MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND, VOLUME 2 - Season 4 Episode 50

“We have to go to the hospital now!” John insisted on taking his wife to the hospital.

Nina grew anxious and said, “Go on! Send me there! Tomorrow, the headlines will be filled with nothing but our scandal. ‘Mr. Shi rushed to the hospital in the middle of the night with his wife. Was he so violent that he hurt his wife?'”

“What?” John glanced at her with a puzzled look.

With her arms wrapped around his neck, Nina looked at his face from the side, and her eyes seemed to dare him that if he was not afraid of being teased by the media, then he could take her to the hospital.

The two of them locked eyes for a moment until John decided to turn around and head back to the bedroom. He picked up the tumbled nightgown on the floor and carefully dressed her from her toes to her shoulders. His movements were cautious as he was afraid of touching her finger.

After clothing Nina, John stood up and snatched the first aid kit.

Nina sat on the sofa near the window as she managed to pull out the needle and wrapped the wound with some tissue paper.

“I did it!” Nina was enthusiastic as she raised her finger, and the white tissue was stained with her fresh crimson blood.

Apparently, she was doing just fine.

John was filled with heartache when he saw her wound. He caressed her hand and heaved a big sigh of relief. He quickly cleaned her lesion with some rubbing alcohol and covered it with a Band-Aid.

Nina gazed at the Band-Aid around her fingertip as it crowded her print but failed to sleeve the prick. She was dumbstruck by his failed succor.

“It’s just a tiny puncture. Are you sure we need a Band-Aid?” Nina asked in a low voice.

“Of course.” John glanced at her as he ordered her to do as he said without any contention.

‘At least place it on my wound,’ Nina thought.

Although her mind was speaking of something different, she obediently said, “Alright.”

“Now, let continue what we were doing.” Nina perched on the bed and pounced on top of his hips. Her long and fair legs tightly swathed around his waist as she leaned over to press her lips against his.
John held her body in his arms and glared at his little girl above him. She looked reassuringly unharmed, but his expression was still gloomy and fearing.
No matter how soft and plump Nina’s lips were, it wasn’t enough to make him go soft on her.

“Where did the needle come from?” John finally knew what she had hidden under the pillow.

A pointy needle.

It was a pin for sewing clothes,

and Helen was the only person who could have had possession of such paraphernalia in the North Yard.

“Some punishment is a must,” said John in a menacing tone.

“Do as you want.” Nina nodded as she embraced her consequence. She was willing to go through anything as long as he wouldn’t ask why she had it in the first place.

John said in a growl, “Deduct a month’s worth of salary from Helen.”

“Okay. Wait. What?” Nina had come to her senses and was startled by his decree. “Why are you punishing Helen? I got pricked by accident!”

“She shouldn’t have given you such a dangerous object.” The thought of Nina being hurt was something John couldn’t bear.

He could get hurt by a myriad of needles, but he would never allow a single hostile hair to touch his wife.

“I’m the one who asked for it, she has nothing to do with this.” Nina knew that John would never penalize her for her mischief. He would only discipline the person who failed to look after her or caused her trouble.

If she ended up causing Helen her monthly pay, it would be an unforgivable offense.

“Helen didn’t want to give it to me in the first place! She was afraid that I might hurt myself. I insisted on it and begged persistently until she gave up to my annoying plea.” Their faces were only a breath away as their noses touched playfully. Nina fiddled the tip of her muzzle in his and changed her demeanor. She acted as if she was a spoiled girl who was begging for candy.

“I’m so sorry, Honey! I’m sorry! I won’t touch a needle again from now on. Please don’t drag Helen into this, okay?”
His little girl feated like a stubborn child while she appealed to his mercy.

John couldn’t help but give in.

Under her coquettish act, John agreed to not blame Helen.

But he figured that he could at least settle for an explanation, so he asked, “Why were you even hiding a needle under your pillow?”

“Well…I…” Nina couldn’t construct a reasonable excuse.

With her pointless mumbling, John realized that he would only hear some nonsense from her. He just sighed and said, “You know, you are allowed to do anything you want, but please don’t hurt yourself.”

“It was an accident!” Nina had been in a hurry to hide the needle; she never expected the series of unfortunate events. “It’s just a tiny cut. I won’t die from this.”

“Take that back.” John grunted as his voice became numbing.

He would never let these words surface again from her mouth in their lifetime.

Nina had no idea what he meant. She was dumbfounded and said, “Isn’t this what you used to say to me? If something bad happened to me, you’d just say that it won’t kill me.”

Nina echoed his tone as she spoke, but John was quick to pinch her chin and seal her mouth.

What he said in the past was a mistake.
A moment of silence later, John sat down on the edge of the bed with Nina bolstered in his arms. He asked, “Were you planning to stab me with the needle?”

“No! That’s impossible.” Nina immediately denied. How could she afford to hurt her husband?

“Then why was it there?” asked John.

“It was for pricking things!” Nina eagerly tried to suppress the truth. “And you’re not a thing!

Why would I prick you?”

John puzzled whether he should laugh or cry. He persistently asked, “Then what did you want to prick?”

“Er…” Nina was silent for a while until she pointed at the condom that popped out under the pillow.

John turned to the direction of her gesture and saw the condom clearly. He was astounded and gazed at Nina with a complicated expression on his face.

John’s piercing eyes made Nina blush a rosy glow. She confessed, “I just feel that Chester is lonely because he has no one to play with, so I…”

“Come here.” John sealed her mouth with a hard kiss.

Nina was about to close her eyes to the arousing moment, but John let go of her lips and pressed his forehead against hers.

His lashes flattered faintly as his voice trembled.

“Thank you, honey!”

If they had a child, they would finally be complete.

John knew that Nina must have echoed his thoughts, so she plucked up the courage to puncture the condoms.

She was just unfortunate that she got herself hurt by accident.

John felt sorry for her, but somehow he found the incident ridiculous. His little girl was just adorable at times.

If Nina had made up her mind to finally bear a child, she could have just told him. It would spare him the extra step if ever the heat went ablaze in between the sheets.

She was too shy to communicate with him that she went through all the trouble to sabotage the contraceptive.

What a fool!

“But I’m not doing it for you, I’m doing it for Chester.” Nina rolled her eyes. “You flatter yourself too much.”

John smiled and said, “Well, I feel admired.”

“Come on, it’s time to go to bed.” Nina tapped his shoulder and stood up from his encapsulating arms.

John was swift to stop her as he grabbed her arm and asked, “Shouldn’t we continue our moment?”

“I’m injured, remember?” Nina raised her finger deliberately in front of his face for him to see clearly. She lifted the quilt and tucked herself in before closing her eyes to sleep.

“I’m injured, remember?” Nina raised her finger deliberately in front of his face for him to see clearly. She lifted the quilt and tucked herself in before closing her eyes to sleep.

John grinned at her and went to the bathroom again.

He had an electrifying reaction in between his legs the moment she pounced on top of him.

The two of them cuddled through the night and fell asleep.

When Nina opened her eyes the next morning, she found that she was buried against John’s brawny chest.

She stretched her hand and thumped the bridge of John’s nose with her pointy elbow.

“Ouch! Honey, you’re so sweet that you wake me up in the special way possible.” John was pounded to his consciousness as he woke up to the morning sunshine. His voice was hoarse as he squinted his blurry eyes to clarity.

His slender fingers slithered across Nina’s palm as they interlocked with her fingers.

He said, “Honey, morning exercise?”
