Semua Bab A Farewell After Being Reborn: Bab 411 - Bab 420

While the IV drip was running, the doctor and nurse stepped out to prepare the medication. Ian was still busy answering calls outside. Sage took a look around the master bedroom and realized that not much had changed since she left, aside from the additional bedding. The pillows, thin blankets, and fuzzy slippers she hadn't taken with her were still in their original places."You must be hungry, Mrs. Holcomb. I've prepared some oatmeal and chicken soup for you. Why don't you have some?" Just then, Wanda walked in with a tray of food. Even though she sounded a bit cautious, Sage could tell Wanda was genuinely happy to have her back. Sage was frustrated, but she didn't want to take it out on Wanda. Hence, she forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Wanda. I don't have much of an appetite right now. Please just leave it there.""Even if you have no appetite, you should eat something, Mrs. Holcomb," Wanda urged with concern. "Look at you… you were already slim to begin with. But now,

The bodyguard hesitated. "I'll go out then!" Sage said, heading toward the door.Wanda didn't dare to stop her. She could only follow after her anxiously. "Slow down, Mrs. Holcomb! There's no need to rush!"Sage rushed to the front door of the villa. Sure enough, Tiana was waiting for her outside. "Sage!" Tiana tried to walk into the villa as soon as she noticed Sage, but Ralph stopped her. Sage's expression hardened. "If you don't let her in, I'm coming out. It's your call."Ralph hesitated for a moment when he noticed her adamant demeanor. Eventually, he got out of Tiana's way. Tiana walked into the villa, took Sage's hand, and gave her a quick once-over. "Are you okay? Why couldn't I get through to you?"Sage had Wanda go into the house while she and Tiana sat on the chairs in the garden. "That lunatic took my phone and wouldn't let me leave," Sage said coldly."No wonder I couldn't reach him the past few days when I tried to call and ask about your condition. His assis

Wanda hurriedly explained, "I'm not trying to be nosy, Mrs. Holcomb. I'm just worried that Mr. Holcomb will ask me about it."Sage settled into the lounge chair. "It's okay. Just tell him I'm causing a scene and ask him to come home as soon as possible.""But…" Wanda hesitated as she looked at Sage, who was visibly relaxed. "But Mrs. Holcomb isn't causing a scene… Wouldn't this mean I'm lying? Would Mr. Holcomb blame me?" she thought. Sage saw right through her. "If he doesn't believe you, I can start kicking a fuss right now." Wanda was at a loss for words.Sage had already started to doze off after Wanda called Ian. "Mrs. Holcomb, it's a nice day out, but you shouldn't sleep out here. You might catch a cold," she said worriedly.Sage shifted slightly. "Could you please bring me a blanket then?""Of course, I'll be right back." When she returned to the rooftop with a blanket, she found Sage standing beside the glass railing at the edge of the balcony. Puzzled, she asked, "I

Sage found herself lying in her bedroom when she woke up. Her grandfather and Dexter were watching over her. Donald sat in a chair next to her bed. He looked tired, and his expression was solemn and filled with dread. Dexter handed him a glass of water and a few pills. "Don't worry too much, sir. The doctor said Sage was fine. She just fainted because she was too emotional. She'll wake up in a bit. "Please take better care of yourself. What if you had fallen when you rushed over to Sage earlier?""Oh, please. As if I'd fall that easily. I know my limits." Donald took the pills and swallowed them.Tears welled up in Sage's eyes as she thought about her grandfather's unsteady footsteps and heart-wrenching cry when she landed on the flowerbeds."You're awake, Sage!" Dexter exclaimed when he noticed her eyes open.Donald looked over as soon as he heard that. His eyes, which were filled with worry, instantly lit up with joy. "How're you feeling, Sage? Does it hurt anywhere?""Gra

"Even if we become strangers after this?" he asked again.Who would want to have anything to do with their ex-spouse? Sage responded resolutely, "Yes."His eyes flared with anger. "We've been together for over five years, Sage. But you're okay with letting it all go?" Sage found this amusing. "Let me set the record straight. I was the one who invested everything in this relationship for over five years. There was never a real connection between us.""How do you know there wasn't?" he roared. "Even if there wasn't before, I'm sure there is a connection now, and I want to reciprocate your feelings! Why are you so set on rejecting me?""Why can't I reject you, Ian?" she asked. "I used to like you, and you wanted me gone. Yet, you want to bind me by your side now that I don't like you anymore. Just because you have feelings for me doesn't mean I have to accept them, you know?" "Why don't you like me anymore? You should at least give me a reason that I can accept!" Ian fumed. Sage
