A Farewell After Being Reborn

"I bet you're interested in her friend, Tiana, aren't you?" lan scoffed. "But she's already taken.”

Calvin wasn't the least bit upset that he had been caught red-handed. Instead, he seemed a little downcast. "Why did she rush into marriage at such a young age?"

He then realized what he said and added, "Of course, Mrs. Holcomb doesn't count. She married you because she loved you."

lan snorted. "Tiana's husband is a chief surgeon at a top-tier hospital. That means she's into successful and stable men. Even if she wasn't married, you're not her type."

Calvin was rendered speechless. lan's words cut deep. It seemed like birds of a feather really did flock together—Ilan and Sage were both the same. Calvin felt defeated.

Tiana arrived at the hospital in the morning, carrying a pot of soup she had made for Sage.

"Sage Joyner, you almost gave me a heart attack. How could you block such a huge wine bottle?" Tiana reprimanded her as soon as she saw her. "How could you claim you've moved on from lan with such reckless behavior? Who do you think you're fooling?"

Sage sighed inwardly. She knew Tiana wasn't the only one who didn't believe her. Anyone who learned about what had happened wouldn't believe her either. Sage could only blame herself here.

"Please spare the victim. I know I messed up,” she pleaded. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Tiana pinched her cheek. “If you're willing to risk your own safety just to keep lan from harm, it means he's still very important to you. Honestly, you should just forget about getting a divorce. lan is handsome and physically fit, and he is also the CEO of the famous Holcomb Corporation.

"Plus, he looks cool when he's beating people up. I can see that he cares about you. Why don't you guys just stay like this?"

“I didn't realize you had the potential to be a lobbyist.” Sage rolled her eyes at Tiana.

"Oh, hush. I just know how strong your feelings for lan are, and I don't want you to regret it,” Tiana said. "Sure, he's got his flaws. But who doesn't? What matters is that he's willing to work on them for you." Sage couldn't disagree with Tiana. The man she loved was finally interested in her, and he had even promised to change. Perhaps she and lan could live with their current situation, even if it wasn't ideal. “But I don't want to settle,” Sage said. "I'd rather not have love than have someone's pity."

Tiana was confused when she heard Sage's words. "Didn't you say that as long as you stuck by lan's side, he'd eventually realize how wonderful you are and fall in love with you? Why are you backing down now that he's realizing that?"

Sage couldn't tell her about what had happened in her previous life. It was only natural that Tiana couldn't understand her.

Hence, she changed the subject. “Let's not talk about it anymore. I'm hungry. I want to eat something.”

After she finished her meal, a doctor came to check on her and said they would conduct another examination on Sage later. If there were no other problems, she could be discharged from the hospital.

Naturally, she was happy to hear that. Sage and Tiana then made plans to take a stroll through the small garden outside.

The girls ran into several doctors as they walked down the corridor. The leader was a man wearing rimless glasses. He had a cold and aloof demeanor. It was Tiana's husband, William.

The doctors were so engrossed in their discussion that they didn't notice Sage and Tiana. Sage and Wilson weren't acquainted. She had only seen him twice, but she had never spoken to him or shared a meal with him.
