CHAPTER 188: UNFORGIVING

"GRANDPA, where did Dad and Daddy go?"

"Your dad and daddy went home to grab a few things," Lee Wonjae explained to his grandson. "They’ll be back soon."

It wasn’t a lie.

After all, Lim Garam and Song Sihyuk really needed to pack more of Gunwoo’s things because his grandson’s stay at the hospital got extended.

Since my grandson has physically recovered now, it’s time for his counselling.

Gunwoo must have been traumatized after he was kidnapped.

Hence, the need for counselling.

"Do you not want to play with me, Gunwoo-ya?" Lee Wonjae asked his grandson teasingly. "Are you tired of playing with me now?"

"No, that’s not true, Grandpa," Gunwoo said while shaking his head. "I just miss Dad and Daddy. They weren’t here when I woke up."

"Don’t worry, sweetie. Your parents will be here soon. Should we watch your favorite cartoon while waiting?"

"I wanna watch Grandpa’s golf videos!"

Aigoo.

Lee Wonjae was glad that Gunwoo was taking great interest in golf.

But my husband is worried that our grandson might be more interested in becoming a professional golf player instead of inheriting the company in the future.

If that happened, even Song Sihyuk would be upset.

But Lee Wonjae didn’t really care about that.

My grandson’s happiness is more important than what my husband and son want for Gunwoo. I’m sure my precious son-in-law would agree.

"Grandpa, can I have some tangerines?"

"Sure, sweetheart," Lee Wonjae said. "Let me peel some for you."

After peeling a tangerine, he handed it to his grandson.

Gunwoo happily took it, but the child’s smile disappeared almost immediately. "Grandpa, I can’t smell it."

Lee Wonjae felt a pang in his heart.

I know Lim Garam already explained it to Gunwoo. But that doesn’t mean my grandson would magically adapt just because he knows his condition.

"Sweetie, as your dad and daddy have already explained, you’ve lost your sense of smell," Lee Wonjae said carefully. "But we’re going to do everything to help you get better. That’s the reason why you’re going to therapy later."

"Will I get better, Grandpa? I wanna smell everything again..."

Aigoo.

Once again, Lee Wonjae’s heart broke.

At the same time, anger rose in his chest once again.

I hope Lim Garam and Sihyuk punish the bastard who did this to my grandson properly.

"Sweetie, trust us— we’ll do everything to help you get better," Lee Wonjae said gently. "And, speaking of that, are you ready to start your counselling? I’ll introduce you to doctors who’ll help you, Gunwoo-ya."

Thankfully, his grandson wasn’t opposed to it.

My son-in-law is good at explaining things to Gunwoo, and Gunwoo listens well to Lim Garam.

Hence, Lee Wonjae was confident that everything would be alright.

When the child counselor and the child psychologist arrived in the room, he got up and started to greet them.

However...

"G-Grandpa..."

Hmm?

Lee Wonjae turned to his grandson and was surprised when he saw the child clutching his chest tight.

It was obvious that Gunwoo couldn’t breathe.

Worse, his grandson was trembling as if he were scared.

"Sweetie, what’s wrong?" Lee Wonjae asked worriedly, holding Gunwoo by the shoulders gently. "Are you in pain? Does your chest hurt?"

"B-bad doctor..." Gunwoo said, pointing a shaking finger at the doctor wearing a face mask. "H-He’ll hurt me again, Grandpa..."

***

"NO, I won’t lend you my gun, Lim Garam," Song Sihyuk said sternly. "You don’t even know how to use it. What if you get hurt?"

Yes, despite their country’s strict gun control laws, he still owned a few.

And he always carried one with him.

"Hyung, I know your gun has a lock or whatever it’s called," Lim Garam said, pouting. His Omega wife was probably throwing a tantrum to get what he wanted from Song Sihyuk. "Since it has a lock, I won’t accidentally pull the trigger."

Aigooya.

To be honest, Song Sihyuk was about to give in already.

His wife was right anyway.

I never locked my guns in the past. But now that I have a wife and a son, so I have to be extra careful.

"Hyung, that bastard won’t die if I hit him with your gun, right?"

Aigooya.

Song Sihyuk covered his mouth with his hand to hide his grin.

He knew the situation was serious, but he couldn’t help but find his wife cute.

"Hyung, your phone is ringing."

Oh.

Song Sihyuk almost didn’t notice because he was too busy admiring his wife.

But he wasn’t in the mood to talk to anyone, so he only checked the caller. His plan was to turn off his phone. However...

"It’s Appa."

"Answer it," Lim Garam said in a demanding voice. "Quick. It must be important."

Song Sihyuk nodded before picking up the call. "Yes, Appa..."

His brows furrowed the more he listened to his Omega father.

He didn’t need a mirror to know that his face had darkened.

Moreover, he could smell his own stinky pheromones.

"Hyung, what’s wrong?" Lim Garam asked worriedly. "What did Appa say?"

Song Sihyuk quickly pulled his gun out from the inside of his waistband and handed it to Lim Garam. "Do your worst, Garam-ah."

***

"DEAR, our Gunwoo had a panic attack when he saw a doctor wearing a face mask. Apparently, that was how he remembered the doctor who kidnapped him. According to the psychologist, it’s a sign of PTSD. They can’t examine Gunwoo further because we’re still waiting for him to calm down. For now, I asked everyone to stop wearing a face mask around the child."

Garam’s heart broke after having that phone call from his Omega father-in-law.

Of course, he had already expected that Gunwoo would be traumatized.

My son has a strong mindset, but he’s still a child.

"Hyung, unlock the gun."

To be honest, Garam expected Song Sihyuk to firmly reject his request.

But, to his surprise, the Alpha unlocked the gun without a word.

Oh.

Hyung is mad mad.

"Be careful, Garam-ah," Song Sihyuk said while handing the gun to Garam. "But don’t pull the trigger— I’ll shoot the bastard for you."

Of course, Garam didn’t listen— he ended up pulling the trigger.
