"This time, you’ve been inconvenienced to take the medicine first, but next time I’ll take proper measures and won’t let you take any medicine again."
An Ruo’s gaze landed on the pill bottle in his hand, and she felt a headache coming on.
She wanted medicine for her menstrual pain, not birth control!
Seeing that she didn’t say anything, Tang Yuchen went ahead and poured a pill out, holding out a glass of water for her, "I know you don’t want to have my child, and I won’t force you on this for the time being."
An Ruo looked at him in surprise. She had not expected him to say such a thing, which didn’t seem like his character at all.
"Take the medicine," the man said again.
"You got it wrong..." An Ruo said irritably, "The medicine Aunt Zhou bought for me isn’t this... My stomach hurts. Never mind, I’ll have Aunt Zhou buy it for me."
The man beside her froze. He quickly put down the glass of water, and with a frown of concern said, "If your stomach hurts, you should have told me earlier. Come on, I’ll take you to the hospital."
As he said this, he reached out to grab her arm, but An Ruo dodged his hand.
With that movement, the pain in her abdomen intensified; it felt as if someone was twisting a knife inside her, turning it over and over through her flesh, the pain making her dizzy and nauseous.
Her face turned even paler, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
With her delicate brows tightly furrowed, An Ruo’s countenance was such that even a fool would know she was in great discomfort.
"An Ruo, what’s wrong?" Tang Yuchen pulled her into his arms, asking anxiously as he held her.
"Pain..." she couldn’t articulate a single word beyond expressing her agony.
It was almost like when she was in difficult labor, enduring such intense pain that she wished she could simply close her eyes and not feel anything at all.
"Hold on, I’m going to take you to the hospital right away." The man carefully carried her out of the living room, drove her to the hospital at top speed.
All the way there, An Ruo was groaning softly from the pain, while Tang Yuchen held her hand the whole time, constantly comforting her.
"Don’t be afraid, nothing bad will happen... Don’t worry, I’m here; you won’t be hurt."
Feeling his voice tremble slightly, she couldn’t help but doubt, wondering who actually was the one who was scared.
An Ruo was fine; it was just menstrual pain after all.
But if a woman’s menstrual pain was severe, it could still be a sign of a serious condition.
After taking medicine and getting an IV, An Ruo, lying in the hospital bed, felt much better and not as much in pain.
Tang Yuchen sat beside her, stroking her head gently, and he said softly, "Sleep for a while. After the IV is done, we’ll go home."
"Yuchen, I knew it was you who came." Liang Weiming’s voice preceded him, "I saw your car downstairs... Isn’t this An Ruo? What happened to her?"
Liang Weiming walked over, his hand habitually caressing An Ruo’s forehead, which felt very cool.
"What illness?" he asked with a frown of concern.
"Uncle Liang." An Ruo showed a faint smile, replying, "It’s just a minor issue, just some pain in the lower abdomen."
Liang Weiming was an authoritative doctor, and he instantly understood that An Ruo was experiencing menstrual pain.
He comforted her with a few words, then told Tang Yuchen to be careful in the future to nurse her properly and not to let her condition worsen.
Women’s health issues, if they become too serious, can affect a woman’s health for her entire life.
He spoke very seriously, and Tang Yuchen listened very attentively, as if An Ruo’s condition was very severe.
After discussing An Ruo’s situation, Liang Weiming finally spoke about the reason he came to see him, "By the way, yesterday I gave Yun..."
"Uncle Liang, let’s talk outside. Let An Ruo rest well for a bit."
