Stefan brought her a hot ginger soup and a hot compress. "Let me help you up." He lifted her up and arranged the pillows before putting her back to sit on the bed. "Here's the hot compress for you. You press it on your lower stomach while I feed you."

"I hate this." Cayenne mumbled while pressing the compress on her body. "It's painful."

"Where's my brave and strong wife who talked about having children yesterday?" Stefan teased which made Cayenne pursed her lips and endure the pain. "Giving birth is said to be more painful than this."

"At least, we'll see our baby after the pain. Unlike this, after the pain I'll have to wait for another month and I'll be in pain again."

"I wish I can take it away from you." Stefan sighed with an upset expression on his face. She hated her period? He hated it, too – not really the period but the pain it brings to her. Other people don't suffer like her every month.

Stefan scooped some soup and blew it before feeding her. "Are you going to the company?" Cayenne asked after swallowing the soup.

"I won't. I'll stay here with you. Chris will come to give me whatever that needed my attention."

"What about my work?"

"You can work on it once you're fine. Don't think too much about it."

Cayenne nodded her head and opened her mouth for another spoonful of the soup that Stefan made. After few minutes, Cayenne finished the whole bowl of soup and felt a little better. "I'm going to sleep."

"Okay." Stefan helped her to lie down on bed covered her with the thick quilt. "I'll just bring this to the kitchen. I'll be right back."

Cayenne watched him leave the room while she clutched on the hot compress she's holding. 'If I get pregnant now and I give birth, the next time I have my period, will I still be in pain?' Cayenne thought about this as she stared on the closed door. 'I'll ask someone about this later.'

Her lashes fluttered while waiting for Stefan. Her eyelids were drooping low, an obvious sign that she was drowsy but she stayed awake to wait for Stefan.

The door opened and Cayenne's eyes immediately widened to see her husband coming inside. "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"I'm waiting for you." Cayenne murmured while covering her mouth with the blanket.

Stefan paused on his track for awhile upon hearing her response. His wife looked so cute under the blanket. "I'm sorry to keep you waiting." He continued walking and got on the bed to lie beside her.

Cayenne turned to face him and felt that her lower tummy wasn't that painful anymore. "I want a hug."

Stefan kissed the tip of her nose and grinned. "A hug it is." He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her body even closer to him. "Just go to sleep. I'll hold the compress for you."

"Thank you." She pressed her face on his chest, inhaling his masculine scent to calm herself.

Perhaps it was because she was drowsy or perhaps it was because she finally felt relaxed that Cayenne fell asleep not even five minutes after Stefan stayed with her.

Stefan watched her sleeping face and found her forehead were dotted with cold sweats. He wanted to give her a child but he didn't want her to feel pain. If possible, she'd bare the pain for her during her monthly period. Sadly, there's no way to do that. He wipes the cold sweats with the back of his hand and kissed it.

Around ten in the morning, a car arrived in Cayenne's property and Erwin came to open the gate for the guests. Obviously, it was Reuben Montefalco. He already said that he'd be visiting his daughter but now, Cayenne was still sleeping in the arms of her husband.

"Erwin, where's Cayenne?" Reuben asked the moment he stepped out of the car. He walked to the other side of the car and opened the door to help his wife come down.

"Young miss is still sleeping."

"Sleeping? It's almost lunch time." Reuben commented as he looked towards the house. It was well-maintained and the garden was well-groomed as well.

Erwin bowed his head slightly as he spoke. "Young miss is currently suffering from her monthly period. Her husband is taking care of her but she fell asleep."

"Oh." Reuben didn't say anything and just strode inside the house. Walking beside him was Ingrid, his wedded wife.

"It seems like they're doing good." Ingrid commented as she stepped inside the house.

"I trust that man to take care of her no matter what happens or else, I can just take my daughter away and never let him see her again."

"Are you sure your daughter will come with you?"

Reuben pressed his lips into thin line and didn't comment on his wife's question. There's no need to comment on it because he knew the answer to it. Cayenne will never go with him.

Stefan didn't want to be unhospitable towards his father-in-law so, he slipped out of the bed, covered his wife with thick quilt and left the room in tiptoes. He was just about to close the door when he realized something - she'll be looking for him once she wakes up.

Stefan came back inside, opened her phone and dialed his own phone number. After he answered the call, he let it continue while placing Cayenne's phone on the bedside table. In this way, he'd be able to hear any sound that's coming from her.

He connected the call to his Bluetooth earphone and finally left the room to face the guests. Erwin was currently serving them some refreshments when Stefan came down to see them.

"Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Montefalco." Stefan greeted them while keeping half of his attention to the silence background coming from his call.

"No need for formalities. How's my daughter?"

"She's sleeping right now." Stefan answered before sitting on the couch across them. "She'll be awake soon."

"Thank you for taking care of her."

"That's what a husband should do." Stefan replied without thinking that the man in front of him once abandoned his wife and child.
