Sage was surrounded by white walls and had an IV drip attached to her arm. How did she end up in the


    hospital?


    All of a sudden, memories of what had happened in the bar flooded back. The beer-bellied man had


    tried to hitn, so she pushed him away and was injured in the process.


    "Hey. You''re awake."n''s low voice brought her back to reality.


    Sage looked up and noticedn sitting by the bed. He looked tired. His brows were knitted and his face


    looked haggard. He usually took care of his appearance, but now, he looked disheveled.


    His suit jacket had been tossed carelessly over the back of the chair, and he was propping his head up


    with one hand. His sleeves were rolled up, revealing his strong wrists.


    "Are you feeling any pain?"n asked, sitting up.


    Sage moved her body. Aside from her shoulder and a headache, she was fine. "I''m fine. Where''s


    Tiana? Has she gone home?" she asked hoarsely.


    His eyes darkened as he looked at her. "Why did you do that, Sage? Fortunately, that guy was drunk


    and didn''t use much force. Otherwise, you would have been seriously injured.”


    Sage felt a wave of regret and fear wash over her when he recounted the incident. She was also


    feeling a little down.


    Her tendency to prioritizen over everything else was overwhelming. Even though she had another


    chance at life, she couldn''t fix it.


    "Don''t worry, it won''t happen again,” she mumbled.


    In the past, she would''ve readily agreed to his suggestion. But now, she had no interest whatsoever.


    Although she loved him for eight years, and old habits die hard, she simply didn''t have the energy to


    love him anymore.


    “It''s alright,” she said apathetically. "Let''s just stick to our original n and go through with the divorce


    at the agreed time. You don''t have to change anything."


    Sage seemed to have changed after she woke up from her suicide attempt. The reason she had tried


    to Kill herself was because he didn''t celebrate their fifth anniversary with her.


    Hence,n felt like this was the crux. It was at least one of the reasons that triggered her desire for a


    divorce. Since he had found the root cause, everything would be fine after he addressed it.


    Althoughn thought he hade up with the perfect solution, Sage was not impressed. In fact, she


    even sneered at him. n, our problem isn''t just about an anniversary. You''re not someone who fusses


    over such things, so don''t try to make up for your guilt with these gestures.” "Do you really think this is


    just a way for me to make up for my mistakes, Sage?" he asked through gritted teeth.


    "What else could it be?" she shot back.


    His expression hardened. "Why did you risk your life to protect me in that dangerous situation if you


    don''t have any feelings for me? I want to have a proper conversation with you, but you''re acting like


    you want nothing to do with me. Don''t you think your actions are a little contradictory?"


    Sage responded, “What happened tonight was an ident. If it had been anyone else I know, like


    Tiana or even Mr. Zane, I would''ve protected them too."This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.
