Dexter explained, “He decided yesterday. He said he was an old friend
who lives in Colville that he hadn’t seen in ages. He’s sick now, so he’s
afraid that he won’t have a chance to see him again if he doesn’t go
now.”Then, it hit her. In her previous life, her grandfather had an accident on
his way to Colville. He was hit by a speeding car and injured his back
and legs. Even though he was sent to the hospital in time, he never
fully recovered.Later on, he had another fall in the yard while he was sunbathing. The
doctors said the nerves in his legs were severely damaged, and the fall
caused a comminuted fracture. He was permanently confined to a
wheelchair after that incident.Her nose started to tingle, and tears welled up in her eyes as she
thought about her grandfather, who was in a wheelchair in her previous
life.”Don’t worry, Sage. I’ll take good care of Mr. Joyner Senior,” Dexter
said. “Anyway, I’m hanging up now. I need to pack his luggage.”
“Dexter, when are you guys leaving?” Sage asked in a hoarse voice.
Dexter didn’t think much of it. “We’re planning to catch the 2:00 pm
flight. We’ll head to the airport after lunch.”Sage said, “Could you please send me Grandpa’s ID? I’ll book the
plane tickets, and I’ll also accompany him to Colville.”Dexter responded, “It’s alright. Mr. Joyner Senior said you were busy.
He’s only going to be away for three or four days. He’ll be fine with
having me around.”Sage insisted, “I’m not busy at all. I’d like to go with him.”In this life, she would never let her grandfather get into another
accident. She had to personally accompany him and watch after him to
be at ease.Besides, she could return a day before Linda’s birthday after spending
a few days out of town with her grandfather. Then, she would be able to
get the divorce certificate after celebrating Linda’s birthday. Plus, she
wouldn’t have to see lan every day.Dexter relented. “Alright, I’ll go inform Mr. Joyner Senior right now.”
Tiana’s call came through immediately after she hung up on Dexter.
Sage answered it and calmly told her about what had happened last
night.Of course, she omitted the fact that she went to the clinic because her
hand was injured. After all, Tiana would definitely make a fuss if she
learned about it, and Sage wasn’t in the mood to listen to her nagging.
“Wait, what? That bitch pinned the blame on you? lan suspects you as
well?” As expected, Tiana was furious.Sage, on the other hand, remained calm. She even stood up for lan.
“He’s just being objective. After all, the evidence points to me.”
“Bullshit! Where does it show that you’re the one who switched her
medications? I doubt the process of elimination can prove it was you.
I’m pretty sure that bitch must’ve staged the whole thing!””Well, she managed to pull it off, then.” Sage told Tiana she had
actually touched Ivy’s medicine bag. “If they check for fingerprints,
they’ll find mine on it.”Tiana grumbled, “That was just an accident. How could you have
known that Ivy would be so ruthless? I can’t believe she would risk her
life and ingest the wrong medication. Isn’t she afraid of death?”Ads by NetpubIvy really did go all out to make lan despise Sage. She had not only
asked Delilah to humiliate her in front of him, but she also staged that
incident at the party where she injured herself with the falling
chandelier.Ivy was even more ruthless this time. She took two kinds of medication
she knew would harm her body.It would take forever to rant about this whole thing, so she decided to
change the subject. “Forget about her. I’m busy, and I need to pack my
bags and accompany my grandfather to Colville.””Please don’t tell me you’re attempting to run away, Sage.” Tiana
doubted her motives for traveling to Colville.Sage asked, “Tiana, if you were hurt in a relationship, would you
choose to run away?”
