Back in her bedroom, Joanna curled up on the bed, holding a hot water bottle and pressing it against her stomach in an effort to relieve the cramp that intensified with time.
Sitting on the edge of the bed next to her was Bianca, who busily rubbed her back with gentle pressure applied, hoping that gentle massage would help her ease the pain.
Seeing her young lady in her current condition, where she curled up on the bed with her eyes closed and a crease appeared between her brows, which showed that she was enduring the pain, mixed feelings grew inside Bianca.
She remembered how aghast she was this morning when she found her young lady's bedroom vacant. She found her nowhere in every nook and cranny of her room, not even in her bathroom.
It was a situation that she had never faced before. During the time she lived under the same roof with her young lady, which had been over a decade, she had always found her in her room every morning when it was time to wake up from her rest.
