A Farewell After Being Reborn

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 lan think poorly of me, and now she's succeeded. That's that. Besides, lan and I are going to get a divorce, so I don't care what he thinks of me. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"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 noticed the bandage on her left hand.

Sage smiled. "It's nothing. By the way, you can go downstairs first. I'll be down in a minute." Then, she added, "Oh, and don't mention anything about my hand to lan."

Wanda seemed puzzled. “Is your hand injured, Mrs. Holcomb? Why can't I tell Mr. Holcomb? He returned last night after he found out you were back. He also asked me about your condition.”

Sage explained, "It's just a scrape. There's no need to tell him."

After all, she didn't need lan's concern. Sage freshened up after Wanda went downstairs. It was already 9:30 a.m. when she checked the clock. It would take her an hour to get to her grandfather's place.

Sage draped her coat over her left arm and dragged her mini suitcase down the stairs with her right hand. To her surprise, lan was still at home when she got downstairs. He was sitting on the couch listening to Terry brief him on something.

When Terry spotted her, he lowered his head and greeted her, "Mrs. Holcomb."

lan's gaze landed on her suitcase. "Where are you going with all that stuff?"

Sage responded apathetically, “I'm going out of town with my grandfather to visit an old friend of his."

His brows knitted as he asked another question, "Why didn't you answer my calls last night? And why did you block me on WhatsApp?" “I was annoyed," she answered.

Terry felt like he was sitting on pins and needles when he heard that. He almost wished he could vanish into thin air.

He was surprised that she would find his boss annoying enough to block him. After all, she had wanted to get everyone around his boss" contact information in the past.

lan's expression hardened. He wanted to say something, but he found himself at a loss for words when he noticed her demeanor.

"Is there anything else? I'm kind of in a hurry," Sage said.

"Last night—"

"Believe it or not, what happened last night had nothing to do with me." Sage cut lan off.

lan pursed his lips. "I wasn't going to talk about that. I just wanted to know if you were injured last night. I went back to the elevator entrance after I calmed Uncle Ron down, and you were already gone. However, there were a few drops of blood there."

Sage scoffed and dragged her suitcase along. "Save your energy for lvy. I'm leaving."

All of a sudden, he panicked and called out, "Sage! Are you not going to come home before Grandma's birthday?"
