Chapter 905

Lana 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, shegot so annoyed that she ended up throwing a pillow at him, which hit his face. This happened just asKai and Lana came out from Zach’s study and entered Madelyn’s room.

Kai said, “Seems like Madelyn’s feeling better now.”

Madelyn’s relationship with Kai was cold; she maintained her usual distance from him. Seeing anunfamiliar pregnant woman at Kai’s side, Madelyn offered him a nod of acknowledgment. Zach spentthe day picking up pillows, a task that had become routine whenever Madelyn lost her temper. Kai andLana, acknowledging the situation but choosing not to engage, intertwined their hands and left theroom together.

Zach handed Madelyn a cup of water and said, “Take your medicine before leaving the bed; you’re ill. Ifyou’re worried about work, remember that Jardin Corporation has many capable hands.

Anyone could step in for you.”

Madelyn replied, “So you say. I’ll get up after the medicine, then.”novelbin

“Really, I mean it.”

Madelyn quickly grabbed the medicine from Zach’s hand, gulped it down, and then finished her water inone swift motion. Knowing her well, Zach had preemptively prepared fuzzy socks for her feet. As helayered her in warm clothing, he softly said, “Getting sick even while at home, how

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 thedetails of the next project. Besides, I want to spend the New Year with you here. It wouldn’t sit right withme 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 calledout softly, “Kai?”

“Yes?”

“How did we first meet? And why did we decide to get married? I’m struggling to remember thesethings.” She sighed, “All I recall is waking up to find you next to me. Was there an accident that I

can’t remember?”

Furthermore, Lana was haunted by recurring dreams of a man dressed in white. His face, always out offocus, eluded her grasp in the dream world. She would reach out, but he would always slip away. Thisleft her in a wakeful state, her heart aching with a mysterious pain that refused to fade

with the morning light.
