A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 198

She would be in a difficult position if Ian was injured and used it as an excuse to delay the divorce. Sage felt much more relaxed as she thought of that.

Not long after, Calvin came into the ward. "Mrs. Holcomb, Ian's injuries have been checked out. He stayed up all night watching over you, so I asked him to get some rest at my place first."

Sage nodded.

"Mrs. Holcomb, Ian also took quite a hit to his lower back. The doctor said it would be best for him to stay in the hospital for a few days. But since Ian's too busy to rest, the doctor prescribed him some medication to improve blood flow and alleviate his pain. He needs to apply it and massage the area every day."

She couldn't believe it. Was he asking her to apply the medication for Ian? Sage chuckled and pointed to her shoulder. "Unfortunately, I injured my shoulder and can't exert much force. I'm afraid I can't help him."

In her previous life, she was pushed by Ian and injured her lumbar spine. She had to rest for half a month before it recovered. Ian had only bumped into the corner of a table, so he got off easy.

Calvin changed the subject. "That's alright, Mrs. Holcomb. But his injury is on his side, so he can apply the medicine himself. Mrs. Holcomb, since you can't massage your own shoulder, why don't you let Ian do it for you?"

Sage declined. "It's okay. Wanda will be back tomorrow. She can help me out then."

Calvin paused for a moment before apologizing. "Mrs. Holcomb, please don't take all the nonsense I have said to you in the past to heart. I've had a bad habit of running my mouth."

Of course, she didn't take it to heart. The reason he didn't think much of her was because Ian never took her seriously. It was only natural for his friends not to take her seriously as well.

Sage chuckled. "It's okay, you weren't spouting nonsense. I indeed used to cling to Ian, so it's not surprising that you felt the need to stand up for him."

Calvin cleared his throat. "Mrs. Holcomb, I heard Ms. Ford works at the hospital. Will she be stopping by tomorrow?"
