The medicine eventually took effect.


    "No... I was fighting with my brother... I''m so frustrated that... I feel like I''m getting my period..." La exined.


    Eric had not expected her to say this and thought to himself, "She is just starting to recover from food poisoning, and now, she is on her period. Should she continue taking her antibiotics, then? What am I supposed to do?"


    Eric was not at all experienced in this and knew that warm water might help, so he brought her a ss of water.


    "Let me call the doctor." Eric set the ss on the nightstand and took out his phone.


    La looked up and said, "I''m just on my period. You don''t need a doctor for that... You might as well go get me some sanitary pads..."Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Eric was the only person there to help her.


    He flushed and nodded after putting his phone away. "I''ll go get those. Do you need anything else?"


    La could not think of anything else and said, "that''s all I need."


    "Okay. Hang in there. I wille back right away." Eric knew that he would not be of any help even if he stayed and hurried out of the apartment.


    As soon as he stepped out of the door, he called the doctor to check if La should continue taking her medication.


    "She can continue taking them. Her medication does not affect her period," the doctor said.


    "Okay. What else do I have to pay attention to?" Eric asked.


    "She will need to rest and avoid cold ces or exhaustion. Just get her to stay in bed."


    "What about what she eats?"


    "Just make sure she doesn''t eat any spicy food. She can go back to eating normally once her stomach recovers from the food poisoning! It''s normal for women to get their periods. You don''t have to be that worried."


    "How can you say that? She is in so much pain. More now than when she would be if she were just suffering from food poisoning."


    "Some women suffer from painful menstrual cycles, but painkillers can easily counter that issue."


    "Can she take painkillers, then?"


    "Sure. Just make sure she waits a while after she takes her antibiotics before taking the painkillers."


    "Okay." Eric ended the call and headed to a pharmacy to purchase a brand of painkiller that he personally thought was effective before asking the staff to rmend another brand.


    Afterward, he headed to the closest store and stopped at the aisle that stored all the feminine products.


    He had never paid these products any mind in the past and had no clue as to which to choose.


    "Sir, are you on an errand for your girlfriend? Are you looking for day use or night use? What about materials? What brand does she normally use?" A salesperson came over to help.


    The furrow of his brows deepened when he heard all her questions.


    "Let me call her and ask." He walked over to the side to call La when he received a message from her.


    [Get me a pack of day pads, a pack of night pads, a pack of tampons, and a pack of panty liners. Get the SU brand, and if you can''t find that, just pick a random brand! If you don''t know where to look, get help from the staff.]


    La had given him explicit instructions, and Eric read through the message a few times before searching for the products she requested for.


    Meanwhile, Robert gave La a call since she had yet to reply to any of the messages in the family chat group for the past twenty minutes.


    He apologized as soon as La answered the call and said, "Mom and Ivy both told me to call you and apologize. Sis, I was just messing around. Why did you get so worked up?"


    "Are you calling to apologize or to


    add fuel to the fire?" La said weakly as shey in bed. "Forget it. Just leave me alone. I''m on my period, and I don''t have time to argue with you."
