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

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

Frankly, she did feel a little swollen and ufortable, and it was a little painful to walk. But she didn''t

something like that.
"I''m perfectly fine!" Sage eximed before swinging the door open and walking out.n reached out,

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.
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 exined coolly.
Sage politely declined. "That won''t be necessary. What happenedst night was just an ident. I
don''t need a bodyguard or a chauffeur. Even if I
did, I''d find one on my own."
use him for now. We can talk about it when you find someone else."
Sage didn''t want to argue withn 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. Prisci''s call
came through as soon as she powered on her
phone. The former had already heard about what happenedst night.
"Benjamin must be out of his mind, Sage. How could he pin all the me on you and kidnap you? I will
not let him get away with this!"
Prisci said through gritted teeth,

Sage, apanied byn, recounted the events of the previous night. Josephine called and invited
them toe over for lunch as soon as they left
the police station. Sage politely declined and said they''de over after lunch.
"Let''s head back to Sris Estate first. I need to change and put on some makeup," Sage toldn, who
