When she opened the door, she saw Jace standing at the door with a worried expression.”
What‘s wrong? Is your wound hurting?”
Sage frowned, looking at the dark circles under his eyes. “Did you
stay up all night, keeping watch at the door?” she questioned.
Jace shook his head. “No. I‘m just passing by.” ‘Passing by? Who‘d believe you!‘ thought Sage. Jace sc
ratched his head under Sage‘s intense glare. He changed his story and said, “I‘m just standing here for
a little while.”
Actually, he had not slept all night. He feared he would wake up and go back to the past as if everythin
g was just a dream.
He felt relieved when he saw Sage. Only then would he feel rooted in reality.
Sage looked at Jace and said nothing.
Jace‘s gaze shifted to Sage‘s arm and furrowed his brow when he saw blood oozing from the white ban
dage. “Did the wound open up? Let me see.”
Sage moved too much when she stretched earlier. The stitch on the wound was slightly affected, but it
was not a big issue.
Jace took the medical kit and treated Sage. He held the cotton balls with a tweezer and carefully dress
ed her wound. He
carefully inquired, “Does it hurt?” “Yes, but it‘s not that bad.” Sage was not paying attention to
her wounds. She was staring at Jace intently and observed him from head to toe. When she recalled hi
s skillful drive and athletic body when they met yesterday, she could not help but sigh softly. She mutter
ed, “I guess I‘m the one who lost.”
“Hm?” Jace looked up in confusion. Both Jace and Yale got into a serious car accident
together. Jace‘s injuries should have been worse than Yale‘s. However, he recovered better than Yale. I
n this case, it was the difference in the doctor’s skills. The older, the
wiser. She only learned part of her mom‘s medical skills that could bring dead people back to life.
The famous Dr. S was unable to win against Dr. Rose, who was also known as the ‘Hand of God‘.
Sage pursed her lower lips. “My mom‘s skill is better than mine.”
Jace heard the frustration and childish defiance in her voice. He smiled and comforted her,” It‘s okay. Y
ou‘re still young. You have many years of training ahead of you.” “Yeah.” Sage was pleased
to hear that. “I‘m younger than her.” Jace could not help but laugh at Sage‘s reply. He recalled what ha
ppened while on the island and Primrose‘s commitment to comparing herself to her daughter in terms o
f beauty, youthfulness, and elegance.
This mother and daughter were truly an interesting pair. After Jace treated Sage‘s wound, he asked her
, “Do you need to wash your face and put on makeup? I can help.”
Sage remembered his skills when he removed her makeup yesterday and became curious about his m
akeup skills. She wanted to see how he did it, so she agreed. “Okay. Let‘s do it.”
The beauty adviser Jace was back to work. First, he wetted a cotton pad and cleaned Sage‘s face. Afte
r completing the skin care process, he helped her to apply the foundation. Sage let Jace do his thing an
d asked, “Did Tim and Kane meet up with my parents?”
Jace looked at Sage and pressed his lips, unable to say anything for a moment. He was trying to phrase

“And what happened?”
“He hid the news from me!” “That‘s outrageous!”
Sage just would not stop complaining and kept rambling on. Jace listened to her rambles and smiled. He
