Tim jokingly asked, “Have you calmed down yet?”
Sage responded, “Yes.”
Someone was urging Tim to continue the meeting. “Everyone has been waiting for too long…”
Tim replied indifferently and majestically, “Let them wait.”

Sage laughed. She thought that Tim was being domineering and felt ashamed. “Tim, I’m okay now. You
should go back to work.”
Hunter opened the door for Sage to exit the car. The white bandage on her hand was extra noticeable
at night. Just as she was about to hang up the phone, Tim said, “If you want to hear me play live, you
should come over soon.”
“Alright, I just need to settle the opening ceremony for the racecourse tomorrow and arrange the follow-
up. Then, I will fly over.”
The water slowly dripped down from Sage’s hair. She closed her eyes and let the ice-cold water
shower her face and body. The bandage was taken off and the blood was washed away slowly with the
running water. She wanted to calm down. She needed to calm down.
The nightmare from ten years ago should never ever happen again, and so was the tragedy from three
years ago. Neither she nor her brothers could withstand the pain of losing their loved ones. She would
not allow Jekyll to control her.
She must be determined and believe that her parents are not dead. Even if it was just a tiny slight
possibility, she was willing to take it. Finding them would become the most important and the one and
only thing on her list. No matter what was needed, no matter what sacrifices she had to make.
Despite the darkness from last night, the sun still rose, as usual, the next morning. It was Valentine’s
day. Sage acted as if nothing had happened. She woke up as usual at seven in the morning. Although
she did not manage to sleep at all, she looked the same as always. When
she was having breakfast, she looked at Leah and Hunter, who was sitting across from her, and asked
amusingly, “What’s your plan for Valentine’s day?”.

Hunter and Leah looked at each other. They knew Sage was in a bad mood, and they had canceled
their plan. Leah pressed her lips together and said, “Sage, I’m going to accompany
you.”
Sage looked at her with a puzzled expression. “You should spend the day with your boyfriend on
Valentine’s day. Why do you want to spend time with me instead?”
She stuffed the last piece of bread into her mouth and took a sip of orange juice. Afterward, she said to
Hunter, “You can take the day off after the opening ceremony ends. Take Leah out.”
Hunter never expected his boss to give him the day off. He was so grateful that he nearly ended up
crying.
On the way to the racecourse, everyone kept texting in the group. Sage rubbed her brows and took out
her phone. She saw the brother and sister group chat on her WhutsApp was very lively.
First of all, Nigel showed off the engagement rings with Sean. They were simple and plain silver, but
they looked pretty nice because of their long and slender fingers.
The brothers started spamming the group to disregard his action for showing off his love. Afterward,
they finally congratulated them.
Sage also texted, (I’m waiting to attend your wedding dinner.] Followingly, Seth started to send many
different types of flower photos to the group. Before Seth could continue, Luther asked a stupid
question. (Seth, are you selling flowers in the group because you are so bored without any movie to
shoot?]
Seth had a good temper and did not rebuke Luther. (I’m here at the florist to buy a bouquet of flowers
for my girlfriend. Which is the best? The votes start now.] Luther texted, (I choose number 2. Red roses
are the best choice to give to a girlfriend.) Nigel replied, (I agree with Luther.]
Kane texted, (My future girlfriend said that red roses are lame. Number 3, pink roses are the best.]
Seth asked, (Sage, what about you? @TheGreatSage]
Sage replied, [Number three, I guess.) Seth confirmed, (Then number three it is.] Luther texted, (Rolled
eyes emoji. Then why did you ask us? Just ask Sage.] oing to avoid all the wrong answers
Seth replied, (It was necessary for the procedure. I wa by asking all of you.)
Luther and Nigel both sent a rolled-eyes emoji to the group chat.
Sage smiled cheerfully and knew that her brothers were always her fountain of happiness. She thought
it was a battle she had to fight alone today. However, both of her lame partners were there at the
racecourse when she arrived. Yoel was yawning, looking very lazy, whereas Jace was wearing casual
clothing, white short sleeves with black pants. He was also wearing a white sunhat while standing
under the sun. He smiled at her.
