The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 62

Inside the emergency room, the doctor on duty applied a bit of pressure on Corinne’s lower abdomen, asked her if she felt anything locally, and told the nurse to fetch another doctor to feel her pulse.

The elderly doctor frowned after being called over to check on Corinne. He turned to Jeremy, who was standing at one side, and asked, “Has she been taking a lot of supplements recently?”

Miss Corinne was even given some of the special millennia-old herbs that the old lady collected. Might this be the cause, perhaps?”

You’ll get heaty if you eat too much of them, and it’ll only lead to endocrine disorders and early periods. Her nosebleeds and period pains are a sign that her body has been overloaded with the supplements!”

Jeremy’s expression turned sullen. “And how shall we treat her condition?”

The old doctor lowered his head and wrote down a prescription. “Easy! Just stop taking the supplements, and eat some of the painkillers I’ve just prescribed. Remember to drink plenty of water when you get home, and eat as you normally would.”
