Robert hung up and immediately informed Avery about what she told him, in an attempt to blher ire on her period. He insinuated that Layla would not have been as mad as him as he teased her all the time.
Avery frowned at her son's words and thought to herself, "She has just moved out and now she's on her period with no one to look after her!' She turned to discuss with Elliot, who immediately said, "Get the cook to make something Layla likes, and we will deliver dinner to her later." "I was thinking the sthing. She probably needs something hot," she said before getting the servants to cook sof Layla's favorite dishes.
Meanwhile, Layla glanced through all the sanitary products Eric had bought.

"I bought painkillers, and the doctor said that you can take them if it gets too painful." Eric took out the painkillers and asked, "Do you want one now?" Layla shook her head. "It's not hurting as much. My mom used to say that it's best not to take painkillers if I can bear it." She took the sanitary products and a clean set of clothes and headed into the bathroom.
As soon as she got up, Eric spotted the blood stain on the bedsheets.
"I will change the bedsheets later," she said when she noticed the stunned look on his face.
She walked into the bathroom and Eric immediately went to find clean bedsheets in her closet.
He had not done any chores prior to his retirement and that was the reason why Layla had mocked him for never having to take care of anyone. However, he had learned to take care of himself ever since his retirement.
He lived alone and would hire cleaners to clean his house every other day, so he had not encountered any difficulties.
By the tLayla cout of the shower, the bedsheets had already been changed and the stained ones were nowhere to be found.

In the guest bathroom, Eric was washing the blood stain off the bedsheets by hand. She blushed when she saw his long fingers work the soap into the fabric. "You need bed rest, and I can handle this." Eric did not seem to mind the blood.
She stood by the door and stared at him like he was an angel that had fallen to earth.
"Eric, just what are you trying to do? I asked you out and you turneddown, yet here you are taking care of me. Don't you think you are contradicting yourself?" Not giving him the chance to argue, she continued, "If your girlfriend Sees what you are doing here, what would she think? I feel like a mistress or something." Bet Eric cleaned the blood stain and tossed the bedsheets into the washing machine before pressing the start button. "Layla, am I supposed to just break ties with female friends just because I'm seeing someone?" He walked over to the door and stared at her calmly. "You are sick right now and refuse to tell your family. I'm sure anyone would understand that I'm simply taking care of you as your senior." "Mm... As my senior, huh?" She said sarcastically. "Do you want to wash my panties too, then? Since you are taking care of me, you should do everything!" Eric fell silent at her tone, and she took a deep breath before returning to the bedroom.
Her stomach was hurting, and she felt both cold and powerless, so she immediately went to bed as soon as she was inside the bedroom.
After a while, Eric entered the master bathroom and Layla watched him.
"He can't actually want to wash my panties, right?" She thought to herself in disbelief. "What should I do if he really tries to do that?"
