Chapter 67 The Stained Sheets
It was almost two o’clock in the morning. The street was deserted, and there was almost no one on it.
Edwiin drove for almost half an hour before he found a 24-hour convenience store, but when he went in, he didn’t find any brown sugar.
“Sorry, I didn’t bring the goods from the warehouse after selling out last time.” The night-shift clerk was very sorry. “How about the honey?”
“Can she drink honey when she’s having period cramps?” Edwiin frowned. He didn’t quite understand.
The scrounger froze for a moment and then understood that this man’s girlfriend was going through cramps. She looked at the big pendulum clock on the wall and said, “It’s better for brown sugar to drink it in the morning rather than at night.”
“I just helped her put the heatwrap on her.” Edwiin said, “I was afraid that she would still hurt later, so I wanted to make some brown sugar water for her to drink.”
The staff smiled. “It doesn’t matter. Since you had done that, there’s no need for the brown sugar water.”
“She’s in pain twice.” Edwiin didn’t look very happy. He asked, “Is she being this kind really okay? Will it be the same next month?”
“That is not a problem,” The cleanup staff smiled. “You do not need to worry too much about it. Period cramps is something that happens occasionally. She might be fine by tomorrow morning. Who knows. It is not as though she is going to suffer like this every month.”
“I’ve never seen such a considerate boyfriend like you running out in the middle of the night,” the staff said enviously. It seemed as if she had thought of something. She took out a small bag from under the counter, which contained some hawthorn.
The salesgirl pushed a small bag of hawthorn and the can of honey in front of him. “Go back and boil water to put the hawthorn in. Add a little honey and feed her a few spoonful of it. But pay attention that she can’t drink too much at night.”
Edwiin pointed at the small bag of hawthorn. “Is this yours?”
“Yeah, the hawthorn of this brand is delicious. Unfortunately, we don’t have any hawthorn for sale.” The shop assistant was a little embarrassed. “I bought it from outside to satisfy my craving.”
“Thank you.” Edwiin nodded at her, the corners of his mouth tugging up a little.
He rarely smiled. At this moment, the smile on his face was like a cold plum blossom in the twelfth lunar month, which made others flipped in the heart.
The staff was shocked and she quickly held onto her face.
God, this man was originally good-looking with a cold face, but now he smiled, which really made people’s hearts tremble.
Edwiin glanced at her meaningfully and the smile on his face faded a little. He put one hundred dollars on the cash register and quickly left the convenience store with his stuff.
After driving back to the apartment, Edwiin boiled the water again, put some hawthorn and honey in the cup, poured water, stirred them with a spoon, and then took them to the master bedroom after they cooled down a little.
He followed the salesgirl’s advice and fed Suzanne a few spoonfuls of it. Then he sat by the bed and stared at her for a long time. After making sure that there was no sign of pain, he took the cup and went out.
The long and difficult night finally passed, and the sun gradually emerged.
With Edwiin’s attentive care last night, Suzanne no longer showed any signs of cramps. She looked better.
Sensing the strange environment, Suzanne got up from the bed with a scream. She moved slightly to the side, lifted the blanket, and furrowed.
She ran out of the room on a pair of slippers in a hurry. As soon as she stepped out, she was stunned.
“When did the apartment become so big? Where is the bathroom? Why is the sofa also light gray?”
Suzanne’s eyes wandered around the living room several times, and finally, she patted her forehead and cried out in annoyance. This was not the apartment that she and Nancy lived in, but Edwiin’s apartment!
“Why are you standing there in a dilemma after waking up?”
Hearing Edwiin’s usual cold voice, Suzanne was shocked and looked back at him reflexively. Only then did she realize that he had just come out of the kitchen with a small porcelain bowl in his hand.
The sticky feeling caused by the cramps made her awkward and she hid inside the door. Leaning against the door frame, she squeaked. Her voice was very low and she was a little nervous and uneasy. “Good morning, Edwiin.”
“Go wash up and have breakfast.” Edwiin picked up the coat placed on the sofa and pointed to the dining table. “There aren’t any clothes here. I’ll get out to buy one for you.”
Suzanne glanced at him and saw that he was about to change his shoes. She bit her lower lip and couldn’t help but ask, “Hey, Edwiin, can you buy some things for me?”
“What else do you want?”
Hearing his question, Suzanne’s face turned even redder. She really didn’t know what to say!
Edwiin raised his eyes to look at her, only to find that she was hiding behind the door bashfully and didn’t say anything. It seemed that she was a little shy. Thinking that her period of every month came, he seemed to understand and turned to leave the apartment.
“What does he mean?” Suzanne didn’t react until he left. Biting her nails, she entered the room and muttered, “Does he think I want something to eat?”
Suzanne went to the bathroom to wash up. The sticky feeling made her feel a little uncomfortable, but it was not her place to change, so she had to endure it. Even if she went to have breakfast, she could only stand and eat.
In addition to steamed buns, ham sausages, and grilled toasts, there was also a bowl of brown sugar boiled egg brought out from the kitchen by Edwiin. The color was dark and the aroma was tempting.
Suzanne pursed her lips and placed her fingers on the porcelain bowl to test the temperature. When she saw that the temperature was right, she took up a small sip of the brown sugar water. The sweetness was just right and the temperature was just right. It was very nourishing to the stomach.
When she saw the shallow eyebags under Edwiin’s eyes, she found that he looked tired. “Did my cramps last night cause him to be so busy taking care of me?”
Suzanne’s mood became even more complicated when he thought of how considerate Edwiin was taking care of him.
It was precisely because she could vaguely sense some of his thoughts that she felt terrified and uneasy. She took a few steps back, but did not expect him to get closer and closer, leaving her with nowhere to run.
Suzanne rubbed the space between her eyebrows and made a plan in her mind. When she went to work, she must inform her leader that she would be transferred to the evening shift for the next few months and avoid being called home as much as possible so as not to have too much contact with Edwiin.
Not long after, Edwiin, who had gone out to buy something, returned.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
At this time, many shops were closed. He went around and went home to get a set of clothes for her. Then he went to the mall to buy something before turning back.
Suzanne blushed and took the things from his hands. She quickly ran back to the bathroom to change.
Edwiin was considerate. He thought that it was not convenient for her at this time, so he deliberately brought a long, pure-black dress. The black dress matched the silver-white shoes.
“Edwiin, I’m sorry.” Suzanne bit her lip and came out of the room. Her long hair draped over her shoulders covered half of her beautiful face. She said in a low voice, “The bedsheets were stained.”
