lan’s expression darkened when he heard that. “Do you not want to apply the ointment because you want Grandma to noticesomething’s wrong?”
Sage was rendered speechless. Forget it. She shouldn’t neglect her health. Besides, she could smell the ointment emanatingfrom him. This meant that he had already applied it, so he was probably more experienced than Wanda in this regard.
Sage settled back into the chair and pulled her loungewear back a tad. “Please help me apply the ointment like this.”
Even though he seemed uninterested, there was no telling whether he would suddenly get in the mood. Hence, sitting was thesafer option.
lan didn’t seem to mind. He walked up to her and warmed the ointment in his hands before applying it to her shoulders.
Sage couldn’t help but wince in pain as his warm palm touched her wound. However, lan applied steady pressure and massagedher shoulder. It hurt, but the cooling sensation of the ointment and the warmth of his hands made her feel oddly satisfied.
He massaged her shoulder for half an hour. Sage noticed she was sweating at the tip of her nose halfway through. lan, who wasdoing all the work, was probably sweating even more,
Sage doubted Wanda would have been able to do it as well as lan, so she temporarily set aside her animosity toward lan.
After the massage, lan left her room without another word, which surprised Sage a little. She couldn't believe that the astutebusinessmen hadn’t made any demands of her.
Later that night, she sensed lan slipping into the bed as she slept. Sage assumed he couldn’t be bothered to move to the guestroom since there were only a few days left before they got divorced. Hence, she paid him no mind and continued to sleepsoundly.
However, lan was nowhere to be found when Sage woke up the next day. She went downstairs to eat breakfast. In the middle ofher meal, she received a call from Priscilla, asking her to
come over to Mimosa.“Don't you ever take a break, Priscilla?” Sage teased, “You sure are a workaholic.”
Mimosa’s business had been relatively stable recently, and Priscilla had been working hard. She had been spending most of hertime at the company, and many had praised her for her dedication.
“It can’t be helped. Everything has just settled down, and | can’t afford to let my guard down. Priscilla smiled. “I called you over togive you an update on how things are going. After all,
1/2you're a shareholder, so you should at least care about it a little.”
Sage smiled as well. “With you in charge, there’s nothing | have to worry about. I’m just waiting for Mimosa to get listed. Then, I'llreap a huge profit from my Investment.”
“You deserve it. Mimosa might've caved under Benjamin's pressure if | hadn’t been for you.” Priscilla paused before continuing,“By the way, Sage, | got word that Benjamin might be released soon.”
“Wasn't he just detained not long ago? How could he be released so soon?” puzzled.
