CHAPTER 28
The day after their Switzerland trip, Daph and Viv came back to London. Because of the long flight, Viv couldn't sleep the whole way — she sometimes had trouble sleeping anyway. When they arrived in London, Daph carried all their luggage while Viv immediately went to bed without even washing her face.
Daph looked at Viv and smiled helplessly, then fed Duke Pudding, took a quick shower, and finally jumped into bed, hugging Viv before falling asleep.
The next day, Viv and Daph were still sleeping soundly when Viv suddenly woke up. Although she wasn't fully awake, she felt something uncomfortable in her body. She gently looked down at her pants.
"Oh, shit..." Viv mumbled in panic, then staggered into the bathroom.
Daph also woke up in a daze, her arm groping for Viv but finding nothing. Half sitting, half lying, she looked toward Viv's figure in the bathroom.
"Morning, sweetheart," Daph smirked sleepily.
"Damn London," Viv replied with annoyance, her voice still sounding sleepy.
Daph smiled mischievously, staring at Viv's angry and flustered expression, and jokingly asked, "What happened?"
Viv replied dejectedly, as if someone had just stolen her ancient books: "I'm on my period... shit... this is the first morning in London when I just wanted to be a normal person."
"Oh, shit," Daph said, surprisingly sitting up and gazing at Viv with wide eyes, then slyly added, "That's a good omen, isn't it? ... It means you're not pregnant yet!" she said confidently with excitement.
"And I think that's a sign I should kick you out of here," Viv replied dryly. Having said that, she kept holding her lower abdomen and slammed the bathroom door, leaving Daph still looking around in confusion.
Then Viv suddenly opened the door slightly, poked her head out, and ordered, "Buy me some menstrual panties."
Daph shook her head with a bitter smile, then got out of bed to prepare breakfast.
It was a hard day. Viv's face was pale, her stomach pain relentless. She didn't touch her breakfast and just lay limp on the sofa. Duke Pudding rested on her abdomen, his purring helping soothe her fatigue.
Daph was preparing a hot compress for Viv, looking at her with both heartbreak and amusement.
"Skipping breakfast won't make the pain go away," Daph smirked slyly, coming closer and sitting next to Viv.
"I can't stand menstrual cramps, so I will never have children in the future," Viv said firmly while frowning.
Daph gazed at her lovingly, pinched her cheek, and replied, "Alright, we can adopt a child whenever you want."
"I'll adopt a boy... boys always love their mom the most," Viv said deadpan, though she was secretly confident in her reasoning — until the pain pulled her face back into displeasure.
But refusing to let the pain control her, she continued to murmur, "I'll teach him not to harass women."
Daph looked at Viv with emotion and replied, "And if he's gay, we should teach him not to harass men either."
Viv's pain seemed to lessen; she let out a slight smile while still keeping her usual cold expression, immersing herself in the peace of a London morning.
