Secretly Married to a Chaebol Alpha novel Chapter 187

Chapter 187: THERAPY

"THE ENT doctor recommended Smell Retraining Therapy to Gunwoo."

Garam only listened to Song Sihyuk and Dr. Seong Kyungmin’s conversation.

He sat quietly on the chair next to the bed, watching Gunwoo sleep peacefully while holding his son’s hand.

My poor baby...

"She strongly recommended floral, fruity, spicy, and resinous fragrances," Song Sihyuk continued with his explanation. "Apparently, my son has to take sniffs of each scent for 10 to 20 seconds at least once or twice a day. She recommended doing it for at least 12 weeks. What do you think, Seong Kyungmin?"

"Yeah, your ENT doctor is right. It’s not my field of expertise, but I’m sure that’s how Smell Retraining Therapy is usually done," Dr. Seong Kyungmin agreed. "After all, SRT is believed to work as a combination of the unique ability for smell nerves to regrow while encouraging improved brain connectivity."

Garam had already heard that from all the ENT doctors who examined Gunwoo.

Yes, they brought at least five ENT doctors to check on their son.

And, now, Sihyuk Hyung is asking for Dr. Seong’s opinion even though this is outside Dr. Seong’s expertise.

"Sihyuk-ah, I have a suggestion," Seong Kyungmin said. "I’m not an ENT doctor, but I have a feeling that an ordinary SRT protocol won’t work on Gunwoo. Again, I’m not an expert regarding this matter. Having said that, would you still like to hear me out?"

"Go ahead."

"Let’s do the SRT twice a day," the doctor explained. "First, let Gunwoo smell normal fragrances. Then let him smell pheromones next. There are strong perfumes out there mixed with real pheromones."

"Why?" Garam asked, looking over his shoulder to look at Dr. Seong Kyungmin. "How would smelling pheromones help my son recover, Dr. Seong?"

He wasn’t criticizing Dr. Seong Kyungmin’s suggestion.

But he sounded that way because his voice was pretty cold.

I can’t help it— I’m not in a good mood.

"It’s almost certain that Gunwoo would awaken as an Alpha, thanks to Mija’s vision," Dr. Seong Kyungmin said. Yes, the doctor was aware of that fact since Song Sihyuk often bragged about their son being an Alpha. "Most Alphas are healthy and have a fast recovery rate, thanks to their pheromones. By having Gunwoo smell pheromones, I’m hoping that his dormant pheromones would get triggered. Once it happens, he might recover his sense of smell."

Oh.

That made sense.

"But if that happens, then my son’s awakening might come sooner than expected," Song Sihyuk said. "My son is only four years old. Isn’t that too early for him to manifest?"

"Yes, that might happen," Dr. Seong Kyungmin said while nodding. "That’s why the choice is yours, Garam-ssi, Sihyuk-ah."

Ah.

To be honest, Garam didn’t want Gunwoo to manifest early.

However...

I want my son to recover his sense of smell.

"What do you want to do, Garam-ah?" Song Sihyuk asked gently. "I’ll follow your decision."

"Let’s try it," Garam said firmly. "I want Gunwoo to get better quickly."

***

GARAM and Song Sihyuk left the hospital while Gunwoo was still sleeping.

Of course, they only left when his Omega father-in-law arrived to take care of their child.

Mija said she’d visit Gunwoo later.

He already asked Shin Geon and Shin Junho to accompany Mija.

I haven’t thanked Mija yet for reaching out to the other shaman to save my baby.

"Garam-ah, are you sure you want to be there?" Song Sihyuk, sitting beside Garam in the backseat, asked worriedly. "You don’t have to see that bastard. I’ll make sure I’ll punish him for what he did to our son."

"And I want to see it, Hyung," Garam said firmly. "I want to at least punch that bastard with my own hands."

I didn’t want to enroll Gunwoo to a very prestigious school, but I was convinced when Hyung said the school has tight security.

***

A CONSTRUCTION site?

How cliché.

That was Garam’s first thought when they arrived at their destination.

"Is this an abandoned construction site, Hyung?"

"This isn’t abandoned," Song Sihyuk said while shaking his head. "I borrowed this construction site from SG Constructions."

Ah, SG Constructions was a subsidiary company of SG Group, of course.

"Why this particular place, Hyung?"

"This is far from residential areas," Song Sihyuk said, shrugging. "No one would hear the gunshots, if ever."

Oh.

"Hyung."

"Yeah?"

"You have a gun, right?"

"Lim Garam."

Garam looked at Song Sihyuk straight in the eye. "Lend me your gun, Sihyuk Hyung."
