Chapter 74 Hot Water

The day before the quiz, Ainsley had been busy at school.

She set up the auditorium with members of the planning department and organization department. Even Cody stayed there late since he couldn’t rest assured.

“Have the test papers been put in place?” Cody asked.

Ainsley nodded. “I put them in the safe in the consultation room. And only I have the keys.”

“That’s good.” Cody nodded.

After Cody left, Ainsley still couldn’t rest assured. She tested all kinds of equipment in the

auditorium again.

It was already half past eleven in the evening when everything was ready. Ainsley breathed a sigh of relief tiredly. No matter what, as long as tomorrow’s quiz could go smoothly, it was worth it to be

exhausted.

She went back to the consulting room to pack her things. Before she went out, she received a call

from Serina.

“Ainsley, why haven’t you come back yet?” Serina asked in a concerned voice.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already packed up. I’ll go home immediately. It’s already so late. Go to bed quickly. You still have to participate in the quiz tomorrow.” Ainsley’s voice was ****.

Serina’s voice was still sleepy. “Then remember to tell me when you get home.”

Ainsley felt a warmth in her heart and nodded in agreement.

It was already midnight. Not many lights were lit up on the campus. The students who stayed to set up the auditorium mostly lived in the school. For safety, Ainsley let them go back at ten.

She was the only one walking on the campus now. The wind whistled. Ainsley held her arms. The night was moist and cold.

She was not afraid of the cold, but the darkness made her feel at a loss. There was no one around. She turned on the flashlight of her phone. This light gave her a great sense of security.

When she walked to the school gate, she found that the familiar Cayenne was parked there, and

Manuel was waiting for her.

“Why are you here?” She was a little moved.

It was hard to describe this feeling. Instantly, she was no longer afraid.

Manuel opened the door to the passenger seat for her and said in a ***voice, “Serina told me

that you haven’t returned home yet. She asked me to come over and take a look.”

“Thank you.” Ainsley sat in. The car lights were aimed at the gate of University of Washington. It was still dark there.

“I’ll send you back.”

The car drove in the direction of the apartment. Ainsley’s heart was beating hard from the moment she got into the car.

Before she arrived at the apartment, Ainsley felt pain in her lower abdomen. She covered her lower abdomen. Her period came. Today was the first day.

This morning, her lower abdomen hurt a little. She thought that it wouldn’t hurt too much this time. Why was she in so much pain now?

Right! That bottle of cold beer!

Before setting up today, she invited everyone to eat barbecue. At that time, she drank a bottle of

beer.

Her forehead was covered with sweat, her hands resting on her abdomen.

“What’s wrong?” Manuel looked at her pale face worriedly.

“I, I’m fine…” Her voice trembled, and the pain in her lower abdomen became more and more

intense.

what’s wrong?” Manuel slowed down and frowned.

“Tell me, what’s wrong?

“It hurts me a little.” She said softly.

Hurt?

“Where do you feel hurt?” Manuel asked nervously.

“Just send me home.” Ainsley bit her lips, unwilling to say anything else.

At this point, Manuel understood the situation.

“I’ll take you to the hospital.” He raised the temperature in the car.

“Don’t go to the hospital!” Ainsley said subconsciously.

“Listen to me,” Manuel said firmly.

Ainsley wanted to refuse Manuel, but Manuel was already heading toward the hospital.

“I don’t want to go to the hospital. I just need some painkillers,” Ainsley murmured.

“Do you always hurt so much?” Manuel couldn’t help but grab the steering wheel.

“No. But I drank a bottle of cold beer today.”

“Don’t you forget about it?” Manuel’s voice was a little low.

“I was too happy at that time, so I forgot.” Ainsley froze.

The car stopped at the entrance of the hospital. Late at night, there was no need to register. There were only doctors on duty in the emergency room.

Fortunately, the one on duty today was a doctor from the gynecology department. The doctor prescribed some medicine to treat period pain, along with painkillers.

“Take this. One time a day.”

“Got it.” Ainsley nodded.

She wanted to say that there was really nothing serious with her. Normally, she wouldn’t be so painful. It was all because of that bottle of cold beer.

They returned to the car. Manuel’s face was gloomy. He parked the car in front of the apartment and headed toward the elevator with the medicine bag.

Ainsley was stunned and quickly followed.

At the door of the house, Ainsley opened the door. “Mr. Gage, it’s too late. You should go back to

rest.”

Manuel did not reply to her. He went straight into the door and took the medicine out.

“Mr. Gage…”

Ainsley went to clean herself up first. Then she saw Manuel prepare the medicine and boil water for

her.

He was very serious, so serious that it seemed that he was dealing with the company’s affairs.

Soon, the water was ready. Manuel took a glass of water along with the medicine she needed to take.

Then he was about to take them to Ainsley.

Ainsley took two painkillers along with water.

“You drank cold water.” Manuel walked out and glanced at the water that she Ainsley had drunk

with medicine.

“I didn’t pay attention. I was only focused on the medicine.” Ainsley’s hand that was holding the

glass trembled and she placed the glass on the table.

“Fine.” Manuel handed her the glass of hot water in his hand. “Drink it.”

“It’s too hot!” Ainsley dodged as long as she touched the glass.

“Yes, and the water you drank just now was too cold,” Manuel said lightly.

Fine…

“I will drink it when it gets a little colder.” Ainsley was actually a little guilty.

Manuel nodded and sat opposite her. “How’s the arrangement of the auditorium?”

“It’s all good. We just have to wait until the quiz begins tomorrow. I really hope nothing goes wrong.” Ainsley looked grave.

She was afraid that someone wanted to mess with her, especially since Kaitlin had also signed up for the quiz.

“Nothing will happen. I will also be there.”

Ainsley took the glass over and said with a seeming smile. “Are you sure, Mr. Gage? When your family held the banquet, you were there. When Kaitlin celebrated her birthday, you were also there.

“Aisy, are you saying that I can’t protect you?” Manuel said with a smile.

“Of course not. I don’t dare to ask you to protect me, Mr. Gage.” Ainsley drank some water and gasped because the water was still hot.

“Of course. You are so brilliant and powerful.”

Ainsley blushed. She felt that Manuel was treating her in a way of treating a child.

“The way you coax me makes me feel like you are treating me as a child. Tell me, are you coaxing

me in the way of coaxing Serina?”

Manuel shook his head. “Serina doesn’t need me to coax her. But you? Aisy, I think you are really a

child. Then why did your abdomen hurt so much tonight? You even dared to drink cold beer during

this special time!”

“Mr. Gage, you have said it several times!” Ainsley was both embarrassed and angry.

“Or you won’t remember that.” Manuel stood up.

“Let me do it!” As Ainsley spoke, she propped herself up. Manuel was feeling at home, but this was her place!
