[Ellie's P.O.V.]
After eating with Edith, she asked me to sit at the dining table and wait. A few moments passed before she came out of her room with an unopened bottle of medicine and placed it in front of me. The medicine was labeled 'strong painkiller'.
I picked it up and examined it carefully. I asked doubtfully, "What is this?"
Edith looked at the bottle in silence. After a while, she said, "Didn't you tell me that you were in pain because your mate was with another woman? I think this can help you."
"You're using this too?" asked I seriously as I looked at Edith.
"Of course." Edith was much calmer than I expected. "He won't come here more than a few times a month so who knows what he is doing the rest of the time."
Edith didn't seem to object to her mate's disloyalty to her. She didn't care about it at all.
