Chapter 43

Ethan just received the shocking news of his resignation that was not known to him. His own family submitted a resignation letter while telling them that he already left the country that made the president of the hospital approve it. With every second count, he can feel his whole world crash down.

"Ethan…calm down son…please you are pregnant…" said mother Aoki whose very worried about Ethan's sudden outburst. She doesn't want Ethan to get any more stress which would be bad for the baby that is inside him.

"HAHAHA!!! SON? Am I still your son? First, you ruin my life by locking me up here, and now are you ruining my career, how much more are you going to ruin me for you to be satisfied!"

"Ethan…" father Aoki can now see how fragile his youngest son is. It is not weird for him to hear from Ethan that they never laid their eyes on him. He did make him leave the main house when he was 12 years old, he prioritizes the desire of his daughter and eldest son but never his youngest. He can feel a slight regret when he got into that accident in the past but after that, it was his pride who took over him. He doesn't want to anger his parents and in-laws that is why he is just kind in front of them.

"Leave me alone….LEAVE ME ALONE!!! NEVER SHOW YOUR FACE IN FRONT OF ME EVER! YOU ARE NOT MY PARENTS! LEAVE!" shouted Ethan as he throws everything on the table that is beside his laptop. He doesn't care if he gets hurt or not, his anger can no longer be contained. He can no longer regard the people in front of him as his parents, they are now strangers in his eyes.

"Ethan…" mother Aoki almost got hurt by some of the vase fragments, if it was not for father Aoki's quick move his wife would have been injured.

"Let's go, honey, we must let Ethan rest" Father Aoki pulls his wife out of Ethan's room. Judging by the mood of Ethan, they can no longer push any of their thoughts to him, much more talk with sense. Ethan was too devastated by the news of his sudden unknown resignation. It is only right for them to leave the room and let Ethan rest to not to add up any more stress to him. They don't want that to be the reason for Ethan's miscarriage.

Ethan continues to cry as his parents left him alone in the room, he wanted to run away from that house but with the shackles, on his right foot, he cannot go anywhere. He wanted to call Ken but even that is not possible.

"why…why …*sob*sob* Ken…I wish you are here…*sob*sob* Ken…" The whole room was in a mess with all of the things that Ethan continue to throw on the floor. He wanted to calm down but every time he remembers what his father did, he just can't find it in him to calm down.

Minutes later, as he tries to calm down, he had forgotten that his video call was still on and Mikel can see everything that is going on inside Ethan's room. Without the chair to block what is happening, he can see how mad and sad his friend was. He just couldn't hear anything since Ethan did turn off his mic but seeing the facial expression of Ethan, he can roughly guess what is going on.

"what are you looking at?" asked Lucas the older brother of Mikel who just came inside his room.

"WAH! Brother! Don't just come in without knocking!" Mikel was so shocked when his brother suddenly talks behind him.

"I did knock you know, but after knocking for more than three times you never answered. That's why I just let myself in and here I found you looking so serious on your laptop. what are you...hmn...isn't that Ethan?"

"Yeah, we were talking about university stuff a while ago but his parents suddenly came inside that is why he turned his mic off for a while but by the looks of it they argued"

"hmn....his right foot is in shackles and he has a bump...is he pregnant?"

"I think so, I just notice it too."

"hmn...ask him if he is being mistreated by his parents and I will do anything in my power to help him. I will never allow such people to hurt him." Lucas then turns his back and left his brother alone in his room. He can't look at Ethan at that moment, the more he looks the more hurt he feels towards the omega he loves.

"such people huh, those are his parents though. You really like him a lot brother even though he has a lover already" Mikel knew how much his older brother likes Ethan. He did ask him what happen after coming back from country J, there he got to know that his brother fell in love at first sight to an omega who already had a lover. He was very interested to know about the omega who made his brother fall in love and to his luck he got to know Ethan as his classmate in his online managerial course.

Meanwhile, in CGH, Dr. Inoue just received the news about Ethan's resignation from the president himself. He finds it weird that his student suddenly quit without any notice nor even letting him know. The last time they saw each other he remembers the hesitation of Ethan towards his own brother. He thought that was nothing but now with the sudden resignation, he can be sure that something is not right.

"Akihisa…" Dr. Inoue had some free time that is why he went to the office of his lover, Dr. Kimura.

"hmn? Hideki? What are you doing here?" Dr. Kimura was a little shocked by the sudden visit of Dr. Inoue. He is aware of how busy his lover is and with a pack of scheduled operations, he is used to not see him for the whole day other than their own home.

"I miss you, that's why I came here. I also have some free time so I came to see you. Are you free right now?"

"*giggle* yes, I just finished my rounds and was about to go have lunch. How about we eat together?"

"Hehe, I thought so, that is why I already bought our lunch, let's eat here. I have something very important to talk to you too"

"hmn? About what?"

"Ethan...he quit…"

"quit? Meaning?"

"I just heard from the president that Ethan's father came to give his resignation letter. He wasn't able to give it since he had to go to Hawaii as soon as possible thus his father was the one who gave it. Our president didn't have a choice but to approve of it even if it is against his will." Said Dr. Inoue while Dr. Kimura was unpacking the packed lunch that was bought by his lover. He was shocked at the same time that his movement stop when he heard the news regarding Ethan.

"But he is undergoing his fellowship training right?" Dr. Kimura views Ethan as someone who would not quit his work especially now that he is undergoing his fellowship training.

"that's right, which is why I find it hard to believe that he suddenly quit in the middle of it. I can feel that something is not right since Ethan did became my student and considering how much hard work he does every time we had numerous operations in one full day. It's just too weird that he will give up all of that for the sake of going to Hawaii *sigh*" Dr. Inoue can't help but feel frustrated by the sudden leave of Ethan. He started to eat the meal that is now in front of him while Dr. Kimura does the same.

"Did the president told you the reason why he needs to go to Hawaii?"

"He told me that Ethan needs to help out with his maternal grandparents and possibly work in a hospital there. That's all the president knows as well, Ethan's father didn't say anything else."

"hmn…weird indeed. Maybe you should send an email to Ethan, asking him the real reason. Also, we can process a recommendation letter to the hospital in country A, that way we can ask him to work there instead"

"hmn…you're right. I will email my director later and let him know about Ethan. Hopefully, they would send him an email asking him to work there as well and then I will also send an email to Ethan later to know all the details of his sudden leave. You really are the best, my love! Hehehe" Dr. Inoue then hugs Dr. Kimura as he praises him. Dr. Kimura is used to his hugs and there are times when his lover's hugs turn into their lovemaking.

"Then you should give ma reward Hideki"

"What reward do you want? Kiss? Or do you want to do it now?"

"what?! No! we still have work to do so a kiss will be fine for now but since we have a day off tomorrow, can I ask my lover to give me lots of love" Without warning Dr. Kimura releases his pheromones which made the other shock. Dr. Inoue kisses him without wasting any minute, their simple kiss turns into a very sloppy and er*tic one.

"Is your heat coming?"

"hehehe you guess it right. And you are the only one I wanted to grant my greatest wish but…that can wait until later when we get home so you need to go back to work now" They are both done eating their lunch which is why Dr. Kimura starts to push his lover out of his office. Dr.. Inoue was a little reluctant to leave but he knows that if he pushes his thought it would make his lover angry at him and he might not be able to please him easily now that his heat is coming.
