The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 906

Stolen feelings never last long. Kai had understood this for a long time. He quietly thought to himself, 'I'm not the hero in Lana's story; Andrew is always the one she cherishes.'

Lana was really hurt when Andrew passed away. The hypnosis helped her forget for a little while, but it was not a fix that would last forever. If she tried hard to peel away the false memories and look for anything about Andrew, her memories would come back to her. For now, she remembered things in bits and pieces. Sometimes, she had brief moments when things made sense, yet she could not recall Andrew's name.

During that time, Lana did not call out 'Andrew' when she woke up. Kai, grappling with his thoughts, admitted to himself he was self-centered and flawed. He longed to have her close but feared the intimacy; his turmoil left him unsure of his next move.

Kai said in a soothing tone, "You seem worried about starting a family. Let's not let it trouble us too much. I'll make more time for us to be together at home, alright?" He held her hand gently, blowing on it to warm it up.

Lana said, "It means a lot that you're here with me, but I wouldn't want to distract you from your commitments."

He tucked her hand into his jacket pocket, reassuring her, "Don't worry. I've been keeping things light at work lately." He cherished this opportunity to just be with her, unsure when he might get the chance again once life sped up.

Lana's first dinner at someone's home was quite a social affair. Kai and Zach were engrossed in a business conversation, something Madelyn found utterly uninteresting. Earlier, she had taken her medication, leaving her feeling overheated and slightly dizzy with a sheen of sweat on her forehead.

Her doctor had put her on a specific diet. When she went to grab a slice of roast beef, Zach's hand reached out and stopped her. "You're still on the mend. No rich foods for now," Zach said gently.

On the table were two fish dishes: one was a lemon-butter baked fish, and the other was grilled, seasoned with herbs. The chef had been considerate of Lana's dietary needs due to her pregnancy and had prepared several appropriate options for her. When the meal concluded, Kai was quick to leave, taking Lana with him without delay.

A maid handed Lana a beautifully wrapped package. "This is a little something from Mrs. Jardin," she said. "She regrets if the dinner wasn't to your satisfaction and sends her apologies. Mrs. Jardin tends to be private and might not seem overly social. She ensured the chef prepared the dishes you would enjoy tonight."

Lana felt unexpectedly valued. She had been concerned about possibly causing discomfort with her attendance, yet Madelyn's considerate gesture pleasantly surprised her.
