My Husband Is A Secret Billionaire By Wiuu

Chapter 39
Jane had a stomach ache, so she took a day off and didn’t go to work.
However, even at home, she couldn’t catch a break. From the moment she woke up, a weird smell of traditional herbal medicine was wafting from the kitchen.
Battling against the pain, Jane managed to get out of bed. As she reached the kitchen door, she saw Dan running around like a headless chicken.
On the table was a breakfast prepared by him: overly fried eggs, a plece of burnt toast, and a bowl of porridge that was all milk and almost no oats.
It was really hard for this man who had never stepped foot in the kitchen before.
With a wry smile, Jane leaned against the kitchen door frame and murmured, “You don’t know how to cook, let me do it.”
Dan was taken aback and turned to look at her. “You’re up? If you’re feeling under the weather, go back to bed after breakfast. I’ve got this.”
“What are you busy with?”
“Ah… Just whipping up some soup for you,” Dan replied, all sixes and sevens. “Go rest. Once the soup. is ready, I’ll bring it to you!”
Jane bit her lip, feeling a warmth spreading in her chest, but then a thought suddenly crossed her mind. “Had he been this attentive to his ‘sweetheart’ in the past?”
A boy of sixteen, all fiery and full of zest… He must have been pretty passionate, huh…
As she pondered, the smile on Jane’s face froze, and the knot in her heart twisted tighter. Coupled with a cramping stomach from standing for too long, she felt completely out of sorts.
Just then, Dan turned to look at her.

Jane shot him a look, huffed, and stomped back to her room, slamming the door behind her.
Dan was left scratching his head, thinking. “Are all women like Jekyll and Hyde during their period? One moment they’re all smiles, the next they’re shooting daggers. They really are a tough crowd!”
Just as he got a message from Hector inviting him to the Crowne Hotel for a chat, he was about to inform Jane when there was a knock at the door.
It was Kate. She heard that Jane was under the weather and came to visit her while she was out on
business.
“You are… Dan Murphy?” Kate was caught off guard as she opened the door.
This was her first encounter with Dan. He was nothing like she had imagined. She thought men who got into fights and jail would have a touch of the rogue, or even a gloomy streak.
But Dan was tall and handsome, his face chiseled and stern, and his eyes masked a depth that made it hard to read him. His overwhelming presence made Kate instinctively take a couple of steps back.
“Yes, I am, Dan answered in a low voice. “And you must be Kate May?”
“Pleased to meet you,” Kate returned with a polite smile.

Dan stepped aside to let her in.
As soon as Kate entered, she was hit by the strong smell of traditional herbal medicine and crinkled her nose in discomfort.
“What’s going on? Is she very ill?” Kate looked at him, concern filling her eyes. “Why does she need to take traditional herbal medicine?”
“She has a stomachache all the time. I inquired about a prescription suggesting these ingredients for a soup that could help ease the discomfort.”
“Oh.” Kate nodded, deep in thought.
Her mother was a practitioner of traditional medicine, with a focus on gynecology, so Kate was quite steeped in the world of medicinal herbs and concoctions from a young age. Just a whiff of the pot and she knew something wasn’t right. She figured she’d need to scrutinize what was being cooked up. Given it was going to be eaten, she had to keep a watchful eye for Jane.
“Kate, you’re here?” Jane emerged from her room. “I’m sorry to bother you, it’s just period pain, making it seem like some grave illness. It’s a fuss having you over…”
“To a woman, this isn’t a small deal either,” Kate responded with a smile. “You do look pale, hurt quite a bit, huh?”
“Yeah.” Jane winced, “Kate, could I ask you to fetch some painkillers from your mom? The ones she gives work like a charm, had me feeling better last time!”
“Do you really need the painkillers?” Kate pointed to the kitchen, barely suppressing a chuckle. “Your husband’s whipped up a magic potion of a soup, far superior to any painkiller!”
Jane glanced at her husband, Dan, who was standing to the side with a gentle smile.
