A Relentless Pursuit for Love
Chapter 526

Chapter 526

There was a bombing case in the suburbs of Nadeem City. Three people died in the car that wasburned to the ground.

The police intervened and investigated the crime scene. The clues led them to Sage and Laura, whowere currently both in the hospital.

Sage and Laura cooperated with the police's investigation and was told to share what happened.Then, the police opened an official case for investigation.

As a result, the club was shut down. Sage felt sorry for Henry knowing that she played a role in that.Hunter flew from Salem City to Nadeem City as soon as he heard about Sage’s accident. He evenbrought Leah along too. Seeing Hunter and Leah show up together, Sage knew they must havemade up. Sage even gave Hunter a good lecture in front of Leah for good measure. Hunter darednot to argue and obediently listened to the lecture. “Yes, it's my fault. I promise I won't do it again.”Sage wanted to continue on, but Leah quietly pulled her sleeve and gave a cue to stop. “You'rebeing too nice. He might bully you more in the future if you end up being liek this.” The motherlyside of Sage wanted to spoil and protect the girls in her family. She would never allow anyone tobully them.

"Hunter didn't bully me. Anyway, I was just being too sensitive.”

Leah reflected on herself. “I know Hunter has been busy with work lately. He had to deal withJefferson Group too. He hasn't slept much for days. Before this, he told me that he'd be busy for anextended period. I understood the consequences of that, but... It's just that...”

“You just can't stand him not being by your side, right? You felt like he's ignoring you andneglecting you, right?”

Leah just could not admit those words out loud, so Sage said it for her.

Leah kept her head down. “Maybe I'm just feeling silly. I always think that I'm not good enough forhim. I can't help him with his troubles, and I end up becoming more of a burden to him. I want to bemore understanding, but I can't stop overthinking that... maybe Hunter should replace a betterwoman.”

“I understand how you feel about all this. I used to get caught up in my negative emotions andcouldn't get over it."

What Sage was experiencing was sympathy in stead of empathy. Even if she could not relate,

she could still understand Leah's current state of mind.

“There's a saying where a man who is in love can easily free himself from it, but a woman in love willbe shackled for life.”

Sage snorted. “Men and women are made differently. A man can easily fall in love and get over arelationship, but a woman will fall deeply and get stuck. By the time a woman is fully

committed and dependent on the man, the man would be bored of her and not pay attention toher. When this happens, the woman will be constantly worried.”

Leah nodded in agreement. “I heard of this from a classmate in love too. I didn't know what it waslike until I experienced it myself. It seems to be true... But, what should I do?”

“There's nothing you can do about it,” Sage explained faintly, “Love happens because of hormonalstimulation. To put it bluntly, it's a chemical reaction of the body. This reaction is cyclical and time-sensitive. It may last but not forever. It all depends on the attraction between the two parties. If theycan maintain their attraction, they'll be able to maintain the relationship for a long time.”

Leah listened in awe. “What can I do about it?” “You'd have to constantly prioritize your self-worthand be more mentally resilient.”

Sage spoke like she was an expert on love, but she was just speaking from her own experience.“Leah, you don't have to feel inferior and constantly worry about your relationship. Trust yourself.You're capable and deserve to be loved! It's good to have a partner you can rely on, but youshouldn't lose yourself in the relationship. No matter what happens, don't rely on others too much.When you're not afraid of losing him, you'll be an unstoppable force.” Listening to Sage, Leah feltlike her wise words were better than reading tons of books.
