Secretly Married to a Chaebol Alpha novel Chapter 161

Chapter 161: REMORSE

GARAM actually felt better after drinking the tea that Mija had brewed for him.

However, that feeling didn’t last long.

My stomach feels funny.

No, it was actually starting to feel painful.

Moreover, his throat was itchy.

I can’t see myself right now, but I won’t be surprised if I look as pale as a ghost.

"Junho Hyung, can you bring the kids outside?" Garam asked weakly. "There’s a playroom on this floor that the kids can use. Geon Hyung, please help Junho Hyung look after the children in the meantime."

Shin Junho, who probably saw how pale Garam was, immediately understood without asking questions.

Fortunately, that was the same case for Shin Geon and Mija.

"But I don’t want to play in the playroom," Gunwoo complained when Shin Geon suddenly grabbed him. "I want to stay here with Dad."

"Jina wants to play in the playroom," Shin Junho said, smiling while carrying Jina in his arms. "You promised to do whatever she wants, right?"

"Jinna wants to go to the playroom, Oppa-ya," Jina said, still talking cutely. "Let’s go, Oppa-ya."

Luckily, that was enough for Gunwoo to get distracted. "Okay, this Oppa will play with you, Jinna-ya!"

After that, Gunwoo waved to Garam.

Ah, I’m glad my son is fond of Jinna.

"Bye-bye, Gunwoo-ya," Garam said while waving at his son. "See you later."

Just like that, Shin Geon and Shin Junho had left with the children.

One kid remained by Garam’s side, though.

"I’m calling Uncle Wonjae," Mija said, already holding the phone in her hand. "You look really sick, Oppa."

I know, right?

Garam tried to joke, but then he tasted it.

Blood...?

He suddenly coughed up a huge chunk of blood, scaring Mija who suddenly shrieked.

"Oppa!"

Oh.

Garam was then hit by the realization— the realization that not even Mija, the kid shaman, knew what was happening to him.

That was his last thought before everything turned black.

I wonder if I’ll still wake up after this?

"APPA, ABEOJI, you don’t have to be here for me," Song Sihyuk complaind. "Why did you leave my wife and my son on their own? At least one of you should have stayed with them. It’s not like I’m severely hurt."

It was pretty embarrassing that his parents were still taking care of him at his big age.

But it wasn’t the reason that he was complaining about their presence.

Of course, I’m glad that Appa and Abeoji are here for me.

However, like he said earlier, at least one of his parents should have stayed with Lim Garam and Gunwoo.

"Shin Geon and Shin Junho are there to keep an eye on Garam and the children," his Omega father assured Song Sihyuk, crossing his arms over his chest. "Is it wrong to want to see how my one and only son is doing?"

"Now you’ve seen me, Appa," Song Sihyuk said, sighing. "Please go and stay by my wife’s side. Lim Garam’s condition is worse than mine."

He wanted to see Lim Garam, of course.

But Song Sihyuk was holding back because Gunwoo was there, too. He didn’t want his son to see that he was hurt.

I’ll ask the doctor later if they can remove the bandage on my head.

"What did Seong Jungho need to talk to you about earlier?" his Alpha father asked curiously. "It looked pretty serious."

It was serious, alright.

After all, Seong Jungho gave Song Sihyuk two options— to let Lim Garam return to being a Beta, or let Lim Garam stay an Omega.

If it’s the latter, then my wife has to deal with Hailey Syndrome forever.

But, like what Seong Jungho said, it wasn’t up to Song Sihyuk to decide.

Uncle Jungho wants me to tell Lim Garam the truth about his condition, but I’m not yet ready.

Anyway, Song Sihyuk kept his mouth shut because he didn’t want his parents to know.

Not yet, at least.

"Wha’s wrong, son?" his Alpha father asked worriedly. "It’s unlike you to stay quiet like this. Something must have happened?"

"Just spill it, son," his Omega father said, obviously frustrated. "You know it’s not right to keep more secrets, especially from Lim Garam. Do you want him to hate you more than he already does..."

His Omega father suddenly trailed off, and then he pulled his phone out from the pockets of his trousers.

"Ah, it’s Mija."

Both Song Sihyuk and his Alpha father listened closely when his Omega father picked up the call from the kid shaman.

After all, it’s rare for Mija to reach out first.

"What?! Lim Garam coughed up blood and fainted?!"

After hearing that, Song Sihyuk immediately tore off the IV drip attached to his arm.

Of course, he got hurt and bled right away.

"Sihyuk-ah!" his Alpha father, shocked by what Song Sihyuk did, scolded him. "What are you doing— hey, where are you going, son?!"

Of course, Song Sihyuk didn’t respond to his parents, who called him desperately.

To be honest, he was feeling a little weaker than usual earlier.

However, he miraculously recovered after hearing that his wife had coughed up blood and fainted.

Wait for me, Garam-ah.

I can’t lose my wife!

***

After all, I can’t control my pheromones yet. It might affect Lim Garam’s pheromones, so I didn’t insist on going there.

I regret it— I regret turning Lim Garam into an Omega.
