Chapter 65 Period Cramps
Not long after, the lobby manager rushed over with an exquisite shopping bag.
Inside the shoe box was a pair of silver-white flat shoes with pointy ends. There were some golden nails around it for decoration. The two thin straps added a bit of beauty to it. The style was simple and elegant.
Edwiin put her feet in the flat shoes and asked her whether they were suitable or not. Then, he wrapped the two thin ribbons around her slender calves.
After putting on the flat shoes, Suzanne seemed to have become shorter. After standing up from the sofa, the hemline of her skirt dragged to the ground. She quickly lifted the hem of her skirt and said with a conflicted expression, “Why don’t I put on high heels?”
“There will be a dance later. If I hold my skirt hem to dance, it will be so embarrassing!”
Edwiin lowered his head slightly and looked at her with his dark eyes.
Suzanne quickly looked away, took his arm, and left the rest area obediently. She didn’t dare to say a word. Fortunately, the banquet hall was covered with a carpet, so she didn’t have to worry that her skirt would get dirty even if it fell to the ground.
Edwiin worried that Suzanne would suffer, so he didn’t take her to the crowded places. Occasionally, he would say hello to acquaintances. When he saw people whose profession were close to hers, he would take her up to talk to them.
In just an hour, Suzanne had received several business cards from first-class entrepreneurs, including the phone numbers of two famous singers. She was overjoyed.
She didn’t expect to gain so much by coming to the banquet!
Although most of the credit should go to Edwiin, she was very happy to think that she would have got something to do in the next few months. She was no longer depressed, and there was a faint smile on her face.
Edwiin glanced at her smiling face and took a sip of red wine. “It’s so tiring to read the materials and drafts all day long, but you’re still so happy.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“They are all bonuses.” Suzanne put a few business cards in her bag, and her voice was full of joy. “If I can make an appointment with them successfully, I will get a lot of bonuses.”
Edwiin deliberately sneered.
Suzanne was already used to his disdain and couldn’t be bothered to explain.
How could a nobody like her, who had been working in the TV station, compare to a capitalist like Edwiin?
A large enterprise under Edwiin earned 15 dollars per second. The income of one week was equivalent to her salary in recent years, not to mention the bonus. It was just a little for him.
Suzanne picked up a glass of red wine from the waiter’s tray and followed Edwiin to an acquaintance. She greeted him politely. As soon as she took a sip of the red wine, before the liquid flowed down her throat, her stomach slightly throbbed in pain.
Later on, the slight pain turned into cramps. She could not help but frown. She bent slightly and the smile on her face was almost gone. She looked pale.
When Edwiin saw her, he placed his palm on her waist to support her. He asked softly, “What’s wrong?”
Suzanne shook her head. “I’m fine. My stomach hurts a little.”
Edwiin turned around and apologized to his acquaintance before leaving with Suzanne. However, before Suzanne could take more than two steps, she groaned and the goblet slipped from her hand. She was so weak that she almost fell over.
Edwiin pursed his lips and his eyes turned cold. He threw his glass at the waiter next to him, picked up Suzanne in his arms, and walked quickly toward the banquet hall’s entrance.
On both sides of the red carpet outside the hotel, countless media reporters were waiting for news. When they saw someone coming out, they quickly took action.
And when they saw that the person who came out was Edwiin, they became even more excited.
The car had already been driven over by a hotel staff.
Edwiin quickly walked toward the car with her in his arms. He didn’t even look at the reporters. His aura was cold, and his voice was neither too loud nor too low, which could be heard clearly by the people around him even through there were various clicking lights.
“Calm down. Report some other news tomorrow.”
Such simple words made all the media reporters stop. Their focus was no longer on him. They looked at him quietly and even felt a little afraid.
What he meant was simple and clear. And everyone understood it.
The black Zonda was racing on the wide asphalt road. Edwiin breathed heavily and glanced at Suzanne in the passenger seat. She was getting paler and paler, so he stepped on the gas harder.
Soon, the car arrived at the hospital.
Edwiin carried her out of the car and ran straight to the emergency department. With a cold voice, he asked the nurse to call the chief physician over.
The chief physician of the emergency department had just finished dealing with a patient and was resting. Before he could take two bites for lunch, he was urged out by a nurse running hurriedly.
The chief physician looked impatient, thinking, “Don’t hurry me. If he or she won’t be in a serious situation, why not just wait outside for a while. I’ve been on duty until now and I haven’t had a bite. I almost starved to death!”
However, when he found out Edwiin in the corridor, the chief physician swallowed his curses and led Edwiin to the nearest ward seriously.
“Oh my god, it hurts!” Suzanne gritted her teeth. Her forehead was covered with sweat. Leaning against Edwiin’s chest, she almost fainted from the cramps.
“It’s all right. We’re at the hospital now.” Edwiin comforted her and looked coldly at the chief physician.
The chief physician’s heart trembled and he hurriedly asked him to put Suzanne on the bed. He hurriedly took out all kinds of instruments to examine Suzanne. In just a few seconds, he was stunned.
“What are you waiting for?” Edwiin glared at him. “What’s wrong with her?”
“It’s not a big deal.” The chief physician looked a little awkward. Looking at Suzanne, who was curled up on the hospital bed, his words were a little stuttering. “She’s having period cramps.”
Edwiin looked gloomy. He knew that women would have period cramps sometimes, but what Suzanne’s was too scary. It was more a torture than cramps.
“Every month?”
The chief physician was a little confused. Seeing that Edwiin was asking him, he rubbed his nose uneasily and said, “Not really. Occasionally. Maybe it’s because she didn’t pay attention to her food before.”
Edwiin frowned slightly. “Is there a need to prescribe some medicine?”
“No, no. It’s not a big deal.” The chief physician waved his hand. When he saw that the man showed no signs of anger, he couldn’t help heaving a sigh of relief, “I’ll ask the nurse to bring a few pieces of heatwraps over.”
“You can also put your hand on her abdomen to make her warm. Although it’s not so useful, it can relieve her pain. Pay more attention in the next few days. Don’t make her eat those raw cold things and drink more brown sugar water.”
After sending the chief physician out, Edwiin sat down at the side of the bed. Looking at Suzanne’s extremely pale face, he felt sorry for her.
He picked up a thin blanket from the side and covered her with it. His hand moved along her skirt and moved upward bit by bit. His burning palm covered her abdomen as he massaged her gently, hoping to ease some of the pain for her.
