Chapter 307: Chapter 307: Was Too Upset at the Time

Su Lu returned to the ward, where Zhao Xiaole had been sleeping without waking.

Although the child wasn’t seriously ill, he had been frightened, and was quite exhausted in spirit.

So, he slept deeply. Su Lu tiptoed to the bed, touched the back of the child’s neck to check the temperature, and then pulled up the blanket a bit more.

She bent down to kiss the child’s forehead, before walking out to the small living room.

Qiao Li brought over a cup of hot honey and chrysanthemum tea, "Take a sip."

Su Lu frowned, "It’s hot."

Qiao Li smiled gently and coaxed, "Be good, drink some. Otherwise, you’ll have stomach pains in a couple of days."

Su Lu felt a bit embarrassed, as her period was due soon—though the timing wasn’t always exact, it never varied by too much.

Because of her menstrual pain... other women’s discomfort tended to ease after giving birth.

But not for Su Lu. Her pain seemed to have intensified instead of lessening, and she wondered if it was because giving birth to Zhao Xiaole had been so taxing on her vitality that it made things worse instead of better.

When Zhao Xiaole was a little over six months old, Su Lu had her first postpartum period, and it was so painful it caused convulsions and fainting.

It scared everyone, especially since she was already weak after childbirth.

They thought something serious had happened, and didn’t realize until the ambulance took her to the hospital, just how severe menstrual pain could be.

The incident left Su Zhe quite shaken as well, as he was on the scene when it happened. His unease was the reason he inadvertently mentioned it to Qiao Li. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have told a friend about his sister’s menstrual pain.

Anyway, after Qiao Li learned about it, he had been concerned ever since.

Although Su Lu hadn’t particularly taken notice, she was aware that Qiao Li sent her tonifying herbal medicines every few months.

Now, acknowledging Qiao Li’s kindness, she took the cup from him.

She held the warm cup in her hands, her fingers gently caressing its rim.

Perhaps it was because she had nodded to Qiao Li earlier, she now felt somewhat out of sorts.
