Before My Withering [枯萎之前]

Chapter 8

[The more I try to catch the light, the more you can't pull away]

The next afternoon, I picked a time when Qi Shu couldn't be at home and went back to move my instrument and luggage back to my own house.

Then I fled back to school and hid from Qi Shu for a week.

On the seventh day, I found that it was a kind of torture to myself.

According to physical health class, an omega would be particularly dependent on its alpha during pregnancy.

Especially those with unstable health conditions like me needed the comfort of their alpha.

I had never longed so much for Qi Shu's pheromones, for his hugs and kisses, and even for the pain he'd make me feel.

I became extremely sensitive. As soon as I got close to another unfamiliar alpha, I would experience headache and nausea all day.

Xu Xingze noticed that something was wrong with me and wanted to drag me to the hospital everyday. I had no choice but to tell him about my pregnancy.

He was extremely angry. For the first time he had known me for a long time, he snapped and said in a loud voice that I was sick in the head.

"I think you just lived too comfortably that you have to find yourself a sin!" He was so angry that he pointed at me and said, "Do you know how deep the water is in the Qi family? Do you think they'd allow a beta to give birth to Qi Shu's child?"

"So you don't tell anyone." I wasn't afraid of Xu Xingze. I know he's soft hearted. "Please, Ah Xing."

"....."

Xu Xingze really still couldn't say heavier words. He sulked by himself for half a day and then said, "I'm too lazy to care about you."

I let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you."

As a result, I suddenly had a high fever in the middle of the night and became delirious. I still couldn't escape being sent to the hospital by Xu Xingze.

I couldn't remember the process very clearly. Vaguely, it seemed as if I heard him fight with someone on the phone.

When I woke up in the ward the next day, the first person I unexpectedly saw was Dr. Zhou.

He was still dressed in a suit and a white coat, and was sitting on the chair beside the bed flipping through the newspaper.

"You're awake." Dr. Zhou put down the newspaper and pushed his glasses. "I arrived at the hospital this morning just in time to see Ah Xing go through formalities at the front desk and realized it was you who was sick."

I had a severe headache, and my limbs were sore and powerless, as if I had been beaten in my dream. I felt uncomfortable all over.

Combined with a sluggish brain, it took me a long time to react to such a simple phrase.

"....You know Xu Xingze?" I asked.

"My mother and Mrs. Xu are close friends." Dr. Zhou said.

Oh... The social sircle of high society wasn't big so it wasn't surprising that they know each other.

Dr. Zhou poured me a glass of water, then leaned over and probed my forehead and said, "It's fine, the fever is gone."

His fingers were a bit cool. His touch made me feel a bit of resistance and discomfort, which made me react to the fact that he was also an alpha.

"You look worse than when we last met. What's the matter?" He asked.

I didn't want to always be seen in this bad light, but unfortunately, I probably wouldn't get better.
