My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Rose woke up in enormous pain.

She could not understand why she would experience so much pain when she was very early into the pregnancy and the abortion was supposed to be painless.

An unfamiliar nurse came to check up on her and asked her a few questions regarding her health.

Those were routine questions and she came in later and injected painkillers into her IV bag.

Rose lost consciousness again and the last thought in her mind was that she had to go home in time, otherwise Lester would suspect her.

This repeated a few times and Rose completely lost track of time.

When she was finally cognizant, it was already three days later.

She was shaken at the realization. Lester would not let her be at this rate.

She hurriedly picked up her phone but it had been discharged. She saw several missed calls and texts from home after she charged the phone and turned it on.

Rose was a little disappointed to see that Lydia had not called or texted her even once.

The nurses came and checked her up. When she asked for the doctor, she was told that she was on personal leave.

Rose did not think too much of it given they were treating her quite well. She assumed that it might be because of her age, that the simple abortion was so painful and she had been unconscious.

But she was alarmed when the nurse described that she needed at least a few months of bed rest.

Rose was still feeling quite weak and dizzy, and she had not figured out what to tell at home, so decided to continue to rest.

When she woke up the next time, she felt slightly better than before. She was able to eat liquid food and use the washroom, but overall she still felt a lot of pain and was quite weak.

Later that night, Romeo sneaked inside her room which startled her.

He stopped her from screaming by pressing her mouth with his palm.

“It’s me. Don’t shout! We need to talk,” Romeo said.

The calmness and lack of sarcasm in his voice made Rose feel like they were back to the old days when they had trapped Lester.

She calmed down instantly, but she could tell something was wrong.

“What is it?” She asked.

“Don’t panic! What’s done is already done!” Romeo said.

That made Rose panic, instead of having the intended effect.

“Don’t beat around the bush! What’s going on?” Rose asked.

“That day when Lydia had gotten kidnapped, I could not shake the feeling that something was fishy. I followed you to the hospital and saw Lester when you were having surgery.” Romeo told her what he had seen.

“How could that be?” Rose panicked.

“It gets worse. I enquired later on since you were out for a long time. You were never pregnant. You just donated a kidney to a child.” Romeo informed her.

“What?” Rose exclaimed aloud and sat up straight. This abrupt action almost blinded her with immense pain.

Romeo held her down and rubbed her back until she stopped writhing in pain.

“Calm down! If you are this agitated, you will only ruin your body and you won’t be able to get revenge on Lester.” Romeo consoled her.

Rose’s anger spiked on hearing Lester’s name, but the prospect of revenge calmed her down, nonetheless.

When Rose’s pain subsided after a long time, she looked at Romeo again.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“Why would Lester take my kidney? This does not make any sense,” Rose could not understand where things went wrong.

Romeo muttered, “If I am not mistaken, he probably knows what we did. The kidney was donated to his Lawyer’s son. After the surgery, their entire family fled abroad. Lester must have come up with an arrangement with him.”

Rose gnashed her teeth. She could not believe that her years of hard work had been ruined.

Lester was ruthless.

“How is Lydia?” Rose asked.

“She is fine. I am keeping an eye on her and I have installed a tracking app on her phone,” Romeo assured her.

Despite all their wickedness and debauchery, they loved their daughter.

Rose heaved a sigh at his assurances.

“Why did you come back?” Rose asked seriously. That had been bugging her for a long time.

“Anne Petrova’s necklace that you gave to me was fake. I lost my business, my house caught on fire, my mistress ran off with my money, and I lost money in a poker game. I was broke and wanted to sell it, but it turned out to be a fake. I heard it was put up for auction by a woman anonymously and thought you had conned me.”

Romeo explained everything without mincing his words.

Rose was speechless.

Romeo continued, “I thought you were playing me, but when Lydia got kidnapped, I realized something was wrong.”

Rose wanted to shout at him, but she too had been trapped, and she did not want to fight with Romeo. They had bigger problems to solve.
