"This is nothing but a threat! How could they possibly put Le An into such danger?" Sora was going back and forth. "He's not even close to being well right now, after all the guiding regutions they put him through. I cannot believe it. I cannot believe there was worse coming."

  In his house, all his team were furious right now. After they listened to Le An on the way home, the expected files arrived soon. And the wyers were invited. They were flipping pages and arguing between themselves. One of them raised his head, looking upstairs absentmindedly, where Le An was. "There's not even a clue about how humanistic this experiment will be held. And they didn't even put a strict deadline date, this is a crucial point we will not accept. Without termination rights, possible harm expnations, and an estimated end date, they might not stop till they push him to near death."

  "And like it's not even enough, they expect him to continue guiding sessions at the same time."

  "What the hell..." Emerald said. "Isn't this illegal? Aren't there any possible objections we could make, like, isn't it against guiding ws?"

  "That's a guide abuse, but they sent the w regution that is solely brought into force for Le An and without going into any abeyance, the Ministry of Health used their privilege to put it on with consensus."

  "Demons." Le An heard the word at the stairs, going down. They all looked at him at once. Theo leaned on the window ledge and had not uttered a word since they arrived, pulled himself together, and strode over to him immediately. "Anything you need?"

  Le An made a hand gesture to stop him kindly, he was changed into a t-shirt and shorts, his hair was disheveled. "I'm okay, I'll just go get some air in the garden."

  "Your clothes are a bit thin."

  "I won't be out for too long. Besides, I want to feel a bit cold."

  They all watched him, wanted to say something, yet abstained, not to bother him. Theo's eyes were glued to his back. Le An held the door handle and turned back to look at them. "What happened, happened. I need the best scenario we can make from this. So, thank you already, for all your sincere care and efforts for me."

  He got out. Several guards stopped him to accompany him, but he declined. And even exhaled at the st guard, smiling tiredly. "Please." Fresh air and solitude, will it ever be possible for him?

  His team was watching him, his little steps to the keside. Theo was furious inside, feeling even more helpless while looking at Le An's tired figure. They now knew he was an omega, and once people like that learns something like this, Theo knew that they wouldn't remain still. In that room, many more things had probably happened, but Le An just kept it inside.

  As he always does.

  But his body had faint alpha pheromones at that time, several ones even, they all smelled it inside the car. He must have been resisting them for a long time, and even resisting to keep his pheromones in check, till he is alone. That's why he ran upstairs as soon as they walked in to take a shower. No matter how hard an omega tries or resists, he would still be unarmed to alphas' scent and oppression as it is evolutionarily coded. Resisting was against his very nature and was painful.

  "He doesn't deserve any of this." He murmured to himself. "He doesn't deserve it."

  ---

  With all other troubles pent up, Le An was waiting for him now. There were still two hours, so he was lying on his back to gather some energy. But since the evening, the effect of the injection had worn off already.

  This man and the experiment were not reted, it seems. Both parties' techniques and goals were different, which means it was double trouble for Le An. The files and papers caught his eye, all scattered on the table. He got up to hide them. Nothing good would happen if that man were to see those. It would only add more to Le An's problems.

  Stepping back to his bed, Le An suddenly felt weak, and his legs gave up. He fell on the ground. "Ugh..."

  Soon after, two guards knocked on the door. As the door opened, Le An suddenly felt impatient, but the scream just didn't get out of his mouth. He wanted to be alone. The guards rushed over to him and helped him to get up and lie back down. "I want painkillers and some pain-relieving pads, please." He said, struggling to move himself to a more comfortable position to lie.

  "Emerald informed us not to take more painkillers for today, Le An. Pain-relieving pads are alright. What about some tea? Anything you crave?"

  Le An looked at them, lying on a bnket at his feet. "Pain-relieving pads will be enough."

  They gave him six pads and left. He put the pads on his thighs, back, waist, and neck. Soon his body heated, leaving a sense of numbness in his muscles. His eyes gradually closed.

  When the man arrived, Le An was sleeping, curled into a ball under the bnket.
