h4Chapter 119: A CRUEL OPTION/h4

    "YOU ARE two weeks pregnant, Garam-ssi."

    Oh.

    Garam unconsciously touched his stomach after hearing Dr. Seong Kyungmin’s confirmation.

    It wasn’t like the doctor was an OB-GYN.

    But checking if an Omega was pregnant had be a part of the doctor’s job.

    "I see," Garam said weakly. "Thank you for telling me, Dr. Seong. Is the abdominal cramp I felt earlier due to my pregnancy?"

    The doctor nodded before proceeding with an exnation. "Your body is adjusting to the fetus growing in your womb, and that’s the reason you’re getting early pregnancy cramps. It’s normal. But if the cramps continue to persist and they get painful,e to me immediately."

    "Yes, Doc. I’ll remember that."

    Dr. Seong Kyungmin let out a sigh. "Can I speak as a hyung instead of a doctor, Garam-ssi?"

    "Go ahead, Doc. Only the two of us are here in your office anyway."

    Lee Wonjae and Mija were outside, waiting.

    iAppa said he wanted to give me privacy with my doctor./i

    "I should have given you a stronger dosage of birth control pills," Dr. Seong Kyungmin said, his voice full of regret. "Song Sihyuk is above Dominant Alphas. I should have known that he could still get you pregnant even if the two of you are both taking birth control pills."

    "Sihyuk Hyung has never taken birth control pills, Dr. Seong."

    "What?"

    "He lied to me. The ’pills’ that he has been taking ever since we started being intimate were just normal vitamins. Sihyuk Hyung wanted to get me pregnant from the beginning."

    Dr. Seong Kyungmin looked shocked at first, and then...

    "That scumbag..."

    The doctor cursed under his breath as stinky pheromones began oozing from his body.

    iDr. Seong is mad.../i

    Garam scrunched up his nose because the scent was making him feel sick.

    "Oh, I’m sorry," Dr. Seong Kyungmin said, and then he quickly toned down his pheromones. But even after the scent was almost gone, the doctor still stood up and opened the windows. "Is it better now, Garam-ssi?"

    "Yes, Doc. Thank you."

    Dr. Seong Kyungmin leaned against the windowsill, crossing his arms over his chest before asking in a serious tone: "Garam-ssi, can I ask a very personal question?"

    "Sure, Doc."

    "You don’t have to answer it, but did Song Sihyuk force himself on you?"

    "Oh, no. That didn’t happen," Garam said while shaking his head. "I got my heat cycle, and Sihyuk Hyung got his rut. So, we spent ten days in bed."

    iNo wonder I got pregnant easily./i

    "If you were in heat, then we can’t say that you’ve given your consent to Song Sihyuk 100%."

    Garam flinched.

    It was true, after all.

    iI don’t remember much of what happened, except for the knotting part./i

    Actually, Garam only realized that the part where Song Sihyuk grew bigger inside him was knotting after he found out that he was pregnant.

    iI learned that from the sex education I received when I manifested as an Omega./i

    "Garam-ssi."

    "Yes, Doc?"

    "Do you want to keep the baby?"

    "H-Huh?"

    "You’re only two weeks pregnant. You can still abort the baby. In fact, if you don’t want to keep it, now is the best time to do iit/i."

    Garam covered his mouth with his hands when he gasped. "Doc..."

    "Omegas who were vited by Alphas are allowed to have an abortion. The thing is, most Omegas find it hard to prove that they have been assaulted by Alphas," Dr. Seong Kyungmin exined. "But I can help you with that. I have a voice since I’m the best in my field. So, if you don’t want to keep the baby— please tell me immediately."

    Oh.

    THE MEDIA had been noisy these days.

    The reporters had a field day after Song Sangwook— Song Sihyuk’s uncle— was imprisoned due to bribery.

    But the criticism towards SG Group didn’tst long.

    After all, another controversy shook the country.

    strongi[’Hanmi Chem allegedly created illegal drugs made of Alphas’ pheromones intended to subdue Omegas...’]/i/strong

    The controversy didn’t end there.

    strongi[’It is revealed that Cho Dongpyo, an online celebrity known for his expensive lifestyle, turns out to be the youngest son of Chairman Cho Deoksu. Moreover, it is revealed that Cho Dongpyo is the mastermind behind the creation of the illegal drugs...’]/i/strong

    Song Sihyuk turned off the TV when the news station started showing Cho Dongpyo’s face while being arrested.

    Well, the bastard’s face was blurred.

    iEven so, I still don’t want to see it./i

    Haaah.

    iFinally./i

    Song Sihyuk leaned against the headrest of his fancy chair and closed his eyes.

    He was in his private office and only took a break to watch the news. After all, he wanted to see Cho Dongpyo and Hanmi Chem in that state— all thanks to him.

    Yes, it was him who ’leaked’ the news to the media.

    Song Sihyuk didn’t leak the miracle pills angle even though it would have caused a bigger controversy.

    He couldn’t do that because he was involved in that project.

    Hence, he chose a different issue to blow up.

    iCho Dongpyo won’t get imprisoned for long, and Hanmi Chem won’t bepletely destroyed because of this. But they will surely suffer a huge loss. Let that serve as a warning not to piss me off again./i

    "Sir?"

    Song Sihyuk opened his eyes. "What is it, Jung Han?"

    "We have received a report," Jung Han said politely. "Master Lee Wonjae-nim and Mija-nim apanied Lim Garam-nim to the hospital, sir."

    "What?!"

    iAppa didn’t tell me!/i

    Song Sihyuk grabbed his phone while Jung Han continued with his report.

    "ording to our spy, Lim Garam-nim had a private consultation with Dr. Seong Kyungmin."

    Tsk.

    "Send someone to the hospital. Ask them to find out what exactly my wife had discussed with Seong Kyungmin. That bastard is tight-lipped, so make sure to tell them to bribe one of Seong Kyungmin’s personal staff members instead."

    Jung Han bowed politely. "Yes, sir."

    After that, his secretary-sh-bodyguard left the office quietly.

    Song Sihyuk then called his Omega father because Lim Garam’s phone was still turned off.

    Of course, he was going to ask his Omega father about Lim Garam’s condition.

    But, even though he could do that, he still asked Jung Han to investigate.

    iAfter all, I have a feeling that Appa won’t be honest with me./i

    "Appa," Song Sihyuk greeted his Omega father, frustrated, when he finally picked up the call. "Is my wife alright? You promised to give me a report every hour."

    i"I promised to send you a report, but I didn’t say I’d do it hourly."/i

    "Appa."

    i"It seems like you already know that we went to the hospital. So, you nted an eye here, huh?"/i

    "Appa, just iplease/i answer my question. Is Lim Garam alright?"

    i"Yes, Lim Garam is fine. He just had pregnancy cramps. But Seong Kyungmin said it was normal."/i

    "It’s not Seong Kyungmin’s field of expertise. Why not bring my wife to an OB-GYN?"

    i"We trust Seong Kyungmin. Moreover, I’m also an Omega— an Omega who has given birth. I know that my son-inw isn’t in danger."/i

    "You’re not a doctor, Appa."

    i"I’ll take care of my son-inw well, so don’t worry too much."/i

    "Appa—"

    His Omega father had already ended the call.

    Tsk.

    Song Sihyuk let out a sigh, and then he flinched when a splitting headache hit him.

    iThese stupid headaches are starting toe frequently.../i

    "GARAM, you look tired. Go and take a rest first."

    "I’m fine, Appa," Garam said, and then he hesitated before asking: "Can we talk in private?"

    Lee Wonjae looked surprised, but he nodded. "Of course, dear."

    "Then I’ll go to my room," Mija said politely, bowing her head. "See youter, Uncle, Oppa."

    And then the kid shaman left quietly.

    Garam and Lee Wonjae decided to talk in the yard while having tea.

    "Appa..."

    "Yes, dear?"

    "Dr. Seong told me I could get an abortion if I want to."

    Lee Wonjae looked surprised, but it didn’t take long before he answered. "It’s your choice, dear. I’ll support whatever decision you make."

    "Are you sure about that, Appa?" Garam asked worriedly, cing a hand on his stomach. "This is your grandson."

    "Yes, but my son harmed you in order to conceive the baby. I don’t have the right to tell you to keep the baby, knowing what my son did to you, Garam-ah."

    "But the prophecy..."

    "Don’t worry about it, dear," Lee Wonjae said, smiling while gently rubbing Garam’s back. "I will protect you from the Song Family."

    Aww.

    Garam smiled and nodded. "I’ll think about this carefully, Appa."

    strong***/strong

    "SIR, ording to the person we sent to investigate, Lim Garam-nim was only there to get a pregnancy test and pregnancy cramps."

    Oh.

    Song Sihyuk was surprised that his Omega father didn’t lie to him.

    iI was so sure that Appa wouldn’t tell me the truth about my wife’s condition./i

    "But the person we bribed said something about a phone call that Seong Kyungmin-nim made after Lim Garam-nim left the hospital," Jung Han added nervously. "ording to this person, Seong Kyungmin-nim rarely makes a call to that doctor..."

    "Why would it be strange for Seong Kyungmin to make a call to a fellow doctor?"

    "Seong Kyungmin-nim reached out to Dr. Kim Jimin..."

    "And what?" Song Sihyuk asked, knitting his eyebrows in annoyance. "Get straight to the point, Jung Han."

    Jung Han gulped before he answered: "Apparently, Dr. Kim Jimin is known for performing abortions for Omegas..."

    Song Sihyuk’s eyes widened in shock. "What did you say?"

    iIs Lim Garam nning to get an abortion?!/i
