Endless Fall

Chapter 63: Only Feel Relieved After Seeing Her

When Lin Jiao returned, she did not find anything unusual.

She made a cup of brown sugar ginger tea and focused on finishing the proposal before sending a message to Pei Zhi on WeChat.

“Uncle, I’m not going to your house tonight.”

“What happened?”

“Period. Sigh.”

Pei Zhi opened the calendar and frowned.

He stubbed out the cigarette between his fingers. “Why is it brought forward? Did you eat something you shouldn’t have recently?”

“It’s normal for it to come a few days early.”

“So did you eat anything?”

“Yes.” Lin Jiao touched the tip of her nose. “I ate two ice creams last night.”

Pei Zhi sighed.

He thought of how she was in so much pain that she was hospitalized last year and asked, “Is it very painful?”

“Not really.”

Lin Jiao took a photo of the ginger tea and sent it to him. “This is very effective. Don’t worry.”

Pei Zhi would only be at ease when he saw her.

He waited until it was time to get off work for the employees before picking up the thermos filled with hot water and rushing to the parking lot.

Lin Jiao, who arrived five minutes later than him, looked much worse than in the morning. Even her voice sounded weak when she called him.

“Get in the car and rest.” Pei Zhi handed her the thermos and got into the driver’s seat.

He helped her buckle her seatbelt and placed his palm on her forehead to check her temperature. “Other than your stomach, do you feel unwell anywhere else?”

“No.”

“Then let’s go home first.”

“Okay.” Lin Jiao leaned back on the seat.

She closed her eyes and listened to the soothing music. Before long, she fell asleep.

Pei Zhi parked the car at Ming Xin Mansion.

He first found the key in her bag, then covered her with the blanket before carrying her upstairs.

When he opened the door, Lin Jiao woke up suddenly.

She pointed at the sofa on the right. After he put her down, she whispered, “Uncle, help me get the medicine.”

Pei Zhi found the ibuprofen in the first aid kit.

He placed the capsule in his palm and went over to feed her with a glass of water.

“Ahem…”

Lin Jiao coughed and retched, throwing up the capsule.

She grabbed her collar and looked up at Pei Zhi with teary eyes. “It’s stuck in my throat.”

“It’s fine.” Pei Zhi’s voice was still gentle.

He threw away the capsule she threw up in his palm and fed her another one.

This time, Lin Jiao was in no hurry to swallow down the capsule.

She slowly swallowed the capsule and lay back down when an irresistible sleepiness overwhelmed her. “I’ll sleep for a while more.”

“Alright.” Pei Zhi put down the glass.

He found a blanket and covered her with it before walking into the kitchen to call Shen Yi. “What’s best to eat during periods?”

“Fish, eggs, and meat are all good food. Make sure it’s cooked bland and non-spicy.”

Shen Yi asked, “Are you with Lin Jiao?”

“Yes.” Pei Zhi opened the fridge and took out a pork rib from the bottom. “She just fell asleep.”

“Is it serious?”

“Not this time.”

Shen Yi was slightly relieved.

He took off his white coat. “Then find a hot water bag to warm her abdomen and make some brown sugar water for her.”

Pei Zhi replied, “You’re still at work?”

“I just got off.” Shen Yi closed the office door. “I saw that home-wrecker today.”

“Who?”

“The new girl with Gu Quan.”

If not for him mentioning it, Pei Zhi would have forgotten about her. “Why was she in your hospital?”

Shen Yi smiled. “Make a guess.”
