A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 257

"Huh?" Sage was taken aback as Thomas seemed perfectly well when she and Donald bid him goodbye yesterday. His voice had been full of energy, but he was gone now.

"The doctor said it was terminal lucidity," croaked Donald.

Sage understood that losing a lifelong friend must have been crushing for Donald. She was also disheartened to learn that Thomas, who had spoken highly of her just the day before, was suddenly no longer alive.

After consoling Donald, she went up to Linda. "Grandma, I'm sorry but I can't stay the night. My grandfather is grieving the loss of his friend, and I need to be there for him."

Linda replied, "Silly child. There's nothing to apologize for. It's only natural to want to comfort your grandfather in his time of need. I'll have Ian send you back." Then, Linda attempted to make one of the maids get Ian.

Sage stopped her. "Grandma, that won't be necessary. Let Ian keep on with his work. I'll hail a cab."

"Nonsense. It's only fitting for Ian to pay his respects to Mr. Joyner Senior too."

However, considering the distance to Donald's home, Ian's workload, and the presence of Leo, Sage didn't want to inconvenience anyone. She insisted, "Grandma, it's easier to hail a cab than make Ian make a round trip."

Knowing that the last thing on Sage's mind was romance, Linda did not insist. She instead suggested another method. "Fine. But allow our family driver to take you. It may take some time for a cab to reach our estate." Sage nodded in agreement.
