A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 240

The driver thought he had misheard, but Ian's deep voice was unmistakable. The driver questioned, "Mr. Holcomb, are you asking me a question?" Ian fell silent.

The driver mustered the courage to reply. "Well, my wife has the final say in my household. She'll take care of any emergency, so I have nothing to worry about."

Knowing that the driver misunderstood his question, Ian did not bother to explain further. The doctor who treated Sage had come to a hasty conclusion without understanding the situation they were in when Sage got hurt.

Besides, this was not the first time Sage had faced off against Ivy. Ian believed that he'd only embolden Sage if he unreasonably sided with her.

Moreover, he had no idea that Sage was hurt. When he attempted to learn about the details, Sage was long gone and uncontactable.

Therefore, he didn't think he had mishandled the situation. If Sage insisted on traveling to Colville with Donald out of spite, he had no choice but to let her be.

Although Ian somewhat managed to convince himself, he felt troubled when he recalled the mocking expression on Sage's face.

…

After lunch, Sage and Donald arrived at the airport with Dexter. Since she couldn't possibly share a room with Donald, and she was clueless about the exact time and place of Donald's accident in the past life, she requested Dexter to tag along just to be safe.

After getting their boarding passes, the trio headed to the business class lounge to rest. Sage's phone rang while Donald and Dexter were chatting with each other.

She checked her phone and was surprised that it was Linda who had called. Why would Linda call her at this time? She answered the call and asked, "Grandma, what's the matter?"

Linda replied, "Sage, Ian's dad is flying home today. Didn't you promise me to join us for dinner at Holcomb Manor?"

Sage smacked herself on the head. She had completely forgotten about the promise. Ian had not brought up the matter earlier in the morning. But even if he had, she wouldn't have altered her travel plans for the dinner anyway.
