Chapter 61 Relieve
The scenario at the first shop.
“Shopkeeper, what’s with that look? Don’t you have any women at home? Even if you don’t have a wife, you must have a mother, right? What’s with that expression over such a typical physiological issue?”
The scenario at the second shop..
“Hello, boss. Just to clarify, I’m not buying this for myself, and I don’t have any peculiar fetishes.”
The scenario at the third shop.
“Hey, can you say something? Why are you staring at me? Hey, hey, bro, don’t come any closer. What are you trying to do?”
“Don’t move. let me finish. If you have a sanitary pad, just nod; if you don’t, just shake your head. That’s all. You don’t have to say anything else. And…stay away from me.”
“You’re a pervert! Your entire family is a bunch of perverts. Do you believe I can’t understand your gibberish? Don’t you want to stay in Melfrey?”
“Stop dragging me. I have to have a showdown with him today.”
Dylan cursed and grumbled. His henchmen forced him away from another store. He was so mad that he cursed in front of the store for a good two minutes, letting out all the swear words he knew in his life.
It was an unprecedented display of rudeness and aggression.
Taking a deep breath, he turned to see his henchmen trying hard to contain their laughter, their facial features contorted.
Dylan fired away angrily, “What are you laughing at? Keep looking! I doubt we can’t find it in such a big city as Melfrey!”
In the hotel, George noticed Isabelle’s complexion was pale, and sweat covered her forehead and nose. She appeared cold. George remembered something and fetched the blanket he had used the previous night.
spread it out and covered Isabelle’s belly and legs with it.
George was decisive in the business world, but this was the first time he encountered such a situation. Apart from offering a glass of warm water and a blanket, he didn’t know what else to do.
He saw that Isabelle was in discomfort and asked, “Ms. Jenkins, would you like to make a trip to the hospital? Or perhaps you need some painkillers?”
“I’m alright,” Isabelle replied softly
George could only relent.
Suddenly, he recalled something else. So he took out his phone and quietly went googling.
After learning a bit, he sent a message to Dylan to bring some honey back.

Chapter 61 Relieve
Isabelle spoke up suddenly and took George by surprise. When he realised why Isabelle needed the needle, he readily agreed.
Dylan finally returned when Isabelle was on the brink of losing her patient.
George went to open the door.
Dylan seemed to have been through some hardship; he looked disheveled. His meticulously styled hair was now messy, his clothes wrinkled, and the originally sharp eyes above his mask became dull.
George couldn’t help but furrow his brow at the sight.
Was he shopping or attempting a robbery?
“Mr. George,” Dylan said weakly as he pulled down his mask. His expression was one of lifelessness, and he sajd, “I ….. I have a dust allergy, so I have to wear a mask,”
Feeling the weight of George’s incredulous gaze, Dylan lamented inwardly about his tarnished image. He said, “Here are the needles and honey you asked for, and that thing. Dylan handed over the items to George as if passing a hot potato.
It was a large black plastic bag, bulging with its contents.
George took the heavy bag and furrowed his brow. He scolded, “Didn’t you buy a little too much? What’s the matter? Are you using them too?!”
“Supplies are scarce; it’d better to have more just in case. You have no idea how hard it is to find these things. I’ve searched through half of Melfrey’s shops…”
Before Dylan could finish his sentence, the door slammed shut with a bang.
He looked at the door, which nearly touched his nose, and overcame his helplessness to finish his words.
Those shopkeepers, they’re too bad.”
George looked at the various packages in the bag, feeling overwhelmed. He randomly grabbed two and handed them to Isabelle in the bathroom.
iss Jenkins? The stuff is here.”
George knocked on the door.
In the two–plus hours that Dylan was away for shopping, Isabelle had gone to the bathroom at least five times. She hadn’t come out after the last trip.
There was some commotion coming from the bathroom.
After a while, the door opened a crack.
