Chapter 224
Chapter 224Sage walked along a path paved with white pebbles, feeling uncomfortable. Tiana was right.She had overeaten.
lan noticed her knitted brows and figured she wasn't feeling well. He called Terry and asked, “Could you check if there’s adrugstore nearby? Have someone get me some antacids.”
Sage couldn’t help but think of her previous life when she heard that. She used to have occasional stomach pains as a result ofher excessive dieting. lan happened to be at home that night.
When she brought him a glass of milk, her stomach hurt so much that her face turned pale from the pain, and she almost spilledit. Yet, he didn’t even ask her what was wrong. He simply asked her to leave.
Meanwhile, she hadn’t made a sound just now, yet he noticed her discomfort and took the initiative to ask someone to get hersome medications.
“It seems that men can learn to be attentive,” she brooded. He had only been inattentive to her because he didn’t love her. 1Sage had also noticed his changes. He did seem to care more about her in this life compared to her previous life.
Even though she was still adamant about getting a divorce, she didn’t see the point in harboring resentment toward lan. After all,in this life, he hadn’t allowed Ivy to step all over her, nor had he neglected her. 1
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Is your stomach still acting up? Do you want to go to the hospital?” lan asked as he walkedover to her.
Sage shook her head. “No. I’m okay.”
Then, she spotted Terry. He was wearing a coat and holding a set of car keys. He was probably on his way to get her someantacids. “Mr. Zane,” she called out to him.
Terry felt a sudden pang of panic when he noticed Sage. After all, lan had given him a death stare, as if he had made a seriousmistake while he was reporting to him yesterday morning.
He racked his brain and thought of everything he had done since he joined Holcomb Corporation, but he still couldn’t figure outhow he had offended his boss.
He only figured it out when lan asked him, “What would happen if you were hit by a wineME

Trembling and confused, he answered, “I would... get injured?”
“Won't the person who takes the hit for you get injured?” lan shot daggers at him.Baffled, he gathered his courage and asked, “Who would take the hit for me?”
“Sage,” lan responded.
Terry was so startled that he dropped the documents he was holding onto the table, almost knocking over lan’s coffee mug. Hisvoice quivered as he stuttered, “M-—Mr. Holcomb, how could M—Mrs. Holcomb-”
“Don’t you dare show your face in front of Sage ever again,” lan ordered. “If you see her, take a detour!”
Terry didn’t dare to disobey him. Hence, he tried to blend into the background when he learned that Sage would be at the team—building event.
He didn’t go to the large swimming pool and stayed away from the hot springs that the girls liked to visit. He even kept hisdistance from Sage during mealtimes. However, she still spotted him.
Sage was standing in front of him at the moment. He couldn't avoid her even if he wanted to. “Mrs. Holcomb, do you needsomething?” he asked, uneasy.
Sage responded, “Give me the car keys. I’ll go to the drugstore myself so you don’t have to make the trip.”
