A Second Chance with the CEO After Divorce

Chapter 77:

Hoping not to alarm Madisyn, Belinda took some medication in the restroom, waiting until the discomfort in her stomach eased a bit before heading back to their table.

“You were gone for a while. What happened?” Madisyn inquired, her expression etched with concern as she peered at Belinda. “Is it your stomach again? Do we need to get you to a hospital, or maybe find a different place to eat?”

Belinda caught sight of Madisyn, who was diving enthusiastically into her spicy meal and sweating slightly. Shaking her head gently, she replied, “Keep eating. I’ll pick up something later on.”

With her condition, food choice hardly mattered, and she didn’t want to dampen Madisyn’s spirits.

A hint of guilt crossed Madisyn’s face. “I’m sorry, Belinda. I forgot about your stomach issues… I just thought we could—”

“Hey, just enjoy your meal,” Belinda cut in, her voice light with amusement. “Since when did you become so mushy?”

Madisyn rolled her eyes, a playful pout forming. “I’m just concerned, that’s all.”

She resumed eating, then added, “Alright, we’ll swing by and get you some medicine afterward.”
