Chapter 147 - 147: Wedding Night Gone Wrong
Seeing that someone was lying on the ground, fear that something happened to his wife terrified him.
"Wifey!" Nathan immediately went behind her and gently caressed her back.
He was about to take his phone to call for emergency when Kim Eunji stopped him.
"Don't. This is nothing. Believe me...this will pass." Kim Eunji told him in a weak voice.
"No, you're not okay. Someone had clearly attacked you!" Maybe because of panic and fear, Nathan yelled at her which the latter soon apologized.
"I'm fine. It's just that..." before she could even utter another word, Kim Eunji felt like throwing up again.
This was already a red flag for him.
This was why she didn't want Nathan to see this. She didn't want him to over react.
"Hubby...please...can you go out? You're not allowed to be here." Kim Eunji said as she stood up and flushed the toilet and then made her way towards the sink.
"How can I dare to leave you here when I don't even know what's going on?" Nathan felt helpless as he followed her.
"I have some clue of what's going on inside me right now. Trust me...there's nothing to panic about." Kim Eunji tried her best to calm him down.
Whatever was the drug added on her drink earlier sure made her very sick. At first, she thought it was aphrodisiac.
Well, those kinds of drugs had no effects on her.
Taking her phone, Kim Eunji dialed J's number and called it.
It didn't take for J on the other line to pick up the call.
"J...Your sister crossed the line, again." Kim Eunji didn't beat around the bush.
"I understand Eunji. I'll give the right to punish her to you. From now on, she's yours to handle." The man on the other line gave his decision.
Kim Eunji could feel that J was reluctant to hand Jin Li Rong over to her.
"Thank you J. Don't worry. She'll be fine. But J, you might be affected on what I'm about to do."
"Don't worry about me Eunji. I can handle myself."
As she received his permission, Kim Eunji hung up the call and turned her attention towards Nathan who was now having a dark expression on his face.
Whoever did this to his wife will pay.
"Who did this to you?" Nathan asked her.
"Someone who doesn't know how to read the lines." Kim Eunji sighed after she said that.
"Hubby...let me handle this, okay?" Kim Eunji didn't want Nathan to get involved.
"No! No one's allowed to bully you! Not in my watch!" Nathan promised to get into the bottom of this.
"And for damn sake! They hired an assailant to hurt you! I will never forgive whoever they are!" He added.
He then took his phone and call his men to look for any suspicious individual. He could not afford to make another assailant lurking in the crowd.
Kim Eunji looked at the teen still lying on the floor.
Good thing the toilet she chose to go was not the go to toilet of the students. Rumors had it that there were creepy things happening in this particular comfort room so no one dared to use this after hearing some stories of weird encounters.
"Tell Derek to bring her to your base. Remind him that this girl's dangerous. But he didn't have to worry as she'd be waking up tomorrow. Tell your men to not torture her. She's mine now." Kim Eunji said.
"You gotta be kidding me. You wanted to keep the person who was after your life?" Nathan asked her in disbelief.
"She deserves to live despite everything that she had done. I was lucky that my parents supported me when I decided to quit being a mercenary and leave the underworld. They let trusted people to guide me when I first came here. What about her?"
And now she's defending the poor girl.
"If you thinks she deserves to die...using your logic, I deserve to die, too." She argued.
"No! You and her are different!" Nathan could not believe what his wife was saying.
"I killed a lot of people. I'm just like her. Killing was my way of life." Kim Eunji argued.
"Was...it's in the past. You're no longer the same person." Nathan refuted.
"Then...let's give her the right to change. As I said...don't touch her. She's mine from now on." Kim Eunji didn't want to argue with him anymore so she decided to end it that way.
Nathan looked at his wife wondering what was going on in her mind.
But because he loved her so much, he decided to go with her wish.
"Fine! You win. But I'll make the people behind her to suffer than hell. Now...if we could please go to the infirmary so that Dr. Amanda could check on you. You looked sick wifey."
Sensing that Nathan was really troubled by her situation, Kim Eunji decided to agree with him.
Nathan immediately carry her and bring her to the infirmary.
They had to stop for some time as Kim Eunji wanted to puke.
Good thing that Dr. Amanda and Simon were still inside when they came in.
"Oh the newlyweds?! What the hell are you both doing here? Shouldn't you both heading to your honeymoon by now? Oh don't tell me you both get lost and decided to have it here instead." Dr. Simon was tipsy. Well, he had a couple of shots but not enough to make him wasted.
Dr. Amanda came to the rescue as she knew how her husband would be if he's drunk. He would not stop sprouting nonsense and he's afraid he would anger Nathan who was obviously not in the mood for that.
"Check on my wife. Someone let her drink something that made her like this." Nathan explained ignoring Dr. Simon who was sprouting something on the sideline.
"Sure...this way please."
Nathan entered into Dr. Amanda's consultation room and asked Nathan to let her sit on the bed.
She then took the sphygmomanometer to check on Kim Euji's blood pressure.
She also checked on her eyes and asked her to open her mouth and stick her tongue out.
Kim Eunji's blood pressure rose a bit. But it was still on the normal reading.
"Okay...I'll get some blood sample from you to know what's going on. If you're indeed drugged. We have to figure out what the drug was so we could counter the effects. Also we have to detoxify her system." Dr. Amanda said.
"Will she be okay? She's been puking since earlier." Nathan asked Dr. Amanda.
"Don't worry. She'll be fine. It's good that you bring her here immediately or she might be dehydrated."
Dr. Amanda left and came back with a syringe to extract her blood.
"This may take an hour to be done. So we'll know what's going on until then." She honestly told them while putting the IV drip on Kim Eunji's left hand.
"Don't worry wifey, you'll be fine. Everything will be fine." Nathan tried his best to comfort his wife. But it was more on comforting himself.
"Lol. That's what I am trying to say since day one. But you insisted on bringing me here." Kim Eunji refuted him.
"Can you blame me when I am only after you well-being? We should be heading to our honeymoon destination right now but here we are." Nathan was a bit upset with her this time.
Kim Eunji decided to stay quite as she didn't want to spark another argument with him.
Kim Eunji decided to close her eyes as she tried to self-diagnosed herself.
Feeling her pulse...her eyes widened in shock. Good thing Nathan had left for a while to use the toilet.
'It's still too early to tell.' Kim Eunji thought.
Nathan came back and sat beside her on the bed.
"Are you sleepy? If you are, can you lay beside me?" Kim Eunji said in a baby tone.
Seeing that Nathan's face looked haggard, Kim Eunji's heart ached for him.
"No. I'll wait for the result to come out." Nathan told her.
"Okay. It's up to you. But at least take a quick nap. I'll wake you up when she's here." Kim Eunji said.
"Okay." Nathan gave in to his wife's request. He then slowly lay down beside her and closed his eyes for a nap.
When Dr. Amanda came in, Nathan was already sound asleep.
Dr. Amanda was smiling from ear to ear when she came in holding the results in her hand.
"Not yet." Kim Eunji said which halted Dr. Amanda from opening the folder.
Kim Eunji then looked at the sleepy Nathan and sighed.
With her soft voice, Kim Eunji said, "Don't let Nathan know whatever was on that paper. Make another one."
What she said stunned Dr. Amanda.
"Aren't you going to let me read the results for you?" Dr. Amanda asked in confusion.
"I already knew the results. There's no need for you to read me that. Trust me...I'll inform him myself of what was really going on. I just need time."
Her statement confused Dr. Amanda even more.
"I'm your patient now. I believe that I can make such request from you doctor, can't I?" She added.
Having no choice, Dr. Amanda obeyed her request.
"Aren't you going to keep the original result?" She asked one more time.
"Keep it if you want. But don't let someone not even Dr. Simon to see that." Kim Eunji gave her last instruction.
When Nathan wake up, he immediately asked of what was the result of the test.
"She's fine. The patient was just overly exhausted that's why she's like that. Her blood showed traces of aphrodisiac. However to some unknown reason, her body reacted to that differently. Don't worry, I already gave her the pill that could stop its effects. She'll be fine." Dr. Amanda explained.
Well, she was not really lying when she said that to Nathan.
There were indeed and ample amount of aphrodisiac in her blood. However, to her surprise, Kim Eunji seemed to be unaffected by it.
"Hubby. I want to eat ice cream. Could you please go and grab one for me? Kim Eunji cutely asked him.
"But wifey, I guess there's no available open store at the moment."
"I don't care! Give me one! I'm hungry" Kim Eunji whined.
Seeing that she was indeed serious, Nathan had no other choice but to go and look for one.
"Poor Master Bai." Dr. Amanda mumbled as he watched Nathan's departing back.
"Well, let's say...It's a mock test for him. After all, I have this feeling that he would be doing things like this more, often very soon. As they said, practice makes perfect and fate brings us to our perfect match."
