The World Thinks I’m Terminally Ill Episode 001

Prologue. Surviving in a World of Massive Misunderstandings

Contract marriage.

A term meaning an emotionless marriage formed solely for mutual benefit.

It was a deal I proposed, and we were both satisfied with the outcome.

So we planned to live well as a show-window couple who wouldn’t interfere with each other.

Until a transparent tear dropped from the eyes of my husband Shubel, who had been nothing more than a handsome statue.

“…Because you have a lover.”

What is he talking about.

“We’re only in a contract marriage relationship, and you sacrificed yourself for the Family despite having a lover…”

“What? A lover, what do you mean-“

“You don’t need to deny it. I know it was before our marriage. Still, I feel a little jealous…”

Shubel spoke with a guilt-ridden expression.

“My lady struggles to save the Family even with your ailing body, yet I’m feeling such sinful emotions.”

I stared at Shubel, who was having a massive misunderstanding all by himself, with dead fish eyes.

‘So the only man in my life who could even be called a lover is you, and that damn terminal illness is all a misunderstanding.’

Nothing from one to ten was correct.

I don’t know where that talk about a lover came from, so I’ll let that slide for now.

I’m not terminally ill.

I just cough up blood occasionally as the price for changing the original story.

I tried to explain that fact somehow, hiding only the original story content and clarifying several times that there was nothing wrong with my body.

“How much pain must you be in right now for your eyes to lack vitality.”

“…I was just spacing out.”

“You don’t need to hide it like that in front of me.”

It didn’t work at all.

I’m the one saying it’s not true, so why are you denying it!

“No, please don’t hide it, my lady…”

I was flustered seeing him smile sadly.

“Ah, no wait… don’t cry.”

“I’m sorry, Elisia. Originally I planned to let you go once your body recovered. I was thinking of divorce…”

He desperately grasped the back of my hand while tears streamed down his beautiful face.

Shubel raised his head.

“I don’t think I can do it.”

I keep wanting you.

I looked at my husband who had somehow awakened as an obsessive man and thought.

I’m screwed.
