Chapter 610: 12.12 Unknown Star – Modern ABO World: Time Reversal (3)
Prosecutor Ye Yuyan didn’t know how and when he left the Intelligence Division Building. The extreme happiness he had when he first entered the building completely faded as he left the director’s office. There are only dull and lifeless eyes on Ye Yuyan. It was after that day that Ye Yuyan’s change had begun.
He resigned from his position out of nowhere and started drinking from morning to evening as he wandered on the street near the pier where he had shot Hei Yuhua. As he drank all his worries and guilt, the scene of that day continuously played before his eyes. Endlessly in the loop, but this is what Ye Yuyan wanted to see. He wanted to see Hei Yuhua.
Actually, when he left the director’s office the first thing that came to his mind was to look for Hei Yuyan. He asked the director and his father for permission. The two reluctantly agreed and gave him the address of the hospital but who would expect that what he would see is a dying body and Hei Yuhua who was only considered brain dead. The machines were only there to keep his body alive but no one could say when he would wake up.
Once he saw the man he used to hate and the man he had been looking for all this time, Ye Yuyan couldn’t stay at that place for too long. Not only was he forbidden from approaching the heavily injured agent, but the ICU also prevented others from entering except for doctors.
A doctor arrived to check on Hei Yuhua. When he bumps into Ye Yuyan on the way and smells his pheromones, the doctor is a recessive alpha and feels pressured by the presence of a dominant alpha-like Ye Yuyan. But he also noticed one thing, this man’s pheromones were the ones he found on the patient inside the ICU. They might be fated mates if his scent could stay in the omega’s body for such a long time even without binding.
The doctor approached the shocked Ye Yuyan outside ICU room 1.
“Sir, are you the partner of the patient inside? I would like a bit of your help. Your pheromones were very helpful in stabilizing Mr. Hei’s situation. I found traces of your scent in him that help him hold on to life. M-Maybe with your cooperation we will be able to wake him up.” said the doctor.
.....
Ye Yuyan was dazed when he heard what the doctor had said. His lifeless eyes suddenly spark with the light of hope but instantly diminish after recalling what he had done. He gripped his hands until they bleed as a despairing look once again surfaced on his face.
“N-No, he... He definitely hates me. I... I’m the reason why he is in there.” said Ye Yuyan, his voice raspy and low. As if like an injured beast growling in pain and anger for himself.
The doctor at first couldn’t understand what the man said until he noticed that the other agents left to protect the patient inside were all glaring at the man beside him. Only then did he recognize the handsome face of Ye Yuyan. This is the police officer who shot the patient in the heart. The culprit that leads the agent to such a state of borderline being life and death.
Ye Yuyan ignored the ugly eyes on him and looked at the doctor beside him.
He said, “Can I see... him closely? I have Director Wei and the Prime Minister’s permission.”
He passed the letter of authorization to the doctor and the agent in the lead of the group. Only then do they decide to allow Ye Yuyan to visit Hei Yuhua close.
The agent had a grim expression on his face and looked at the doctor.
“How long could I stay inside the ICU?” The agent asked the doctor.
The doctor responded, “5 minutes at most. Anything longer than that is not allowed. Only 3 people at the same time.”
The agent looked at Ye Yuyan and said, “3 minutes. I will enter with you. Just ins ace you tried killing him, I would end you on the spot.”
“I agree...” said Ye Yuyan.
Seeing them deciding to enter ICU room 1, the doctor asked them to come with them to the side preparation room. They need to disinfect their whole body and wear some hospital robes before entering the ICU room.
Inside ICU room 1, Ye Yuyan was surprised to see the appearance of Hei Yuhua. From what he remembered Hei Yuhua is an extremely beautiful omega but his features do not lean that of the feminine side but instead show elegance and nobility one could hardly touch much more taint. Yes, like a proud white rose, dignified and peerless.
Like a playful princess, everyone could help but pamper them despite that he is a bit cold as if keeping a distance from everyone. He thought this kind of bearing is because he looks down on others who would have thought he is separating himself from the others intentionally preventing the others from getting involved. After all, he doesn’t want others to get hurt because of him. He is, after all, an undercover agent. To complete his mission, he would sometimes betray his current comrades for greater goals. Most agents can hardly move my emotions as they were trained not to be so.
But now the proud white rose looks wilted at this moment. The thinness of his body could almost crave the bones within. His lips which used to be cerise and alluring were now dried up and a bit purple. His refined features were lost as the flesh on his face was slightly gone and his cheekbones were slightly prodding. He lost his usual beauty yet, he looks so peaceful in his sleep.
Seeing this Ye Yuyan recalled the moments he had to spend together with this man. He would always treat him coldly and openly showed his hate for him. Regardless of his actions, this person would help him when he is in danger. Help him formulate ideas and even guide him to some things that he might accidentally turn a blind into. He would always be there to fill up the flaws he left behind keeping the whole team intact and making sure to keep them safe no matter what.
He didn’t do things openly yet he also didn’t intentionally hide his actions. ‘sIt’s just that his prejudiced nature made him unable to see. The hard work and righteousness this man who used to stand beside him had. Because hatred blinded his reasons, he killed the wrong person. What’s worse, this is a man he had fallen in love with, the mother of his daughter as well as the one he had been looking for all this time.
Fate is too playful. Who would have thought he would kill a mate that was bound to be fated for him. Now he would have to live a life with his mate by his side. Ye Yuyan’s tear strolls down on his face as he kneeled beside the bed. He held on to the slightly cold slender hands of the slumbering Hei Yuhua.
Whimpering as he continues to whisper words of apologies and regret. Pleading him to wake up and even willing to exchange his everything just so he could see Hei Yuhua awake once again. Unknown to him, Hei Yuhua’s soul was lingering near the bed. He had heard everything Ye Yuyan had said.
In reality, Ye Yuyan wasn’t at fault. He intentionally made the man mistake him for the serial killer who killed his daughter. For a man who had always wished to have his own family, taking back their daughter was the last straw that almost made Ye Yuyan mad. All this time he had wanted to tell Yuyan what his real identity was. But there are too many eyes and ears around them, it would be safer if Ye Yuyan shows his hate for him openly to avoid those spies from the syndicate from targeting Ye Yuyan to be used against him.
In his soul form, Hei Yuhua had no other way to appease the crying man. He couldn’t touch him on this form nor could he speak to explain things to him. He could only hug him in comfort. Praying that even a slight warmth would be passed on to this lonely person.
The agent was a bit moved by the scene. He had heard from his friends from the headquarters how this man reacted when he learned about Agent Hei’s real identity. This is why it is very hard for undercover agents to have a family. It is because once they made a family, that precious family would become their greatest weakness. Agent Hei is already in danger when he begged the division to protect his daughter. The director agreed as the identity of the little girl’s other father is quite big. The sole heir of the Prime Minister’s house, Ye Yuyan.
But the identity of Prosecutor Ye Yuyan is hard to hide, this is a dominant alpha that is rare in all eras. There is no way the Red Poppy Syndicate doesn’t know this person. It was because of this that Agent Hei never informed this man about the existence of the little girl. Not only the appearance of the little girl is a result of mistakes between the two. Their positions were different from one another. They couldn’t openly work together as one works in the shadows as an agent while the other works in light as a famous prosecutor.
The Agent’s expression mellowed at such a scene. Because of this, he had allowed Ye Yuyan to stay for exactly 5 minutes before asking him to leave. Even if he wanted to allow the man inside to accompany Agent Hei, the rules in the ICU can be bent by them as this is for the good of the patient inside.
“Prosecutor Ye, it’s time to leave. We cannot stay inside the ICU for too long.”
As expected when the agent said that Ye Yuyan who was kneeling as he held Hei Yuhua’s hand slightly trembled. His voice was a bit hoarse as he gently put back Hei Yuhua’s hand within the blanket and stood up on his numb legs.
The agent wanted to help this lonely man to stand up from kneeling on the cold floor. Even if it was only 5 minutes, the numbness on his legs still left Ye Yuyan helpless for a while as tried to stand up.
“Thank you but it’s okay. I will visit again tomorrow,” said Ye Yuyan.
But regardless, this prosecutor declined the helping hand and stood on his own and walked away after staring at Hei Yuyan’s face with a forlorn expression on his face. Everyone watches his tall yet crouching, lonely figure as he walks alone in the dim hallway.
Ye Yuyan had visited the hospital almost every day after that time. He resigned from his job and worked undercover on his own. He wanted revenge on the Syndicate. But he is only one person, how could he catch a huge syndicate? No matter what he does he fails and in the end, the news of Hei Yuhua’s passing was the last straw.
System Yang didn’t instantly reverse the time. As the original Hei Yuhua wishes, he lets his funeral happen first as he wants to see her daughter and the man he loves before he returns to the past. But the scene during his funeral is much more painful than he expected. His daughter cried all day until she passed out. Ye Yuyan never visited his funeral. Others believe he still hated him but his comrade from the Intelligence division knew that Ye Yuyan was in a state of denial. He didn’t want to believe that Hei Yuhua died and wallowed himself in beer and liquor.
The custody of Ye Huahua was finalized and it was given to the biological grandparents of the little girl. Ye Huahua is now the only princess of the Ye Family. While her father on the other hand had become a drunkard which his grandparents never allowed her to meet.
This is why no one knows about the hit-and-run accident near the pier. That place is usually desolated and there is no surveillance of that place. Ye Yuyan covered in his own blood was already half dead when System Yue approached him.
In the midst of the blurring sight, Ye Yuyan hallucinated and saw the figure of Hei Yuhua smiling at him. His expression is the same as that night. Helpless and weary but he still didn’t forget to smile at Ye Yuyan as if he wanted to ingrain himself in the man’s memory while he is still beautiful.
Ye Yuyan reached out for air as he looked at the hallucination before him with tears falling on his cheeks.
“Yu’er~ don’t leave me, please~”
Suddenly a small moon descended from the heavens materializing in the human form of a young man in robes. Even though System Yue isn’t a Godly beauty like Hei Anjing, his temperament as an executor is enough to make his presence look noble yet cold. In the eyes of the original Ye Yuyan, Zhi Yue is an immortal descending on earth.
System Yue asked, [Do you want to return to the past? Original Resident of this world, Ye Yuyan.]
