# Chapter 48: The Convenient Illness
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 48 of "REMARRIED AFTER I SECRETLY DIVORCED THE CEO" – a chapter that turns the heat up on Autumn’s suffering and introduces a new storm in the form of Julian’s younger sister, Sienna Carter.
After the painful gastric attack that sent her to the hospital, Autumn finally retreats to her room, desperate for rest. The pain has dulled but still throbs like an old wound that refuses to heal. The medicine leaves her utterly drained, as if every ounce of strength has been siphoned from her body. All she wants is to sleep – to escape into the darkness where no one can hurt her. She lies down, the pain gradually eases, and soon she drifts off into an exhausted slumber.
But peace never lasts long in this house. By afternoon, the door bursts open and in storms Sienna Carter, dragging her suitcase behind her like a battering ram. The twenty-year-old university student, fresh from a month-long study program abroad, has just visited her mother in the hospital. Her frustration has no outlet – until she remembers Autumn. And what better target? This is how it always goes: whenever Sienna feels wronged or hungry or bored, she comes here to unleash her temper, and Autumn, in her desperate bid to keep the peace, always cooks her a comforting meal.
Sienna’s voice shatters the silence: “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?”
Zoe, the loyal caretaker, rushes out to help with the suitcase. “Miss, did you just get back? Have you eaten yet?”
When Autumn doesn’t respond, Sienna frowns. Normally, Autumn would come bounding over like a loyal puppy, wagging her tail, asking what she wants to eat. But today, nothing. Is she out? Or is she hiding? Sienna’s brother Julian already told her that Autumn has been dismissed from her job – she’s supposed to stay home as a housewife now. If a housewife can’t even handle basic responsibilities, well, Sienna will make sure Julian hears about it.
Zoe glances up the stairs and sighs. “Mrs. Carter’s stomach started acting up again today. She’s resting now.” At noon, Zoe made oatmeal and coaxed Autumn to eat a few spoonfuls, but she looked weak and sluggish, then went back to sleep. She hasn’t come down since.
Sienna’s eyes narrow. “She’s sick? Of all times, she just happens to fall ill now that my mom’s in the hospital? How convenient. She’s obviously faking it.” Her voice drips with contempt. “I just heard that not only was Autumn pretending to be sick at the hospital, but once she got home, she had you call my brother, trying to get him to take her to the doctor. Does she really think playing sick will get her out of caring for my mom – or win my brother back? What a joke.”
The truth, of course, is that Sienna and her mother never approved of Autumn. They wanted Julian to marry someone from a good family – someone like Luna, who could support his career. And now, with Luna in the picture, everyone hopes Julian will divorce Autumn and move on. But he hasn’t made a move. So they take out their frustration on Autumn, piling pressure on her like stones. Yet she clings to Julian like a stubborn leech. Anyone would look down on someone as worthless as Autumn. And now she’s faking illness to earn sympathy? What a calculating little schemer.
As Sienna fumes, we feel the weight of Autumn’s loneliness – a woman who is sick, exhausted, and judged by everyone who should care for her.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
This chapter perfectly captures the cruelty of invisible illness. Autumn’s physical pain is real, but nobody believes her. Sienna’s arrival adds a layer of emotional violence that makes you want to cry for Autumn. The contrast between her silent suffering and Sienna’s loud accusations is heartbreaking. A powerful, frustrating chapter that makes you root for Autumn even harder.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
Sienna won’t stop at screaming. I bet she’ll march up to Autumn’s room and confront her – only to find her truly incapacitated. Or maybe Julian will arrive and see his sister’s cruelty firsthand. Either way, the tension is about to explode, and I hope someone finally sees that Autumn isn’t faking.
