Sage’s head hurt badly. The world seemed to blur, and she could barely keep her eyes
open. She could vaguely hear Jekyll’s low and helpless voice sounding in her ears. “You’re such a
desperate woman.” After that, countless headlights came near. Many people rushed toward them. She
vaguely heard a familiar voice calling out to her, “Sage, Sage…” Someone seemed to have picked her
up, and she fell into a very warm embrace.
She was so tired, so tired. She tried to love something with all she had. She tried to live her life well.
She tried to protect her family… but she still could not find her parents.
When Sage woke up again, she opened her eyes and smelled the smell of disinfectant. “She’s awake!
She’s finally awake!”
A group of people surrounded the bed.
Sage felt a little dizzy and closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she saw Jace so close to
her.
She stared at him and suddenly muttered, “Huh? Your hair is longer?” There was only silence. Jace
was half leaning against the window in the ward while listening to Kane’s continuous rants at Sage.
Sage listened to Kane’s scolding obediently, but she seemed to be a little distracted by Jace. Her eyes
involuntarily shifted to Jace’s head. Jace had indeed grown out his hair. He had a slicked-back, military
look. He looked tough with that hairstyle. When she first met him, he looked like this too.
The best thing in life was the first time she met her first love. Sage could not resist glancing at him a
couple more times. Kane looked at Sage’s wandering eyes and distracted look and got angry. He
crossed his arms and shouted, “Sage, I’m talking to you. Are you listening?!” Sage was startled by his
loud roar. “I am…” Sage hurriedly responded. Seeing Kane’s livid face, she coaxed helplessly, “Okay,
okay. I’m sorry. I know it was a little risky, but at least we caught the guy, right?”
“Is that a little risky?”
Kane put on a cold face and poked her gauze-covered forehead. “You’re only hurting yourself to catch
the enemy!”
Sage hissed, “Tch… Ouch! That hurts!”
Jace became tense. He involuntarily straightened up and gave Kane a cold glare. “There, there. Sage
is still hurt badly. Don’t bully her anymore.”
Nigel came forward and stopped Kane’s violent behavior.
When Nigel heard about Sage’s accident, he immediately dragged Sean and took the plane to Salem
City. They were terrified. “But Sage, I do not want to scold you, but you really didn’t think this through.”
Nigel was still shocked by the terrifying accident. He had to admonish her, “You didn’t even talk to us
about this. You just made your own decision. Do you think you’re so strong now? Are you still taking us
seriously or not?” As he spoke, his voice rose. Sage kept her head low, pressed her lips, and said
nothing.
“Alright, alright. Let’s cut it out.”
Seth rushed back immediately as well. He had to take a leave of absence from the crew and did not
even have time to change out of his costumes. He was relieved to see Sage alive and well.
Seth was almost the gentlest one. He stepped forward and patted Sage’s head. “Are you still dizzy?
Are you hungry?” Sage nodded. “I’m hungry.”
The moment she said she was hungry, Jace got up and left the ward without saying a word. He came
back after a short while, carrying a lot of lunch boxes with him. He even prepared the meals for Seth,
Nigel, and the rest. Sage was stunned to see the number of lunch boxes. When did Jace become such
a considerate gentleman?
Sage suffered a mild concussion and a cut above her forehead. She got three stitches, but there was
no major injury. She had been busy for the past few days and had no appetite. However, she felt much
more relaxed when Jekyll was finally caught. Her appetite improved too. She ate with her brothers and
looked around. Luther was not around. “Where’s Luther?” Kane was still angry. He just kept quiet with a
livid face.
