FreeNovelLana took a sip and said, "This is actually quite good. I'll ask the maid later how it's made so we could try it at home." Kai agreed, "Sure." Half an hour later, Madelyn woke up in a foul mood, not feeling her best. While arguing with Zach, she got so annoyed that she ended up throwing a pillow at him, which hit his face. This happened just as Kai and Lana came out from Zach's study and entered Madelyn's room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKai said, "Seems like Madelyn's feeling better now." Madelyn's relationship with Kai was cold; she maintained her usual distance from him. Seeing an unfamiliar pregnant woman at Kai's side, Madelyn offered him a nod of acknowledgment. Zach spent the day picking up pillows, a task that had become routine whenever Madelyn lost her temper. Kai and Lana, acknowledging the situation but choosing not to engage, intertwined their hands and left the room together.
Zach handed Madelyn a cup of water and said, "Take your medicine before leaving the bed; you're ill. If you're worried about work, remember that Jardin Corporation has many capable hands. Anyone could step in for you." Madelyn replied, "So you say. I'l get up after the medicine, then." "Really, | mean it." Madelyn quickly grabbed the medicine from Zach's hand, gulped it down, and then finished her water in one swift motion.
Knowing her well, Zach had preemptively prepared fuzzy socks for her feet. As he layered her in warm clothing, he softly said, "Getting sick even while at home, how should | handle you?" "I'll overheat," said Madelyn.
"You need to listen, or you're staying put,” Zach replied.

Zach responded with a slight chuckle, "Which tyrant would care to put socks on you and make sure you're dressed comfortably? You're not giving any credit where it's due.” Madelyn wore a cream-colored knit cap that covered her increasingly long hair. Zach, preferring the indoors cozy, had asked the maids to keep most of the villa's windows closed.
Outside, in the Jent residence's expansive garden, Kai asked a maid to fetch a warm shawl for Lana. Wrapped up, they ambled through the yard, their fingers entwined.
Lana looked up at Kai, "Will you leave tomorrow?" Kai squeezed her hand reassuringly, "I'm not leaving. The experiment's done, and I'm awaiting the details of the next project.
Besides, | want to spend the New Year with you here. It wouldn't sit right with me to leave you on your own." "Good. You'll be able to spend more time with me at home now," Lana said. After a pause, she called out softly, "Kai?" "Yes?" "How did we first meet? And why did we decide to get married? I'm struggling to remember these things.” She sighed, "All | recall is waking up to find you next to me. Was there an accident that | can't remember?" Furthermore, Lana was haunted by recurring dreams of a man dressed in white. His face, always out of focus, eluded her grasp in the dream world. She would reach out, but he would always slip away. This left her in a wakeful state, her heart aching with a mysterious pain that refused to fade with the morning light.
