145Connor fetched a towel from the bathroom, soaking it in warm water before wringing it out.
Returning to the bedroom, he sat on the edge of the bed, gazing down at Camila’s peaceful
sleeping face as he gently wiped the sweat from her forehead.
“Does it hurt?” he asked, his voice low and soft.
Camila, half–awake, nodded slightly. “Mmm.”
“Does it always hurt like this?”
She shook her head, her voice as faint as a mosquito’s, “Maybe I ate too much ice cream
yesterday.”
“I shouldn’t have let you have two servings yesterday,” Connor frowned slightly, his eyes filled with
regret and his voice soft and self–reproaching. He continued to tenderly wipe the sweat from her
forehead, his movements so gentle as if afraid of hurting her
further.
“Mr. Connor, I need to take a day off today,” Camila said, looking up at him.
Connor nodded, “You get some more rest.”
As Camila closed her eyes, she felt the man beside her leave, likely heading back to work. She
turned over and hugged a stuffed bear,
falling asleep.Connor went to a nearby pharmacy.
“Hello, I was wondering… for menstrual pain… she’s already taken painkillers. Is there anything
else that can alleviate the pain?”
“Yes,” the clerk led him to the counter, “This heating waist belt can provide good relief from
menstrual discomfort.”
“Alright, I’ll take this one.” Connor approached the counter to pay. This whole thing was out of his
depth, so he asked, “How do you use this?”
The clerk explained, “Tear open the package, place the white heating side smoothly against the skin
on the abdomen, and then secure it
with the elastic band.”
Connor paid close attention. Upon returning to Cedarhill Estate, he confidently made his way to
Camila’s bedroom. He found her sleeping on her side, clutching the stuffed bear.
“Camila Connor began softly.
Camila mumbled, her brow furrowing slightly as she hugged the bear tighter.
noveldramaConnor had no choice but to give up on the idea of letting her do it herself. He opened the package
of the heating belt, gently lifted the
blanket, and after a moment’s hesitation, lifted her nightgown.
Her waistline was beautiful, with faint hints of toned muscles. Connor paused for a few seconds,
mesmerized.He placed the heating belt on her abdomen, but with her lying on her side, it was difficult to position
correctly. After several attempts, he
gently took the toy from her arms and adjusted her to lie on her back.
He carefully positioned the belt on her abdomen and softly lifted her waist to secure the elastic
band.
He exhaled softly, feeling the heat, then pulling down her nightgown, he gently pulled the blanket
up.
Before he could cover her completely, Camila suddenly turned over, grabbing Connor’s hand.
Connor leaned forward, and his hand inadvertently landed on Camila’s chest. His eyes widened and
his fingers stifferted, too shocked
to move.
Camila frowned slightly, her voice tinier than a mosquito’s, “Bella, why are you so hard?”
Connor swallowed hard, feeling unbearably hot. He looked at the toy he had just taken from her,
named Bella. Carefully, he reached with his free hand to retrieve ‘Bella‘. Slowly, v
very slowly, he withdrew his hand from her embrace and replaced it with Bella‘.
After quickly pulling the blanket up, he almost ran out of the bedroom.
Connor stood at the doorway, his mouth dry and his whole body incredibly overheated. He
immediately went to the kitchen, pulled out two bottles of chilled mineral water from the fridge, and
drank them down quickly.
Soon, the table was empty of the two bottles of water, and Connor belched
