Laura kept her eyes on Kane. Still confused, she asked, “I thought dating it’s supposed to
involve both parties? Since when does dating only need one person’s approval?”
Laura was confused. Kane nodded. “It’s what the youngsters do these days.”
S
Youngsters.
To prove that she was still young, Laura tried to convince herself that Kane made sense.
.
Yoel, on the other hand, found Kane ridiculous.
“I never expect to see this side of you, Kane.”

Yoel smirked, “I’ve always thought that you were gay.”
Laura turned her head abruptly to look at Kane. “Are you gay?” “Of course not! Don’t listen to his
nonsense!”
Kane then glared at Yoel, seething, “Do you have a death wish?”
“Uh, no.”
Yoel added nonchalantly, “But if you wish to win over Laura, you better mind your manner when you’re
with me. After all, I have a bag of all your dirty little secrets.”
Kane simmered in anger. Yoel was unfazed.

It looked as if a fight was about to break out. “Are you guys about to fight? Give me a sec, let me move
further away.” Laura got up onto her feet and walked toward a corner that was further away from where
Kane and Yoel were. Squatting down with her back leaned against the wall, she then said to them,”
Alright, you can start now.”
Yoel was confused.
Kane arched his brows.

Seeing how the guys did not move, Laura asked, “Do you need me to count?” Clearing her throat, she
started counting down, “Three, two, one… start!”
Kane was wordless.
He concluded that Laura had one or two screws loose in the head.

Sage realized that the Yuriels were all present in Jace’s ward. And the moment she stepped foot inside,
she was welcomed warmly by the family.
“Sage sweetie!”
Jace’s grandmother held her hand and walked her inside and sat her down on a chair. “Come on now,
have a seat here.”
Smiling, Sage was rather flattered by their warm welcome.
As soon as she sat down, Sage’s eyes met Jace’s. His head was bandaged to prevent any infection.
His good looks still shone through the bandages. It was that gorgeous face of his that Sage fell head
over heels for him. Sage believed that it was love at first sight.
If Jace were not as good-looking as he was, Sage would not have fallen so hard for him and the rest
that followed would not have happened.
“How do you feel?” Sage asked flatly.
Moving his dry and chapped lips, he responded, “Not bad. Just a bit dizzy.”
“You’ve just undergone a big surgery and you’d still need time to recover. Normally, you feel dizzy now.
Get more rest and try not to have so many people crowded in the room.” The Yuriels all nodded their
heads. “Of course, of course. We’re about to leave. We’ll take turns to keep him company.” Sage
nodded. She then informed Jace about other things that he should take note of. Everyone in the room
listened intently as Sage spoke. They were once again amazed by the fact that Sage was a doctor.
“Sage, you’re amazing! How do you know everything?” Zachary had a look of admiration on his face. “If
I ever get into a medical school, I’ll want you to be my teacher.” Jace’s uncle slapped his son’s head
lightly and said, “Oh please, Son. Don’t embarrass yourself. With that slow brain of yours, do you think
that Sage would take you in?” Everyone burst into laughter. Sage looked at Zachary who was
embarrassed and smiled.
“That is all for now. I’ll take my leave now.”
Sage got up from the chair and Jace grabbed her by her wrist. “Don’t go.”
