A Farewell After Being Reborn

Thomas was reluctant to bid goodbye to Donald and Sage after learning that were leaving Colville in the afternoon. After a short chat, Sage and Zachary left the room to offer some privacy to the two old friends.

Zachary said apologetically, “I was too busy to bring you and Donald around Colville over the past few days."

Sage replied with a smile, "It's alright. We'll visit again and have more fun when Thomas gets better.”

Zachary nodded. "Of course." Despite that, both of them were acutely aware that Thomas would never recover.

“Life is unpredictable. I regret going abroad instead of spending two more years with Grandpa at home," he lamented.

In Sage's past life, she did not accompany Donald to Colville. Hence, she was in the dark about Thomas" health condition.

She comforted Zachary, "Don't be too hard on yourself. You couldn't foresee Thomas falling sick.”

"Sage, you've grown up. You are more sensible and mature now. Look, you're even consoling me," he teased.

She deliberately poked fun at him, "Why? Was I really that childish back then?"
