A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 128

"Mr. Holcomb! Ms. Shekdotter has just fainted! Please come over as soon as possible!" the person on the other end of the line said urgently.

Ian's forehead creased when he heard that. "Alright." He then put his phone away and glanced at Sage. Without a word, he changed quickly and walked straight out the door.

Sage was close by and heard everything that had been said. Of course, she knew exactly where he was going.

Her grandfather had asked her to give their marriage another chance because he could tell Ian cared about her. But why the hell would she want to give another chance to a man who dropped everything for another woman just because of a damn phone call?

…

Meanwhile, in the hospital, Ivy clutched her bruised elbow and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry to bother you at this hour. I just wanted to stretch my legs a little, but I got dizzy and fell. I only passed out for a few minutes, but the nurse made a big deal out of it."

Ian's brows knitted. "There are nurses everywhere here. Why'd you get out of bed by yourself?"

"I want to speed up my recovery and get out of the hospital as soon as possible. I need to see if I can salvage the Mimosa project," she explained.

"Don't worry about it. It's just one project. Bolton Investment will be fine without it," he responded.

"I wouldn't care if someone else invested in it, but it's clear that Shane's just attempting to one-up you," she insisted.

"I heard you called your subordinates in for a meeting this afternoon?" Ian asked. "Shane's been attempting to undermine me for a while now. Even if he snags this project, it doesn't mean he'll be able to beat me.

Hand over the company's affairs to your subordinates for now and focus on recovering. Uncle Ron's out of town, but he has called me several times to ask me to take care of you. He'd rush right back if he found out you were acting so recklessly."
