The Wicked Wife's Dark History Keeps Coming Back To Haunt Her - Chapter 157
âHoney, I just want to ask, just in caseâŚâ
If the fragmented scenes and sensations floating in her head were realâŚ
âDid we⌠go all the way?â
Her memory stopped exactly there, but the nuance of what had come to mind was no joke.
He denied it with a firm expression.
âWe did not.â
âThen, did we⌠kiss, by any chanceâŚ?â
âWould you even call that a kiss?â
If their mouths were open and their tongues were all over the place, doesnât that count?
Nina pursed her lips awkwardly, seeing him look at her as if she were strange.
Anyway, from the way he was speaking, it seemed those memories really were true.
HaahâŚ
Nina let out a deep sigh and lowered her eyes.
Just the other day, she had been grumbling that sheâd end up rumored to have conceived a child all by herself, like the Virgin Mary.
A peckâno, a deep kissâhad happened.
âBut whatâs a little disappointing is⌠I didnât get to do it with a clear head⌠No, why am I disappointed about that?â
Startled at her own thoughts, Nina soon realized it was fine to feel disappointed.
No matter who it was with, it was still her first kiss.
Her first kiss, across both her previous and current life, and sheâd spent it in an incoherent state?
If she wailed in frustration, it would be justified.
âUnghâŚâ
She rubbed her face with both hands, wallowing in the sense of loss over her first kiss, then anxiously asked,
âI spat it out as soon as it went into my mouth, but if it was enough to make me like that⌠just how dangerous is this stuff?â
She hadnât even swallowed it, and yet just the residue left in her mouth was enough to make her lose consciousness.
âI really need to have a doctor check me overâŚâ
She remembered a news story from modern times, when there was a big uproar over drugs. A victim had gone to the hospital for immediate gastric lavage after drinking a spiked beverage.
Gastric lavage.
She wanted to clean out her stomach completely.
But that wasnât possible.
Sheâd lost consciousness before she could even throw up what was insideâŚ
âWhat if I end up addicted like thisâŚ?â
Nina hunched her shoulders, trembling with fear.
She got goosebumps at the thought she might end up like that madman sheâd seen in the Braumhill County.
Sunken eyes, a gaunt body, flipping his eyes as he lunged at her with violence, writhing in agony and screamingâŚ
âYou spat it out immediately, so that shouldnât happen.â
âRightâŚ?â
Seeing her forcing a smile through her fearful gaze, Ash replied resolutely, as if to reassure her.
âDo you think Iâd let that happen to you? Even if someone tried to save you, Iâd rip it out by the root so they couldnât. Youâd better just focus on getting better.â
ââŚThatâs reassuring.â
Nina breathed a sigh of relief, gazing at his ashen eyes overflowing with hostility for someone.
If she didnât go looking for it herself, and if he wiped out all traces of that damned drug from around her, she would be safe.
But the problem was that until they destroyed the mysterious group producing that drug, anyone was at risk of addictionâŚ
A drug that could ruin a personâs life.
Recalling the sensations sheâd felt before losing consciousness, Nina shuddered with cold dread.
âAt that time, my body didnât feel like my ownâŚâ
The abnormal heightening of her senses, the pain that came with it, the abnormal fever that made her heart pound as if it would burst.
The person who made something so harmful deserved to be ground to dust and wiped from the world entirely.
Who on earth could have made her drink that?
âOh, what about everyone else? Is everyone else okay?â
ââŚYou were the only one targeted. Thanks to Lady Barrington keeping quiet, no one else even knows anything happened.â
A flash of icy blue crossed Ashâs eyes.
If the culprit were here now, his look was fierce enough to cut them to pieces.
âThatâs a relief. Thereâs nothing good that comes from word getting out about being drugged. So only a few people know about this, right?â
âAt the moment, only Their Majesties, Lady Barrington, and myself. And a few imperial investigators who will handle the case.â
âI seeâŚâ
But who could have tried to harm her?
Among the people who held a grudge against her, who would actually go this far�
Without even needing to think deeply, Rebecca came to mind.
But was Rebeccaâs grudge really this deep?
âCould it really be because of that timeâŚ?â
Did she really do something like this just because of what happened at the exhibition, completely ignoring the two years sheâd spent tormenting Nina?
Sheâs completely insane.

She IS INSANE, HELLO!!!!! Did she not realize this already when Rebecca went as far as to hire a spy?! Or the fact that sheâs so obsessed with Nina that she spends every party, and I mean EVERY CHANCE SHE HAS, to bad mouth Nina?! Maybe, if Nina actually DID SOMETHING about it instead of constantly letting it go, thibgs wouldnât have gotten this far. She says she hasnât exposed the fact that Rebecca has been spying, and even tried to plant underwear to create discord, because sheâs waiting for the right moment⌠but how long does she plan to wait? Until Rebecca kills her?!?! Like cmon, DO SOMETHING ALREADY!!! Or at the very least Ash should do something. In the first life he had no problem investigating and building a huge case against Nina and her family and exposing them, yet now when someone is targeting his wife and in turn, himself, and yet he takes absolutely no steps?!
