Chapter 1278

Ou Ming saw how Yu Lili was behaving and automatically looked to the area she was holding . He gently asked, “What’s wrong? Your period’s here?”

Yu Lili nodded her head . Her little face that previously looked normal suddenly became pale .

Ou Ming pulled out a chair for her and asked, “Do you need to brew some brown sugar soup? Where did you leave it?”

“I don’t . Just help me get the medicine on the coffee table . ” Yu Lili was bent over in pain, holding on to her abdomen .

Ou Ming went to retrieve it . He quickly passed the medicine she had asked for to her . The medicine wasn’t what he had imagined would be used to treat cramps . It was instead a common box of Ibuprofen .

“These are painkillers, aren’t they? Are you sure they’re good for the body?” Ou Ming’s brows furrowed together . “It isn’t even good to take this on a normal day . Are you sure it’s OK for you to take it when you’re having your period?”

The pain was more than Yu Lili could bear . She reached out for the medication and said, “This kills the pain fast . Give it to me . ”

In other words, she had tacitly agreed that the medication did come with its share of side effects .

Ou Ming tossed the box of Ibuprofen to the side and pulled her up . “Can you walk?”

Given the state she was in, walking wasn’t exactly possible . He bent his back forward and patted his own shoulder, “Come up on me . I’ll take you to the hospital . ”

His hand was not yet recovered and still in its cast . Otherwise, he would have already picked her up without a second word and headed straight for the hospital .

Yu Lili seemed a little hesitant and protested, “I’ll be fine after taking the medication and lying down for a while . I still need to go to work . I already took a day off yesterday . ”

“I already arranged marital leave for you!” Ou Ming clenched his jaw angrily . “You can return to work when we’re back from our honeymoon . Or, you can forget about going back to work altogether . I have enough money to take care of you!”

She is already in such a state, yet she is still concerned about work?

Yu Lili could tell from his expression that he wasn’t happy at all . She said, “It’s fine…”

“Come up!” It was clear from Ou Ming’s voice that there was no space for discussion . As he spoke, he looked over his shoulder, “Otherwise, I’ll remove my cast and carry you . ”

Yu Lili’s lips tightened into a thin line when she heard that . She replied, “I can walk on my own . I don’t want to risk crushing you hand . Otherwise, your mom will have my head . ”

The originally fierce and angry Ou Ming didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry when he heard that . He turned around and held her hand as he carefully helped her up . “Let’s go . ”

Yu Lili resisted the pain and stood up . Even that simple action made her complexion paler .

Ou Ming felt his heart ache . “Aren’t you a woman? Isn’t it normal for a woman to have a period every month? Why does yours hurt so badly? How did I never notice this problem of yours before?”

His tone sounded as if he were angry, but she could clearly tell the concern in his demeanor .

Yu Lili pursed her lips when she heard that . She suddenly shrank back again and asked, “Can we not go to the hospital? I can’t move . ”

She couldn’t risk having a doctor tell Ou Ming that this was actually a lingering effect of her abortion . She knew how much that information would break his heart .

She had already endured it for so many years . The pain this time was nothing compared to her worst episodes . Even without the medication, she could grit her teeth and bear with the pain .

Ou Ming’s heart was suddenly seized by terror when he looked at how pale her face was . He demanded, “I’ll carry you on my back!”

Yu Lili objected vehemently . She pushed him away as she asserted, “I’m not going!”

“Is it very painful?” Ou Ming finally stopped insisting . He reached his hand out and held her waist gently . “Come,” he said, “let me help you to the couch . ”

“OK…” Yu Lili agreed .

Ou Ming laid Yu Lili horizontally on the couch and quickly ran upstairs . He picked up his cell phone to give one of his friends, who was a doctor, a call .
