The Wicked Wife 2

Chapter 248: A Twisted Fate

"Jennie, don't you think that two burgers should be enough?" Lisa eyed his wife suspiciously, noticing the sudden burst of appetite he didn't know she had. He had to put away his untouched meal, hoping that Jennie wouldn't overeat tonight.

Jennie always watched what she ate and was careful not to indulge in too many sweets after every meal. However, since the week started, she had been sending the Kang sisters to get various types of foods she'd been craving for and tonight, she was able to convince Lisa to drop by a fast food chain to get some snacks on their way home.

"But didn't you say I can order whatever I want?" She said defensively, making Lisa regret the offer.

"What's going on, Jennie? Did you skip lunch again?" He eyed her suspiciously. Even with Seulgi's help, it was hard for Lisa to make sure that his wife was having her meals on time. He would rather not have her starving herself again.

"Huh? No. Of course not." She mumbled, which only meant that Lisa got it right.

"I kinda dozed off earlier and missed some of my appointments." She admitted. Thankfully, those appointments could be rescheduled for later.

Lisa cleared his throat and looked outside the window, seeing the other cars disappear from his view as Nine drove them home. He had an inkling of what was going on with his wife, and he counted the days since the last time they made love to each other.

It was after Rosé's celebration party, and it had been over a month since then.

'But we used protection, didn't we?'

The memory of that night was blurry for Lisa, but he did remember returning home and being jumped by the equally drunk Jennie. He woke up the next day, finding a used condom on the floor with his wife already in the bathroom, starting her day before him. If that was the case, there was no way he knocked her up, right?

"Where did you and Rosé go the other day, by the way? Seulgi said you also canceled all your appointments and asked her to reschedule them. Did something happen?" He asked, forcing his way in through another subject. It wasn't like he didn't trust Jennie, but he didn't want to be left in the dark for too long if there's another problem he could help her with.

"Oh, that's my annual check up. Rosé usually scheduled it for me ever since you moved to Shenjing years ago. I almost missed it if it was not for her reminder." Jennie gave him an awkward smile, which only told Lisa that she wasn't being totally honest with him.

"Everything alright?" He continued to probe. He had a nagging feeling that there was more to it than she had let on.

"Uh-huh, nothing's wrong. You'll be the first to know if I'm sick or anything."

Lisa swore that she was hiding something, but he didn't have the guts to call her out for it. It was either she wasn't ready to tell him about whatever it was, or she was trying to buy time to figure out the problem herself. He just hoped that there was nothing wrong with her body. He wasn't looking forward to spending another day at the hospital after dealing with his mother-in-law's illness.

"Also, since Rosie will start attending med school soon, I decided to catch up with her." Jennie added, as if she was trying to convince herself that there was nothing wrong.

Suddenly, she started to feel nauseous and dizzy at the same time. She held her husband's arm tightly, her face draining its colors as she yelled at Nine.

"Stop the car! Please, stop the car! Stop the car right now!"

It was a miracle that Nine was able to remain calm as he veered to the side of the road and pulled the car to a stop, given how sudden Jennie had shouted her orders.
