A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 230

Sage had browsed the aisles to avoid running into Ian. "I'm sure you've also found out that I haven't bought any amoxicillin."

"That corner is a blind spot for the surveillance cameras," Ian said.

Sage couldn't help but sneer at him. "Are you suggesting that I stole the medication from the drugstore and then swapped it out with Ms. Shekdotter's in the car?" Ian remained silent.

Sage snorted. "I had no idea which medications she needed. How could I have prepared the warfarin ahead of time?"

"Why wouldn't you have been able to prepare it? The wound on Ivy's forehead was inflamed. Anyone would've guessed that she'd need anti-inflammatory medications!" Ronald snarled.

Sage frowned and shot Ian a cold look. "Do you think so too?"

Before Ian could say anything, Ronald snapped, "How could you be so cruel? What has Ivy ever done to you that you'd attempt to harm her over and over again?"

The middle-aged man raised his hand and was about to slap Sage's face when Ian stopped him. "Calm down, Uncle Ron."

"Calm down? How could I possibly remain calm? Ivy's my one and only daughter. She's gentle, and she never gets into any trouble. Why does your wife hate her so much that she'd do this to her?

"My poor Ivy didn't want to bother you even though she was feeling unwell. She had to call an ambulance and go to the hospital on her own! It wasn't until the pain became unbearable that she called me to come to the hospital…" Ronald's voice broke as tears streamed down his face. "If something happens to Ivy, how will I face my late wife…"

"Dad, please, stop," Ivy choked out. "I'm alright now, aren't I?"
