WORTHLESS (BL)

Void In Memories

As soon as Jian Yu reached his room, he immediately plunged himself into his bed, not before locking the door of course. 

Momentarily forgetting his wound, he had directly put pressure on it, making him winced in pain. 

"Ah ah… Ouch..." 

He clasped his hand over the wound on his bicep, it wasn't any serious but it definitely sting. Lying on the king-sized bed, he turned onto his side and curled himself up. Recalling what the house doctor had said, he shivered slightly. 

["Huang Jian Yu, is it?" 

"Yes doctor," Jian Yu answered, he was nursing his bandaged arm. 

"Do you feel uncomfortable? Try clenching and unclenching your palm," the doctor instructed. 

Jian Yu clenched his fingers tightly then released them. Seeing it, the doctor nodded, flipping through the health records he had on Jian Yu. 

Jian Yu observed the doctor. 

If he recalled, this doctor was the house doctor of the Zero family, in charge of medical emergencies. He called himself Doctor Liam, no last name. 

He carried himself like an Alpha and called himself one, but Jian Yu couldn't smell that Alpha pheromones from him. Jian Yu assumed that it was because he was a doctor and didn't want to go off intimidating his patients. 

Wavy and untamed dark brown hair, tied in a low ponytail. He had high cheekbones and a clean shaved face. His body appeared lean under the white hospital coat he was wearing. 

A pair of round glasses sat on the bridge of his nose as his eyes roamed over Jian Yu's medical reports. He seemed to be in his thirties and… 

He looked… Scruffy. 

Jian Yu concluded. 

"Oh? You are a beta?" Doctor Liam mused. 

Jian Yu nodded. 

"That's quite rare," He hummed, his eyes glinted unknowingly and it sent shivers down Jian Yu's spine. "I don't see beta much often, pardon me for being curious."

Doctor Liam chuckled, his eyes scanned over the reports. "I notice you have a slight… gap in your medical reports," He started slowly, flipping the documents. 

He waited for a response but when he received none, he turned and glanced at Jian Yu who had his head down, all the while, keeping his mouth shut. 

"Oh well, please excuse my forwardness, everyone has their secrets. I beg your forgiveness." 

Smiling, he brought his hand down and patted Jian Yu's knee as if trying to comfort him. Startled, Jian Yu looked up, looking like a deer caught in the headlights. 

"Anyway," He drawled. "You got lucky this time, the bullet merely grazed your bicep. Had it strike a millimeter higher, it would damage your nerve and impair your motor control." 

Jian Yu gulped. What would have happened if it did hit? He might lose his only job.  

"Here, off you go," Doctor Liam said, handing Jian Yu a piece of wrapped candy. 

Unsure of what to do, Jian Yu accepted the candy. "Um… Thank you very much, doctor." 

He stood up abruptly from the stool he was sitting on and bowed slightly. 

"You are a bit underweight, be sure to have more sugar in your system. It's a bit sad that I just have a small candy with me today," Doctor Liam explained cheerfully. "I will come back in some days to check in on you and change the bandages. So make sure not to move so much or do extreme lifting so it can heal faster. Don't worry and get some more rest."
