Sage had clearly gone through a lot of suffering and ingested some illegal drugs.
"Mr. Hob, Benjamin Xenith has disappeared!" Terry reported.
"Mr. Hob, leave this to me. Please send Mrs. Hob to the hospital now," Terry suggested.
Without wasting any time,n picked up a disoriented Sage and ced her in the car. He rushed her to
the nearest hospital.
Fortunately, the doctor''s assessment revealed that she suffered no injuries except for the p mark on
her face and some rope abrasions on her wrists. However, she very likely ingested some kind of
hallucinogen, judging from the state of her.
The doctor stated, “It''s not advisable to get her stomach pumped. That''ll only make her suffer
needlessly. Patients who have ingested hallucinogens typically do not suffer any long-term effects, so
it''s best to allow her to recuperate naturally. Since she appears calm now, it''s safe for her to rest at
home under supervision.”
The hospital was too far from Sris Estate. Hence,n booked a room in the hotel next to the hospital
for Sage. Staying near the hospital would allow them convenient ess in case she felt unwell.
After booking the room,n brought Sage up to their room and ced her on the bed. He was about to
fetch a wet towel to wipe her clean when she grabbed his waist. She moaned, ny, please don''t go..."
ording to the doctor, hallucinogens would affect the nervous system, leading to confusion of time
and space. Hence, he assumed that Sage was suffering just that.
Since she was reluctant to let go of him, he sat beside her on the bed. She immediately wriggled into
his arms and pressed her warm cheek against his cool skin.
ny, you finally visited me after one year. Have you investigated the case and cleared my name?"
Sage mumbled in a low voice. "The people here are hostile. I don''t want to stay here any longer. Bring
me home now..."n couldn''t understand her rambling, but he felt sorry for her regardless. Kissing her
on the forehead, he said, "Just rest. You''re fine now."
When she felt his kiss on her skin, she opened her eyes. As she stared atn''s handsome face, her
zed eyes twinkled in excitement, and tears rolled down her face. ny, you''re finally here to see me!
You''ve looked into the case, right? See, I had nothing to do with it!"
Looking sympathetic, he yed along, nodding. "Yeah."
Seeing the apologetic look in his eyes, she consoled him, ny, everything''s fine now if you discovered
the truth. I won''t me you for keeping me locked up here..."
As she spoke, she reached out to caress his face. "Since the truth''s out, will you finally love me?"
The warmth of her fingertips jolted him. Composing himself, he nodded and said lowly, "Yes."
Hearing that, she copsed in his embrace and cried her heart out. ny, the day I waited for has finally
come. I''m so happy. Hug me! Let me know it''s not just a dream!"
He hugged her back tightly, his heart aching at the sight of her petite and fragile frame crying in his
arms. He couldn''t help but whisper in her ear, "Sage, why do you insist on a divorce if you still have
feelings for me?"
"A divorce?" She lifted her head. Her eyes, nose, and cheeks were red from her crying. It made her
appear more attractive and vulnerable.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.
