Ryan was currently making Wendy's bed.
Only her mother and sister had ever done that for her.
Her memory of her mother was hazy if she had not found out about the video of her mother’s death,
Wendy would have completely forgotten what her mother looked like.
Wendy stayed in Spring County with her sister in her childhood.
When their grandmother had gotten old, she and Reese tried their best to share the housework.
Because her sister loved her very much, she always made Wendy's bed whenever she was free.
Then, they moved back to Ywood.
Sadly, after her sister got married, nobody made her bed anymore; that was, until now.
At that moment, Wendy saw the embarrassed look on Ryan's face, and her eyes welled up with tears.
Suddenly, he cast the quilt aside and broke the silence.
"Your door is broken.I'm afraid you can't sleep here tonight.You should stay in my suite instead."
"Okay," Wendy replied.
With that, Ryan helped Wendy settle into the next suite.
"You can lie down on the bed for a while.I'll just go to your suite and get the hot water," he said.
"I'm okay.I'll just lie on the sofa.I don't want to get your bed wet with my sweat."
However, Ryan insisted on supporting her to the bedside.
"If you get the bed sheet wet, just ask a staff member to change it.Now, lie down and rest!"
"Okay."
Wendy lay down on the bed just as he said.
Ryan went to the next suite.When he returned a few moments later, he was holding a kettle and her
suitcase.
"Does it still hurt?" he asked.
"Yes."
Ryan sat on the bedside and massaged her abdomen under the quilt.
Wendy was exhausted.
However, she could not sleep because of the pain.
With her eyebrows furrowed, she closed her eyes and tried to rest.
"Do all women suffer this much?" Ryan asked worriedly.
"Not really."
"What do you mean?"
"It depends on the woman's body.Some women have problems with their uterus, which made their
periods extremely painful."
"If that's the case, is there something wrong with yours?"
"Yes.In fact, I didn't have painful periods before.I think it's partly because I was thrown into the sea.I
started having this problem since I gave birth."
The hand on her belly suddenly froze.
Confused, Wendy opened her eyes, only to see Ryan looking at her guiltily.
"It has nothing to do with you," Wendy said and yawned.
'How could it have nothing to do with me? To put it simply, Wendy's suffering began four years ago.If it
were not for me, she would not have gotten pregnant, and the rest would not have happened"
Sadly, it was too late to apologize.
Ryan pursed his lips and said nothing.He swore to himself that he would make it up to her little by little
for the rest of his life.
Twenty minutes later, Luke returned.
When he came back, he was drenched in sweat, and he was holding a thermos in his hand.
"Argh! It took me a long time to find a supermarket and buy ginger.I asked the hotel chef to make the
soup for me.Wendy, drink this while it's still hot."
He opened the lid, and a pungent smell of ginger came to Wendy's nose.
"What's that?" Wendy asked, horrified.
"Well, Ryan searched online and found that ginger with brown sugar could relieve menstrual pain, so
he asked me to buy the ingredients.Come on, Wendy.Drink this before it cools."
Wendy could not help but look at the thermos in disgust.
The soup was dark red and had a pungent odor.She turned to face Ryan.
"Are you sure that's effective?"
"People said it is." Ryan took a cup and filled it to the brim.
"Drink it," he ordered sternly.
"What if I say no? It's not that painful anymore."
"Would you rather drink this yourself, or I'll make you?"
‘How annoying!’ Wendy exclaimed inwardly.
She was grateful to him just now, but she was now taking it back.
With her teeth gritted in annoyance, she took the cup and drank it up with her eyes closed.
No words could explain how terrible the smell was.However, the ginger and brown sugar soup warmed
her stomach and relieved her menstrual cramps in an instant.
‘Do you feel better now?" Ryan asked with concern.
“Yes."
Once she drank up the soup, Luke handed her another dag as though he was presenting a treasure.
"What is it?"
‘Just hot-water bag and some medicine." Wendy was touched.
‘How could Ryan be so considerate? If this goes on, I will fall in love with him"
At that moment, Ryan poured hot water into the bag, wrapped it with a towel, and put it on her belly
over her clothes.
The pain in her lower abdomen subsided, and she finally stopped sweating.
This was actually the first time she had suffered from such intense menstrual pain in years.
But then, this was also the first time the pain was quickly alleviated.
In the past, she had no choice but to endure the pain dayand night.
She would not feel better until the next day.
A few moments later, Wendy finally regained some strength and turned over.
However, she still felt uncomfortable as her clothes that were drenched in sweat was sticking to her
body.
Not only was her hair wet, but also the pillow.It was irritating.
"I want to take a shower," she said in a low voice.
"Are you sure you can do that?"Ryan asked worriedly.
"Yes.I'll be fine." Ryan knew she would not be able to sleep well in that state.
"Let me help you."
While Wendy was taking a shower in the bathroom, Ryan patiently waited outside for her.
"Luke,"he called.
"What?" Luke walked over while rubbing his eyes and yawning.
"I'll give you a day off tomorrow."
Luke's sleepiness dissipated, and he became in high spirits in an instant.
"Yay! Bro, if you need anything, just tell me."
"Make an appointment with Kevin for me." Luke's mouth fell open.
"Leo's grandfather?"he asked, his eyes wide in disbelief.
"Yes." Luke suddenly felt an urge to cry.
‘Oh my God! Why does Ryan love making things difficult for me?’ Leo's grandfather was a famous
doctor.
He had superb medical knowledge and skills in gynecology and pediatrics.
When he was still actively treating patients, people all over the country would come to see him.
But now he was more than 80 years old and had already retired from the medical community.He had
announced that he would no longer be treating patients.
The old man was as stubborn as a mule.
Even if Leo, his grandson, was the one asking for a favor, there was no guarantee that he would do it.
"Ryan..." Luke protested.
"I'll give you twice the year-end bonus." Luke gritted his teeth in annoyance.
"Fine.I'll do my best."
He was a considerate younger brother, after all.
"You can go now."
"What?!"
"Wendy will be staying in this suite for the night.I'll take care of her.You can get another suite." Luke
was speechless.
‘How could Ryan kick me out after using me? Fuck! How could he have the heart to do this?’ Ryan
cast a glance at his stubborn younger brother.
"I'll compensate you for your expenses."
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who can be bought off? I'm fot!"
"I doubt it."
"You've gone too far, Ryan! I've expressed my willingness to help you.How can you turn me away just
like this and expect that you can pay me in return?"
"I'll pay you triple."
"It's not about money! I'm offended.How could you treat your brother like this? Think about the time
when we grew up together—"
"Tenfold!"
"Deal!" Luke replied without a second thought.
