Melanie thought she needed to wait for the doctor to arrange a time for her surgery. However, the doctor prescribed her some medicine instead.
She was puzzled as she held the prescription list." Didn't you say that medicine isn’t suitable? Why'd you still prescribe me medicine?"
"You have some inflammation, and this is the medicine for it. It needs to be treated before the surgery." After a brief pause, the doctor advised her," You must avoid s*x for some time. Your condition is bad. If this continues, it will affect your uterus."
The doctor kept reminding her of what she needed to be mindful of, but she stopped paying attention. She knew her body was not in good condition, but she had not expected it to be this bad. She felt ashamed when she recalled the doctor’s gaze. Fortunately, no one recognized her.
She went home and took medicine with some water. After she carefully kept the prescription in the innermost layer of her bag, she lay down to rest.
Fortunately, Nathaniel was busy recently and left her to herself. Therefore, she had the time to meet up with Frank.
'Frank...'
Melanie’s stomach started aching when she thought
of him. She felt uncomfortable and turned to her side. This must not continue any longer. She needed to think of a way to send Lily to Frank's bed. Only then could she be free. The question was how to do it so that no one would trace it back to her.
Melanie tossed and turned but could not fall asleep. After a while, she heard some movement from outside that sounded like someone opening the door. Nathaniel had just returned home.
Melanie was afraid that he would notice the strangeness in her and pretended to be asleep.
