# Chapter 21: A Stomach Ache That Changed Everything
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 21 of "REMARRIED AFTER I SECRETLY DIVORCED THE CEO". This chapter is packed with raw emotion, unexpected rescue, and the painful reality of a marriage built on misunderstanding. Let's dive right in.

The chapter opens with Autumn in a public restroom, her body wracked with agony. She pulls a small pill bottle from her bag, swallows a tablet dry—the bitterness spreading through her mouth like a cruel reminder of her condition. Her stomach aches with a fierceness that leaves her breathless. She steadies herself against the cold wall, forcing a calm voice into her phone as she tells the caller she'll be out soon.
But this episode is different. It's worse than before. The pain feels like thousands of tiny ants gnawing inside her, crawling through her limbs and bones. Her face turns ghostly pale, her lip bitten so hard that blood begins to seep through the broken skin. Every step is a battle, her hand pressed against the wall for support.
Just as she's about to collapse, a pair of strong arms catches her. She looks up weakly into dark, worried eyes—Keith Sinclair, dressed in black, his jaw tight with concern. In his gaze, she sees her own reflection, pale and fragile as a ghost. "My stomach hurts," she whispers, forcing a faint smile from bloodless lips.
Keith doesn't hesitate. "I'll take you to the hospital." He scoops her up effortlessly, carrying her through the venue. The crowd watches in stunned silence. Whispers erupt. "Who is that woman Keith Sinclair is carrying?" "None of us saw her face clearly." "Could it be the White heiress?" "No, I just saw her at the entrance—and Keith came from the restroom area."
Julian and Luna notice the commotion too. Julian takes a step forward, trying to see the woman's face, but Luna cleverly blocks his view and steers him away. "Let's go over there," she says, linking her arm through his. "My brothers are waiting." Julian dismisses the thought. The women here all dress alike. He must have mistaken someone else for Autumn. There's no way she'd know anyone from the Sinclair family.
Keith carries Autumn straight to the entrance, ignoring a woman's call. He places her gently in the back seat and orders Jesse to drive to the nearest hospital. Autumn doesn't make it awake. She slips into unconsciousness, the last thing she hears being Keith's urgent voice: "Autumn, don't fall asleep. Stay with me. Autumn..." But his voice fades, and everything goes dark.
When she wakes, the world is white. The sharp smell of disinfectant stings her nose. Keith stands by the window, his back to her, talking on the phone. Outside, the sky is completely dark. She checks her phone—8 p.m. Missed calls and unread messages flood the screen, most from Ethan, some from Zoe. Her hand trembles, still weak from the episode.
Back at the Carter residence, Julian returns home exhausted. Zoe rushes to inform him that Mrs. Carter hasn't returned and isn't answering her calls. Julian scoffs but still dials her number. She picks up almost immediately—something that makes him smirk with mockery. "Where are you?" he asks coldly.
"Hospital," Autumn replies softly.
Julian rubs his forehead, his voice dripping with disbelief. "Hospital? Autumn, can you stop making a scene already?" He adds that the woman he was with at the event is the sister of an important business partner. In his mind, Autumn is just faking it again—pretending all the way to the hospital.

What a heart-wrenching chapter! The contrast between Keith's genuine concern and Julian's dismissive cruelty is like a knife twisting in the reader's heart. We see Autumn suffering in silence, fighting a battle no one knows about, while Julian assumes the worst of her every move. Keith's instinct to carry her to the hospital, the way he refused to let her fall asleep—those moments reveal a depth of care that Julian has never shown. Yet Autumn is married to a man who thinks her pain is an act. The irony is devastating.
**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
This chapter broke my heart. The raw vulnerability of Autumn alone in that restroom, the desperate rescue by a stranger who cares more than her own husband—it's beautifully written and emotionally charged. The pacing kept me on edge, from the moment she took that pill to her collapse. The ending with Julian's sarcastic accusation makes me want to scream.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars**
(Minus a tiny fraction only because I'm emotionally wrecked and need the next chapter immediately!)
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
I predict that Julian's coldness will push Autumn further away, and Keith's kindness will begin to form a dangerous bond. But the real storm is coming—when Julian realizes Autumn wasn't lying about being in the hospital, will he feel guilt? Or will he double down on his accusations? Meanwhile, Autumn's secret illness might be revealed to someone unexpected, and that could change everything.
