Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 398

After speaking, the doctor left some medication and departed.

Steven's expression had turned cold as he looked at Scarlett.

"Is this how you take care of yourself?" He was irritated that she'd been ignoring her symptoms all day.

"My cycle is usually irregular. I didn't expect it today, I thought it would be a few days later..." Scarlett said defensively.

"So you knew it might come around this time and didn't bring any pain medication with you?" Steven felt his frustration rising at her carelessness.

"I didn't..." Scarlett was pale, brows furrowed with cramps.

But he wouldn't let it go, making her increasingly annoyed. "It's not my fault!"

That comment just triggered Steven further. "You're not taking care of yourself, and you still think you're right!"

Seeing the pain she was trying to hide made his heart ache.

"I don't need your help!" Scarlett blurted out, then immediately regretted her words. She'd spoken out of irritation.

Seeing Steven's darkened expression, she instantly felt remorse.

Without a word, Steven turned and left.

Scarlett felt terrible. Why had she said that?

It was too late to take it back now. And why were the cramps so much worse than usual?

And now he'd left too. The thought made Scarlett feel even more miserable.

But while she was wallowing, Steven hadn't actually left.

He stood outside her door, remembering that heating pads were good for cramps. He decided to drive to the pharmacy.

"Scarlett, I got you some heating pads and tampons.” He laid out the items in front of her. "See which ones work best for you."

Scarlett looked at the array of things spread out before her, feeling embarrassed. "Maybe this one?"

She pointed randomly at one of the packages. Like Steven, she couldn't really tell the difference between them all.

Steven took the medication to the kitchen to get some water. Scarlett limped over to lean against the doorframe, watching him.

He was a chef, but he'd never dealt with this kind of situation before. He carefully read the dosage instructions while filling a glass of water.

Standing in the doorway, watching him being so careful, she felt... strange.

Why had she been so upset earlier? Why had she felt regret?

After all, none of this was really Steven's responsibility.
