Chapter 94: Steps
At that time, she will definitely return to him. Slowly, she will have no choice but to stay near him for the delicious food.
Once the dinner was over, Ivy stood up to wash the dishes, but Silas stopped her, "No need, I will do it."
"No! You made the dishes! I will wash them." Ivy stubbornly insisted.
Silas shook his head and explained, "The water is too cold. Your period date is near, if your hands and feets comes constantly in contact with cold water, you will experience severe period cramps."
Silence. Ivy fell silent, her cheeks slowly turned crimson, and she muttered, "I... you.. I will... I will return to the room."
Compared to her embarrassment, Silas was relatively calm and even nodded, "Alright. I will make carom seed water for you."
Ivy stuttered, "No need... I... I will make it myself."
"No." Silas stopped with a displeased expression on his face, "Listen to me."
With that, he ignored Ivy and washed the dishes. Ivy watched as Silas took one teaspoon of carom seed, added it to half a cup of water, and boiled it for 10 minutes before straining the carom seed and serving water to Ivy.
Once it was slightly lukewarm, Silas motioned for Ivy to drink it. She paused for a brief moment before drinking it.
Her expression sruched in distaste. It was bitter. But Ivy knew the benefits of carom seeds. They help in digestion and deal with the acidity during periods.
Drinking it in advance can significantly reduce the pain during the period. After finishing it, Ivy saw Silas looking at her with an appreciative gaze.
