A Farewell After Being Reborn

Chapter 230

Sage had browsed the aisles to avoid running into Ian. “I’m sure you’ve also found out that I haven’t bought any amoxicillin.”

“That corner is a blind spot for the surveillance cameras,” Ian said.

Sage

couldn’t help but sneer at him. “Are you suggesting that I stole the medication from the drugstore and then swapped it out with Ms. Shekdotter’s in the car?” Ian remained silent.

Sage snorted. “I had no idea which medications she needed. How could I have prepared the warfarin ahead of time?”

“Why wouldn’t you have been able to prepare it? The wound on Ivy’s forehead was inflamed. Anyone would’ve guessed that she’d need anti–inflammatory medications!” Ronald snarled.

Sage frowned and shot Ian a cold look. “Do you think so too?”

Before Ian could say anything, Ronald snapped, “How could you be so cruel? What has Ivy ever done to you that you’d attempt to harm her over and over again?”

The middle–aged man raised his hand and was about to slap Sage’s face when Ian stopped him. “Calm down, Uncle Ron.”

“Calm down? How could I possibly remain calm? Ivy’s my one and only daughter, She’s gentle, and she never gets into any trouble. Why does your wife hate her so much that she’d do this to her? 1novelbin

“My poor Ivy didn’t want to bother you even though she was feeling unwell. She had to call an ambulance and go to the hospital on her own! It wasn’t until the pain became unbearable that she called me to come to the hospital…” Ronald’s voice broke as tears streamed down his face. “If something happens to Ivy, how will I face my late wife…”

“Dad, please, stop,” Ivy choked out. “I’m alright now, aren’t I?”

“That’s because you got lucky! The doctor said you would’ve died if you hadn’t been rushed to the hospital in time.” Ronald was beside himself with fear. He then lunged at Sage and demanded, “If you’ve got a problem, take it out on me. Don’t hurt my daughter!““.

“Stop it, Dad!” Ivy abruptly sat up, but she was too weak to walk. Plus, she had an IV drip in her hand. She almost hit her head on the corner of the bed when she felt a jab in her hand.

Ian hastily reached out and steadied Ivy to prevent her from injuring herself again. Sage, on the other hand, instinctively kicked Ronald away when he suddenly rushed up to her.

“Ouch!” The middle–aged man was caught off guard. He stumbled backward and fell flat on his back.

“Dad!”

“Uncle Ron!”

Ivy and Ian exclaimed at the same time. Ivy tried to get off the hospital bed when Ian walked over to Ronald. But she accidentally rolled off and landed on the floor.

“Sit still!” Ian had no choice but to turn back and help Ivy up.

“Don’t worry about me. Please go and check on my father.” Holding onto the bed, she tried to push him away, but she was too weak and fell forward. The hospital bed, which she was using for leverage, slid forward due to inertia and went straight for Sage.

Sage instinctively dodged the hospital bed and accidentally bumped into the trash can next to the elevator. Losing her balance, she fell onto the round trash can. When she put hér hands back to steady herself, she felt a sharp pain. The glass shards in the trash can dug into her flesh.

Ivy screamed before Ian could check on Sage. As the hospital bed slid away, it pulled out the needle in her hand and caused her to bleed. Ivy, who was already extremely weak, almost passed out from the ordeal.
