    Connor fetched a towel from the bathroom, soaking it in warm water before wringing it out.


    Returning to the bedroom, he sat on the edge of the bed, gazing down at Cam’s peaceful


    sleeping face as he gently wiped the sweat from her forehead.


    “Does it hurt?” he asked, his voice low and soft.


    Cam, half–awake, nodded slightly. “Mmm.”


    “Does it always hurt like this?”


    She shook her head, her voice as faint as a mosquito’s, “Maybe I ate too much ice cream


    yesterday.”


    “I shouldn’t have let you have two servings yesterday,” Connor frowned slightly, his eyes filled with


    regret and his voice soft and self–reproaching. He continued to tenderly wipe the sweat from her


    forehead, his movements so gentle as if afraid of hurting her


    further.


    “Mr. Connor, I need to take a day off today,” Cam said, looking up at him.


    Connor nodded, “You get some more rest.”


    As Cam closed her eyes, she felt the man beside her leave, likely heading back to work. She


    turned over and hugged a stuffed bear,

    falling asleep.


    Connor went to a nearby pharmacy.


    “Hello, I was wondering… for menstrual pain… she’s already taken painkillers. Is there anything


    else that can alleviate the pain?”


    “Yes,” the clerk led him to the counter, “This heating waist belt can provide good relief from


    menstrual difort.”


    “Alright, I’ll take this one.” Connor approached the counter to pay. This whole thing was out of his


    depth, so he asked, “How do you use this?”


    The clerk exined, “Tear open the package, ce the white heating side smoothly against the skin


    on the abdomen, and then secure it


    with the stic band.”


    Connor paid close attention. Upon returning to Cedarhill Estate, he confidently made his way to


    Cam’s bedroom. He found her sleeping on her side, clutching the stuffed bear.


    “Cam Connor began softly.


    Cam mumbled, her brow furrowing slightly as she hugged the bear tighter.


    Connor had no choice but to give up on the idea of letting her do it herself. He opened the package


    of the heating belt, gently lifted the


    nket, and after a moment’s hesitation, lifted her nightgown.


    Her waistline was beautiful, with faint hints of toned muscles. Connor paused for a few seconds,


    mesmerized.


    He ced the heating belt on her abdomen, but with her lying on her side, it was difficult to position


    correctly. After several attempts, he


    gently took the toy from her arms and adjusted her to lie on her back.


    He carefully positioned the belt on her abdomen and softly lifted her waist to secure the stic


    band.


    He exhaled softly, feeling the heat, then pulling down her nightgown, he gently pulled the nket


    up.


    Before he could cover herpletely, Cam suddenly turned over, grabbing Connor’s hand.


    Connor leaned forward, and his hand inadvertentlynded on Cam’s chest. His eyes widened and


    his fingers stifferted, too shocked


    to move.


    Cam frowned slightly, her voice tinier than a mosquito’s, “Be, why are you so hard?”


    Connor swallowed hard, feeling unbearably hot. He looked at the toy he had just taken from her,


    named Be. Carefully, he reached with his free hand to retrieve ‘Be‘. Slowly, v


    very slowly, he withdrew his hand from her embrace and reced it with Be‘.


    After quickly pulling the nket up, he almost ran out of the bedroom.


    Connor stood at the doorway, his mouth dry and his whole body incredibly overheated. He


    immediately went to the kitchen, pulled out two bottles of chilled mineral water from the fridge, and


    drank them down quickly.


    Soon, the table was empty of the two bottles of water, and Connor belched
