“What’s wrong, Seren?”
Zachary noticed something was wrong with her and quickly walked over. He sat down on the edge of the bed, reached out to tug her body, and asked with concern, “Are you feeling unwell?”
“My stomach hurts.”
“Your stomach? Are you bloated because you ate too much during supper?”
Serenity glared at him.
“No? Then why does your stomach hurt?”
Serenity rolled over and turned her back to him. “You won’t understand. I’ll be fine if I lie down and bear with it for a while.”
Zachary frowned.
He stood up then bent down to pick her up from the bed again. His handsome face said seriously, “I don’t know medicine, but a doctor does. I’ll send you to the hospital. Don’t try to endure it. It’ll be too late for regrets if you bear with it and it turns out to be a big problem.”
“There’s no need to go to the hospital. I just... It hurts because I’m having period cramps.”
Zachary paused before saying, “Your... period... O-Oh. I get it now.”
He quickly placed Serenity back on the bed. “Why does it hurt?”
He had no clue that period would bring pain to women when Aunt Flo visited.. There were no young girls in his family, and he had no contact with women except those from his father’s generation.
Thus, he genuinely had no idea about such things.
When Serenity had her period, he would make hot cocoa for her because he had seen his father prepared it for his mother before. That was why he knew that girls could drink hot cocoa during their menses.
“Maybe it’s hurting because I was out and about during the day, and because of the cold weather. Please brew me a cup of hot cocoa.”
“Okay, hang in there. I’ll go prepare it for you now.”
Zachary quickly rushed to make the hot drink and even called his mother while he was in the kitchen.
“Zack, your mom is asleep. Call again tomorrow.”
