A Farewell After Being Reborn novel Chapter 244

"Do you think I'm referring to that?"

"What exactly are you referring to, then?"

"Sneak some classified information out of Ian 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.

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. Ian 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.
