Sickly? Husband's Contractual Wife

Episode 66

I woke up, but strangely, I couldn’t move my body as if it had been hit by something heavy, and an overwhelming fatigue rushed over me.

Why is this happening?

Wondering about my unusual physical condition, I slowly opened my eyes.

“Oh…?”

Then, a quite enchanting scene unfolded before me.

The first thing I saw upon opening my eyes was a face that seemed meticulously carved by a god.

A face that would be extremely harmful to the heart if seen in the morning.

Above that face, long eyelashes elegantly cast shadows.

At the same time, sharp memories from the previous night struck my head.

“Oh my goodness.”

I silently screamed in my mind.

Only then did I begin to understand the exhaustion that dominated my entire body.

It was so tiring, and rightfully so!

This and that, like this and like that, it was confusing!

I worked so hard; how could my body be intact?

It’s absurd!

Moreover, it happened several times.

Just when I thought it was over, again, when I thought it might be the last time, again, when I couldn’t do it anymore, it happened again…

Of course, even that last time wasn’t really the last.

“Seriously, how many times did it happen?”

I let out a soundless scream.

Finally, the fatigue that had taken over my entire body started to make sense.

It was more than just exhaustion; it was absolutely draining.

At that moment, the face that dominated my vision was none other than the one I had seen last night.

“Oh, my.”

I gazed at his sleeping face without making a sound.

Now I truly understood why my body was so exhausted.

It was utterly exhausting, naturally!

This and that, like this and like that, it was overwhelming!

How could my body be intact after all that!

It’s unbelievable!

And it happened multiple times.

‘Beast.’

How could something like that happen?

How could someone…

I glared at his sleeping face.

“He’s handsome…”

Despite the pain throbbing throughout my body, his face was irresistible.

“As long as he’s handsome, is everything okay?”

Pushing my body to its limits and more!

How ridiculous!

Even several times.

‘When was the last time?’

I couldn’t even remember when it was.

“C…Creature.”

How could it be like that?

How could a person…

I stared at his sleeping face with resentment.

“Handsome…”

Even with the pain pulsating in my entire body, he was undeniably good-looking.

“As long as you’re handsome, is that all that matters?”

I remembered him calling me with a strangely flushed face.

When did he ever call me like that?

It sounded so soft and sweet, like my name was made of honey.

And what did I do, how did I react…

“Gyaaah.”

As each memory of last night came back, the embarrassment was entirely on my part.

How did it end up like this?

No, why on earth did it happen?

“Falling… I don’t like it.”

“…”

A sudden memory flashed, and I shivered.

I hoped it wasn’t my words, but that particular memory vividly pierced through.

“What have I done, me!”

Inside me, a storm was raging, but his sleeping face remained perfectly calm.

“Umm…”

I lowered my head and tightly closed my eyes at the sound that escaped Ahmed’s lips.

I can’t meet his eyes like this, absolutely not!

“Please don’t wake up.”

I silently begged over and over again.

Just imagining waking up and meeting his gaze made my whole body feel like it would crumble.

“…”

Fortunately, he didn’t wake up.

Only the rhythmic sound of his breathing was audible, and his faint breath brushed against my forehead.

Thump, thump.

The sound of his heartbeat grew louder.

I looked up again at his face buried in my chest.

Sharp eyes, long eyelashes casting a shadow on his face.

I cautiously pulled the arms wrapped around my waist.

I let go of the arms that embraced my shoulders.

Now all I had to do was raise my body.

That moment arrived.

“…!”

The arms around my waist and back tightened with even greater strength.

“Ugh…”

It was an unimaginable force.

The tight embrace was suffocating to the point where it felt like all the air had been squeezed out of my flattened chest, and the ribs felt as if they were being twisted by the force of the tight grip.

“J-Jo…”

Could it be that he’s awake?

I glanced up in a hurry, but his face remained as calm as ever.

No, for being calm, it’s too much… powerful.

“Let go a bit, please.”

I feared I might suffocate or, even before that, my ribs might break due to the strength of his tight hold.

‘Why is the patient so strong?’

It had always felt strange, but now it was truly incomprehensible.

I tried desperately to push his chest away, but he didn’t budge.

I reached up as if possessed, feeling the firm and tight muscles under my fingertips, but I couldn’t focus on such details.

“Ugh?”

While distractedly probing, my hand suddenly touched something soft.

His lips.

The soft sensation that touched my fingertips was Amoide’s lips.

In that unfamiliar touch, I found myself absentmindedly brushing my lips with my fingers.

It was soft and velvety.

Such a part existed on his body, incredibly weak, soft, and…

At that moment, the arm that had tightly embraced me suddenly loosened.

“Ugh?”

No way, no way.

I moved the hand that had been circling his lips and gently caressed Amoide’s face.

The feeling at my fingertips was beyond imagination.

When his tightly bound arms completely relaxed, I let out a sigh of relief.

“Hah…”

As the tightly compressed ribs expanded, a rush of air filled my lungs.

“Huh… Huh.”

Breathing in the air I had been deprived of for so long, I continued to scrutinize his face.

His eyebrows furrowed slightly, then relaxed.

Swiftly.

I shook my hand in front of his face several times, but there was still no change.

I subtly twisted my body.

As the restraint on my arms was released, I twisted my body a little more.

Finally, I completely escaped from his embrace.

Even then, my eyes were fixed on him all the time.

I had no idea when those eyelids would open, revealing his blue eyes.

Thinking about that possibility, it felt like an eternity.

It was when I managed to get my body out of the sheet.

Now, if I just leave this room…

“…”

As I left the sheet, I felt an emptiness.

Only then did I realize that I was completely naked without a single piece of clothing.

I eagerly looked around to find something to put on.

On the floor were the clothes he had taken off yesterday, scattered carelessly.

A dress here, an underskirt there, and some other underwear over there.

Looking at them, the memories of last night vividly came back.

“Enough!”
Shaking my head from side to side, I screamed silently within myself. I made an intense effort to shake off the remnants of last night, but it was futile. If anything, the more I tried, the more vivid the memories became.

“Selené.”

How he called me and how he touched me lingered too prominently in my mind.

“Ah…!”

To rid myself of these tormenting memories, there was no choice but to leave this space as quickly as possible.

“Hurry, let’s get out quickly.”

I cautiously placed my feet on the floor underneath the bed.

“Ah!”

As my bare feet touched the floor, a groan escaped involuntarily. I hastily covered my mouth, turning around to find that he was still peacefully asleep.

“Ugh…”

It felt like my waist was about to snap. The pain was so intense, and it almost felt like my breath was being cut off.

“Uh…”

Even though I tried to stifle any sound, a moan escaped naturally due to the excruciating pain. Afraid of waking him up, I quickly covered my mouth.

I began to collect the scattered clothes on the floor underneath the bed, trying to escape the agonizing memories.

“This… What should I do?”

I held a torn piece of underwear in my hand. It seemed useless to put it on even if I tried.

Next was the dress.

The thin silk dress succumbed to his ruthless grip, bearing the consequences of his violence.

“Ugh…”

The pain from my feet through my legs to my waist was overwhelming. I couldn’t help but make painful noises.

“Uh…”

Desperately trying to suppress any sound, I turned around to see his still soundly sleeping face.

“What on earth…”

The pain in my waist was unbearable, making it difficult to breathe.

“Ugh… Uh…”

I moaned despite my efforts to stay silent, feeling the excruciating pain radiating from my feet up to my waist.

“Ah…”

The sound unintentionally escaped my lips as I struggled with the unbearable pain.

“W-what should I do…?”

I whispered to myself, feeling helpless in this vulnerable state.
