In the room, Ryan sat on the edge of Wendy's bed.He took out his phone and did a little research on
dysmenorrhea.
After scrolling past the usual advertisements, he eventually found an article titled, "How Bad
Dysmenorrhea Can Be" and scanned through it.
As he got deeper into the article, his face turned paler and paler.
"Luke! How's the water I asked you to boil?"
"It's not done yet..."
"Well, then hurry up!"
"But..."
How could Luke hurry up? It was the kettle that was boiling the water, and no kettle in the world could
boil water instantly! There was nothing else they could do but to wait.
"Wendy...How much does it hurt?" Ryan asked.
Clearly, it hurt enough to drain out all her strength.
Wendy couldn't even bear to reply anymore.
Ryan worriedly shook his head and quickly searched about ways to relieve dysmenorrhea.
In a span of a few clicks, he was able to gain some valuable information.
He carefully skimmed through the suggestions and found one that he could try.
"Can you try getting up?" he asked.
Wendy weakly shook her head.
Ryan bent over to help her up and let her body lean on his for support.He then gently placed his hand
on her abdomen.
Her skin was cold to the touch.
It was a good thing that his hand was warm.
Following the method that he had just read about, Ryan tried his best to rub her stomach to generate
some warmth.
The cold feeling in her abdomen began to slowly dissipate.
Wendy's expression softened.
"Does that help?" he asked.
She nodded meekly.
Ryan sighed in relief and continued what he was doing.
While Luke was watching, the kettle finally made a whistling sound.
The hot water was finally ready.
Luke quickly filled a glass and waited for it to cool a bit before bringing it over.
"Here, Wendy.Have some hot water."
Wendy wasn't strong enough to even lift her hand.
"Give it to me.I'll hold it for her."
Ryan took the glass and held it to her lips.
"It might be a little hot, but I read on the Internet that it's better anyway.Drink as much as you can."
The most she could intake was two sips of water.
As the hot water made its way down her throat and into her stomach, Wendy's body started to feel
warmer already.
Once she was ready, she drank again as Ryan held it the glass up to her until she finished it.
"Do you want Luke to go and get some more?" Ryan asked.
Wendy shook her head in response.
"How do you feel? Does it still hurt a lot?"
"Yes."
There was still a lot of pain, but it was certainly better than she was earlier.Wendy tried to get up on her
own.
"Hey, stop moving!"
"Um...I need to go to the bathroom."
Ryan was at a loss for a few moments before he understood what she meant.He nodded and wrapped
her arm around his neck, helping to put on her slippers before lifting her up into his arms.
"No, please...I can go there myself."
"No, I won't let you!" He raised his voice.
Seeing his determined face, Wendy shut her mouth and didn't dare object anymore.
In the bathroom, Ryan carefully let her down beside the toilet and asked, "Are you sure you can do this
by yourself?"
Wendy rolled her eyes secretly and replied, "I can do it."
"Alright, then I'll wait for you outside."
"Wait a second!"
"What is it?"
"Well...Could you maybe go downstairs and buy something for me?"
"What do you need?"
"Uh..."
‘What else would a woman on her period need? Can't he figure it out already? “ she thought.
For five long seconds, Ryan stood there, clueless, and then he finally understood.His ears turned red
as he coughed awkwardly.
"Oh! I see."
"Okay, thanks."
Ryan left and closed the door behind him.
"Ryan...What happened? Is she going to be okay in there?" Luke asked.
"Yes.But I need to buy her something.You stay here."
"What do you need? I'll do it."
Luke scratched the back of his head and nodded at the bathroom.
"If anything happens to her inside, I don't think it's appropriate for me to go in and help her."
"No, it's fine!" Ryan refused in a hurry.He wasn't going to let another man buy tampons for his woman.
Not even if it were his own brother!
"What? Why not?"
"Just wait by the door.If she needs help with anything, just call me or go to the reception and ask for a
waitress."
"Okay, fine."
"Good.Be right back."
"Take care!"
Ryan didn't waste another second and left.It took Luke a while before he finally figured out what his
brother was sent out to buy.
‘How awkward!” He gasped.
He was suddenly thankful Ryan didn't let him do the buying.He had never bought any tampons in his
life.
If he was the one who had to buy, he would not know what to do at all.
Five minutes later, Ryan came back.
Luke was stunned yet again.He saw his brother carrying a paper bag full of tampons.He had never
seen something more unusual.
What the hell! Ryan looked like he had emptied the entire rack of tampons at the supermarket! "Bro,
what..."
"Shut up!" Ryan interrupted, his ears turning red.
"Just get out."
"What, but I..." Luke was stunned.
"Ryan, are you sure..." Ryan threw him his phone.
"Here. I listed down some more things to buy."
"Oh, okay!"
Luke nodded and left obediently.
Ryan looked down at bag full of tampons.His mouth slightly twitched.He had never needed to buy
these things before.
There were so many brands and kinds to choose from.He didn't know which one to get, so he got all of
them instead.He would never forget how the cashier looked at him.
Ryan wiped his face and adjusted his expression before knocking on the bathroom door.
Knock, knock!
"Just hang it on the doorknob."
Wendy's weak and hoarse voice came from the inside.
"Are you sure you can get it yourself?" he asked.
"Yes, I'll be fine."
Ryan hesitated a bit but obliged anyway.
When he turned around, he saw the bed that had gotten completely wet.
An idea came to mind.He bent down and began to take off all the bed sheet and quilt cover.He then
went over to the closet and took out a spare bed sheet and quilt cover.He was confident he could put
on the bed sheet.
However, he realized he did not know how to change quilt covers at all.
Whenever he saw the maids change quilt covers, he always thought that it looked simple enough.
All they did was grab it by the corners and shake the quilt.
That was it.He took a deep breath and tried to do it himself, but he failed miserably.He didn't know
changing quilt covers could be so hard! Soon enough, Ryan began to sweat.He took off his coat and
brought out his phone, deciding to consult the Internet again.
But all of a sudden, he heard the bathroom door open.
He turned around and saw Wendy.
Her eyes were fixed on her bed that had become messier than when she left it.
"...uh..."
Ryan brought his fist to his mouth and coughed awkwardly, his ears turning red again.
"I'll figure it out.It should be ready soon.Just wait a minute."
"Uh, okay..."
Wendy couldn't believe her eyes.
Ryan was trying to make the bed and changing her quilt cover! What a strange sight to behold! Wendy
stood there until her legs started to feel weak again.
She leaned against the wall for support.
This was the first time she had ever seen Ryan do any sort of housework.
It was quite obvious that he had never done this before, though, as his movements felt so stiff and
unnatural.
Seeing that Wendy was now having difficulty standing, Ryan hurried to make the bed and frantically
shook the quilt into its new cover.
She didn't think it was possible for her bed to get even messier, but it did.
Wendy couldn't help but burst into laughter.Then, her eyes turned watery.
Warmth spread throughout her body.It was as if she had downed an entire glass of hot water to melt
away the coldness in her heart.
A soothing feeling sat in her chest.
Wendy looked at Ryan.
Although he looked clumsy, she was still moved.
