Chapter 385

It was just as she said.

“My life has been smooth sailing for more than twenty years. My parents shower me with love, andmy brothers are very protective of me. I've never suffered until now... You... You're the biggest stormin my life.”

Jace suddenly felt a heavy feeling in the chest. It felt as if a big hand clenched his heart, making himgasp in pain. He could barely stand steadily, so he sat down again.

It hurt as if someone had hit his head like he was in the boxing ring. He sat on the bench for a longtime before he gradually recovered from his dizziness.

Two nurses who happened to pass by noticed his pale face. They approached him and asked,”Mister, are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable? Do you need the doctor's help?” “No need.Thanks.”

Jace declined politely and stood up slowly to leave. The two nurses stared at his back as he left. Oneof the nurses said, “He seems lost and pale. Does he have a terminal illness?”

"He's still young. How can that be? He looked like he was lost in love. Did someone dump him?"Huh? That's impossible. He's so handsome. Why would any woman dump him? He'd be the onedumping her...” “No way? Is he really so affectionate?” “Nope! Since ancient times, the great poetswho have written love poems were all playboys. Even if they are affectionate, it'll be in a differentway!” “You have a point. I can't deny that.”

Asher’s operation was a success. However, it came with a huge price. All his bones had to be brokento be reshaped.

To recover from the high paraplegia was a tough battle with little hope and painstaking effort. Asuccessful recovery would depend on the patient's strong perseverance and financial power.

It would not be easy.

Sage felt relaxed after the surgery. She was only responsible for the patient's physical recovery, butnot his mental health. The patient had a girlfriend to help, so she did not have to worry about it.

It was rare for Sage to visit Brown City. She took the chance and visited Nigel's father during thetrip. Mason was so happy that he granted his son an unprecedented three-day leave to let himshow Sage around. Nigel took Sage to a lot of attractions and treated her to delicious food. Whenthey checked in at a popular shop, they got a video call from Sean.

Sean greeted Sage and said hello. After that, he told Nigel about an invitation to a wine tastingevent. He agreed to attend the event before his business trip and wanted to take Nigel there.However, he could not make it.

Sean suggested, “You can take Sage there and have some fun. Remember to bring me two bottles.”Nigel gladly agreed and dragged his voice, “Okayyy” At last, he hung up reluctantly after saying afew more words. Sage got goosebumps from his conversation with Sean. They were too sweettogether. Nigel ignored Sage’s discomfort and chuckled. “The wine tasting events in Brown City arepretty high-end and interesting. Shall I take you there to have fun?” Sage knew Nigel and San wereboth alcoholics. They loved alcohol and shared the same likings.1 She rolled her eyes at Nigel. “Youalready promised Sean. Can I say no?”

"Of course not.” Nigel smiled and pulled Sage out of the shop. He hailed a taxi and went straight tothe event location.

“There are many foreigners at the event. I can’t understand them whenever they babble. It's greatthat you're here. I'll be depending on you to be the translator and to pick a few bottles of goodwine for me.”

“Sure.” Sage agreed nonchalantly and said, “I'll pick, but you'll pay for it.” Nigel smiled generously.“No problem.” Then, he raised his phone and hummed, “Anyway, I'll be swiping Sean's card.” Sagewas slightly irked by Nigel's display of love. She decided to pick a few bottles of good wine andmake them pay. She must make him pay for flaunting! When she arrived at the event, sheunexpectedly saw two familiar figures and wanted to curse. Yoel waved at her from a distance andswirled his wine glass. Beside him stood Jace who was fully suited handsomely.

Sage's bright face immediately turned sour upon seeing them. Did these two people put a radar onher? Why was she running into them at all times? They were so annoying!

Before she could curse, a graceful figure walked over to Jace with a bright and flirtatious smile.Immediately, Sage recognized her. It was Sienna, whoin she had not seen in a long time.

Ah, it turned out that Jace was at the event to meet his precious ex-girlfriend. She was just toosensitive about him.
