A Farewell After Being Reborn

It was a text from Priscilla. According to her, Benjamin had been released from the police station, and he even went to her home.

She wrote, "For some reason, his winery is under investigation. The girl from the orphanage changed her statement and claimed she didn't have voluntary sexual relations with him. Benjamin's like a crazy beast who'd attack at any time, so I chased him away.

"Sage, I warned him not to try anything funny, but you still need to look out for him because he's got nothing to lose now. Get Mr. Holcomb to accompany you if you're going out.”

Priscilla thought that Sage's relationship with lan had improved, as lan had previously shown up to scare Benjamin away and sent the latter to the police.

Sage did not correct Priscilla. She merely assured Priscilla that she was not in town and would not run into Benjamin.

Priscilla replied, "I'm relieved to hear that. The police are starting an investigation to collect evidence. If the orphanage girl is telling the truth, Benjamin will be back in detention in the next few days. He'd be thrown behind bars for at least two years.”

The next day, Sage went with Donald to visit his old friend at the hospital. She had met Thomas Brent before, as Thomas visited the Joyners a few times. She was quite familiar with the old man.
