Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

Millie accused, her words heavy with both pain and suspicion.

Taking a deep breath, the sharp pain in her belly intensified. A deep concern knotted her thoughts as she couldn’t help but wonder whether the fall had jeopardized a life growing within her.

Shera, now exposed, wore an air of arrogance and disregarded Millie’s concerns with an icy disdain.

“You don’t wanna go now? No problem, then. I’ll lead the way, and I am not going to stop Marcus, unlike you, who feigns fragility after a tumble.

You’re nothing more than a rugged country girl, so stop putting on airs of delicacy?”

Shera’s words stoked a fierce anger within Millie, her entire being quivering with indignation. Shera’s previous falls paled in comparison to the danger Millie had just endured.

Shera had merely stumbled while walking, but what Millie had undergone was a fierce collision with the hard ground beneath when she was running. An obvious difference existed between the two experiences.

Nonetheless, Millie wasn’t willing to let Shera get away with it.

Her thoughts churned, and her shining black eyes darted about.

By this time, the sky was slowly beginning to brighten, casting its soft glow over the unfolding drama.

Amid the turmoil, Millie’s eyes caught sight of a vibrant green caterpillar perched on a nearby leaf. This creature was adorned with menacing spines, and a brush with its venomous sting promised excruciating pain.

Memories of a childhood encounter with such a caterpillar came rushing back to Millie, a vivid recollection of the searing agony it had inflicted.

“Wait, let’s go together,” Millie proposed, fighting through the pain and making a valiant effort to rise.

She discreetly concealed the leaf-bearing hand behind her back, in which she hid the caterpillar, and inched closer to Shera.

“Are you dropping the act?” Shera raised an eyebrow with scorn.

Before Shera could get a reply, an unexpected jolt of anguish shot through her hand, and she yanked it back with a sharp cry of pain.

Bewildered and hurt, she questioned, “God! What just happened?”

Millie responded with a triumphant smirk as she discarded the leaf, revealing the menacing caterpillar it harbored.

Shera, her anger and surprise mingled, accused, “You used this vile creature to sting me, Millie?”

“You know what?” Millie’s voice brimmed with a mix of satisfaction and vengeance. “It’s called karma. You just reaped what you sowed, Shera.”

Shera, her fury unabated, clenched her teeth and muttered in frustration, “Fuck you!”

She bowed her head once more, only to gasp in shock at the sight of her hand.

“My hand…”

Shera was taken aback by the sight of a sizable blister, larger than the caterpillar itself, marring the back of her hand. The swelling was a vivid shade of red, and the pain it emanated was akin to the

repeated prick of needles.
