Sage finally woke up after a long time. She felt a bitter taste in her mouth. It was the aftertaste of
medicine pills. Fuzzily, Sage thought she was back in Mostal. “She’s awake! She’s awake!” Sage heard
screaming from the side and she opened her eyes to a bunch of people by her side, and Jace’s face
was the largest. Laura, Kane, Ross, Luther, Yoel, Melody, and Henry were all present. Sage frowned
and asked with a hoarse voice, “Why are you all here?”
Jace looked worried and asked, “Sage, how are you feeling?” “Bitter.” Sage licked her lips and said one
word, “Water.” “Water, water! Quickly, get Sage some water!” Melody poured a cup and it passed a few
people and it finally landed in Jace’s hands. Sage was held up and she took the cup from Jace and
finished half of it. She looked up and there were more people. Freya and the entire Yuriel family were
there.
“Pfft – “Sage choked on the water and coughed a little. They all looked at Jace frowning, “You can’t
even feed her water properly? Are you an idiot?” Grandpa Yuriel scolded Jace.
Grandma Yuriel was impatiently saying, “What are you waiting for? Wipe it off for her!” Freya Yuriel
pushed her wheelchair forward and said, “She choked on water. Quickly, pat her…” Jace put down the
cup immediately and gave Sage some kleenex and started patting her back, as he patted her twice,
almost everyone yelled at the same time, “Softer!”
He almost went deaf. Sweat rolled down from his forehead. Sage felt much better after a few sips of
water. She looked at Ross disgruntled, “Did you force feed me medicine while I was unconscious?”
“Yup.” Ross said unfazed, “I upped the dosage. It’s for your own good.” Sage felt speechless. Kane,
Luther, and Jace all looked at Ross and they were not pleased, “You shouldn’t bully her, said Luther.”
Yoel smiled and took a deep breath, and it reminded him not to make enemies with medical
practitioners.
Everyone was relieved now that Sage was awake.
Quest chased everyone out of the ward as his patient needed more rest time. Grandpa and Grandma
Yuriel made an appointment with Quest for a routine check and picked up a few bottles of supplements
since they were already there.
Grandma Yuriel couldn’t help but stare at the handsome young Quest.
“How old are you, doctor?”
“25 this year,” replied Quest with a smile. “You’re so young to be a head of the health center
Do you have a girlfriend?”
“No, Madam,” Quest replied, still smiling. Grandma smiled brightly and said, “That’s good, that’s good.
Our girl Faye is single too.” Faye stood behind her and nudged at her grandma awkwardly,
“Grandma…!” Why was her Grandma hooking her up?
It was still crowded in Sage’s ward. As the Yuriel family left the room, Kane and the brothers
surrounded Sage.
