Chapter 385 Need a Doctor?

"Idiot, if you talk nonsense again, I'll beat you up!" Jessica declared as she exerted her authority,partly to discipline Daniel, but also to affirm her sovereignty. She knew even though Beauty ridiculedhim now, she couldn't rule out the chance of a spark in the future. Women didn't like Daniel at firstsight, but after spending time with him, they couldn't help but fall for him. It was as if he had somemystical power. Especially with beautiful women – this idiot somehow always managed to charmthem.

...

Back at the Matthews mansion, Jessica settled Beauty into the building where Daniel was staying.Recently for convenience, Jessica had moved into the same building, though she did not share aroom with Daniel.

In the middle of the night, a half-asleep Jessica was startled awake by moans coming from the nextroom – Beauty was crying out. Jessica quickly slipped into her slippers and dashed next door,flinging the door open. Beauty was curled up in a ball on the bed, clutching her stomach and rollingwith pain, her wails echoing in the room. Relieved, Jessica reassured herself it was just menstrualcramps and not what she had dreaded.

For a moment when she first heard the sounds, Jessica suspected Daniel was in Beauty's room.Had that been the case, she would have killed that idiot on the spot!

Seeing Beauty in pain, Jessica hastened to her side, full of concern.

"Are you okay? Should I call a doctor?"

"A doctor? Can a doctor cure menstrual cramps? Do you have any ibuprofen?"

"Ibuprofen might help with the pain, but it's not a cure and could damage your health in the long run.Otherwise, let me call Daniel. He's really good at medicine—even Joshua, the top doctor in theUSA, has praised his skills."

"Joshua? As in, Joshua of The Grants?"

"Yes, that's him."

"Do you think you've been hanging out with that country boy too long and picked up his habit ofbragging?"

"I'm not bragging. Daniel really is that good. I'll go get him."

...

Jessica reached Daniel's room downstairs. The door opened easily at her touch. Approaching thebed, she saw Daniel asleep, clutching her favorite teddy bear, snoring like a dead pig. She slappedhim awake without hesitation.

Smack!

Roused and clutching his stinging buttock, he asked, "What are you doing?"

"What am I doing? What are you doing not locking your door while you sleep? Who is this for?"

"For whom? For you, honey! Apart from you, what other woman deserves to enter my room?"

"Get up quickly! Beauty is in pain from cramps; she's rolling around on the bed. She's practicallydying from pain. Go check on her now."

"What's her cramps got to do with me? She’s not my wife! Besides, with her attitude towards meand her hiring someone to break my legs, I'm not interested in treating her."

With that, Daniel turned away, clutching his teddy bear, intending to go back to sleep and ignoreJessica.
