A Farewell After Being Reborn novel Chapter 268

There were red marks on her wrist from being tied up by ropes last night, although they had faded a lot overnight.

Then, she suddenly remembered she had caught a whiff of this scent when she was taking a shower just now. Had Ian used the same ointment on her wrist last night?

"The hospital's right next door. If you're feeling unwell or are in severe pain, we can head there and get you treated first," Ian offered.

Sage felt her cheeks heat up again. Even though he wasn't specific, both of them understood what he meant.

Frankly, she did feel a little swollen and uncomfortable, and it was a little painful to walk. But she didn't have the nerve to go to the hospital for something like that.

"I'm perfectly fine!" Sage exclaimed before swinging the door open and walking out. Ian reached out, wrapped his arm around her waist, and led her out of the hotel when he noticed her awkward gait.

Terry was already waiting for them in the parking lot. He lowered his head when he noticed the hickeys on Sage's neck and Ian's hold on her. "Good day, Mr. and Mrs. Holcomb," he greeted respectfully.

Terry then pointed to the man who was with him and said, "This is Ralph. He's extremely skilled at combat and driving." The man named Ralph greeted the couple.

Ian nodded at him. "From now on, Ralph here will be your designated driver, Sage."

Sage looked perplexed. "Why do I need a driver?"

"It's just to make things easier for you. He can double as your bodyguard when you're out and about," Ian explained coolly.

Sage politely declined. "That won't be necessary. What happened last night was just an accident. I don't need a bodyguard or a chauffeur. Even if I did, I'd find one on my own."

Sage understood that Priscilla needed to do this for herself, so she let her be. The car arrived at the police station as she conversed with Priscilla. Terry had already spoken to the police and told them Sage was coming to make a statement.

Sage, accompanied by Ian, recounted the events of the previous night. Josephine called and invited them to come over for lunch as soon as they left the police station. Sage politely declined and said they'd come over after lunch.

"Let's head back to Solaris Estate first. I need to change and put on some makeup," Sage told Ian, who agreed.

On the way back, she suddenly thought of something. Sage asked the driver, "Could you check if there's a drugstore nearby? I need to make a quick stop."

Ian turned to her and asked, "What's wrong? Let's just go to the hospital."
