A Billion Dollar Exchange

Chapter 19 - Cramps



"Jin Yue!!, wait up, you don't need to be like that, it's just three days" Eva ran up to Jin Yue who was almost fuming. They were returning to China, Eva was half caste. Her mom was American, while her dad Chinese. She was pretty and intelligent. A personal assistant to Teresa Kiel, she met Jin Yue in business meetings between their companies. She took a liking to him, and when he showed a little interest, she had sticked to him like superglue, and now he was returning to China, she had asked to come with him but he refused.

She didn't argue with him, she just silently quit her job, her parents stayed in China so she told them she was coming back. She booked the same flight with Jin Yue and waited for him at the airport, as she sighted him she ran to his direction with a sly smile on her face. When he saw her, he was very annoyed, he told her to go back but she refused.

She told him she was going to stay for just three days so he would let her follow him. But Eva knew the moment she stepped her feet on Beijing's soil, she was not going back, ever!

Jin Yue had just wanted to play her since she threw herself at him, but was not expecting that she would stick to him and never let go, he didn't love her but at least he decided to give her a little face given their affair.

"Just three days and I'll send you to the airport myself?" He asked staring at the woman tugging at his arm.

"Yes, yes, I promise; thank you Jin Yue, you are so sweet" She giggled as she held her suitcase tightly and ran after Jin Yue who was taking large strides to the checkpoint.

Liling just wrote her last written exam, she lay on her bed as she browsed through Weibo. The only exam remaining was the practical. She had practiced a lot and didn't know what else to practice so she lay there eating potato chips and commenting on funny posts. A message popped up, it was an unknown number. Tapping on it, Liling read the contents.

"How was your exams?, are you free tommorow?" Liling was surprised at the message, she knew everyone who was close enough to send such message, and their numbers were successfully saved in her phone. So she thought that maybe the sender mistyped the receiver's number, therefore she exited her message app and returned to Weibo.

On the other end, Chang Ming didn't receive any reply, he frowned a little as he stared at his message inbox. 'Oh, she doesn't even have my number, I'm so dumb' Chang Ming chuckled a little at his realization and quickly sent another message.

'Chang Ming?, the nurse?, So he has not forgotten me, haha. Well, I'm so sorry nurse, I'm very busy tomorrow and if it's possible throughout this month!'

Liling scoffed as she read the new message that popped up. She quickly drafted a short and precise message telling Chang Ming she was very very busy and wouldn't even have time throughout the month. Smiling at herself she sent the message over. Almost immediately, she felt a sharp pain on her lower abdomen and the hand that was picking up a chip immediately froze. 'No, no, don't tell me,.... cramps? '

She fell into a state of panic, she had acute dysmenorrhea and her drugs had finished. Her roommates weren't around and it was raining heavily outside. She looked at the time, it was just nine o'clock in the morning. Standing up, she boiled water with the boiler and sat on her bed as she prayed for the rain to stop, knowing that if the pain increases, she mayn't be able to get up from her bed and no-one was around.

Liling took a cup of hot water and diluted it, she drank it slowly. Then she put the remaining hot water in a bottle and diluted it a little, she tightened the bottle cover and used it as a heat pad for her abdomen while waiting for the drizzling to stop.
