discovered that she had contracted a sexually transmitted disease."When Sandra found out, she was so angry that she insulted Ivy but was adamant that Ivy should not get an abortion," Tiana said. "Even Ronald couldn't do anything about it when he went over."Sage was somewhat surprised, but at the same time wasn't. Those men from Toledon didn't seem like good people, so it wasn't surprising that they might have some health issues."Will the baby be healthy under these circumstances?" Sage asked.Tiana told her that certain sexually transmitted diseases may n
