The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 385

"Idiot, if you talk nonsense again, I'll beat you up!" Jessica declared as she exerted her authority, partly to discipline Daniel, but also to affirm her sovereignty. She knew even though Beauty ridiculed him now, she couldn't rule out the chance of a spark in the future. Women didn't like Daniel at first sight, but after spending time with him, they couldn't help but fall for him. It was as if he had some mystical power. Especially with beautiful women – this idiot somehow always managed to charm them.

...

Back at the Matthews mansion, Jessica settled Beauty into the building where Daniel was staying. Recently for convenience, Jessica had moved into the same building, though she did not share a room with Daniel.

In the middle of the night, a half-asleep Jessica was startled awake by moans coming from the next room – Beauty was crying out. Jessica quickly slipped into her slippers and dashed next door, flinging the door open. Beauty was curled up in a ball on the bed, clutching her stomach and rolling with pain, her wails echoing in the room. Relieved, Jessica reassured herself it was just menstrual cramps and not what she had dreaded.

For a moment when she first heard the sounds, Jessica suspected Daniel was in Beauty's room. Had that been the case, she would have killed that idiot on the spot!

Seeing Beauty in pain, Jessica hastened to her side, full of concern.

"Are you okay? Should I call a doctor?"

"A doctor? Can a doctor cure menstrual cramps? Do you have any ibuprofen?"

"Ibuprofen might help with the pain, but it's not a cure and could damage your health in the long run. Otherwise, let me call Daniel. He's really good at medicine—even Joshua, the top doctor in the USA, has praised his skills."

"Joshua? As in, Joshua of The Grants?"

"Yes, that's him."
