Callum’s heart skipped at the sight of Elspeth’s stare. As he was about to continue, she frowned, clasped her hands over her stomach, and perspired heavily on her forehead.

“What is it? Are you sick?” His anger subsided, and concern filled his features as he stared at her curled-up body.

Meanwhile, she could not have foreseen that her period would start so suddenly after being late for so many days.

Was that meant to be a blessing, or did it ruin the mood?

“I’m fine. It’s one of those days—” Despite her agonizing cramps, Elspeth still responded to Callum.

“I see. Rest up. I’ll make you ginger tea.”

Ginger tea? Do I really hear that, or is it a trick in my mind? “You know about ginger tea? Are you for real?”

He smiled and replied proudly, “I know more than you think I do.”

“Amazing.”

“Alright. Stay there and wait for me. Rest well.” Then, Callum gently positioned Elspeth on the bed, tucked her in, and walked out of the room.

Afterward, she went to the bathroom to clean herself up and sat on the bed while waiting for him to return.

About half an hour later, the door silently swung open, and he walked in with a hot cup of ginger tea. She could even see some grated ginger floating in the tea.

“I never expected the cold and aloof Mr. Winthrop to be a good cook.” Following that, Elspeth took a sip of the tea. It’s nice and sweet, and as it goes down my throat, it makes my belly feel warm and fuzzy. I’m feeling a lot better now.
