There was no time to hesitate too much, so Hudson immediately carried Winnie into the hospital.
“What’s wrong with her?” The doctor was inquiring about her condition.
“Uh, I don’t know…” Hudson placed Winnie on the bed pushed over by the nurse, and immediately admitted her for emergency treatment, but the thoughts in his head couldn’t stop for a moment.
Thinking about that baby they had, it would have been about the same age as Iris now if it wasn’t an ectopic pregnancy. It would’ve been a cute baby, and it would have been beautiful too. A baby that would look either like her or like him…
No one knew how he felt when he found out that it was an ectopic pregnancy. That was the most long-lasting pain in his heart, and it hurt by just thinking about it.
And please don’t let anything happen to Winnie. He really didn’t want anything to happen to her at all. He was afraid and was feeling inexplicable fear inside, afraid that something would happen to her.
“Are you her husband? Come in for a moment.” Very much out of Hudson’s expectation, the door of the emergency room opened in not much time.
“Yes! How’s my wife?” Hudson didn’t hesitate and followed the doctor inside immediately.
“Your wife fainted because of intense menstrual cramps caused by endocrine dyscrasia. She has been given a menstrual pain-relieving medication now. You two are just so young, don’t just keep thinking about making money. It should be the time when the body is more sexually active, so don’t be too cold to your wife. Normal conjugal life is the best medicine to adjust endocrine dyscrasia, how can she be imbalanced so seriously?” said the doctor while glancing at Hudson, with a sharp gaze and a hidden meaning to say, “A man can’t be busy all day with work and neglect his wife!”
Hudson was dumbfounded. Oh, so it was menstrual pain! Yet the doctor was looking at him like he was a bad man who had been cheating on his wife all day and neglected her.
Even with his handsome face that was always expressionless, now he couldn’t help but be embarrassed till his face was red.
“We’ll get some pain relief injections first, go back immediately to get her clothes, and let her change into it later. Oh, and yes, also buy her sanitary pads, the extra-long type, and better to buy some night-use ones. Your wife’s lost too much blood, remember to help her replenish when you go back. She has symptoms of anemia and it’s estimated that it has something to do with too much menstruation flow…”
The doctor was quite old so his speaking was more direct, and he couldn’t stand to see the philandering men nowadays, so he was not at all polite when speaking with Hudson, “Go on, it will be very uncomfortable without sanitary pads!”
“Uh, okay!” Hudson nodded in panic and subconsciously looked inside, “She, is she okay?”
“Not a big deal!”
Winnie was pushed out and given an IV drip. She had already woken up and was so embarrassed that she covered her face with the blanket. She had heard it all from inside with what the doctor had just said to Hudson.
Hudson’s face was hot red, and said to Winnie, “I’m not leaving, don’t be afraid!”
He said while he held her small hands.
It was not until the nurses and doctor had left and Winnie was sent to the ward, that Hudson called Esther, “Please help me with something, Esther.”
“Nooo!” Winnie shouted suddenly.
She didn’t want Esther to know, how could she let so many people know about such an embarrassing matter?
Hudson understood immediately. He glanced at Winnie and immediately said, “Forget it, I should do it myself.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone without even waiting for Esther to speak.
“I’ll go get it for you, I’ll be back in half an hour. Ring the bell to call the nurse when the drip is finished.” Hudson said worriedly.
“Okay.” Winnie didn’t refuse, since he had seen it anyways.
However, what she didn’t know was that Hudson’s white shirt was also stained with her blood, but he could only roll up his sleeves and walked out in a hurry.
Fortunately, there was a supermarket outside the hospital and Hudson walked in.
Straight to the sanitary pads area, looking at so many brands, he chose the most expensive one directly. But with the night use ones, what did night use even mean? Hudson was even more embarrassed, but there was no other choice. He hurriedly grabbed the shop attendant and asked, “Miss, what are the night use ones?”
The shop attendant took a look and saw that it was a handsome man, and being so urgent, she didn’t feel embarrassed at all, “Sir, is it for your wife?”
“Yes.” Hudson nodded, his expression was a little unnatural.
“This is for night use.” The shop attendant lady said, “This one has 28cm, and this kind is better.”
“Then, it has no problem with the larger flow, right?” Hudson asked out the most embarrassing question ever in his life.
“Uh, it’s fine. These have all been specially manufactured, so it has no problem at all, and it won’t leak out.”
Speaking so bluntly, Hudson’s handsome face reddened again, “Oh, thanks!”
Thus, he took a dozen packets in one go. He was afraid that with that large of a flow, it wouldn’t be enough.
Hudson went to the underwear area immediately after that. He then picked up a few of the most expensive dark-colored panties and called Lance to go to the mall to buy a set of dark-colored casual clothes, with special instructions that the pants had to be dark-colored. With the top, it only needed to be a small size. Winnie was thinner now, so much thinner than she had been four years ago.
When Hudson came back with the stuff, the IV drip was just finished halfway. He looked at his watch and the time had only passed by twenty minutes. Feeling relieved, he put the bag on the bedside table.
Winnie’s face turned to the window, not saying anything because she didn’t know what to say. It was too humiliating.
“Does it still hurt?” Hudson opened his mouth after a long time, his voice seemed a little hoarse. Even with such a short sentence, it still became husky.
Winnie didn’t make a sound, just staring at the hanging IV drip bottle above with her eyes wide opened. There was still quite a lot of the IV drip left, and she just wanted it to finish quickly and go back. In hopes of never see Hudson again, because it was just too embarrassing.
“Is it always like this?” He spoke again.
“You… shut up!” Winnie pulled the blanket up to her face and covered herself, not wanting Hudson to see her blush.
Hudson was stunned all of a sudden. He thought of the doctor’s words, saying that they needed to have a sex life. Uh, then, did that mean she didn’t… He didn’t dare to think further, his heart was beginning to leap in joy. As if something broke through his heart, his whole heart was boiling up altogether.
Imbalanced?!
Did it mean that she was innocent with that foreign man from the very start?
He wanted to ask something but still couldn’t ask it out.
At the moment when he was most torn up, Lance came to deliver the clothes.
“Want to change your clothes?” Hudson opened his mouth with a hint of rejoicing in his heart.
“No!”
“It’ll be uncomfortable.”
“No need for you to care!” The voice under the blanket was muffled.
“I won’t laugh at you!” Hudson said again, this time with a hint of laughter in his voice.
The clothes delivered were a pair of black casual long pants and a long gray sweater.
Seeing that Winnie still didn’t show her head, Hudson was worried that she was going to suffocate and immediately helped her to pull down the blanket. Only to find that her face was red like blood.
“Change into these!”
“No!” Winnie turned her face away.
She couldn’t change at all with the IV drip still on.
“I’ll help you,” he said.
“No need!”
“Then I’ll help you when the drip is finished.” Hudson compromised.
In not much time, the IV drip was finished, and Hudson immediately called the nurse to remove the IV. He then also asked the nurse about what to pay attention to at home.
The nurse said she should eat warm food only, and no cold food, etc…
The nurse left, but Winnie still wasn’t moving.
“Change your clothes,” Hudson said again.
“You get out!” Winnie didn’t want him to see how embarrassed she was.
“I’ll help you!” Hudson still insisted.
“No need!”
“I just want to help you!”
Winnie simply just shut up.
When Hudson saw her not moving, he ran to close the door and came back, lifted the blanket, and was about to undress her.
“Ah- what are you doing?” Winnie screamed.
“What can I do when you’re already like this?” Hudson said it so ambiguously.
Winnie’s face turned red, “I don’t want you to see, go away!”
“Then you get change quickly, I promise not to look!” Hence someone turned around but insisted on not going away.
Winnie had never seen such a Hudson before and it was a little hard to accept at that moment, but she was afraid that he would really use force, so she took the clothes that he bought and covered herself under the blanket to change. Not to mention how awkward it was.
After changing clothes, Hudson took Winnie’s hand and brought her back to his car, regardless of whether she was willing or not.
“I want to go back,” said Winnie, her body wasn’t feeling well and she just wanted to go back to sleep and rest.
Yet Hudson didn’t say anything. He got into the car and drove straight back to the villa. The villa where they got married last time.
“Where are you taking me?” Winnie leaned back on the wide, fluffy seat and spoke lazily.
“Home.” Hudson
What a strange word, home? Winnie sighed.
The car soon arrived. Hudson ignored Winnie’s struggle and directly carried her out of the car, straight into the second-floor bedroom, and placed her on the bed, “You get some sleep first, I’ll go cook some hot soup for you.”
Hudson looked at Winnie, his eyes were dark, and his eyelashes were long. He gave her a rare smile and it somehow looked childish and secretly rejoicing, that no one could be angry with him anymore. Winnie quickly forgave him in her heart and said to him in a soft voice, “Thank you, but I still want to go back.”
“No, I’ll take care of you!” He said seriously.
In just today, two men had said that they wanted to take care of her. Winnie laughed at herself. It was like her love was the flowering season, when one blossomed, the others followed. When none was blossoming, there wasn’t a single flower that bloomed.
But surprisingly, Winnie didn’t refuse, only that her heart was feeling sour, “I want to sleep.”
“Okay, go ahead and sleep.” Hudson covered her with a blanket, his face smiling.
Winnie looked at his rarely blossomed happiness and sighed quietly, why did he still make her heart pain even now.
Hudson went to cook the soup, whereas Winnie felt that she was getting weak and then fell asleep after.
After waking up from her sleep, Winnie realized that it was raining outside. She got up and found a pair of cotton slippers placed by the bed and it was pink, which used to be her favorite color. Although it was spring, whenever she had her period, she needed to be extra warm. After putting on extra clothes, she went to the window to watch the rain. Being able to stand here and watch the rain was something that she never dreamt of, but she knew that this was the last time.
When Hudson opened the door, what he saw was this scene of a beautiful girl leaning against the window, staring at the rain and gray sky. Reflection of her side face was extraordinarily clear, and it seemed that even her eyelashes could be counted clearly.
Hudson couldn’t bear to break the silence, so he leaned on the door frame and watched her silently.
Raindrops were dripping from the window eaves, falling onto the edge of the balcony, and broke into eight, every one of them was crystal clear. Winnie smiled at the rain while Hudson was looking at her obsessively. When she inadvertently turned around and raised her eyes, she bumped into his gaze.
Winnie asked somewhat unnaturally, “Have I been sleeping for a long time?”
“Not long, just for three hours. Are you hungry?” Hudson walked over and stood opposite her, the two didn’t dare to look at each other, then tacitly went on to watch the rain together.
Only that just by standing close, Winnie gradually had a sad feeling. He and she, too, could only end up with a sad ending.
