Instead, he had learned of how she fell sick in Belvoria.
Naomi glanced at the medicine on her bedside table and said tonelessly, “Thank you."

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs the saying goes, belated affection was as invaluable as a blade of grass.
In addition, Brendan didn't harbor any affection for her anyway. He was just feeling slightly guilty for doubting her loyalty to their marriage.

Naomi wasn't bothered by how Brendan neglected her and refused to acknowledge their relationship in front of others.
However, when he reminisced about his longing for Sophia in front of Maximus, it was difficult for Naomi to maintain her indifference.
Maximus had feelings for Naomi. He had even gone to Naomi's family to propose formally.
Yet Brendan was doing this on purpose. Brendan was letting Maximus know that he never considered Naomi to be someone important to him. In fact, he was trying to instigate resentment in Maximus by pushing Naomi away. That was something Naomi couldn't accept.
