A Farewell After Being Reborn

Tiana's face flushed with excitement. "Sage, you're truly my idol! That was so cool! Here, have another glass of frozen rosé."

Sage was overjoyed, possibly due to the amount of alcohol she had drunk. Despite how tipsy she felt, she downed her drink in one gulp. "Sage, you really shouldn't be drinking like this. Even though it tastes sweet, it's quite strong!"

Sage waved her hand nonchalantly. "It's alright. It doesn't matter if I get drunk."

She didn't need to please anyone anymore. She wasn't afraid that lan would think that she wasn't dignified enough. Hence, it didn't matter if she got drunk.

"Besides, you don't usually have time to come out for a drink. Let's just drink to our heart's content tonight!"

Tiana sighed. "Man, I'm exhausted from accompanying my mother-in- law these days. I just needed to step out for some fresh air and loosen up a little.”

"How's that female classmate of Wilson doing? Did she get transferred to the hospital where Wilson is?" Sage was still worried about it.

"I don't think so. I asked him a couple of days ago. He said he hadn't contacted her, so he wasn't sure,” Tiana responded. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

"That's a relief.” Sage breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. Based on the timeline of her previous life, Wilson's female classmate would have already returned to Haldon and gone to the hospital. Sage wondered if things had changed because Tiana had accompanied Wilson abroad in this lifetime.

"My mother-in-law has been pushing for us to have a baby recently. It's giving me a headache," Tiana lamented.

"My chances of becoming the head nurse will be ruined if I get pregnant now. Considering my mother- in-law's personality, she might even ask me to resign. Even though work can be exhausting at times, I've worked hard for all my qualifications, and I don't want to give up." “Tiana, you shouldn't always bend over backward for Wilson and your mother-in-law. You need to respect yourself first before others will respect you," Sage said with concern. "If you don't want to get pregnant, then don't. Even if you do get pregnant, you don't have to quit your job."

In her previous life, Tiana gave in to her mother-in-law and quit her job after she got pregnant. Eventually, her mother-in-law criticized her for not earning money and burdened her with housework, which ultimately led to Tiana having a miscarriage.

In addition, Wilson's first love caused all sorts of trouble for them, leaving Tiana disheartened. Tiana eventually got a divorce and went abroad to return to nursing. After moving overseas, she dropped off the radar.

The alcohol started to kick in, causing Sage's head and heart to start pounding. Sage put her arm around Tiana. “Tiana, if you have any problems you can't solve in the future, tell me. Don't carry them alone. Don't ever give a fuck about your mother-in-law and husband. You matter most."

Tiana pinched her flushed cheeks. "Why do I feel like you've matured a lot? The old you wouldn't have ever been able to say such wise words." Sage leaned on her shoulder. "Well, this is my second life after all.” "Huh?" Tiana thought that she had misheard Sage.

Sage continued, "It feels so good to love yourself, Tiana. You should try it."

"Well, well, well. Are you drunk, hot stuff? Why don't you let us give the two of you a ride home?" The beer-bellied man who had tried to hit on them earlier came back. This time, he had a few friends with him. "We'll manage on our own, thanks," Tiana said warily as she shielded Sage.

Unfortunately, because the man's ego had been bruised earlier, he wasn't prepared to back down so easily. He grinned, got closer to Tiana, and extended his hand. "Don't be shy, darlin’. We just want to help—"

Sage kicked the man in the groin before he could touch Tiana's face, causing him to cry out in pain.

"How dare you kick me, you lil' bitch?" The beer-bellied man massaged his aching waist and waved his hand aggressively. Several people suddenly surrounded Sage.

Sage positioned herself in front of Tiana and glared at the beer-bellied man. The group was in a secluded spot in the bar, and the loud music made their conversation inaudible. Sage knew that no one would notice their predicament in these circumstances.

"You play the drums, and you're feisty. You're just my type!" The beer- bellied man leered and reached out for Sage.
