“Okay, I’ll go now. Don’t worry!” said Braxton to Yeva.
Meanwhile, Leah was in the car together with Sage. She was worried sick on the way back.
“Sage, I’m afraid my father will do something to hurt you, I won’t be able to…”
Sage tilted her head and saw Leah’s eyes filled with sorrow. She let out a faint smile and said, “Silly
girl, he’s still able to hurt me even if I didn’t say those things to him. A leopard can’t change his spots.
I’ll be damned if my voice wasn’t heard.”
“But, I’m still worried..” said Leah quietly.
“What are you still worried about? That he’ll deliberately hurt me or set me up?” Sage finished Leah’s
sentences.
Leah looked down shamefully for having a father like Zane.
Sage looked up with a faint smile and said, “Don’t worry, he’s got nothing on me. Zane and Braxton are
disgusting roaches that should be eliminated. Just let them be.”
To Sage, it’s easier to bring it up to the light with these two than fighting in the dark. After all, it was
more fun to start a war than get thrown into one. “Will you be unhappy that I said these about your
father?” Sage asked Leah.
She shook her head and replied with a self-mocking tone, “Just now at the office, as you were fighting
for me, he didn’t even bat an eye on me or felt sorry for hitting me. He no longer had my interest at
heart, so why should I need to pay respect to such a person?”
Sage looked at Leah and sighed, “It’s okay to leave a toxic relationship even if that person is your
father. You don’t have to feel guilty or blame yourself for that.”
Tears rolled down her cheeks as Leah pursed her lips tightly. She had been wronged her entire life in
the Norah household, but now she felt even worse than before.
Tell me, why did he have me if he didn’t love me?” Leah asked tearfully..
Sage hugged Leah tightly and caressed her head, “He’s not fit to be a human being, not to mention a
father.”
“I miss Uncle Sawyer and Aunty Primrose,” cried Leah. She was grateful to have been loved by Sage’s
parents who treated her as their own
Tears welled up in Sage’s eyes as well. She missed them too. Which was why she would never let their
murderer free. The war between her and the vicious uncles would not be too far away.
