While the Lancaster family was waiting for the doctor to find out about Alex's condition, "Alex! My God! What happened to you?" asked Lila, who had just arrived with her friend Ted. "Miss Lila, what are you doing here?" asked Sebastian.
"Sebastian, I should be the one asking, what happened to your brother? It's been 4 days since I've been able to contact Alex. I came running as soon as I heard he was admitted to the hospital."
"Why is he all hurt like that?"
"Lila, we also want to know what happened. My brother suddenly went into a rut, and soon after we lost contact with him, and as soon as we arrived, he was in this condition," said Victoria with tears in her eyes.
Lila, Ted, Alex, Victoria, and Sebastian were childhood friends, so Victoria didn't think she should hide the incident from them. After all, Victoria considered her a trustworthy person.
"Victoria," Sebastian scolded quietly enough for only his sister to hear, while their father had a somber expression.
"Rut?" Lila said, turning pale and almost falling to the floor as Ted picked her up and held her in his arms.
"What do you intend to do now?" Ted said with a worried face, but with a hint of hope. If Alex got married, he would have a chance with Lila.
"That's what we want to know: how will your son take responsibility for what happened?" Gregory Ashford said with a cold face as he entered the room.
"Mr. Ashford, what are you doing here?" Eleanor Lancaster, Alex's mother, asked.
The Lancaster family was confused, as they still hadn't understood what had happened to Alex, but even so, the Ashford family owned a small company that wasn't even comparable to the Lancaster family's fortune.
Nathaniel had no intention of lowering himself before them, after all, the beta son they despised was their son's subordinate.
The Ashford family did not hide, nor did they intend to hide, the contempt they felt for Leo Ashford, who had been born a beta despite having an alpha father and an omega mother. It was rare for this to happen, but it was not impossible.
Alphas married omegas because they wanted to have more Alpha children, who made up 10% of the population and had greater physical strength and intelligence than the rest of the population.
Omegas, however, made up 2% of the population and were coveted for their great fertility, but omegas were considered the most delicate and fragile population.
The rest of the population was made up of betas; betas could marry other betas, alphas, and omegas, but they had little fertility. Alphas could not reproduce with other alphas, and omegas could not reproduce with other omegas either.
"I came to find out how your son will take responsibility for my omega son," Gregory said with a somber face.
After hearing this, there was nothing that Nathaniel didn't understand, angrily, but another option he said.
"Obviously, my son will take responsibility for yours." Nathaniel had no other option, they couldn't bear the scandal, and the company's shares wouldn't hold up.
Lila, with a pale face, looked like she was about to faint while Ted held her by the shoulders, while Victoria was furious, but there was nothing else she could do.
"Our family will give you a proper apology and proceed with the engagement" Nathaniel said as the Ashford family's face changed from gloomy to smiling.
"You don't need to send an apology, sir, on the contrary, the Ashford family owes you an apology" Leo said, walking through the door. Isabella Ashford, Leo's mother, slaps him in the face and says:
"What do you mean by that? Your boss slept with your brother and possibly got him pregnant, and you said he doesn't need to take responsibility? If it weren't for your brother's reputation to be upheld, we would have called the police by now!"
"Oliver stole the card for Alex's spare room key from me, who had it because I was his assistant, that's how he got into the room…"
"Silence! What happened already happened, the important thing is that Mr. Lancaster slept with your brother, and now he may already be pregnant with his child!"
"I'm going to transfer Oliver to a hospital I trust and we can have the engagement as soon as he recovers," said Gregory
"Enough, Dad! I've always had to sacrifice myself for my brothers, but there's a limit to everything!"
"You can come in, doctor" Leo said
"Hello, I'm the doctor in charge of Mr. Alex and Oliver. who is the patient's family? We need to talk about the test results."
"We are Oliver's family, we would like to talk about my brother's situation in private, and we would also like to request his transfer," said Ashford, Leo's younger brother and Oliver's older brother, happily, with a cold and calculating look.
Amelia Ashford, the Ashford family's eldest daughter, obviously nervous, tries to get the tests as quickly as possible.
Leo, however, manages to get them faster, because the doctor stopped by his side. After opening the test, he receives a slap from Amelia.
"You should be ashamed! This is your younger brother's test, Omega. You have no right to know your brother's private life!" said Gregory
"Brother?" Leo said with a mocking smile.
"I would rather not have a brother like that," said Leo with a bleeding lip, dodging Amelia's hand that wanted to take the test. And when Amelia raised her hand to slap her again in anger, she threw the test in the direction of the Lancasters.
Lila ends up taking the test, and Isabella, with a nervous look, asks Lila to return it. Lila, however, finding the situation suspicious, opens the test and declares.
"Oliver has been pregnant for a month, that's why the belly isn't obvious," she said, her eyes shining with hatred, looking at the Ashfords.
"How could my Omega baby son be pregnant? That's impossible, his first time was with Alex! Don't make up lies and don't get involved where it's not called girl!" says Isabella after snatching the test from Lila's hands.
"The test says that there are no traces of pheromones inside Oliver's body, that is, Alex didn't even touch him, Oliver only inhaled his pheromone, after a few days, the smell will go away," says Ted, who was behind Lila and saw everything.
Isabella, with a serious face, but obviously with panic in her eyes, goes to Leo and slaps him again. "How dare you? Oliver is your brother! How dare you forge these fake documents? They stayed in a hotel room in Rut for 4 days, it's impossible that Alex didn't touch him. He must have at least temporarily marked him if not permanently marked, what's written on this exam is impossible."
The situation that was once serious became even more serious.
