[ABO] After Accidental Marking, I Became Everyone’s Darling chapter 58
Chapter 58
Gu Chen again.
Gu Chen wasn’t a doctor. Why was he always at the hospital?
An Le felt a vague unease but pursed his lips and didn’t say anything, only softly calling, “Uncle.”
Gu Chen walked over with a cheerful smile, nodding to An Le, “Don’t worry about Xiao Heng. I’ll arrange for him to go on a business trip. Go through the admission procedures and get your check-up done now. We’ll do the surgery first thing tomorrow morning.”
Although An Le was somewhat reluctant to be arranged for by a strange alpha, Gu Chen was at least Lu Heng’s uncle, and the arrangement was reasonable, so he could only endure it.
After setting the surgery date, An Le went home to prepare. He needed to pack clothes for his hospital stay and have a pre-admission check-up.
An Le paid the fees, completed the admission procedures, and had the necessary pre-admission check-up. Then he and Li Jie went home.
Both of them were silent on the way. After a long time, Li Jie finally spoke, “Madam Boss, I said, you really don’t plan on telling the boss about this?”
Hearing this, An Le nervously clutched his phone, hesitating before saying, “I… I…”
Li Jie said as he drove, “I think if the boss knew your eyes weren’t good, he’d feel even sorrier for you.”
Even sorrier for him?
An Le hoped so, but he wasn’t sure. He pursed his lips, “Let’s wait. Let’s talk after the surgery.”
Let’s talk after the surgery.
If his eyes recovered somewhat, then there was no need to tell Lu Heng.
If they didn’t recover, then he couldn’t continue to deceive Lu Heng. Lu Heng had the right to know.
Li Jie nodded, “Okay.”
“Actually, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. The boss is the kind of person who, once he’s good to someone, will treasure them and cherish them. He won’t mind.”
Li Jie felt that both of them had pitiful experiences. Being together was mutual comfort, but although they clearly liked and admired each other, something seemed to be between them.
Lu Heng didn’t dare to reveal his flaws to An Le, and An Le didn’t dare to reveal his flaws to Lu Heng.
They were in love across a chasm neither was willing to cross.
An Le looked at the back of Li Jie’s head, silently praying that what Li Jie said was true.
But the probability of him not minding and minding was fifty-fifty. Before the surgery, he really didn’t have the courage to tell Lu Heng.
But since Li Jie kindly advised him, he still nodded, “Thank you, Li Jie.”
“You’re welcome.”
Li Jie sighed, “However, Gu Chen has run into you at the hospital twice now. That’s a little strange.”
An Le looked up, questioningly asking, “What’s strange?”
He also vaguely felt uncomfortable, but because Gu Chen was Lu Heng’s uncle, he couldn’t say anything.
Li Jie said, “He doesn’t have that much free time.”
If the first encounter at the hospital was because Gu Chen was with his friend, Dr. Li, and Dr. Li knew about An Le’s condition and specifically came to check on him, and Gu Chen happened to come along, that was still reasonable.
But now, An Le was seeing a doctor, and Gu Chen was still there. That was unreasonable.
Gu Chen was an insider in the alpha power circle. Except for Gu Qian, almost everyone in the family was involved in politics, and they were also very successful in the business world.
Therefore, Gu Chen should be very busy and have no time to encounter An Le at the hospital.
An Le didn’t understand, “He’s very busy?”
Li Jie nodded, “Yes. In short, him frequently appearing around you isn’t a good sign. Keep an eye on him.”
Although he would tell Lu Heng about this in detail when he got back, An Le also needed to be reminded. Otherwise, if An Le knew nothing, he would easily be bullied.
An Le nodded and said gratefully, “Thank you, Li Jie.”
“Tsk!”
Li Jie was a little helpless, “Don’t call me Li Jie anymore; it’s too easily misunderstood. How about this? When Lu Heng isn’t around, call me Ge (older brother). When Lu Heng is around, call me whatever.”
Such a pitiful omega, he felt sorry for him.
Anyway, he was Lu Heng’s wife; it was fine for him to take care of him a bit, treating him like a younger brother.
“Thank you, Ge.”
An Le knew Li Jie was a good person. From the moment they met, he had been very kind to him and had helped him in many ways. Now, he was even disregarding Lu Heng’s face to warn him about Gu Chen.
He was truly grateful to Li Jie.
Li Jie waved it off casually.
An Le secretly texted Xiao Xiao in the back seat, telling him everything that happened today.
Xiao Xiao immediately took leave, planning to accompany An Le during the surgery.
After returning home, An Qiang laughed happily, “You’re back. Sit. I have something to tell you.”
An Le originally wanted to go directly upstairs but hesitated before sitting down.
Li Jie went to the kitchen to find something to eat and drink, leaving An Qiang and An Le alone.
An Qiang had contacted that person. That person said it didn’t matter that An Le was permanently marked. A marked omega was even more challenging, and he had been waiting for so many years; it was unbearable not to get him.
However, his request wasn’t just a few meetings and encounters. He wanted An Le to be with him long-term.
But considering An Le’s situation, he could let An Le arrange his own time, and he wouldn’t leave any suspicious marks or scents on An Le.
Knowing this news, An Qiang was so excited he couldn’t sleep. Because of this, he could simultaneously hold two major resources. Excited, he didn’t even take painkillers today, waiting for An Le to come back.
An Le looked unhappy, “What is it?”
“That person said he doesn’t mind that you’re already permanently marked. He said you can arrange your own time to see him. He won’t leave any marks or scents on you, and Lu Heng won’t find out. You’ll be safe.”
An Qiang smiled, “Don’t rush to refuse. Let’s arrange a meeting tomorrow, and you can decide then, okay?”
“No.”
An Le shook his head. He hated this kind of thing, and Lu Heng had said that no matter what, he should refuse at least three times before agreeing.
Therefore, he firmly shook his head, “No. I’m going to the hospital tomorrow for eye surgery.”
The intention to refuse was clear. An Le’s eyes were slightly red, his fists clenched tightly, as if he would immediately make a fuss if An Qiang disagreed.
An Qiang didn’t dare to provoke this cash cow, An Le, so he coaxed him gently, “Okay, okay, surgery, surgery. After your surgery, I’ll arrange for you to meet him, okay?”
“Don’t get angry. I’m your father, aren’t I doing this for your own good?”
“Also, don’t tell Lu Heng about this. With his personality, even if nothing happened between you and others, he won’t believe you.”
“He will suspect you, distrust you, and in the end, you’ll be the only one suffering.”
An Qiang deliberately made the consequences sound serious, portraying Lu Heng as an unreasonable, jealous, scumbag alpha.
Although An Le knew it was false, he was still startled and didn’t dare to utter a sound.
An Qiang was very satisfied with his current appearance, smiling and continuing, “So, keeping it from him is good for both of us.”
An Le didn’t speak. An Qiang asked again, “By the way, I haven’t asked you yet, what’s wrong with your eyes?”
Everything was fine during the years he was at home. Why did he suddenly go blind?
An Qiang didn’t care about An Le’s health. Even if An Le went to the hospital for a check-up, he didn’t look at An Le’s medical report. He only knew the doctor’s summary: An Le’s left eye was blind, and even if he had surgery, the chances of recovery were very small.
Hearing An Qiang ask this question, An Le instantly bit his lip, finally swallowing the resentment and anger he wanted to express, saying nothing, and turning to go upstairs.
In the afternoon, Lu Heng arrived at the An family’s living room on time.
He politely greeted An Qiang and then went to his room to find his omega.
“Sir.”
Seeing Lu Heng return, An Le quickly went over and whispered, “He talked to me about that person again today.”
Lu Heng hugged him and sat down, “What did he say?”
An Le was a little embarrassed to talk about this, but since it was Lu Heng asking, even if he was embarrassed, he told him everything.
Lu Heng’s face turned green after listening. If it weren’t for their plan, he would have gone downstairs and beaten An Qiang to the hospital.
Trying to cuckold him was one thing, but also trying to get money from him? This man had really gone too far.
However, what use was An Qiang’s scheming? Didn’t some of his many lovers betray him?
Lu Heng smiled, “I have a business trip tomorrow and will be back in three days. You’ll have to stay safe alone these few days.”
He didn’t want to go on a business trip either, but An Le was having surgery, so he couldn’t stay. Otherwise, An Le would be scared.
“It’s okay.”
An Le shook his head. Although Gu Chen’s behavior was strange, getting Lu Heng to go on a business trip was indeed to his liking.
Lu Heng leaned down and kissed An Le’s head, lowering his voice, “Then let me deepen my mark on you before I leave, the kind of scent that won’t fade for three days.”
An Le blushed and whispered, “Okay.”
…
The next morning, Lu Heng left.
An Le found it hard to get out of bed. Only when Dr. Li called to urge him to go to the hospital did he reluctantly drag his weary body to be taken to the hospital by Li Jie.
Xiao Xiao had already arrived. As soon as An Le arrived, he ran over, “Why did you come so late? What’s wrong with your face? Didn’t you sleep last night?”
An Le blushed instantly, then lowered his head without speaking.
Xiao Xiao instantly understood what he meant and laughed along.
In the hospital, An Le was immediately taken into the operating room. An hour later, An Le came out.
Xiao Xiao helped him to the ward and sat by the bed, preparing to pour some hot water for An Le.
Suddenly, An Le’s phone rang.
But because he had just had surgery, his eyes were covered with bandages, and even his right eye was blocked from view.
So, An Le closed his eyes and nervously felt around the bed. Not finding anyone, he softly called, “Xiao Xiao, help me check my phone. See who sent the message.”
“Xiao Xiao went to get water. I’ll check for you.”
“It’s Xiao Heng.”
A low voice sounded in his ear.
An Le froze. It was Gu Chen’s voice. He instantly remembered what Li Jie had said yesterday and was so scared he didn’t dare to move. He secretly opened his right eye, looking at Gu Chen through the gap in the bandage, his voice weak, “Uncle, you… how did you get here?”
