Last Love chapter 110
Han Jiangque was also a bit anxious.
When they were in the car, his arm tightly encircled Wen Ke. It looked more like he was cradling him in his arms than just holding him.
“Is it still hurting a lot?” he asked in a low voice. “Xiao Ke?”
Wen Ke shook his head. He didn’t have much strength, so he rested his chin on Han Jiangque’s shoulder.
It had been a long time since he was this close to Han Jiangque. If it weren’t for Jiang Chao’s presence, he would really want to share some intimate whispers with Han Jiangque.
Actually, his stomach still hurt, but as soon as Han Jiangque held him, his stomach didn’t feel as restless as before. It was as if the two little guys inside, who usually tossed and turned, knew their other dad had arrived, and they became more obedient all of a sudden.
Jiang Chao drove fast, and in less than ten minutes, they reached the nearest hospital. Then, quickly, they got Wen Ke admitted to the emergency obstetrics department.
But just as they were about to go in for an examination, Wen Ke suddenly received a call from Xu Jiale. He didn’t say much, but his face turned pale, and he looked at Han Jiangque in panic.
“Xu Jiale said that something urgent came up for Fu Xiaoyu and him. They can’t continue overseeing the event at B University…”
“What should we do?”
Han Jiangque’s expression tightened instantly. “Why do they both have urgent matters? What happened?”
“He said it urgently and vaguely, as if he needed to help Fu Xiaoyu. But he told me not to worry about their side.”
Wen Ke felt nervous, and his stomach seemed to cramp again. He had to catch his breath and continued, “Xu Jiale arranged for Wang Jinglin to take over the next two hours. He is responsible for app architecture and can guide the students in downloading and familiarizing themselves with the app. Then, he can organize them to try the matching system in the auditorium. However, letting him handle the follow-up work is a bit forced. This part has always been my preparation, and Fu Xiaoyu also knows a little. Now, I…”
“Let’s get you checked first.”
Han Jiangque sensed Wen Ke’s anxious thoughts and interrupted him, worriedly saying, “Xiao Ke, no matter what, you first.”
Wen Ke took a deep breath and finally said, “Okay.”
His mind was filled with thoughts about B University’s event, but he forced himself to calm down, nodding at Han Jiangque. He knew he had to ensure the safety of both the babies and himself.
Han Jiangque was also worried. While hugging Wen Ke into the consultation room, he waited for the doctor to arrive, and at the same time, he called Fu Xiaoyu.
However, after several attempts, there was no answer on the other end. Frustrated, he even called Xu Jiale, but with the same result.
Han Jiangque’s eyebrows furrowed. He was not only concerned about Wen Ke’s event, but also worried about Fu Xiaoyu, making him even more restless.
The doctor arrived quickly, asked a few questions about Wen Ke’s condition, and then conducted a brief examination.
“Doctor, is he okay?”
Han Jiangque quickly asked.
“Nothing serious, just abdominal pain caused by a disturbance in pheromones. The Omega is fine, and the babies are also fine.”
The doctor shook his head, sat back at his desk, and checked Wen Ke’s records on the computer. He explained, “It’s probably because his physiological constitution for D-level pheromones is a bit inferior, coupled with being pregnant with twins. It seems he needs more support from Alpha than other Omegas. But before, I saw that Mr. Wen’s condition was very good, and the babies had always been healthy. Is there any recent change?”
The doctor’s tone was calm; it seemed the situation wasn’t too serious. He continued, “are you, his Alpha not around frequently recently?”
Wen Ke was initially holding his stomach, but when he heard this question, he couldn’t help but look up at Han Jiangque. He was worried that he would feel guilty because of the doctor’s words.
And Han Jiangque’s face suddenly turned pale. Muttering, he said, “I… I haven’t been around him much lately. It’s my fault.”
“Is it because of busy work?”
The doctor didn’t blame him, patiently saying, “It’s perfectly normal for couples to be separated for a few days occasionally. Usually, it’s not a big deal. But you should try to spend more time with him. In Mr. Wen’s case, there are too many factors contributing to it. His mood and mental state are also essential considerations. Don’t worry; it’s nothing serious. I’ll give him two light stabilizers. It’s more like a nutrient solution and won’t affect the babies. Mr. Wen can receive an intravenous drip for a while in the hospital, and with more rest, he’ll be fine.”
The doctor’s words immediately relieved Wen Ke, who had been very nervous. Actually, what he was most worried about was the babies.
Moreover, he could clearly feel that whenever Han Jiangque stayed by his side, even just holding him like this, surrounded by that familiar, rich whiskey pheromone, his stomach didn’t ache as much.
“Doctor, I… I have a speech scheduled in two hours for an event. Do you think… can I still go?”
As soon as Wen Ke said this, he immediately felt the unhappy gaze of the Alpha next to him. He knew Han Jiangque must be displeased, but he couldn’t help but ask, despite the brave front.
“Is it essential?”
The doctor paused for a moment, realizing that the matter this somewhat haggard Omega insisted on asking about was certainly not trivial.
After contemplating for a moment, he said, “How about this, start with the IV drip. It takes about an hour for the IV drip. If your stomach feels better afterward, you can go and participate. The speech shouldn’t take too long, right?”
“No.” Wen Ke immediately felt relieved and shook his head. “At most, it’s just half an hour.”
“Then it should be fine.” The doctor nodded after hearing this and added, “You must pay attention to how your body feels; don’t force yourself too much. Let me arrange for a nurse to take you for the IV drip.”
Wen Ke soon had an IV drip set up. The hospital was warm due to the heating, so he took off his coat and placed it aside, allowing him to snuggle more intimately into Han Jiangque’s arms.
He had hardly slept last night, and the speech at B University was completely powered by sheer determination. Now that he had relaxed a bit, his eyelids became very heavy.
“Han Xiaoque…”
Wen Ke mumbled.
“I’m here.”
Han Jiangque spoke softly.
“Don’t blame yourself.” Exhausted, with his head tucked on Han Jiangque’s shoulder, Wen Ke whispered, “It’s because I was too excited about today’s event yesterday and couldn’t sleep well, making me feel uncomfortable.”
Han Jiangque remained silent for a moment, then finally said in a hoarse voice, “Xiao Ke, I’ll be with you tonight when I get home.”
Wen Ke didn’t respond, his long eyelashes resting on his eyelids, breathing steady. He seemed to have fallen asleep quickly.
Han Jiangque lowered his head, looking at the back of Wen Ke’s hand with the IV needle.
Wen Ke’s hands were always beautiful, with fair skin and faint blue veins. Han Jiangque looked at them in a daze for a while, then gently cradled Wen Ke’s hand with his palm, warm.
Wen Ke’s care for him, in a sense, surpassed mere love. If one had to use a strange but fitting term to describe it, it was maternal. There was no second Omega in the world who could be so accommodating.
However, it was also the same Wen Ke who firmly refused his two most intense requests.
So, occasionally, he would be confused. Sometimes he wondered, if Wen Ke loved him so much, why wouldn’t he give up that last principle for him? Sometimes, he would hate himself. Why couldn’t he compromise like Wen Ke, was he too naive?
Caught between two extreme thoughts, he couldn’t find his way.
He didn’t know whether the contradictory pain he felt at this moment was because he didn’t understand himself or because he didn’t understand Wen Ke.
…
Wen Ke slept soundly, not even flinching when the nurse came to remove the needle.
Han Jiangque hugged him and kept track of the time. When it was time to drive back to B University, he shook him awake and asked, “Xiao Ke, are you still going to make the closing speech?”
“Yes.” Wen Ke woke up suddenly. His eye circles were still a bit blue, and he seemed groggy.
But he immediately realized the situation, looked at the time, hurriedly stood up, dressing while asking, “Han Xiaoque, did Jiang Chao go back?”
“I asked Jiang Chao to go rest first.”
Actually, Han Jiangque didn’t want Wen Ke to continue working like this, but he knew he probably couldn’t persuade him. So, he straightforwardly said in a low voice, “I’ll drive you to B University myself, and then I’ll accompany you in the auditorium to finish the work.”
Wen Ke’s movements paused for a moment upon hearing this.
When he looked up again, his eyes curved slightly with joy. “Okay.”
Back at B University’s auditorium, neither Wen Ke nor Han Jiangque expected the scene to be so lively.
Wang Jinglin seemed to have little left to do. The students were all excitedly interacting with each other, holding their phones, either filling in their interests and experiences or discussing test results.
Han Jiangque, like Fu Xiaoyu, sat in the front row, his appearance and pheromones undoubtedly the focus of the crowd. As soon as he sat down, the media around him looked at him with some curiosity.
Wen Ke went to the front of the auditorium and asked Wang Jinglin in a low voice, “How is it?”
“Very good.”
Even the usually reserved Wang Jinglin looked a bit excited. “Everyone finds it very novel. When I organized the download and usage just now, the participation was exceptionally high. Many people are asking when we will officially launch. Your return is perfect. Everyone has explored the features, and we can wrap up. Are you feeling okay?”
“I’m fine.”
Wen Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and said to Wang Jinglin, “Thank you for your hard work in taking charge temporarily. I’ll handle the closing.”
