At the hospital.
Weston returned to the ward after smoking a cigarette. Hayden heard a noise at the door and signaled to Guinevere, who was lying on the hospital bed.
âHeâs back.â
Guinevere was anxiously picking on her nails, but she immediately sat upright at Haydenâs signal.
âWeston?â she called out anxiously.
Her eyes fixed on Weston as he walked to her side. The sight of him finally calmed her down.
Hayden looked at Weston. âSeems like you canât just walk off now.â
Guinevere grabbed his hands, allowing him to go no further.
Weston looked at the clock on the wall and sat by her bedside. âContinue the treatment.â
Outside the hospital.
Stella glanced at her watch and called Zeta.
âDr. Taylor, are you free now?â
âWhatâs up?â
âIâm almost out of medicine. When will be a good time for me to hop over and get more supplies?â
âIâm a little busy todayâ¦.â Zeta glanced at her schedule. âDo you have time today?â
âWhatâs a good time?â
âRight now?â Zeta pressed her phone against her ear with her elbow as she typed on the keyboard with her fingers.
âNow?â
The sound of fingers tapping the keyboard came through the phone, and Stella heard her say after a moment, âYes, right now. I have an online conference later and need to go overseas tonight. I do have some time right now.â
Stella hesitated. âI seeâ¦â
She didnât want to bump into Guinevere in the hospital.
If she guessed correctly, Guinevere was at the hospital and Weston would certainly be by her side. She didnât want to risk itâ¦
âDr. Taylor, how long will you be overseas?â
âFor a month or so. Why do you ask?â
Zeta put the phone against her other ear, oblivious to Stellaâs concerns. âHow much longer can your pills last?â
âProbably another three to five days.â
âThat should be enough.â Although she was still a virgin, she knew how these things worked.
Whatâs more, as a doctor, she had friends who specialized in this area and knew it was normal that a person would be engaged in three to five times of sexual activities a month.
She naturally concluded, âI think that should be enough for one month.â
Stella remained silent.
Given Westonâs frequency, however, the pills would be gone in a week.
How would she hold out for the remaining three weeks?
If she didnât take the pills, she couldnât even accept a kiss from him. Weston would surely sense that something was wrong.
Stella said rather carefully, âIâm sorry, Dr. Taylor. Iâm afraid the pills might not last one monthâ¦â
Zeta put aside what she was doing and said hesitantly, âIf he has such high demands, try communicating with him instead. Itâs not good for you to take so much medicine.â
She could finally understand why Stella was in such misery.
Stella looked like a woman with a low sex drive, sometimes even coming off as cold.
Yet, her other half was needier in this aspect. If they couldnât come to an agreement, Stella would be in for a hard time.
These things would require both parties to come to an agreement, though the men were the ones who couldnât get things going in some cases. There were also cases where the man had such a high sex drive that their female partners found it hard to swallow.
