“What’s wrong, Seren p>
Zachary noticed her distress and quickly approached her. He sat on the edge of the bed, reached out to pull her closer, and asked with concern, “Are you feeling unwell p>
“My stomach hurts p>
“Your stomach? Are you bloated because you ate too much at dinner p>
Serenity shot him a glare.
“No? Then why does your stomach hurt p>
Serenity turned away, presenting her back to him. “You wouldn’t understand. I’ll be fine if I lie down and tough it out for a bit p>
Zachary frowned.
He stood, then bent to pick her up from the bed again. His handsome face was serious as he said, “I don’t know much about medicine, but a doctor does. I’m taking you to the hospital. Don’t try to endure it; it might be too late for regrets if you hold on and it turns out to be something serious p>
“There’s no need for the hospital. It just hurts because I’m having period cramps p>
Zachary paused, then said, “Your… period… O–Oh, I understand now p>
He quickly set Serenity back on the bed. “What causes the pain p>
He had no idea that menstruation could bring discomfort for women. There were no young girls in his family, and his interactions with women were limited to those from his father’s generation.
Therefore, he genuinely knew little about such matters.
When Serenity experienced her period, he would make her hot cocoa, having seen his father prepare it for his mother in the past. That was how he knew that girls could enjoy hot cocoa during their menses.
“Maybe it’s hurting because I was out all day, and the cold weather isn’t helping. Please brew me a cup of hot cocoa p>
“Okay, hang in there. I’ll prepare it for you right now p>
He even called his mother while he was in the kitchen.
“Zack, your mom is asleep. Call again tomorrow,” his father replied.
“Dad, can you wake Mom up? I have something to ask her p>
“What’s so important that you need to ask her now? I told you, your mother is sleeping, so don’t wake her. Tell me what the issue is. Maybe I can help p>
In Liam’s view, his son’s concerns were not as important as allowing his wife to rest.
“Dad, do you know of any medicine that can relieve menstrual cramps p>
After a pause, Liam asked, “Are they for you p>
Zachary was taken aback. “What are you talking about? My wife needs them p>
“You scared me to death! I thought you had undergone sex reassignment surgery and become a woman. Although your mom and I wanted a daughter, we’ve long accepted that we only have a son. Now, we’re looking forward to having a granddaughter. Don’t even think about getting a sex reassignment surgery p>
Zachary was astonished by his father’s ability to come up with such an absurd thought at this hour.
“Go get a warm compress for her to place on her abdomen. You can also prepare drinks like hot cocoa or chamomile tea. Actually, just have a child soon, and it’ll be fine.
“Your mom was like that in the past too, but she improved significantly after giving birth to you. Her cramps would only hurt badly when she was tired p>
“Okay, I understand p>
Zachary quickly hung up the phone, worried that his father might say something shocking again.
He prepared hot cocoa for Serenity and brought it into the room. “I’m going out to buy some medicine for you p>
He swiftly grabbed the car keys and left.
Serenity turned around to call out to him but only saw his back.
as he shut the door. He was dressed in a nightshirt and slippers. Zachary, who usually cared deeply about his appearance, momentarily forgot he was in his sleepwear and rushed out to get medicine. Serenity felt warmed by his gesture. It seemed that even an iceberg could melt into a compassionate man.
