Chapter 29

Everything hurts.

I feel like my body will break every time I take a step. It was already in the middle of the night, and I couldn't sleep because of the pain. So, I decided to go downstairs and look for painkillers.

Fortunately, when Mathieu dropped me off earlier, mom and her family went out for dinner. I was relieved because I was practically shaking when I entered the house, fearing that mom would see and criticize me.

I grimaced as I slowly and quietly descended the stairs. It took me some time to finally arrive at the stairs' bottom. After catching my breath, I slowly walked to the kitchen and carefully opened the drawers to find the medicine.

I found the medicines in the fourth drawer and checked the labels one by one.

"Paracetamol, cough drops, decongestants, antihistamine... Ah, here it is. Thank goodness." I said in relief as I quickly opened the bottle, took out a pill, popped it in my mouth, and drank water from my glass.
