A Farewell After Being Reborn

Chapter 225

Terry, who usually followed Ian around, was nowhere to be found that day. Ian frowned when he heard that. “I’m not him. How would I know? Aren’t we going to the drugstore? Get

a move on.” novelbin

Sage was at a loss for words as she didn’t believe that he had no idea about what was going on with Terri.

The couple found the car. Sage had just fastened her seatbelt when she spotted Ivy in the parking lot. Her face was pale, and she looked like her legs were about to give out.

Ivy also noticed them. “Mr. Holcomb, Mrs. Holcomb,” she greeted them weakly.

“Where are you headed?” Ian asked.

Ivy rasped, “I think the wound on my forehead has become infected. It hurts, but I forgot to bring my medications. I was just going to run out and get some.”

Ian said, “We’re just about to head out. Text me a list of the medications you need, and I’ll

pick it up for you.”

Ivy endured the pain and shook her head. “Don’t worry about it. I don’t want to hold you up. I can manage on my own.”

Sage sneered as she looked at Ivy’s pitiful but brave demeanor, “It looks like you’re in real dire straits, Ms. Shekdotter. Why don’t you chauffeur her straight to the hospital? I’ll hail a cab and be on my way.”

Sage then unbuckled her seatbelt. However, Ian reached out and stopped her. “Don’t be silly.

Ivy hurriedly apologized as well. “Mrs. Holcomb, please don’t be angry. I—”

“Stop pretending!” Sage snapped at Ivy. “If you genuinely don’t want to upset me, you wouldn’t keep showing up wherever we are!”

Tears welled up in Ivy’s eyes as she softly apologized. Then, she hastily made her way to her

car and locked the door.

Ian glanced at Sage and said, “Buckle up.” He then drove a few meters and stopped in front of Ivy’s car. “Text me the names of the medications and go upstairs to get some rest. We’ll be back soon.”

Ivy looked like she couldn’t hold on anymore. “Thank you, Mr. Holcomb.” Ian didn’t say anything else and stepped on the gas.

Sage found her initial thoughts ridiculous. Ian was only being nice to her because she hadn’t crossed Ivy in this lifetime. Otherwise, he would’ve treated her the same way he did in her previous life.

Sage didn’t wait for lan when they arrived at the drugstore. Instead, she got out of the car on her own. After going in, she picked out some antacids.

In case Wanda hadn’t packed any, she also bought a spray that promoted blood circulation and removed bruises.

Sage then headed to the cash register while Ian asked the shop assistant to fetch the medications he needed. “I’ll pay for it,” he offered when she was about to foot the bill.

“No, thanks. I’m not short on cash,” she said before paying the bill herself.

He was aware that she always reacted particularly strongly to anything involving Ivy, so he didn’t press any further.

After purchasing the medications, he asked, “Weren’t you planning on picking up something else? Shall we go to the mall?”

Greenfield was particularly well–known for its pastries, which were made from whole grains and healthy. Sage wanted to buy some for Linda and her grandfather, but…

“Aren’t you in a rush to take those medications back? What on earth would we do if Ms. Shekdotter passed out from the pain?”

Ian glanced at her. “Sage, even if you’re jealous, you need to know when to stop.

“Jealous? Me? Are you out of your mind?” Sage stormed off. 1

Just then, a speeding vehicle blared its horn. Startled, she took a step back. Ian had also reached out to pull her back, causing her to fall into his arms.
