The sky was star-studded. Under the night sky, Faye’s eyes were also twinkling. She kept
going on and on, talking about Sage. Jace listened quietly.
Her cousin had always been calm, reserved, intelligent, and outstanding. After she completed her
language studies abroad, she immediately started working at the Institute of Interpretation after she
returned.
They usually hardly conversed with each other. However, it was the first time Faye had said so much in
front of Jace, and her tone was filled with the unconcealable admiration she had for
Sage.
After she had said too much, Faye got a little embarrassed. Her expression became awkward. “I’m
sorry, Jace. I forgot that you and Sage are already divorced. I would like to ask her for some advice
about interpreting. Would you mind?”
Jace smiled calmly and responded, “No. Do you still keep in touch with each other?”
Faye nodded. “Yes. We even celebrated her birthday together as a group the last time. Sage has been
very nice to us…” The words came out quicker than her thoughts. As soon as Faye said that, she
realized she had accidentally divulged something. She hurriedly covered her mouth and shouted in her
heart, ‘Oh no! Oh, crap.’
As expected, Jace, who was sharp, immediately caught the main point of her words. “Group? What
group?”
They even celebrated Sage’s birthday together? How did he not know? At that moment, Faye was in
such a panic that she contemplated ending her life right there. Just as she thought of how to change
the subject, Zachary came back while skipping and hopping “Faye! Hey, Jace! Have you returned from
Brown City?” Faye gave a signal to her brother with her eyes. Zachary did not understand it, so he
came up to her. “What’s the matter, Faye? Something got in your eye? Come, I’ll help you to blow on it.
with that, he was going to pry Faye’s eyelids open. ‘This idiot! Faye slapped her brother’s hand. “No!
You don’t need to do it!”
Zachary was still stunned, but his neck was grabbed by a large hand in the next second, and he was
forced to lean back.
“Jace?”
“Zach, come with me. Let’s have a chat.” Jace grabbed Zachary and took him out to his yard. Zachary
stretched out his hand and asked Faye for help. “Faye!” It certainly would not be a good thing if Jace
was looking for him! Faye looked at her brother helplessly and sighed softly. The cat was out of the
bag. There was nothing Faye could do.
The rain in Salem City showed no signs of subsiding. Rosa Garden was bathed in the storm as well.
The doctor treated Yeva’s wounds. Since she was pregnant, many types of medication were unsuitable
for her. The doctor also handled her treatment very carefully.
Sage sat on the couch and scrolled her tablet to handle work matters. Her exhaustion was clearly
shown on her face. Leah, who was next to her, felt very heartbroken when she saw her like that.
“Sage, just go to bed. I’ll watch over Yeva.”
Sage pinched the bridge of her nose, and her voice was a little hoarse. “It’s fine. This bit of time is
hardly going to make any difference. Melody, is the child alright?”
Melody Samuel’s family practiced medicine for generations. She was young, but she was quite
accomplished in the medical field. She lifted her youthful face and smiled at Sage. “The child is fine. I
can feel that the pulse is still very strong, so the child is still full of vigor.”
Sage knew that Melody’s often exaggerated her speech, but when she heard how she described it,
Sage’s temple could not help but twitch. She was speechless. As expected, the child would take after
the father.
Melody continued to put ointment on Yeva’s ankle. She kept rambling on in her child-like voice.
“We’ll be done after we apply it once more. This is an ointment that I specially made. I named it the
‘Invincible Beauty Super Pill’. It initially looks like goat manure, but don’t judge the medicine by its
cover.
“As long as it’s mixed with some water, it’ll become an ointment that’s great for the skin. I promise that
you won’t have any scars. Your skin will be as smooth and supple as before. Even though your skin is
not that smooth and supple… In short, it’s just amazing!”
