Chapter 112: Buying Medicine

Old Master Ji had not had enough fun yet, but neither of them wanted to keep playing with him anymore. In addition, it was getting late, so both of them wanted to let Old Master Ji sleep.

Ji Lingchen put away the cards. He sat on the sofa and started reading a document on his phone. Fang Xiaonuan rested her head on her husband’s leg and played with her phone.

An hour passed quickly. Fang Xiaonuan suddenly put down her phone and cried out in pain, “Hubby, my stomach hurts…”

Ji Lingchen had not finished reading the documents. He thought that his wife was about to act coquettishly again, so she asked, “What’s wrong? Did the baby kick you?”

Fang Xiaonuan’s little face was red. She hurriedly sat up, and she suddenly felt something warm between her legs. It was her period. She did not bring anything!

Fang Xiaonuan quickly crossed her legs and went to the bathroom. After she came out, she rushed to the nurses’ station. After a while, she returned to the ward with a pack of sanitary pads.

Ji Lingchen looked at what Fang Xiaonuan was holding and finally understood what his wife was doing.

A few minutes later, Fang Xiaonuan came out again. She lay back on the sofa and curled up.

Ji Lingchen saw that his wife was frowning and that her face was pale. Could it be that she had lost too much blood?

“Xiaonuan, what’s wrong?” Ji Lingchen asked worriedly.

Fang Xiaonuan waved her hand weakly and said, “Hubby, don’t talk to me first. I need to rest for a moment.”

“Does your stomach hurt?” Ji Lingchen asked.

Fang Xiaonuan nodded reluctantly and said weakly, “I feel like a big rock has fallen onto my stomach. Even breathing hurts.” She did not even have much strength to speak. She seemed completely different from the energetic girl she had been a moment ago.

Ji Lingchen saw his wife’s uncomfortable expression and touched her head with heartache. There was actually a layer of sweat on her forehead. It looked like it was really painful.

Fang Xiaonuan’s physique was not very good. She always failed to pay attention to her menstrual cycle. She would have menstrual cramps if she ate something spicy or cold. However, she did not expect the pain to be so severe here in the hospital. She kept taking deep breaths, but the pain did not ease at all. She was in so much pain that she was about to cry. She whimpered pitifully and sobbed. “I won’t dare to eat ice cream, snacks, cold beer, and french fries anymore.”

Ji Lingchen looked at his wife who was curled up into a ball. He was no longer in the mood to work. When he saw his wife clutching her stomach with her small hands, he quickly rubbed his hands together to generate some warmth and put them on her stomach.

Fang Xiaonuan’s stomach felt warm. Her eyes were misty as she said, “Hubby…”

Ji Lingchen was suddenly at a loss. He quickly pulled his hand back and grabbed a pillow for his wife to lay down on. He said, “Wait for me. I’m going out for a while.”

Ji Lingchen left the ward. He stood in the corridor and typed in a string of words. He typed “What should I do if my wife has menstrual cramps? What should I do when I have menstrual cramps?”

Twenty minutes passed quickly, but Ji Lingchen still had not returned to the ward.

Fang Xiaonuan was in so much pain that she was about to collapse. She wanted to get some hot water to ease the cramps, but the pain was so severe that she could barely move.

At that moment, Ji Lingchen returned with a bag in his hand. Seeing that his wife had already sat up, he asked, “Why are you suddenly up?”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “Hubby, I’m in too much pain. I want to get some hot water.”

Old Master Ji had already fallen asleep. The two of them spoke softly and did not wake him up.

Ji Lingchen helped his wife lean on the sofa and opened the bag. The bag was filled with medicine. He took out two painkillers and a thermos cup.

Fang Xiaonuan did not understand what her husband wanted to do, so she asked, “Hubby, what’s wrong? Why do you need to take the medicine?”

Ji Lingchen looked at his wife and said, “Open your mouth.”

“Huh?” Fang Xiaonuan was already in pain, but she was still concerned about her husband. “Hubby, I didn’t steal anything. What’s wrong with you?”

Ji Lingchen had no choice but to pull Fang Xiaonuan into his arms. He reached out and put the medicine in her mouth. “Be good. Eat the medicine.”

Fang Xiaonuan finally understood. “Oh? This medicine is for me?”

Ji Lingchen said, “Yes, it’s for pain relief. It can relieve menstrual cramps.”

Fang Xiaonuan looked at the two small pills in her husband’s hand. She felt warmth in her chest. Her nose started burning and tears filled her eyes instantly. Her husband had gone out just now to buy medicine for her. It was so late. The pharmacy had closed long ago, so he would have had to go to many places to find this medicine.

In fact, she had completely forgotten that she was still in the hospital, and the hospital had all kinds of medicine. At this moment, she was only immersed in how moved she was. She was gazing at her husband with deep affection.
