“Do you think I’m referring to that?””What exactly are you referring to, then?””Sneak some classified information out of lan Holcomb’s laptop for me,”
Shane requested with all seriousness.”Mr. Morrison, it’s illegal to steal. I’m a model citizen, you know.”
“Anyone else doing so would be committing theft. As his wife, all you’re
doing is getting some information from your husband.” His argument
rendered Sage speechless.She was familiar with Shane’s working style after collaborating with him
for a while. He could not seriously be asking for any classified
information. She deduced that Giselle Rosethorn was the reason he
asked her for help.After a brief moment of silence, she said, “Hasn’t Ms. Rosethorn had
enough? What do you want me to do?””You’re smart,” he said. “Giselle heard from someone that you’re
starting work at Farsight Investment next month. She wants to join
you.””So?””I think you need an assistant.”“No, I don’t!””We have a deal!” With that, Shane hung up on Sage. She was
dumbstruck by his rash action.She thought, “Damn it, Shane Morrison! Why are you stirring up more
trouble for me?”He arranged for Giselle to be Sage’s assistant, even though he was
fully aware of Giselle’s hostility toward Sage. Sage thought he was
insane.Feeling frustrated, she kicked the weeds by the flower garden. The
weeds, seemingly retaliating against her, sprung back. She angrily
stepped on them and snapped, “Try me!””Pfft!” She heard a chuckle from behind. She turned around and found
a friendly-looking man in his mid-twenties. He donned athleisure wear
and wore a pair of glasses. He looked familiar.”Sage, what a coincidence! I never thought I’d run into you here.” He
approached her with a smile.From his voice, she finally recognized him as Thomas’ grandson,
Zachary Brent. After years of not meeting each other, Zachary had
shed his youthful naivete and grown mature. He looked refreshed and
warm.Zachary was four years older than Sage, which was why Donald asked
him to see Sage as a younger sister. Such a relationship might have
been quite cheesy for others, but he and Sage got along pretty well.
Despite years of separation, there was no awkwardness between the
two.She graciously greeted him. “Zack!”He smiled at her. “Grandpa told me that you and Donald arrived
yesterday. I had wanted to pick you up from the airport, but I couldn’t
make it because I landed at midnight. Sorry about that.”She replied, “Don’t worry about Grandpa and I! You’re busy enough.
We get around just fine.”Beaming warmly at her, he suggested, “Grandpa must be chatting with
Donald. If you have time, do you want me to show you around the
hospital?””Sure.”The area near the hospital was suitable for walks. The last time Sage
met Zachary was in her sophomore year. They saved each other’s
contacts, but they never stayed in touch. However, they seemed totally
comfortable when they went for a walk together.When they returned to Thomas’ room, the two old men looked
delighted at their close relationship. Since Thomas needed to rest in
the afternoon, Sage left the hospital with Thomas.Over the next two days, Sage would go to the hospital with Donald in
the morning. In the afternoon, she’d accompany Donald to travel and
have fun in some elderly-friendly areas in Colville.By now, her hand injury had almost healed. She had taken off the
bandage. lan had not contacted her since the night he called her at the
hotel room.Three days before Linda’s birthday, Sage decided to travel home. On
her last day at Colville, she went on a stroll with Donald down a historic
cobblestone street while enjoying the scenery. She did not let go of his
hand for fear that he might lose his balance and twist his ankle.
