“I haven’t done anything wrong! You called me over to the hospital to
grill me, but you still think I shouldn’t have left? Do I have to wait for you
to pin a crime on me and get on all fours before your Uncle Ron and Ivy
to apologize before I can leave?”lan was stumped. Terry couldn’t take it anymore. He frantically signaled
to the driver to lower the partition, or he would be caught in the
crossfire. lan’s frustration could no longer be suppressed after the
partition was lowered.”Sage Joyner, are you saying I’ve wronged you? Can you honestly say
that your fingerprints weren’t on that bag of medications? Or that you
weren’t upset because of Ivy’s appearance before we went to the
drugstore?”Of course, he had the fingerprints checked.“Ivy’s just an employee at my company who was promoted to director
because she was qualified for it. I allowed you to pick any position you
wanted at my company’s headquarters, but you turned it down. Yet, you
still can’t stand Ivy. What the hell do you want?” lan asked.“I just want to stay far far away from you guys. Haven’t I told you that
before?” Sage sneered. “It’s you who’s dragging your feet and refusing
to sign the divorce agreement to give Ivy peace of mind. So, she had to
resort to such extreme measures because of you!””Do you seriously think someone would joke about her own body and
safety?””Yeah. Ivy just did.”lan was once again rendered speechless. He felt restless and
frustrated as he looked at her cold gaze and wry smile. Just yesterday,
she was still lying in his arms shyly. But now, she was treating him as if
he were a stranger.”Can’t you be reasonable, Sage?” lan wanted to pull her into his arms
to feel her supple body against his. However, Sage dodged his
advances.Undeterred, he lunged at Sage, who realized she couldn’t dodge him
anymore. So, she pushed him away with both hands.But as she did so, lan managed to grab one of them. Sage hissed in
pain and tears welled up in her eyes.”Why’s your hand bandaged?” He noticed something was amiss and
looked at the small hand in his palm. “Were you injured? Why didn’t
you tell me when I asked you about it?”Sage pulled her hand back, her voice raspy from the pain. “It’s none of
your business.”She kept her left hand hidden under her coat when she got into the car
because she didn’t want lan to find out about her injuries. She had
instinctively used both of her hands just now because she was in a
pinch.Ads by Netpub”Go to the nearest hospital,” lan ordered the driver.Sage refused. “I want to go to my grandfather’s place, not the hospital!”
lan gazed at her. “Do you think your grandfather wouldn’t be worried if
he saw you like this?”lan was a bit rough just a moment ago, causing her wound to reopen.
The white bandage was now stained with blood. Her grandfather would
be worried if he saw it. Plus, she couldn’t leave her wound unattended,
either.There was no reason for her to harm herself just because she was
upset. Sage kept quiet after hearing lan’s words.The car pulled up in front of a hospital after a few minutes. Terry went
to register Sage while lan accompanied her to the doctor’s office.lan noticed several wounds of varying sizes on her hand after the
doctor removed the bandage. The wounds looked like some kind of
debris had caused them. Several of them had already formed dark red
scabs which were oozing blood. The blood looked particularly jarring
against her fair palm.He felt a pang of guilt, and his tone softened as he asked, “What
happened?”
