Chapter 13: CHAPTER 13 - GRUVV's POV
"The petals weren't purposely put in his mouth for sexual pleasure, it came from inside his lungs. Mr. Shiloh has a disease that only a few people in the world have, it's Hanahaki Disease. A disease that some people call a beautiful and deadly disease. This disease is caused by a deep loss and missing someone they loved."
I was stunned to hear such a long explanation from the doctor in the hospital hallway. It's the first time I've heard of someone having a terminal illness just because they feel that kind of thing.
I pulled out my phone and search it. The disease really exists but is so rare, only zero point one percent of people in this world have it.
"Inside his lungs grew a rose, as the rose grew larger and pressed against his lungs, he would often cough and threw out the petals. Sounds absurd and strange, but this is how Hanahaki's disease work. The sense of losing someone they loved grew a seeds in the lungs or heart. Luckily, Shiloh's roses grew inside his lungs."
I held the phone in my hand.
"His body went into shock and overdosed, we've been trying to get all the drugs out of his body. But, it will probably take a long time for him to recover. Soporific in his body is very out of bound, it is due to long-term use."
The doctor's word that I heard tonight rang in my head. Not only did he look so skinny from malnutrition, he also suffered from such a rare disease. What the hell is that old fart Gil doing? He has an Omega dominant son and sells him only for money.
The boy is not even in good condition.
I stood and looked at the hospital room door, I pushed it and saw him lying weak and helpless on the bed.
"Gruvv, if you were late to take him to the hospital tonight, he would have died.."
I took a deep breath, sat down beside the bed and looked at him. His face is very different from Gil, Shiloh's face is like a carved statue. He looks so beautiful. Long eyelashes, thin lips, a sharp chin, a high nose.
"Ah, shit. He's a dominant Omega.." I whispered.
That night I backed home, before going to bed I talked to Cross on the phone. I told him that we found Shiloh Rudapriya, we discussed selling the boy to another embroidery house. I explained how his condition is and it will be difficult to sell him for now.
At 3 AM the hospital called me, hurrying me out of my bed room, and getting my car out, my house a little bit far away from the hospital. It took almost two hours. I try to drive my car as fast as possible while my hand are trembling like crazy.
I don't know what happened, but they said the boy had a seizure.
When I arrived the nurse explained that the boy's body was reacting to pheromones. In particular, Alpha pheromones. He had passed the danger but the doctor advised him to be moved to a private room. He can't smell any Alpha pheromones.
"Gruvv, you still can't control your pheromones?" Ask Dr. Andrew, he's one of my family's doctor.
"You can judge for yourself." I said, smoking a cigarette in my hand.
We are in a hospital park, he said he want to talk to me privately.
"That's why I asked, that boy...His body doesn't react with your pheromones."
I stopped my hands in the air, turned to Andrew with a face full of surprised. "What did you say?" I don't even realized it.
"When I went in to check on him before his body reacted, his room was full of your pheromones. However, his body did not react to it." Andrew looked at me with a serious face. "Gruvv, he can be our specimen for your illness."
After that night, I had a long discussion with Andrew. He took me into the room and asked me to stay inside for ten minutes. Because I could not control my own pheromones, the room was filled with my scent quickly. As Andrew suspected, the boy's body did not react.
There were no seizures like he was talking about.
"I will take him home for intensive care." I told Andrew after he explained everything, and said that it'll more better if I spend a lot of time beside the boy.
So, we changed all the nurses and doctors to take care of him at my house.
"Mr. Gruvv, this man is so beautiful, ah, it's sad to see him so weak. His body is so skinny..." Ave, the maid who has been taking care of me since childhood, roared sadly at Shiloh's condition. Yes, his condition it's so horrible.
I changed some people who took care of the boy, he couldn't accept Alpha pheromones whereas I couldn't get Omega to be around me. Besides him.
After a week, he opened his eyes. He looked surprised and frightened.
"Wow, your body control is hilarious." I said with a big smile, I approached him. He looks so much better than before, I think his desire to live must be so strong. However, his eyes are still out of focus and I think he is still under the drugs. "No need to talk, you're still on drugs. Doctor said it's gonna take a while for those drugs losing its effect on your body." I leaned over, I looked closely at his face.
"You, beautiful." I said before leaving the room.
He didn't react to my pheromones, as Andrew suspected.
Interesting.
At night, when I was in his room, he woke up again. His question that night surprised me.
"Is that your pheromone's smell?"
I, uh, never knew the scent of my pheromones. People around me are always annoyed by my pheromones, my family does not like it either. They always say the scent is too strong.
"The sweet one, it's the sweet Tangerines smell."
He said my pheromones smell like sweet tangerine.
"Your scent calms me."
I blinked when he said that, from the way he looked at me, I knew he was still far below his senses. He still in and out of consciousness, but he clearly said it.
This is the first time someone has said that to me. All my life. My heart skipped a beat.
