Chapter 231

Natalie was in a bit of a bind. There were no wise, older women to guide her through the intricacies of postpartum recovery, known colloquially as “lying in,” something not practiced or acknowledged in her neck of the woods. And it was certainly not a topic she could broach with King. Nor had she ever sought medical treatment for it. After all, the concept of lying–in was pretty foreign in the West.

After some thought, Natalie nodded and responded, “Yeah, I took up kickboxing and stuff after.” Sanford shook his head disapprovingly. “That was reckless! Lucky for you. You’re still young. If you had come to me in your thirties, there might have been nothing I could do.”

Brian fell silent, his gaze fixed on Natalie, contemplation etched on his face.

“Herbal remedies and acupuncture are what you need. If you take herbs, you can’t skip doses. You could have the pharmacy prepare an herbal paste for daily consumption. As for acupuncture, once a week. Can you manage that?” Sanford continued.

Natalie nodded. “Sure, I can do that.”

“And one more thing…” Sanford started, glancing at Natalie’s neck before awkwardly shifting his gaze to Brian.

“You should abstain from intimacy for now. Wait until after a treatment cycle when the symptoms have eased. Otherwise, the damage to this lady’s body could be irreversible.”

Brian remained silent.
