As consciousness returned, a painful throb pulsed through his scalp.
Gripping a fistful of his hair, Alexis demanded, “It hurts! Take me to the hospital!”
Were it not for their recent intimacy, he might have mistaken her distress for contractions, assuming she sought assistance for childbirth.
Leonel rose and donned a shirt.
He also assisted Alexis in getting dressed. While doing so, he noticed a small pool of dark blood beneath her. Did she just get her period or something?
A weightiness settled in Leonel’s gaze.
Alexis once again tugged at his dark hair, lamenting, “It’s excruciating!”
The pain compelled her to lean feebly against his shoulder, an embodiment of fragility.
Leonel dared not procrastinate. He proceeded to the cloakroom, fetching clean panties for her, affixing a sanitary pad, and draping a coat over her. Without bothering to attire himself further, he queried, “Is the pain severe?”
Stripped of her usual arrogance, Alexis nodded faintly.
“Yes, it hurts a lot.”
Cradling her in his arms, Leonel descended the stairs. Before long, he settled her into the car, reassuring her, “We’ll reach the hospital shortly.”
Alexis was afflicted with a blood clotting disorder from birth.

Following emergency care, it was concluded that the distress stemmed from both the medication and her menstrual cycle. The doctor perused Alexis’ electronic medical records, and then directed attention back to her.
“If the blood loss becomes too severe, we may need to contemplate a transfusion! Procuring blood of your type isn’t a straightforward task.”
Leonel interjected quietly, “We share the same blood type.”
The doctor, somewhat incredulous, jestingly remarked with a smile, “You two are married, correct? That conveniently resolves matters, self-sufficiency”
“No!”
Alexis raised her head, declaring, “I’ll arrange for someone to procure blood for me! I have a freezer containing nearly 10, 000 ml of stored blood.”
