"Thorn's life matters too. I need to save it!" Abby struggled to break free so she could run back to the suite. As she barged forward, she nearly shoved Sage to the ground. Thankfully, Ian was quick to respond and grabbed both women, saving Sage from falling and stopping Abby from running back into danger."The firefighters are here. They will save the cat," he reminded Abby sternly.Sage turned around, and as expected, the firefighters had arrived at the scene. Abby immediately begged them through tears, "My cat is in there. Please save it first!"After the firefighters promised to save Thorn, Abby was guided to the emergency exit with Ian and Sage's help.The other hotel guests, who were warned of the fire, flooded into the emergency exit and descended the stairs. The emergency exit was fully packed, and there was a risk of a stampede.Ian, worried for Sage, hugged her tightly. As a result, she could not grab onto Abby. However, Abby had calmed down by now. "Don't worry

Dale's classiness was reflected in the courteous attitude of his staff. They held Abby's belongings for her, and they walked out of the hotel. As they did so, Abby spotted Ian. She greeted him politely."Mr. Holcomb, what a coincidence! Did you come back from grabbing some snacks?"He asked her flatly, "Ms. Sutton, where are you headed to?"Abby briefly summed up Dale's arrangements. She added, "Mr. Holcomb, I'm really sorry about today. I gave you and Ms. Joyner trouble. "Just now, I was a little scared of spending the night alone, and I invited Ms. Joyner to share the room with me. I'm sorry if that affected your recovery." She was being adorably forthright. Ian cast a glance at Sage without a word. "Well, I shall leave now. Goodbye!" Abby waved at them and hopped into the backseat of the shiny car that came to pick her up.After Abby left, Sage blurted out, "Is Ms. Sutton's father a powerful figure?"Ian replied, "Dale Sutton is a capable heir of a distinguished family. H

Oh, right. Sage came to realize that her Iany would never treat her so tenderly. She must have been dreaming. That would explain her lack of joy and excitement when he held her hand. Was it because it was a dream?"Want some water, my Sage?" Ian pressed a hand on her forehead.Before she nodded, she suddenly had flashbacks of Ian's attorney sternly ordering her to sign the divorce papers. She thought, "Ah, no wonder he's so nice to me. He wants to coax me into signing the divorce papers!"Shoving him away without warning, she recoiled. "You're wrong to think you can talk me into signing the divorce papers by being nice to me. I do not agree to the divorce!"Shocked, he paused and took a seat on the bed. He questioned, "My Sage, are we divorced or not?"Tears streamed down her face upon hearing that. Emotions running high, she yelled, "I won't file for divorce! I won't! I want to meet with Grandma! She won't agree to that. You can't force me to sign the papers!'Ian studied her fl

"I pleaded with Grandma, asking for permission to accompany you abroad, hoping to salvage what was left of our relationship. "However, our first night overseas turned into a nightmare when Ivy fell victim to a robbery and arson. When the culprit was arrested, he accused me of being the mastermind."You refused to listen to my explanations and had me locked up at a mental institution for two years. You sent your attorney to make me sign the divorce papers, clearing the path for your marriage to Ivy."Tearing up, she continued, "I lived a hellish life in the mental institution. I even developed stomach cancer from malnourishment. I decided to visit Grandpa's grave one last time because I did not have much time left."I even offered up Grandma's bracelet for a chance to meet with you. No matter how much I begged you, you refused to release me from the mental institution, all because you were afraid I'd ruin your wedding with Ivy…"Her voice cracked as memories of Ian's callous attit

Last night, Ian had spent the night hugging Sage in their sleep, but she clearly did not plan to reconcile with him. Not only that, she even hurt him with words.Ian asked the stewardess for a blanket and decided to sleep instead. Sage didn't seem irked by his actions. She quipped, "Thanks in advance, then!"After that, she spent some time admiring the bracelet before organizing the photo gallery on her phone. Two hours later, they touched down at Haldon City. Immediately after alighting, she received a call from Shane, who was waiting for her at the airport. Some passengers spotted Ian when they disembarked and initiated a conversation with him. Seeing that, she left without waiting.Shane waited for her at the airport parking. He had arrived in a high-profile, eye-catching sportscar and was dressed up in a white suit. With his sunglasses on, he leaned against the car, looking handsome and roguish."Sage Joyner! Over here!" He removed his sunglasses and approached her while
