Trapped In A Novel As The Breeding Mate For Four Powerful Alphas Chapter 350: Then, have you talked about it with him?

Jin-Yeok’s assistant, Doosik handled the paynt while I watched.

He also collected the slavery contract from the host and all was settled. While they did that, I felt a lump in my throat.

It was disgusting how they could trade people like commodities.

They had no rights, no say, and had been sold against their will.

It was horrible to the point that it felt like I was going to throw up.

Ah, no, I think this was just being hungry.

"Jo-Pil," Jin-Yeok called. "It’s done." He said and I nodded.

"I... I’ll leave the rest to you. So make the right call."

I hope he interpreted that right. I wanted him to take care of the slaves, maybe give them jobs. I... I didn’t want them to live shabby lives, even if their will had been broken.

Ah, co to think of it, the maids at ho, were they once slaves?

They were employed by Seo-Jun so only he might know.

But that aside, it would make sense since they were almost lifeless, as if they had no life. As if they couldn’t live unless they were told to live.

Broken minds and will...

I suddenly got a call and looked at my phone.

It was Min-Cheol.

How odd, this boy. When did he start calling?

"Hyung, how are you over there?" He asked and I could hear the concern in his tone.

"Well, nothing much. Why? Are you worried about ?"

He nodded heavily.

"That old man took you to an uncomfortable place, I know it. I just hope you don’t feel weird and bad." He said and I sighed softly.

So this was indeed what they were warning about.

"Well, I saw the slaves but don’t worry, it’s all fine now," I said. "And I don’t feel weird. Not anymore, at least."

"You should leave that old man and co ho so I can hold you to sleep. Then, you’ll have nothing to worry about."

Ah, right.

We created the trend of sleeping in my master’s room just last night. This is just the beginning, it seems.

"Well, alright but..." I paused, wondering if it was still too early to ask this. "Have you thought about what I said about Seo-Jun?"

"Ah, that? I don’t plan to hate him anymore." He said with a cheerful tone that my brow arched instinctively. He sounded almost too bright for this topic.

"Then, have you talked about it with him?"

"Well, I wanted to. In fact, I planned to do it tonight but..."

Is he just making excuses because he doesn’t want to?

"Tell ," I folded my arms. "Why haven’t you talked to him yet?"

"Well, he’s not exactly in a state where I can have a talk with him." He said.

"Why? Did sothing happen?"

"Right now, he’s unconscious and the doctors are treating him but he’s not showing any sign of recovering. It’s really bad."

"What?!" I exclaid, shocked, and Jin-Yeok turned, worried at my sudden outburst. "Why... Why are you only telling this now? Is it severe? He’s not dying, is he?"

Min-Cheol went silent. Hearing worry about Seo-Jun so much, even when he was the one talking to him, hit a jealous nerve, and he didn’t feel like answering.

Then, he sighed, deciding not to be too childish since he knew how much I cared. If he were the one sick, I would probably react the sa way... Right?

"He’s not in a very critical condition but his fever won’t go down." He said. "For now, Hyung, co ho and see for yourself. I don’t think I can have this conversation with you on the phone."

"Ah, sorry." I quickly apologized. "I didn’t an to react like that, Little Min. I’m just worried, you know that."

"Yes, Hyung. You’re such a kind-hearted and warm person. I know you’d react like that regardless of who was sick so I don’t mind."

But that’s not what your earlier tone said. He’s jealous, I can feel it.

"Sorry, Little Min. I’ll co ho now. Just keep updated if things are getting worse."

"And what would you do then, Hyung?" He asked, causing to pause. "You’re not a doctor so please don’t stress yourself too much about this and let the doctors handle it. It’ll be an issue if you faint from worrying too much."

"Yes, right. Sorry."

"Hyung, don’t apologize."

But I felt like apologizing. Min-Cheol’s tone scared for so reason. We weren’t seeing face to face but I could tell he wasn’t smiling.

If he were in front of , he would at least try to smile, even if it was fake. That would feel much more better than this, where it feels like he’s frowning and wants to kill soone.

I hope he doesn’t do sothing stupid before I get there.

He says he no longer hates Seo-Jun, but it’s not like you can choose not to hate soone, and the hate magically disappears completely... There was still sothing and all it needed was a trigger.

I... I didn’t want us to go down that lane.

"Regardless," I said, rolling my eyes down to the floor. "I hope it’s not sothing contagious. Little Min, you have to take care of yourself."

Let’s show him I care about him as well and reduce his anger induced by jealousy.

"I don’t want you to fall sick as well."

I could feel the shift in his breathing and how he blushed even if I couldn’t see him.

Yes, for this kid, you just need to give him as much attention as needed and he’ll be all sunshine and roses.

"Don’t worry, Hyung. I’m completely healthy." He said, with a cheerful tone. "You don’t have to worry about , haha."

But it did feel like he wanted to worry about him rather than the one who was actually sick.

"Okay, I’m coming now."

But a high fever that wouldn’t go down? He wasn’t going in a rut, was he?

I hope not.

I an, if he were, the doctors would know. So, the fact that they hadn’t called was either that it wasn’t a rut or... It was indeed a rut and my masters didn’t want to take responsibility.

No, if it was indeed a rut then Min-Cheol wouldn’t ask to hurry and co back ho.

Then, it was just a high fever.

I pressed my hand on my forehead, worried. It was no wonder his temperature felt off days back and how he shut himself away.

He knew he was falling sick.

That dumbo... Why didn’t he get treatnt on ti if he knew he was getting sick?

Then, Jin-Yeok brushed my strands gently, causing to raise my head.

"What’s the problem?" He asked and I pursed my lips.

"Seo-Jun is sick," I said. "I think I have to go ho now."

Jin-Yeok went silent for a while but then closed his eyes.

"Alright, but I’m sorry I can’t go back with you. I have to get to work as soon as possible so I can make your wish co true faster," he caressed my face and I blushed.

Right away?

But I didn’t like it for so reason.

He doesn’t want to co ho with ?

My eyes fell sadly.

"Alright. But please be careful," u held his hand and then slid his glove off, interlocking our fingers to his amazent. His touch was soft and so was mine. "I don’t want you to get hurt, Jin-Yeok, so please play safely." I kissed his hand.

"I will, Jo-Pil." He cupped my face, the warmth of his hand slipping into my skin as he kissed my lips and then my forehead.

He was so affectionate.

"Get ho safely. You might not see for a few days but I’ll keep in touch. I will only show my face once I have accomplished what you asked of ."

I felt dismayed. Why did he have to make it a punishnt?

I closed my eyes and nodded.

This must be his way of showing his determination. Let’s not undermine it.
