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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKai 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.
Kai laughed and ribbed him, “You’re not worried Madelyn will hold a grudge with rules like that?” He then expertly
placed a forkful of flaky grilled fish onto her plate beside a scoop of buttery
mashed potatoes, “Fish is light and easy; it’s good for you.”
Upon noticing Kai’s gesture, Lana remained silent, She bowed her head slightly and idly moved her fork over her
plate, her discomfort hidden just beneath the surface. Soon after, Kai reached

“Help yourself to more, Lana. It’s not like Zach can’t afford to spoil us a bit; we’re not hurting his pocket. Even

“Madelyn, make a note: from here on out, only take the food you served yourself, okay?” Zach lightly admonished.
Madelyn remained silent, feeling sick and not wanting to start a quarrel. Zach frowned upon seeing the grilled fish
on Madelyn’s plate-the one Kai had placed earlier- and looked like he was about to remove it for her. However,
before he could act, she quickly used her fork to take a bite, ignoring the unwanted help. Zach’s frown grew even
more pronounced.
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.
