"What's wrong? You look bad, is there something wrong?" Cara looked at Ruby's appearance and spoke with a worried face.
Ruby shook her head, "Grandma, I'm fine, I probably didn't rest well last night."
As she had only just finished speaking, Cara looked abruptly at Levi.
The corners of Levi's mouth couldn't help but twitch, rubbing his nose before speaking, "Want to go back to sleep?"
"Okay. You guys take your time to eat, don't mind me." Ruby got up and went straight back to her room.
It was true that she had not rested well last night and was mentally dishevelled, and another important reason was that she was on her period.
She often suffered from her period, and when Logan was alive, he prescribed her medicine, and it took her a few years to get better.
As she was just getting better, the Grant family had an accident.
The death of Nellie and Logan, and the illness of Cara for she had suffered a great deal of stress, had left Ruby with a huge responsibility and pressure on her shoulders, and later she had been sent to F Country, a country she was unfamiliar with. It was lucky that she could survive, so she did not have time to care for her own health.
She tried to regulate it again over the years, but found that she had taken several doses of medicine without much success.
Ruby lied in bed, her face pale.
Levi came in after eating and was a bit worried when he saw her: "Are you alright?"
"I am okay." Ruby shook her head and shrank her entire body under the cover.
Seeing Ruby in this state, Levi thought for a moment before turning around and going out, finding Cara: "Grandma, Ruby doesn’t seem to be feeling well, do you know what’s wrong?"
The old lady, who had heard the words and calculated the time, instantly understood, and came to Levi's ear and whispered a word.
He coughed to hide his embarrassment before he went to the kitchen to boil a bowl of brown sugar and ginger tea and brought it in for Ruby as instructed by Cara.
"Get up and drink it first, it will warm up your stomach." Levi carried steaming sugar water over and placed it on the table before reaching out to help Ruby up.
At this moment, Ruby was very weak and did not resist, allowing Levi to help her up and sit against the bed.
Levi handed her the ginger tea.
Ruby smelled the smell and immediately frowned in disgust: "Brown sugar ginger tea? I don't want to drink it."
"You will be better after drinking it, be good and drink it." Levi coaxed Ruby as if she was a child.
But Ruby, who usually seemed to be quite nice, refused to drink the bowl of ginger tea this time.
"Why don't you drink it? Don't like the taste of brown sugar? Or don't like ginger?" Levi frowned at Ruby.
It was rare for Ruby to have such a weak and childish side, and he was amused.
"Neither." Ruby replied sullenly.
She hated the smell of ginger, and the exact reason for what happened was pretty much forgotten by now.
But even if it hurt like hell when her period came, she should never take a sip of ginger tea.
"This is good for your health, at least you will feel better." Levi looked at her helplessly, and could only persuade her patiently.
