“Why are you still standing there? Get in the car and hurry to the hospital now!” Sebastian hollered, with his tone full of anxiousness.
Of course, Karl did not dare to waste any more time.
An hour later, they arrived at the hospital.
“Madam, aren’t you just on your period? What’s the fuss all about?”
“What?”
Sasha, who still had her hand over her belly while sitting on the bed, widened her eyes in surprise.
Period cramps?
Is he a quack doctor? I’ve only used acupuncture to improve my blood circulation. Yet, he said I’m on my period?
When Sebastian heard the doctor say that, his face stiffened. What followed was a stern glare at Sasha.
She then quickly explained, “It’s not that. M-My period isn’t here yet, so how is it possible that I’m having period cramps? He must have given a wrong diagnosis.”
Sebastian was rendered speechless.
“Miss, you’ve stained our bedsheets. How could you still deny it? Shouldn’t you know your body conditions the best?” The nurse aside pointed to the sheets and retorted unpleasantly.
Sasha could not catch what the nurse meant.
She lowered her head and looked over to find that the doctor was indeed right. There was a messy stain below her skirt, forming a stark contrast between the crisp white sheets.
Unable to formulate a response, Sasha grabbed the blanket and covered herself up, hiding from the others.
The veins on Sebastian’s forehead throbbed and became visibly apparent.
However, there was nothing else he could do. All he could do was settle the matter on Sasha’s behalf since things had gotten to that point.
“Since you’ve figured out the cause, then hurry up and treat her!”
“Sir, there’s no treatment for menstrual cramps. You’ll have to regularly ensure that she’s kept warm and also give her more ginger tea.”
“I didn’t ask about regular care. I’m asking you for treatment now, be it a shot or some pills. Don’t give me all sorts of excuses.”
It was clear that Sebastian had lost his patience.
The doctor was intimidated by Sebastian’s imposing aura and did not dare to talk anymore. He quickly prescribed some painkillers before asking the nurse to put Sasha on an intravenous drip.
How weird. All I did was pricking an acupuncture point. How did I manage to summon my period?
Sasha was pretty frustrated about it.
As she did not dare to trouble Sebastian again, she pleaded in a low voice for help when the nurse was helping her with the drip. “Miss, can you help me go get a pack of that?”
The nurse stared at her. “Isn’t your husband here? Where would I have the luxury of time to go buy it for you?”
