“Help us!” lan called out to the nurses in the corridor as he helped Ivy
up.The nurses rushed over. “The patient’s complexion is too pale! We
need to take her back to the ER and have the doctor check on her!”
lan placed Ivy on the bed. She was in so much pain that the color
drained from her lips. “I’m fine. Please, check on my father…”The nurses wheeled her to the emergency room while lan hastily
helped Ronald up.“Ivy! Ivy, what’s wrong? Are you alright?” The middle-aged man
staggered as he chased after his daughter. To prevent him from falling
again, lan supported him and guided him forward.Sage stood frozen in place as pain surged through her body. Her
husband, the man Tiana claimed didn’t want to get a divorce with her,
was now chasing after Ivy. He didn’t even spare her a glance, let alone
care if she was in pain.Blood dripped to the ground. Sage pulled out a tissue from her purse
and pressed it against the wound. Then, she took the elevator
downstairs. Instead of heading toward Terry’s car, she hailed a cab and
left.”Where to, Miss? Are you okay?” The driver asked after noticing that
Sage had remained silent for a while.Sage looked at the blood-stained tissue. “I’d like to go to a nearby
clinic.”The driver was confused because she had just stepped out of a
hospital. He wondered why she needed to go to a clinic.”The hospital has too many registration procedures,” Sage said
apathetically. “It’ll be more convenient at a clinic.”The driver bought her story. “It’s a good thing you ran into a local like
me. I know of a 24-hour clinic nearby. Most clinics are closed at this
hour.””Thanks.”Soon, she arrived at the clinic that the driver had mentioned. As a token
of appreciation, she gave him an extra 50 dollars. Sage walked straight
into the clinic after getting out of the cab.The doctor on duty noticed her bloodied palm and asked with concern,
“Oh, you poor thing. How did this happen?”Sage remained silent.Ads by NetpubThe female doctor fetched some disinfectant and tweezers. “Are you
here by yourself? Removing the glass shards and disinfecting the
wound is going to hurt like a bitch. I’m afraid you won’t be able to
handle it. Why don’t you call your boyfriend to keep you company?”
Sage shook her head. “It’s alright. Please just take care of it.”The doctor teased, “Please don’t tell me a beautiful lady like you still
doesn’t have a boyfriend?”Sage smiled. “I have a husband, but he’s busy accompanying someone
else and couldn’t make it.”The doctor noticed her reaction and understood what was going on.
“Your husband must be blind to leave his beautiful wife to accompany
someone else.”Sage smiled and remained silent. The female doctor stopped probing
and began to treat Sage’s wound. The process was painful. Most would
have carried out in pain, but Sage didn’t make a sound. In fact, she
didn’t even frown.The doctor was impressed. “You’re very brave.”Sage remained silent. This was nothing compared to the pain she had
experienced from her stomach cancer in her previous life. Her phone
rang after the doctor was almost done treating her wound. Sage
glanced at the caller ID and silenced her phone.The doctor asked knowingly, “Is it your husband?”
