The situation that day was actually quite awkward, but in the end, Qin Ting gave her a way out.
Qin Ting: I'll keep the ring for now. Once I've made up my mind, I'll wear it.
Lin Jiayi stared at the ring for a long while before reaching out to pick it up. But in the end, she gave up and closed the box before placing it back into the drawer.
She had a business meeting tonight, so she took a look at the time. It was about time for her to set off, so she had her assistant prepare the car.
Perhaps it was due to the sudden cold weather, or perhaps it was due to the absence of his care, but her abdomen would ache from time to time during the business meeting. Even though she was in a warm room, she still felt that her hands and feet were freezing cold.
Since it was a business meeting, there were bound to be people toasting her. When he was still around, she couldn't remember having so many people toasting her, but now, she realized that she seemed to have an endless supply of alcohol.
Finally, after the dinner was over, she came out of the restaurant and couldn't wait to ask her assistant to send her home.
She went upstairs, entered her fingerprint, and pushed open the door, only to see a floor of shoes, bags, and clothes strewn all over the floor.
It was usually fine, but before her period came, she found such a messy scene inexplicably annoying. She called the auntie, hoping to have her face cleaned up as well, but for some reason, the auntie didn't pick up her phone. She tried to clean up by herself, but the more she tried, the messier it became. In the end, she ended up leaving even more bags and clothes on the floor.
Out of sight, out of mind, she removed her makeup and went to take a bath.
When she came out of the bathroom, she was wrapped in a bathrobe. While she was looking for her pajamas, she accidentally stepped on a puddle of water and slipped. It was fortunate that she managed to grab onto the cabinet beside her in time, so she didn't fall to the floor. Even so, she still bumped her knee, and a large amount of blood seeped out.
The wound wasn't serious, but she felt an inexplicable discomfort. She had no idea what had gotten into her today, but when she squatted down to look at the wound on her knee, her abdomen started hurting again. This time, the pain was different from the ones she had experienced in the afternoon. It was unbearable, as if a knife was being twisted around her abdomen, causing her entire body to tremble.
She clutched her lower abdomen, enduring the pain. However, the pain did not seem to have any signs of slowing down. Instead, it became more and more intense. In the end, the pain caused her face to turn pale and sweat to appear on her forehead.
She knew that when it came to menstrual cramps, even if she went to the hospital, the doctor wouldn't be able to do anything. However, the pain was unbearable. She forced herself to reach out and grab her phone. She wanted to call someone to take her to the hospital for a painkiller. There were hundreds of phone numbers in her contact list. She flipped through them again and again, but for some reason, she stopped at the last number.
That was Xia Shangzhou's number. She had purposely left it at the end …
She stared at the phone number for a while and wanted to call the old mansion and ask Auntie Sun to call the family doctor for her.
That was what she really thought, but perhaps the pain in her lower abdomen was too intense, and her hands trembled. Or perhaps her movements weren't controlled by her brain, but the number she dialed wasn't to the old mansion, but to Xia Shangzhou...
At first, she didn't react until the call was picked up and Xia Shangzhou's voice came through. "Chief Lin?"
Lin Jiayi suddenly froze, forgetting about the pain in her abdomen.
"Chief Lin?" Xia Shangzhou, who was waiting for her voice, called out again.
