Secretly Married to a Chaebol Alpha novel Chapter 198

Chapter 198: NOT AGAIN

IN THE first week before Song Sihyuk ghosted Garam, Gunwoo’s condition improved.

To be honest, the reason wasn’t great.

But I consider it a blessing in disguise.

One afternoon, Garam heard a sound that no parent wanted to hear: the sound of their child screaming in horror.

"DAD!"

Garam immediately ran towards Gunwoo’s room.

It wasn’t just him— Shin Geon and Mija also came running.

Even Shin Junho, who was carrying Baby Jina in his arms.

Yes, they’re currently staying with me and my son.

"Baby, what happened?"

Garam immediately fell on his knees and checked Gunwoo from head to toe.

"Did you get hurt? Are you in pain?"

"I’m fine, Dad," Gunwoo said, and then he pointed at the kitten. "But Bam threw up! And he looks sick!"

Oh.

Only then did Garam notice the kitten lying down on the floor next to a pool of vomit.

Ah, Bam is sick.

"We’ll bring him to the vet, then," Garam said, carefully picking up Bam and carrying the lethargic kitten in his arms. "Gunwoo-ya, stay here with your Uncle Junho and Mija Noona." He then turned to Shin Geon. "Geon Hyung, please get the car ready while I put Bam in a crate."

Shin Geon nodded before leaving.

Garam was about to look for the crate, but Mija volunteered to get it from the other room.

"Don’t worry, Gunwoo-ya. I’m sure Bam will be fine," Shin Junho consoled the child. "Let’s stay at home and play with Jina."

"Oppa, play with Jina," Jina said while tugging at Gunwoo’s arm. "Jina wants to play princess."

"I’m sorry, but Oppa can’t play with you right now, Jina-ya."

Oho?

Garam lifted his head and looked at his son after hearing him turn down Jina’s offer to play.

Maybe my baby is not in the mood because Bam is sick.

However...

"Dad, I’m going with you," Gunwoo said firmly. "I’m worried about Bam."

"I understand what you’re feeling, son," Garam said. "But calling the bus that we use to commute will take time. We need to ride a car if we want to bring Bam to the vet fast."

"I-It’s okay, Dad. I think I can ride the car now."

"Baby, you don’t have to force yourself."

"I’m not forcing myself, Dad."

To be honest, Garam wanted Gunwoo to get better. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Maybe this is a chance to help my son overcome his fear.

"Gunwoo-ya, are you sure you want to try riding in a car again?"

"Yes, Dad," Gunwoo said determinedly while nodding. "I’m ready."

"Alright, then," Garam said while standing up, and then he extended his hand to his son. "Let’s go, baby."

***

GARAM observed Gunwoo while the two of them were in the backseat of the car.

His son looked worried, but not for himself.

Gunwoo was obviously holding back his tears while hugging the carrier where Bam was currently sleeping.

He’s really worried about our kitten, huh?

"Gunwoo-ya, are you okay?" Garam asked worriedly. He was worried about their kitten, but he was more worried about his son. "You don’t feel sick?"

Shin Geon was actually being considerate by driving slower and more carefully than normal.

Thanks to that, Gunwoo seemed more comfortable than expected.

"I’m fine, Dad. And I don’t feel sick either," Gunwoo said, and then he lifted his head to look at Garam. "I’m Bam’s older brother, so I have to be strong for him— especially now that he’s sick."

Aww.

"That’s so brave of you, baby," Garam said while gently ruffling Gunwoo’s hair. "Bam is lucky to have you as his older brother."

Fortunately, Bam didn’t have any serious health issues.

The kitten only threw up because it didn’t like the cat food that they gave him.

So, they just had to find a new brand.

After that, everything was fine.

Garam was grateful that Gunwoo had overcome his fear due to that incident and the help of the child’s psychologist.

Thanks to them, we didn’t have to use a bus as a private vehicle again.

***

THE SECOND week after Song Sihyuk left for New York, the Alpha informed Garam that he was extending his business trip to one more week.

He couldn’t be too sad about it because Gunwoo’s condition improved again.

"Uncle Kyungmin, this perfume doesn’t smell nice!"

Garam covered his mouth with his hands when he gasped.

My son can smell the perfume!

"Gunwoo-ya, you can smell the perfume?" Dr. Seong Kyungmin asked carefully. "Can you describe how it smells?"

"It’s spicy!" Gunwoo said while covering his nose with his hands. "Like gochujang! I don’t like gochujang, Uncle!"

Aigooya.

Sihyuk Hyung, your son inherited your dislike for gochujang.

Anyway, Garam thought the perfume smelled a bit spicy.

But it wasn’t as bad as Gunwoo described it.

Is it because my son has sharper senses than me because he’s an Alpha?

My baby...

Your Alpha father hasn’t been calling us these days, son.

I don’t want to ruin this wonderful day.

***

Yep, that Alpha bastard ghosted me again.

Even my in-laws can’t reach Sihyuk Hyung.

I’m tired of being treated like a damsel in distress.

We’re borrowing Appa and Abeoji’s private plane for this trip.
