chapter 10

                                    

                                          





The glittering city lights in front of him are gorgeous, pretty, and shiny, but they all seem dull for some reason. At least the city is big enough to make his problems appear ten times smaller than they were before. 




It's been a month, away from his family, away from his home and.. away from him. 




A faint tap on the office door interrupted his thoughts as he put out his cigar on the ashtray on his office table and signaled his personal assistant to enter, phone in hand and professional demeanor. He bowed before extending the phone to him and saying, in a low voice: 




"It's Dr. Chun"





Informed his PA, and when Heeseung took the phone from his hand, he bowed again before leaving. His heartbeat was loud, and with the silence inside the office space, it practically rang in his ears until he placed the phone on his ear and began speaking, his voice monotone but his expression indicated otherwise. 




"Dr. Chun" 




He became anxious as soon as his own voice echoed loudly in the cold office space. He's nervous to say the least. 




"Mr.Lee, I phoned to let you know about Mr. Kim's monthly check-up results."





His heartbeat quickened, nearly hammering out of his chest.





"The baby bump hasn't shown up yet, and he had a visit this afternoon. His diet is excellent, and there haven't been any issues thus far. He mentioned that his mood swings are not too severe and that he has not yet felt any cramping."





When he was finally able to breathe, he leaned back in his chair and glanced back at the ashtray, which was now filled with the dull ashes of his previously smoked cigar. He closed his eyes for a short moment before opening them again as he spoke. 





"That's good to know. Please keep me informed and make use of all of your resources to help him with his pregnancy."






Even though their conversations were brief and to the point, he looked forward to it every month. He looked forward to the call from the doctor every month for the whole nine months to hear an update on his husband's condition. 





"Sir! Mr. Kim is in the labor room right now!"





He recalled holding his breath and gripping the phone tightly, having long since forgotten about the intense headache he was experiencing from over working and not getting enough sleep.





"J-Just- please just... "





His words died in his throat and his heart cleanched. 





" Don't worry Mr. Lee, I will try my best, I have to go now"





As soon as the phone ended, he immediately asked his PA to organize a personal flight back to Seoul as quickly as possible.





When he arrived at his husband's allocated room, his fingers were quivering, his breathing was ragged, and his eyes were watery. 





Inside, he was welcomed with the omega's sleeping face, and his son was sleeping in the cradle next to the bed, his hands were balled into two small fists and sometimes he would make grabby hands. He was so little, with pouty lips, flushed cheeks, and was wrapped in a baby blanket, making him look absolutely precious.
