In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 104

I am surprised. How could he have grasped my hand without opening his eyes?

But I am even more surprised that he is going to sleep with me on one bed.

I don't behave well when I am asleep. I'll be too nervous to sleep with him here.

“Is it okay?”

I raise my head from his chest and ask.

“Shut up.” The man says lightly and holds me tighter.

He is so tough; I dare not argue with him. I can only lie in his arms quietly, listening to his breathing gradually even.

But I can’t sleep.

I don’t feel comfortable with him holding me like that. I don’t feel sleepy at all.

After a long while, I feel a stir in my stomach, and the pain makes me frown.

And it becomes more and more painful.

I usually have pains during my period, but never as bad as this time.

Beads of sweat come out of my head. I feel so cold that I couldn’t help shivering. I struggle to get up from the bed. I slip downstairs and drink a cup of hot water.

Then I go back upstairs.

I lie on the bed carefully, being afraid to wake Frances Louis up.

I thought drinking hot water is a guarantee to cure all diseases, but the pain in my stomach is getting worse. I couldn't help shrinking into a ball with my arms around my body.

Cold, I still feel cold under the covers.

“What’s the matter?” Frances Louis’s voice comes from behind.

I don't know how he woke up. Is he awaken by my shivering?

I turn to Frances Louis slowly and say with difficulty, “It's all right. Go back to sleep.”

But Frances Louis gets up and looks at me frowningly, “Why do you look so pale, are you ill?”

“I am really fine.”

He can't help me even if I say I suffer from menstrual cramps. And it's better not to tell him something that is so embarrassing and private.

The man’s face darkens down, “tell me.”

Forced by him, I could only say, “menstrual cramps, it never hurts so bad.”

“Go to the hospital.”

He says and begins to get dressed.

“No. Nobody would go to the hospital for this. That’s would be so embarrassing.” I stop him and say feebly.
