Chapter 117: He Doesn’t Want Me Anymore

Every tick of the clock was tormenting Shao Chengxi.

His baby’s brows were tightly furrowed, his face as pale as paper, drenched in sweat, looking like he was in immense pain.

Twice, Shao Chengxi was about to rush into the isolation room, wanting to take Shu Lin out.

But Shu Lin didn’t stop releasing pheromones, and the door to the isolation room wouldn’t open.

Shao Chengxi leaned a hand on the glass window, watching Shu Lin, his eyes bloodshot, feeling utterly helpless for the first time.

Nearly two hours passed when Shao Shiyan suddenly exclaimed:

“Look at the monitor! The patients’ eyes are focusing. They’re regaining consciousness.”

Everyone looked over and saw that the agitated patients were slowly calming down.

Some even had relaxed expressions.

“Second Brother.” Shao Shiyan excitedly grabbed Shao Chengxi’s arm, “Shu Lin really is a US-Class Omega. He’s incredible! It’s working, his pheromones are working!”

Shao Chengxi’s eyes were filled with concern for his Omega. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he brushed Shao Shiyan’s hand away.

He stared unblinkingly at Shu Lin in the isolation room, and he seemed to see a golden halo flowing around his Omega, illuminating him like a saint.

At that moment, Shu Lin looked extremely fragile, yet breathtakingly beautiful.

“Miracle!” Mu Zi watched everything in front of him, marveling, “Completely under control. All the patients are stabilizing. I predicted correctly, the pheromones of a US-Class Omega are truly magical…”

His words stopped abruptly.

The door to the isolation room opened, and Shao Chengxi rushed to meet him, taking the swaying Shu Lin into his arms.

Shu Lin’s face was deathly pale. When he saw Shao Chengxi, his eyelids fluttered weakly, and his lips moved silently before his legs gave out, and he fainted.

“Baby…” Shao Chengxi’s voice tightened as he caught him securely.

His entire body was soaked with sweat, and he was as limp as a rag doll.

Mu Zi knew Shu Lin’s physical condition best, so he quickly stepped forward to examine him.

After a moment, Mu Zi said, “As we expected, physical exhaustion. Quickly, get him to bed to rest and give him an energy supplement.”

Hearing Mu Zi say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Shao Chengxi scooped up Shu Lin in his arms, his gaze never leaving his face, as he directed:

“Mu Zi, prepare an ambulance. You’ll accompany him the whole way. I want to send Shu Lin to Shao’s Hospital. Notify Director Chen to prepare everything.”

“Father, this is definitely not an isolated incident. You should go back first and coordinate with Grandpa.”

“Eldest Brother, stay here and handle the aftermath with Liao Chen. The intelligence agents have arrived. Investigate the cause of the incident with them.”

“Shiyan, report progress to Grandpa and Father at any time. They’ll know what to do next.”

Everyone acted according to his instructions.

An hour after arriving at Shao’s Hospital, Shu Lin started running a high fever.

Previously, after his pheromone-induced exhaustion, he had never experienced a fever.

This made the medical experts present nervous.

Outside the VIP ward at Shao’s Hospital, hurried footsteps approached from afar.

Shu Jingcheng and Shu Lingxiao rushed over.

As soon as he entered, Shu Jingcheng’s gaze locked onto Shu Lin.

“How could this happen?” Shu Jingcheng’s voice trembled as he took a few steps forward, lightly touching his son’s burning cheek with his fingertips.

How could his precious son be lying in a hospital bed again?

Last time it was because of Shao Chengxi’s political enemies, and he was attacked by an Alpha’s pheromones.

What was it this time?

It must still be related to the Shao family.

Receiving his father-in-law’s accusatory gaze, Shao Chengxi stood to the side, his jaw tight, his eyes bloodshot.

He was just about to explain when he saw Shu Lin stir in his unconsciousness, instinctively turning his head towards Shu Jingcheng, sniffing lightly as if searching for something.

“Dad, Daddy…” Shu Lin’s voice was so faint it was almost inaudible, filled with childlike dependence.

“Daddy’s baby, don’t be afraid, Daddy’s here, here…” Shu Jingcheng immediately grasped Shu Lin’s hand, releasing gentle pheromones to soothe him.

It was the scent that Shu Lin had been familiar with since childhood.

Sure enough, under the comfort of Shu Jingcheng’s pheromones, Shu Lin’s brows gradually relaxed.

He instinctively snuggled into Shu Jingcheng’s arms, just like when he was a child with a fever and wanted to be held by Shu Jingcheng.

Shao Chengxi’s breath hitched, and his chest felt like it had been gouged out by a dull knife.

He wanted to hold Shu Lin.

But after Shu Lin had a fever, he didn’t let him near, seemingly rejecting him.

The doctor said it was because Shu Lin hadn’t been marked by Shao Chengxi.

This was normal, and he shouldn’t overthink it.

But he still felt sad.

Shao Chengxi slowly reached out, wanting to touch Shu Lin’s wrist, but before his fingertip could touch it, Shu Lin flinched slightly and burrowed into Shu Jingcheng’s arms.

Shao Chengxi’s hand froze in mid-air, his heart feeling like it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.

Seeing this, Chen Mingyuan quickly said:

“Mr. Shu’s current state is similar to regression. Unconsciously, he instinctively seeks the most primal sense of security, so in the absence of being marked, he prefers to be close to his closest relative. Once his fever breaks, everything will be fine, Minister Shao, don’t worry.”

“I know.” Shao Chengxi’s face was cold and hard as he withdrew his hand, his knuckles turning white as he clenched them. “I just want to know, when will my Omega’s fever break?”

Chen Mingyuan stammered, “It’s hard to say… Mr. Shu’s physical indicators are all normal, but he still has a fever. This new symptom after physical exhaustion requires time for us to study.”

Shao Chengxi looked grim. “Then go study it quickly. What’s the point of standing here watching? Is it helpful?”

“Uh…” Chen Mingyuan touched the tip of his nose.

In the ward, Shu Jingcheng held Shu Lin, gently patting his back, enveloping his feverish son with his pheromones, his face full of heartache.

Shao Chengxi stood at the end of the corridor, slamming his fist against the wall, causing blood to seep from his knuckles.

His Omega didn’t want him anymore.

Even if it was only temporary, it hurt him like crazy.

If he had marked Shu Lin, it would be a different situation.

The reason he hadn’t marked Shu Lin for so long was because after his pheromone overproduction symptoms improved, he became very sensitive to pain.

Marking an Omega is already painful, but choosing to mark him during his heat would reduce the pain by nearly sixty percent.

After Shu Lin differentiated, he had one heat cycle a year, usually around September.

But since marrying Shao Chengxi, he hadn’t gone into heat.

The doctor couldn’t explain why either.

They only said that his physical condition was very good, there was no need to worry, and to let nature take its course.

Now, things had turned out like this, and even his own Omega wouldn’t let him touch him.

Who the hell did this?

In order to deal with the Shao family, they were joking with so many people’s lives, with no bottom line.

Acting so inhumanely, once he caught the real culprit, he would definitely punish them severely.

Three days passed, and Shu Lin’s high fever still hadn’t broken, but fortunately, there was Shu Jingcheng, and his temperature was within a controllable range.

During this time, Shao Chengxi had been unable to get close to Shu Lin, and it was driving him crazy.

Under his orders, the intelligence agency went all out to investigate the cause of the accident.

Although the clues in pheromone cases had a very short shelf life, making investigations difficult, the intelligence agency personnel had their own unique methods.

Under their tracking, they still found some valuable clues.

After summarizing, these clues all pointed to the same person.

That was Vice President Wu Xun.
