A Farewell After Being Reborn

There were red marks on her wrist from being tied up by ropes last night, although they had faded a lot overnight.

Then, she suddenly remembered she had caught a whiff of this scent when she was taking a shower just now. Had lan used the same ointment on

her wrist last night?

"The hospital's right next door. If you're feeling unwell or are in severe pain, we can head there and get you treated first,” lan offered.

Sage felt her cheeks heat up again. Even though he wasn't specific, both of them understood what he meant.

Frankly, she did feel a little swollen and uncomfortable, and it was a little painful to walk. But she didn't have the nerve to go to the hospital for

something like that.

"I'm perfectly fine!" Sage exclaimed before swinging the door open and walking out. lan reached out, wrapped his arm around her waist, and led her

out of the hotel when he noticed her awkward gait.

Terry was already waiting for them in the parking lot. He lowered his head when he noticed the hickeys on Sage's neck and lan's hold on her. "Good

day, Mr. and Mrs. Holcomb," he greeted respectfully.

Terry then pointed to the man who was with him and said, "This is Ralph. He's extremely skilled at combat and driving.” The man named Ralph

greeted the couple.

lan nodded at him. "From now on, Ralph here will be your designated driver, Sage."

Sage looked perplexed. "Why do I need a driver?"

"It's just to make things easier for you. He can double as your bodyguard when you're out and about," lan explained coolly.

Sage politely declined. "That won't be necessary. What happened last night was just an accident. I don't need a bodyguard or a chauffeur. Even if I

did, I'd find one on my own."

lan felt his temper flare when he noticed that Sage was attempting to distance herself from him again. Suppressing his anger, he said coldly, "Just

use him for now. We can talk about it when you find someone else."

Sage didn't want to argue with lan in front of the others. So, she pried his hand off hers and got into the car without another word. The couple headed

to the police station with Ralph behind the wheel and Terry driving closely behind them.

Her handbag and phone had been retrieved by Ian's men and were now back with her. Priscilla's call came through as soon as she powered on her

phone. The former had already heard about what happened last night.

"Benjamin must be out of his mind, Sage. How could he pin all the blame on you and kidnap you? I will not let him get away with this!"

Priscilla said through gritted teeth,

Sage, accompanied by lan, recounted the events of the previous night. Josephine called and invited them to come over for lunch as soon as they left

the police station. Sage politely declined and said they'd come over after lunch.

"Let's head back to Solaris Estate first. I need to change and put on some makeup," Sage told lan, who agreed.

On the way back, she suddenly thought of something. Sage asked the driver, "Could you check if there's a drugstore nearby? I need to make a quick

stop."

lan turned to her and asked, "What's wrong? Let's just go to the hospital.”
