A Farewell After Being Reborn novel Chapter 236

"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?"

Ian 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. Ian'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?" Ian 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."

Ian 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?" Ian 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.

Ian 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 Ian's words.

The car pulled up in front of a hospital after a few minutes. Terry went to register Sage while Ian accompanied her to the doctor's office.

Ian 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?"
