Sage was at a loss for words. She couldn’t help but wonder if he had injured his brain instead of his waist last night. Why else would he dwell on such a trivial matter? Sage couldn’t be bothered to answer him, so she walked into the ward.
was so bothered by her words. In
Ian also realized he had overreacted. He wondered why he the end, he chalked it up to not getting enough rest last night.
Tiana and Calvin appeared to have hit it off in the ward. Sage caught them in the process of exchanging contact information when she walked in.
“Welcome back!” Tiana dragged Sage into the restroom and locked the door behind them as soon as she spotted Sage.
“What’s up? Why’d you drag me in here?” Sage asked.
Tiana asked excitedly in hushed tones, “Calvin told me that you were the one who bit Ian’s lips. Is that true?”
Sage had almost forgotten about it until she brought it up. Ian’s lips did look much better that day. She couldn’t believe how perceptive Calvin was.
“To be honest, I had also noticed the scar on Ian’s lips last night, but I was too busy to dwell on it. Calvin had the same suspicion as me, and he found out about it in the ward last night.
Tiana teased, “It looks like things got pretty heated, huh? After all, he left a hickey on your neck, and you bit his lip.”
Initially, Sage was going to refute Tiana. However, something hit her. “Wait… did you tell Calvin about the hickey on my neck?”
Knowing Calvin, word would soon reach Ian’s ears. Wouldn’t she have given Ian leverage if he wasn’t the one who left those red marks on her neck?
“Of course! Gossip is meant to be shared,” Tiana said matter–of–factly.
“You’ve only known each other for a few hours and you’re already spilling secrets?”
“Mhm. We hit it off right away!”
Sage was rendered speechless. Before long, her test results were in. There were no other issues. with her body. The injury on her shoulder would heal in no time if she applied the ointment every day.
After completing the discharge procedures, Tiana decided to leave first because she had an afternoon shift.
“Let me give you a ride, Ms. Ford. I’ll be going in that direction, too.”

Tiana declined, “It’s okay. I can hail a cab.”
Calvin touched his forehead and said pitifully, “To be honest, I noticed how skilled you were at treating wounds. My forehead still hurts… I was hoping you coulu teach me how to treat it.”
This time, Tiana agreed readily. “Sure, I can do that. I’ll explain on the way.”
Sage watched as Calvin diligently opened the car door for Tiana before rushing into the driver’s seat. “Is he interested in Tiana?” she asked lan.
Ian remained silent as if he were lost in thought.
Sage couldn’t help but wave her hand in front of him a few times. “Well? What are you looking at? Do you not hear me? I’m talking to you, Ian Holcomb!”
He turned to look at Sage. “His interest usually fizzles out in about half a month. It won’t affect your friend.”
“So… he is interested in Tiana?” Her eyes widened.
Ian fell silent once again. Just then, the driver pulled up. Ian opened the car door and motioned to Sage. “Get in.‘
Eager to learn the answer, she hopped into the car.
“Does he not know that Tiana is married?” she asked after Ian settled into the back seat with
her.
Ian was never one to stick his nose into someone else’s business. However, he decided to
answer her question after looking into her big, shiny eyes. “He does. He wouldn’t do anything out of line.”
