"How old is she?"
I said, "Fourteen, year 2 in high school…"
"Where does it hurt?"
"My stomach hurts…"
I cried, "Doctor, am I dying? I've lost so much blood…"
The doctor frowned and asked Dongyu to place me on the examination bed. After ushering Dongyu out, he sat down and said meaningfully, "Young lady, did your mother not tell you about menarche?"
The doctor's facial muscles twitched again as he spoke calmly.
As it turned out, this was not a terminal illness. It was a process that all girls would experience when they reached puberty. It was commonly known as "the period".
The process would take place every month, and it was a necessary process for a girl to evolve into a woman.
When the doctor finished explaining, he smiled and looked highly amused. "Terminal illness? Young lady, have you been watching too many television dramas?"
I was so embarrassed that my face turned red and I was at a loss.
