A Farewell After Being Reborn

She would be in a difficult position if lan was injured and used it as an excuse to delay the divorce. Sage felt much more relaxed as she thought of that.

Not long after, Calvin came into the ward. "Mrs. Holcomb, lan's injuries have been checked out. He stayed up all night watching over you, so I asked him to get some rest at my place first."

Sage nodded.

"Mrs. Holcomb, lan also took quite a hit to his lower back. The doctor said it would be best for him to stay in the hospital for a few days. But since lan's too busy to rest, the doctor prescribed him some medication to improve blood flow and alleviate his pain. He needs to apply it and massage the area every day.” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

She couldn't believe it. Was he asking her to apply the medication for lan? Sage chuckled and pointed to her shoulder. "Unfortunately, I injured my shoulder and can't exert much force. I'm afraid I can't help him."

In her previous life, she was pushed by lan and injured her lumbar spine. She had to rest for half a month before it recovered. lan had only bumped into the corner of a table, so he got off easy.

Calvin changed the subject. "That's alright, Mrs. Holcomb. But his injury is on his side, so he can apply the medicine himself. Mrs. Holcomb, since you can't massage your own shoulder, why don't you let lan do it for you?"

Sage declined. "It's okay. Wanda will be back tomorrow. She can help me out then.”

Calvin paused for a moment before apologizing. "Mrs. Holcomb, please don't take all the nonsense I have said to you in the past to heart. I've had a bad habit of running my mouth.”

Of course, she didn't take it to heart. The reason he didn't think much of her was because lan never took her seriously. It was only natural for his friends not to take her seriously as well.

Sage chuckled. "It's okay, you weren't spouting nonsense. I indeed used to cling to lan, so it's not surprising that you felt the need to stand up for him."

Calvin cleared his throat. "Mrs. Holcomb, I heard Ms. Ford works at the hospital. Will she be stopping by tomorrow?"

“No. She doesn't work here, but she said she'd drop by. Do you need her for something?" she asked.

"It's nothing. I just wanted to thank her for what she did last night."

"I see. I'l let her know when she comes around tomorrow.”

"Thanks, Mrs. Holcomb." Calvin pulled out his phone. "By the way, let's exchange contact information. It'll make it easier to contact each other in the future if anything comes up.”

Those words sounded familiar. In the past, she had wanted to get Calvin's contact information to get to know lan better, but he had turned her down.

“I don't see why we would have to contact each other in the future. So there's no need to exchange our contact information." Sage used his words against him.

He had no idea Sage was so vengeful. lan was in for it now. After all, it wouldn't be easy to win her back after he treated Sage like garbage in the past.

Calvin returned to his ward, where lan was resting with his eyes closed. He opened his eyes when he heard Calvin walk in. His expression was unreadable.

Calvin sighed. "It's a lost cause. Mrs. Holcomb isn't having any of it. She won't help you, nor will she accept your help. She even refused my request to exchange contact information.”

"Huh? You asked for her contact information?" lan arched his brow. “That's not the point, lan." Calvin was rendered speechless. "I wanted to get her contact information so I could keep an eye on her and see if I could find any opportunities for you."

lan had known him for years, so he could see right through him. He scoffed.
