Chapter 817
Zoey opened the package and saw painkillers and sanitary pads inside. Her face turned even pinker.
Zoey got herself together and stepped out of the tent. She asked in confusion, “I remember you gave me something to drink, and now my abdominal pain has resolved.”
Every time she was on her period, the pain was unbearable. But she felt comfortable this time.
Mike explained, “You can’t use those pills. Aria practices traditional medicine, so we asked her for help and found some herbs for you.”
Zoey was stunned. She never would have guessed that it was Aria who had helped her out.
She bit her lip, determined to thank Aria properly once the competition was over.
At the same time, Aria asked, “The competition lasts half a month. Half the girls may run into their period. When you can’t use the pills in the supply packs, how do you handle it?”
Cathy’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “They could only take medicine to skip it.”
Allison sighed. “Zoey took medicine too, but maybe the rain threw things off and it happened anyway.”
“Who took medicine?” asked Aria.
Emily raised her hand and said, “Jocelyn, Allison, and I.”
Aria said, “We’ve gathered so many supply packs, but none of them have sanitary pads. Did any of you bring your own?”

She knew there was one left.
Aria was about to walk over when the drone took off in a panic.
In the observation room, Fillip was mad. “What the hell is going on?”
A staff member wiped the sweat from his brow and said cautiously, “Mr. Shepherd, rules are rules. Inspections are required. They chose not to bring it themselves.”
“Have you heard of making exceptions for special circumstances? I can let the sanitary pad thing go, but what about the medicine?” Fillip demanded.
“None of them brought any. The director said since nobody was on their period, we didn’t have to worry about it.”
Fillip barely managed to contain his anger. He stopped watching the video and stormed out. “Take me to whoever’s in charge,” said Fillip,

He never handled these kinds of things and had never attended any of the meetings, so he was completely out of the loop.
If it wasn’t Zoey who suddenly fell ill, nobody would’ve paid any attention to this issue.
The other guys had never realized that the girls had to take medicine to avoid their periods and be able to compete.
Tessa scoffed when she saw it.
