Reasonable Loss - 22

He could survive for almost a year just by taking medicine without food.

“I’ll give you just one suppressant for now.”

The doctor said, typing various things.

“Shouldn’t you give me more?”

Eunsoo asked curiously. The doctor shook her head sideways.

“No, you can’t. Come to the hospital regularly to get it. Don’t try to get it elsewhere, as pharmacies won’t give it without a prescription.”

“But it’s just a suppressant?”

Eunsoo tilted his head in confusion.

For omegas, suppressants are like water.

They take them daily for their entire lives.

But they only gave him one bottle.

And he couldn’t easily get more.

It’s not like it’s a drug.

“You’re pregnant. Suppressing naturally occurring pheromones is very bad for pregnant omegas.”

“Oh…”

“It’s best not to take them, but if you need to for daily life, you have no choice. So take a maximum of four pills a day, and no more. During heat cycles, pills won’t work, so visit again then.”

The doctor spoke firmly.

Eunsoo slowly chewed on his lip.

Four pills a day.

He repeated those words in his mind.

Eunsoo went straight home from the obstetrics clinic to rest.

Being at the clinic made him newly aware of the fact that he was pregnant.

Seeing people with big bellies tenderly rubbing them felt like a strong blow to the back of his head.

He needed to take care of his body.

Even if he was an omega created to get pregnant, he should do the basics.

Actually, it was to atone and reflect on the harsh words he had spoken.

‘If that’s the case, ah, if the baby disappeared… would it be okay?’

To say such a thing.

He must be crazy, absolutely crazy.

Eunsoo thought that if he had a child, feelings of wanting to do everything and sacrifice everything for that child would appear overnight.

But realizing you’re pregnant and paternal love blooming are slightly different issues.

Because of Dokwon’s sensitive nose, Eunsoo learned he was pregnant before any symptoms appeared.

Before he could fully realize and accept that fact, the accident happened, so there was no room for paternal love to sprout.

So the child in his belly didn’t feel that precious or dear.

He was still in a daze.

But what he said at the obstetrics clinic was clearly wrong.

He went too far.

There are things you can say and things you can’t.

Even if he wasn’t in his right mind, to say such a thing.

If Dokwon knew, that is, if the Dokwon who loved him knew, he would have been greatly disappointed and saddened.
