In a daze, she felt that Su Yan seemed to have come in again and said something in her ear. She tried hard to listen, but due to the effects of the medicine, she could only fall into slumber.
Perhaps it was the gentle treatment she received before falling asleep that allowed her to have a sweet dream for the first time in many years, instead of the usual nightmares induced by her aching pain.
When she woke up the next day, her pain had considerably lessened.
After freshening up, she was surprised by the smell of porridge. Was she hallucinating due to the painkillers?
She didn't imagine that Su Yan was the one cooking in the kitchen.
Because she knew, Young Master Su didn't even know how to light a gas stove.
"Madam, you're awake. This is red bean soup, please eat it while it's hot." Mama Chen, the cook from the Su Family Old Mansion.
Why was she here?
"The young master specifically ordered me to come over and make breakfast for you, Madam. He also mentioned that you were having menstrual pain and told me to cook some healthy food for you these few days. Young Master Sun really cares about you!" Mama Chen spoke highly of her young master as if he were a model man for the new century.
Bai Xue took a sip of the red bean soup, and it was indeed sweet.
Her mood was lifted.
"Madam, I know an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor who specializes in treating menstrual pain. When will you have time to go see him?"
She was eating while Mama Chen looked after her. Only after she finished eating did Mama Chen speak.
"Thank you, Mama Chen, but I'm afraid I don't have time lately." Bai Xue had previously taken traditional Chinese medicine for her menstrual pain, but despite consuming a lot, it did nothing for her. She was disgusted by the dark, ugly Traditional Chinese Medicine potions, so she chose to take painkillers for each bout of pain rather than try to improve her condition further.
"Menstrual pain may be common, but it can be a small or a sizable issue for a woman. If not handled well, it could result in problems with conceiving a baby!" Mama Chen wasn't trying to scare her; most women's menstrual pain is caused by cold in the womb, and if not treated properly, it could affect fertility.
Pregnant?
Bai Xue had never thought about this before. She didn't know when her relationship with Su Yan would start to improve, and it was not advisable to have a child during this time.
She wanted her child to grow up in a healthy, loving family environment.
If she couldn't provide the best for him, it would be better not to bring him into the world.
"We're in no rush to have a child." Bai Xue said casually.
"Madam, even if you aren't in a hurry, the young master is!" Mama Chen chimed in, caring for Su Yan beyond their master-servant relationship, considering she had watched him grow up and had been serving him for a lifetime.
"He's even less in a hurry." He remembered to use protection every time they were intimate, which showed just how little he wanted her child.
"If the young master was not in a hurry, he would not have asked me to take you to see the old Chinese medicine doctor!" In her haste, Mama Chen spilled the secret Su Yan had asked her to keep.
"Did Su Yan ask you to take me to see a doctor?" Bai Xue was somewhat surprised.
Mama Chen regretted her slip-up, "Madam, please don't tell Young Master Sun that I let the cat out of the bag!"
"He asked you to keep it a secret?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
This question put Mama Chen in a tough spot, "Well, I suppose the young master felt embarrassed!"
Being considerate of a woman in this regard.
Bai Xue thought her explanation made sense; he was embarrassed to care for her!
This helped to lift her spirits even more.
Today was another rare day with clear skies, and she felt that it was a good day.
Her radiant spirit and cheerful smile left Xu Qiming and Xiao Ai baffled. Being the people closest to her, they knew about the few unpleasant days she went through every month.
