A Farewell After Being Reborn

Hospital? Sage was a little surprised. Was someone injured? Why did he need her there? But before she could ask any more questions, Ian had already hung up the phone.

Just then, Terry’s voice came from outside the door. “Mrs. Holcomb, please come downstairs when you’re ready. I’ll go start the car right now.‘

Ian was really efficient. Terry was already outside her room before she could think about it or refuse. Sage changed out of her pajamas, put on a loose T–shirt, and grabbed her purse before heading downstairs.

She wondered what on earth was going on for him. Sage got into the back seat, slightly annoyed. Terry was focused on the road and didn’t seem like he wanted to talk to her.

“Mr. Zane, did Ian threaten you or something? Is that why you’re not talking to me?” she couldn’t help but ask. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Terry didn’t dare to utter a word. “Oh, nothing of the sort happened, Mrs. Holcomb. Mr. Holcomb just wants me to do my job properly.”

Sage didn’t push any further because she knew that he wasn’t telling the truth: He dropped her off at the hospital about 20 minutes later. “Mrs. Holcomb, Mr. Holcomb and the others are in the emergency department. Would you like me to accompany you upstairs?” he asked politely.

“No, it’s alright.” Sage shook her head before asking, “Who’s in the

“I’m not sure. I’ll wait for you guys here, Mrs. Holcomb.”

“Alright.”

Who could be in the emergency room? Why did he call her over? Could it be Tiana? Sage couldn’t help but pick up her pace when she thought of that possibility.

She hurried upstairs but didn’t see Ian in the corridor outside the emergency room. However, there was a man in his 50s sitting there. He was slightly overweight, and he looked

anxious.

Sage racked her brain but couldn’t recognize him. Then, she thought, “Whatever.” She pulled out her phone and called Ian.

Just then, the door to the emergency room swung open. The nurse wheeled a patient out. Sage took a look and was shocked to see Ivy. How did she end up in the emergency room? All

of a sudden, she had a bad feeling.

“Ivy, are you okay? I was worried sick!” The middle–aged man cried and threw himself at Ivy. The slightly overweight man was Ivy’s father, Ronald Shekdotter.

“Sir, please step aside. The patient has just had her stomach pumped, and she needs to rest, “the nurse reminded. Ronald then took a step back.

Ivy spotted Sge at the elevator door when she was being wheeled there. “Mrs. Holcomb,” she called out weakly.

Ronald’s gaze immediately shifted to Sage as soon as he heard that. Then, his temper flared. “So, you’re Sage Joyner, huh? What were you thinking? Why did you switch out Ivy’s medication? Did you

know that you almost killed her?”

“Dad, calm down. It might have nothing to do with Mrs. Holcomb…” Ivy interjected weakly.

“This is most definitely her doing! There were only three people who came into contact with those medications. Ian couldn’t have done it. The resort’s staff simply delivered them to you, and the whole process was monitored. That leaves her-”
