Remarried After I Secretly Divorced the CEO novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48

Chapter 48

After returning to her room, Autumn lay down to rest.

The pain wasn’t as sharp as it had been during the earlier attack, but it still throbbed faintly.

The medicine came with side effects too.

She felt completely drained, like every bit of strength had been pulled from her body.

She was exhausted.

All she wanted now was to get some sleep.

Lying in bed, the pain gradually eased, and she soon drifted off.

By afternoon, Sienna Carter stormed into the house dragging her suitcase behind her.

The moment she stepped through the door, she shouted furiously, “Autumn! My mom’s sick, and not only did you not take care of her, you didn’t even bring her food! What kind of daughter–in–law are you supposed to be?”

The young woman was Julian’s younger sister, just twenty this year, a third–year university student majoring in electronic engineering

A month ago, Julian helped her secure a spot in a month–long study program abroad.

She’d just come from visiting her mom in the hospital.

She was already full of frustration with nowhere to vent it.

Returning to her brother’s place, Autumn was the perfect target.

After all, that was how things always went.

Whenever she felt wronged outside, she’d come here and take it out on Autumn–who, in order to keep the peace, would always cook her a comforting meal.

During her month abroad, Sienna had struggled with the foreign food and barely ate well the entire time.

She’d been craving Autumn’s cooking for a while now.

Hearing the commotion, Zoe came out and quickly walked over to help with the suitcase.

“Miss, did you just get back? Have you eaten yet?”

When Autumn didn’t respond for a long time, Sienna looked at Zoe in confusion.

“Zoe, is Autumn not home?”

Normally, the moment she arrived, Autumn would come bounding over like a loyal puppy, wagging her tail and asking what she wanted to eat.

But she’d been back for a while now and Autumn still hadn’t shown up.

Was she out?

But she’d just heard her brother say that Autumn had been dismissed and would be staying home as a housewife

from now on.

If a housewife couldn’t even handle her basic responsibilities and kept running off, she’d be telling her brother about it.

Zoe glanced up the stairs, then sighed. “Mrs. Carter’s stomach started acting up again today. She’s resting now.”

At noon, Zoe had made some oatmeal and went upstairs to get Autumn to eat.

After calling for a while, Autumn had stirred slightly.

She looked weak and sluggish, barely managed a few spoonfuls, and went back upstairs.

She hadn’t come down since.

Zoe figured she probably went right back to sleep after finishing the oatmeal.

“She’s sick?” Sienna frowned slightly.

“Of all times, she just happens to fall ill now that my mom’s in the hospital? How convenient. She’s obviously faking it.
