Chapter 375 A Difficult Day


    Lucas had just gotten up when Marion’s voice, though soft, resonated in the room. Marion hesitated


    then pulled the nket over herself.


    “I’m going to sleep,” she mumbled the sound escaping from beneath the covers.


    Lucas looked at the bulging figure on the bed and pressed his lips together. He chuckled deeply. The


    huskyughter filled the room, and Marion felt her face growing warmer with each passing moment.


    Ah, she was bing more daring by the day. Her menstruation had transformed Marion from a


    vibrant sunflower into a withering winter rose.


    Perhaps it was due to catching a chillst month when she rescued Alice. At that time, her cycle had


    just left, and despite it being summer, the ident left her weakened and susceptible to the cold.


    So, this month’s cycle was particrly painful. Nights were more manageable as she could sleep


    through the pain.


    However, daytime was a different story. Her face turned deathly pale and her stomach felt like it was


    being twisted into a knot.


    During breakfast, Mrs. Bailey was taken aback by Marion’splexion and expressed her concern,


    suggesting that Marion go to the hospital. Feeling embarrassed, Marion pointed to her stomach,


    exining it was her time of the month.


    “Oh dear, no wonder you’re feeling so ufortable! How about I make you some brown sugar and


    ginger tea?” Mrs. Bailey offered.


    Feeling unwell, Marion did not decline Mrs. Bailey’s kindness. “Sure, thank you, Mrs. Bailey.”

    With her difort, even her appetite waned. She took a few bites of breakfast but could not eat


    much. Cassie messaged her, inquiring about her dinner with Gerald and Mindy.


    Looking at the message, Marion responded without her usual liveliness: [It was fine. His uncle and


    aunt are very kind.]


    Concerned, Cassie noticed something was off. [What’s wrong? Why do I sense you’re not in a good


    mood?]


    Marion replied: [I’m on my period.]


    Cassie could sympathize with her. [You poor thing. Drink more hot water, and let Mrs. Bailey make you


    some tea. Don’t bother replying to me. Go lie down!]


    Marion sent an emoji in response, then rested her head on the table as she waited for Mrs. Bailey to


    bring her some tea.


    Mrs. Bailey wasted no time in preparing the concoction, and soon enough, she brought it out.


    Seeing Marion lying on the table, her heart went out to her. “Is it that painful? Do you want to take a


    painkiller?”


    Marion shook her head, “It’s okay for now. Thank you, Mrs. Bailey,”


    Knowing that ibuprofen could harm the stomach lining and recalling Cassie’s sensitivity to such


    medications, Mrs. Bailey nodded.


    Once she noticed Marion’sck of appetite during breakfast and her subdued state, she suggested,”


    How about I prepare a light and easily digestible lunch for you?”

    “That would be great, Mrs. Bailey,” Marlon replied.


    “Alright, if you need anything, just call me. My daughter sometimes suffers from nausea and diarrhea


    during her period,” Mrs. Bailey said.


    Marion softly agreed with a ‘Hmm‘ and continued sipping the brown sugar and ginger tea in small


    sips.


    After finishing the drink, Marion did not have the energy for her piano practice. She returned to the


    master bedroom and curled up on the bed. Despite having just woken up, she felt tired, and the pain in


    her abdomen was persistent. Eventually, she drifted off to sleep.
