A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 232

Sage smiled and remained silent yet again.

"He deserves to be left hanging. How could he leave his injured wife and accompany someone else?" The doctor dressed her wounds and bandaged her palm with gauze. "Be sure not to get it wet and apply the ointment on time. Otherwise, it'll scar."

"Thanks, doctor." Her phone rang again when she was paying the bill. This time, Ian had initiated a video call. Sage declined it and blocked his number.

In the past, she would never have had the heart to block Ian. Sage would have found the thought unbearable. But now, she did it without a second thought. It seemed hard, but in reality, it only took her a couple of seconds to do it.

Sage walked out of the clinic and hailed a cab back to Solaris Estate. She didn't want Ian to bother Tiana, so she sent her a message while she was on her way home.

"My shoulder's acting up, and I didn't bring my medications. Enjoy the hot springs with Wilson, Tiana. I'll be heading back first."

Ian called her once again after she sent the message. Annoyed, she turned off her phone. There was less traffic at night, so the drive was faster than it had been during the day. Sage made it back to Solaris Estate in about an hour and a half.

Surprisingly, Wanda was still awake. "Mrs. Holcomb, weren't you and Mr. Holcomb out for a team-building event? Why are you back so soon? Mr. Holcomb just called to ask about you."

Sage didn't want to go into details with Wanda. "I couldn't sleep at the resort, so I decided to come home early. I'm going to bed, Wanda. Please don't disturb me, no matter who calls." Wanda nodded.

Sage returned to her bedroom and tossed the rabbit-shaped crystal night light into the trash can. Then, she locked the door, lay on her side on the bed, and drifted off to sleep.

Sometime later, she vaguely heard someone turning the door lock, followed by Wanda's soft voice. "Mr. Holcomb, Mrs. Holcomb said she's tired and wants to get some rest. She probably locked the door to avoid being disturbed. The sheets and covers in the guest room are clean. You can rest there."

"Was she alright when she got home? Did you notice any injuries on her legs or anywhere else?" Ian asked quietly.
