Chapter 554 It was almost afternoon when Sage helped Jace up. She pulled out the table and set the dishes she had brought on the table.
Jace smiled upon seeing the variety of dishes before him.
Sage was utterly confused when Jace started smiling and laughing, thinking it was odd and awkward.
Sage did hit his head, but she did not remember breaking his brain. Why was he laughing so much?
“What’s so funny?” Jace looked up at her and asked, “Don’t you think this is familiar?”
Huh?
Sage paused for a brief moment and eventually understood what he meant.
Touche.
Just a few days ago, Jace was the one who brought food and visited her in the hospital. Now, it was the complete opposite. Sage chuckled bitterly and said, “What a curse, us and hospitals.” Jace’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing the word ‘us’. His inky iris stared straight into Sage’s eyes; his gaze was like the night sky filled with stars glowing with sparkles. “Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?” Sage was oblivious to the flirting. She passed a pair of utensils to Jace and said, “Eat.” “Okay,” Jace answered, like an obedient child. With utensils in his hands, he asked, “Have you eaten?”
“Yes. These are yours,” Sage answered. Sage cleaned up the table and was about to throw the trash when Jace stopped her, “You don’t have to do this. Leave it to the care workers…”
“It’s alright. It’s not like I’ve never done this before.” Even though Sage was spoiled growing up, she still had plenty of experience with chores and knew what she was doing. Jace’s heart sank as he watched Sage cleaning up the room with agility. Sage was right. What had she not done when she took care of him in the past. Aside from taking out the trash and sweeping, she even used to clean out his urinal. On top of that, she gave him massages… How much love did she have for him back then to be able to do all of those things for him?
Others would have thought that he really was in love with her.
Since Jace had stopped her from doing chores, she had plenty of free time to do her own work. The reason she had Hunter set up an office corner for her was so that she could work even when she was outside of Salem City.
Jace, too, had his own tasks that he had to work on during his recovery in the hospital.
Two CEOs worked on their own tasks in a spacious hospital room, one of them working on documents whilst the other having a phone meeting.
Jace got tired and leaned back on his pillow to take a break, at the same time observing Sage as she worked.
