A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 139

Sage's cheeks were slightly red. She glared at Ian and sat down, saying, "I'll just comply then."

"Mr. Holcomb, your wife is so lovely. You shouldn't make her angry. You must apologize properly when you go back later," said Colin.

Ian, as if he were truly a man who had angered his wife, readily agreed, "Okay."

Just as they were talking, the restaurant manager knocked on the door and handed a bottle of ointment to Ian before apologizing on behalf of the waiter for what happened earlier. Only then did the people in the room notice the redness on his hand.

"Mr. Holcomb, why didn't you speak up earlier? This burn could be serious," someone said.

Remaining calm, Ian replied, "My wife helped me to rinse it with cold water earlier. I'm fine."

Terry couldn't help but snicker inwardly seeing how Ian seemed to be calling Sage his wife more and more naturally now.

Then, he began to recall a previous dinner appointment at a seafood restaurant not too long ago. Ian had refused to go and instead had asked him to go as a representative. But just as he was about to arrive, Ian called to say that he wanted to go along too.

Terry couldn't understand Ian's indecisiveness over such an insignificant occasion. It wasn't until he saw Sage in front of the restaurant that he understood his true intentions.

Seeing the ointment in Ian's hand, Terry quickly suggested, "Mrs. Holcomb, why don't you help Mr. Holcomb apply the ointment? It'll be inconvenient for him to apply it using his left hand."

"Yes, it's important to apply the ointment promptly. Otherwise, it might ulcerate," Colin chimed in.

Amid the encouragement from the two of them, Sage knew that their loving couple act had to continue. She graciously took the ointment and opened it. She dipped a fingertip in and gently applied it to Ian's wound.
