Sage could tell he was concerned, but she found it extremely ironic. So,
she shut her mouth and remained silent.”What else could have happened? It was either caused by gravel or
glass shards,” said the doctor.lan thought of something. “Is it the glass shards from the trash can?”
Sage chose to remain silent yet again. The doctor chided, “How could
you be so careless when you knew you were injured? The scab had
just formed as well. You’re going to have to go through the pain all over
again.”“It’s my fault. I had no idea she had injured her hand, so I grabbed her
hand a bit too forcefully.” lan took the blame upon himself.The doctor adjusted his glasses and looked up at lan. “Are you her
husband? How were you not aware that your wife was injured?”lan, who had always been high and mighty, was embarrassed at that
moment. He cleared his throat and said, “It was pretty hectic at the
time.””So you were there, but you have no idea how your wife got injured?”
The doctor’s eyes widened in surprise. “What could be more important
than your wife’s well-being?”lan was at a loss for words. Sage, on the other hand, was secretly
thrilled. In the past, she would’ve definitely come to his defense. But
she thought he deserved it now!”Please don’t tell me your marriage was arranged, young lady. Is that
why you have no feelings for each other?” asked the doctor.Sage smiled wistfully. “Yeah, you could say that.” Even though it wasn’t
the whole truth, he did marry her to please his grandmother. Truth be
told, he had no feelings for her.”Are you here to treat patients or to gossip?” lan frowned and asked the
doctor, “Where are your ethical principles?”The doctor took another look at lan, noting his impressive stature and
elegant demeanor. He whispered, “Young lady, don’t just go for
someone good-looking when you’re looking for a husband. Find
someone who genuinely cares about you.”Even though his voice was soft, lan wasn’t deaf. His expression
darkened as he threatened, “Believe it or not, you’ll lose your medical
license if you don’t finish treating her wound within five minutes.”The doctor was at a loss for words. He could tell lan wasn’t someone to
be trifled with. Hence, he zipped his mouth and got to work. Five
minutes later, the doctor finished re-bandaging Sage’s wound.Sage thanked him and left the doctor’s office. lan trailed behind her
silently. Terry was no longer in the passenger seat when the couple got
back to the car.Ads by Netpub”Mr. Zane said he had to deal with something urgent at the company,
so he left,” said the driver.Sage turned to lan and said, “You can go back as well. I’ll let Grandpa
know that you brought him something.”lan glanced at her and instructed the driver to start the car. Sage didn’t
want to waste her breath on him either. She picked up the pastries
Wanda had packed her and started munching on them as she looked
out the window.”Didn’t you say you didn’t feel like eating anything just now?” he asked.
lan figured she chose not to eat earlier because she didn’t want him to
see her injured hand. He recalled Calvin’s advice and decided to
explain himself, “I had no idea you were injured last night. Uncle Ron
was in a hurry to see Ivy, so I thought I’d help him first before I—”
“Enough. You don’t have to explain yourself.” Sage cut him off. “You’re
not a doctor. Even if you knew, what could you do? It’s not like my
wound wouldn’t have healed on its own.”lan was rendered speechless again. It felt as if she had an invisible wall
around her. He couldn’t talk to her about what had happened last night
at all. lan had no choice but to drop the subject.He then pulled out a card from his wallet. “Here.”
