Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 283: Wanting a Child

For many women, irregular menstrual cycles are common; Aurora had never paid it much mind.

Julian's eyes twinkled, "That's right, weakness manifests in these ways. Be good and drink it."

"Julian, will my periods become regular if I drink this?" Aurora blinked her eyes; although each period brought with it cold hands and feet, along with cramps, she was not one to fuss and had grown accustomed to it. Since Julian wanted to help her manage it this time, she couldn't waste his kindness.

"Hmm, those pills aren't that fast-acting; it might take a long time before they start working."

"This is so hard to drink. How long must I keep taking it?" Aurora frowned. Once or twice was bearable, but from what Julian implied, it seemed she needed to continue for much longer.

"How long depends on your body's condition. I obviously don't want you to drink something so unpleasant. But it's good for you, and once your body improves, you can stop."

Even Robert couldn't say for sure, so how could Julian be certain how long she would need to drink it?

"Alright then." Aurora gulped down the bitter concoction in one go; such bitterness had to be swallowed quickly, for if she stopped halfway, the pervasive bitterness would dissuade her from continuing.

Julian noticed her furrowed brow and felt a pang of pity for her body and the pain she had to endure at such a young age.

"I'm done," Aurora obediently showed Julian her empty cup.

Julian rubbed her head, "A reward for you, have a candy." He had prepared the candy that morning after seeing her distressed face while drinking.
