Chapter 049: It'll Feel Better After You Drink This

At this moment, Aurora could hardly pay attention to what Susan was saying. Staring at the large pile of sanitary pads on the bed, she guessed it was enough to last the year. Nearby lay clothes and other items he had bought; he was indeed attentive in these

aspects.

Aurora took a set of clothes to the bathroom to change. She noticed that Julian had chosen vibrant colors for her this time, none of them black. She changed into a soft pink dress, a color she hadn't worn in a long while.

When she came out, she found Julian had just carried something into the kitchen and hadn't yet come out. Could this young master actually cook? Curious, Aurora walked towards the kitchen and saw him awkwardly boiling water. "What are you doing?" she asked, noticing no food around, just him boiling water.

"You'll see in a bit, go watch some TV in the meantime," Julian said, gently pushing her out of the room.

Aurora didn't understand his intentions. The entertainment news segment was over, and Susan's face was no longer on the screen. Somewhat bored, she took out her phone to check the news and noticed a few private messages from Hayden, all asking where she was so he could come to find her.

Aurora smirked coldly, ignoring his messages. She checked the time; it was almost eleven, and she had an exam at school in the afternoon. She glanced at the busy figure in the kitchen, unsure if he would let her leave.

About five minutes later, Julian came out with a cup of water, excitement on his face. "Drink this, it'll stop the pain."

"What?" Aurora looked bewildered at Julian.

"Ibuprofen. They told me you needed this," he explained, his tone echoing the advice of some supermarket lady. "I also bought you a hot water bottle. Charge it and place it on your stomach. Oh, and you must avoid spicy food and cold water for the next few days."

In the past, it was always Asher who took care of these things. She found them too troublesome and preferred to endure the pain rather than going through such hassles.

Yet here was Julian, practically a stranger, having only met her a few times, and of such a status, why would he do these things?

"Why are you standing there? Drink it. Is it too hot? Let it cool a bit then," Julian said gently.
