Much to Amber’s relief, she found some pantyliners stashed in her backpack. She should be able to get by with them until Liam came back. Then, she quickly replaced the soiled sheets and got changed.
Thinking that it was not a good idea to throw her bloodstained sheets and clothing straight into the washing machine, she stuffed them into the laundry basket. She planned to wash them with her hands after Liam was gone.
When Liam made it back, he found that Amber had changed the sheets. He did not ask any questions despite feeling curious.
He did not want to risk aggravating Amber by asking her awkward questions.
“Here’s the thing you need.” Liam handed a carrier bag to Amber. Both of them carefully avoided each other’s eyes during the process.
Amber went speechless when she saw what was inside the carrier bag. The bag was filled to the brim with at least twenty packets of sanitary pads.
They were enough to last her for a couple of months.
“Thanks! How much are they? I should pay you back.” Amber kept her eyes fixed on Liam’s shoes when she thanked him.
“I paid it with my credit card, so I didn’t notice the price.” There was a barely noticeable trace of annoyance in Liam’s level voice.
“He didn’t notice the price! That’s the typical thing rich people do,” Amber muttered in her mind. Just as she wanted to ask Liam to give her an approximate figure, he had left.
Amber was not in the mood to dwell on it. She immediately took a pad and rushed her way into the bathroom.
Colors drained from her face several seconds after she put the pad on as an icy wave surged from her down under right up to her lower belly. She started shivering as her body quickly started losing heat.
Feeling puzzled, she grabbed the packet of sanitary pads and scrutinized its packaging. Only then did she realize that the pads were designed for the summer and they were made with a unique “Cool Pad Technology”.
