Cyrysanthemum Garden (ABO desire)-Chapter 71 -:70

After the operation, Gao Qing no longer needed to stay in the hospital all year round, and only needed regular follow-up. That afternoon, Gao Tu accompanied her to the hospital for a follow-up checkup.

While Gao Qing was undergoing examination in the clinic, Gao Tu was waiting at the door with her cell phone and coat.

After turning fourteen, Gao Qing changed a lot, as if she had transformed from a timid little girl into a mature little adult overnight.

My sister has grown up.

Such thoughts made Gao Tu feel a complicated sense of relief, but before he could express more emotion, the phone in Gao Qing’s pocket suddenly vibrated, interrupting his sigh.

It was a phone number marked "Do Not Answer".

Gao Tu hesitated for a few seconds.

He recalled a recent social news story in which a female high school student had been in close contact with some idle people in society without the knowledge of her family, and eventually the girl disappeared.

However, the family, who always respected the child’s privacy, had no clue about the suspect due to insufficient information, and the investigation of the case entered a sluggish period.

Thinking of this, Gao Tu felt a chill down his spine as he looked at the three words "Don’t answer" on the screen.

He kept jumping between wanting to ensure Gao Qing’s safety, making sure Gao Qing didn’t make friends with the wrong people, and respecting Gao Qing’s privacy. In the end, Gao Tu gritted his teeth and decided to be a "bad brother" who sacrificed some of her privacy for the safety of his sister.

He slid gently to answer the call.

The good news is that the person on the other end of the phone wasn’t some strange gangster.

The bad news is, that’s brilliant.

"Gao Tu?" After recognizing Gao Tu’s voice, the caller suddenly raised his voice and asked fiercely, "Where the hell have you been? How come the previous number has become an invalid number?"

"Dad." Gao Tu took a deep breath and said nervously, "Sorry, I have something to do, so I cancelled my previous number." He asked Gao Ming cautiously, "What do you want from me?"

"Oh, nothing." Gao Ming said, "I can now pay you back the money you transferred to me two months ago. I was anxious to contact you, but I couldn’t get through, so I came to Qingqing to try my luck."

Gao Tu was stunned, almost suspecting that he was hallucinating: "Give me back the money...?"

This has never happened in all these years.

In the past, whenever Gao Ming came to him, it was never good news. And calling him to say he wanted to pay him back was the first time in history.

"No need." Gao Tu was relieved by Gao Ming’s rare relaxed attitude. He felt a little relieved and said softly, "If you have extra money, just keep it for yourself. Just don’t gamble anymore."

"Don’t worry." Gao Ming on the other end of the phone was in contrast to his usual irritability and rudeness. There was even a hearty smile in his voice: "I found a good job. I don’t have to worry about money in the future, and I won’t gamble anymore."

"That’s good." Gao Tu’s tense nerves relaxed. He thought for a moment and told Gao Ming, "Dad, I have something to do recently and there is a problem at work, so I may not be able to stay in Jianghu any longer."

"So where are you now?"

"Qingqing and I went back to our hometown."

"Oh." Gao Ming said, "Then it’s not far from Jianghu."

"Um."

"In fact, the development space in Jianghu is much larger than that in a small place like my hometown. You have studied so much, and only in Jianghu can you find a worthwhile job. What can you do when you return to your hometown? How are you going to make money to support your sister? Gaotu, have you thought about these?"

Gao Tu thought about these questions many times the night before he resigned.

But there was no answer.

Indeed, he had studied for so many years just to find a good job that could ensure the quality of life for his family, and such job opportunities were indeed only in Jianghu.

Gaotu once had a very enviable job, with a salary far exceeding the industry average.

Working with Shen Wenlang would indeed help him realize all his plans for financial compensation, but he really couldn’t do it anymore.

No matter how much money you give, it won’t work.

Gao Tu felt suffocated by continuing to stay with Shen Wenlang.

He felt extremely, extremely painful every minute he spent with Shen Wenlang.

Sometimes, while he was drinking tea, he would suddenly think of that night.

Thinking of the many kisses he had with Shen Wenlang that night, thinking of their irrational and fierce entanglement that night, thinking of the little life that was stolen, not expected, and not cherished, that was in his belly.

Every time this happened, Gao Tu would feel that he was despicable, greedy, and worthless.

In the past, Gao Tu only hoped that one day he would be treated equally and correctly as an Omega by Shen Wenlang.

Whether as a friend or as a colleague, as long as I don’t have to continue lying and can continue to stay with Shen Wenlang with my original identity, it will be good enough.

But now, he has become greedy.

This is really terrible.

Shen Wenlang turned Gao Tu from a despicable liar into a greedy thief.

He lied and was greedy, not only cheating Shen Wenlang out of a job opportunity, but also stealing the worst sex ever.

What’s even more frightening is that Gao Tu now even occasionally has uncontrollable fantasies that maybe one day, Shen Wenlang will be able to accept his love.

This made Gao Tu, who had calmed down, feel terrified as if he was in a horror movie.

He thought he might be suffering from hallucination or insanity.

But what really made Gaotu feel helpless and as if struck by lightning was yet to come.

The moment Gao Tu found out she was pregnant, her mind went blank.

The pheromone doctor sternly advised him to terminate the pregnancy immediately.

"As a patient with pheromone disorder, it is impossible for me to give birth alone without the cooperation of my partner! Mr. Gao, you can’t do this!"

The doctor is right.

After years of seeing patients, he knew a lot about Gaotu’s condition, and once thought that Gaotu had a partner who discriminated against Omega pheromones and hated Gaotu’s native smell.

"Out of responsibility for the patient’s life, I suggest you terminate the pregnancy immediately and give up the child."

"Is there no other way?" Gao Tu said with a pale face: "I heard that there are artificial soothing pheromones now, or I can try to use the pheromones of other Alphas with a higher matching degree-" "This is not very practical." The doctor looked at the Omgea in front of him with regret . Vomiting, loss of appetite, insomnia, and multiple tortures in recent days have made Gao Tu emaciated, and even the doctors who met him by chance found it hard to bear.

"That Alpha you like is such a scumbag."

"He’s not." Gao Tu quickly retorted, lowering his head and mumbling, "It’s my own fault."

"What’s wrong with you?" The older Omega doctor couldn’t bear to hear it any more. He slammed the medical record card on the table and said angrily, "No matter how many problems you have, you can’t get pregnant alone! Doesn’t that scum who hates Omegas but still enjoys getting people pregnant have any responsibility at all?"

Gaotu does not want to discuss with anyone who is responsible for the current situation.

It’s already this time. Instead of blaming others, we should sort out practical solutions and solve the problem quickly.

Gao Tu said, "Doctor, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I really want this child." After he finished speaking, he felt ashamed for telling others openly that he wanted to keep Shen Wenlang’s child. He lowered his head and was silent for a moment before continuing to ask with difficulty, "Why can’t I use other people’s soothing pheromones?"

The doctor sighed helplessly, "It is inherently more difficult for patients with pheromone disorders to get pregnant than ordinary Omegas. It is difficult to get through the pregnancy alone without the pheromone comfort of your own Alpha. You can see for yourself that your early pregnancy reaction is much more serious than that of most Omegas."

"Can’t artificial pheromones and pheromones from other Alphas relieve the symptoms?" Gao Tu asked.

"Artificial pheromones have very limited effects, and the pheromones of other Alphas—" The doctor paused, stared at Gao Tu, who had an innocent face, and said, "I think there is a great moral risk in using the pheromones of other Alphas to get through pregnancy!"

Gao Tu’s face suddenly turned even redder.

The doctor felt a little reluctant and told him: "Of course, if there are volunteers, pheromone extracts can also be used."

"Extract?"

"Well." The doctor sighed, "Current technology can separate pheromones from blood. However, your disorder is not mild, and the reaction during pregnancy will definitely be severe. The pheromones of other Alphas may not help you. If you don’t consider terminating the pregnancy, it will be difficult to safely get through the pregnancy even with the pheromones of other Alphas. So I advise you to give up as soon as possible."

"But what if we can fight for it?"

"What?"

Sitting in the pheromone department’s clinic, Gao Tu tried to communicate with the doctor several times to keep the child, and closed his eyes in embarrassment.

He didn’t even know how to describe Shen Wenlang, who had mistakenly created this child with him.

"The soothing pheromone of the child’s father." Gao Tu said, "If I can get the pheromone extract from the child’s father, I can save the child, right?"

At that time, Gao Tu still naively believed that Shen Wenlang was communicable.

He even ridiculously made a comprehensive plan, commissioning a lawyer to draft a series of legal documents including a property waiver, an inheritance waiver, and a parent-child severance agreement.

He tried his best to clear himself and prove his innocence. Gao Tu just wanted a child, not an adult.

But the reality once again slapped him in the face.

After a long period of psychological preparation, I finally mustered up the courage and convinced myself to discuss this topic with Shen Wenlang, but the only response I got was "Of course, abort it."

At that moment, Gao Tu was completely desperate.

Be it artificial pheromones or other Alphas. Even if he tried his best, he couldn’t save the child. Gao Tu didn’t want to ask Shen Wenlang for help again.

He didn’t want to say even one more word to Shen Wenlang.

Standing at the door of Gao Qing’s clinic, Gao Tu, lost in thought, stared blankly at a stain at his feet, not coming back to his senses for a long time.

Seeing that he remained silent, Gao Ming frowned impatiently, but his voice was still as calm as he tried to create, and he asked him, "If you give up your job and give up keeping Jiang Hu, what are you going to do in the future? Gao Tu, have you thought about it?"

His father’s voice brought Gao Tu back to his senses.

These realities that he had deliberately forgotten but was constantly reminded of were so heavy that he could not breathe. Gao Tu was like a bird with its wings pinched, flapping his wings, and even his breathing became heavy and rapid.

Finally, he whispered, "I don’t know."
