Chapter 87: ’People In Love Are So Weird.’

"Felix, you stay outside till I end our talk. I have some important things to ask him. He will be uncomfortable if you are also here."

Lucas whispered to Felix in a hurry as Asher was waking up.

Next, Felix left but not before trying to reason with Lucas which he failed at miserably.

Lucas didn’t want to kick him out, yet, at the same time, he didn’t want to force Asher to confess the truth in front of Felix. In Lucas’s head, this medicine thing felt like a lie. However, whether it’s true or not, there must be a reason why Asher kept it that way. So, he would discuss it with Asher then give the choice to Asher about moving on with Felix.

That way, everyone get to decide what they want to do without creating a mess or making anyone panic.

So, this resulted in Felix having to leave.

Felix impatiently stood outside as the door was closed and locked, leaving Lucas and Asher alone inside.

"Here..."

Lucas gave a glass of water to Asher who got up with a frown, looking at Lucas with confusion. But Asher took the glass, drank it in one go and handed it back to him all while curiously looking at Lucas.

"Where is the duke?"

Asher asked and Lucas scoffed before pulling the chair close to Asher and sitting down.

"He is outside. I have something to talk about with you. When it ends, he can come in. I want to talk to you alone about something very serious."

Lucas said and showed the pill bottle to Asher. In response to this, Lucas saw Asher going pale and trying to explain something to him.

"Don’t bother. I know what these are. I want to know one thing now. Are you a real omega or not? Is it really because of a side effect from some medicine that you are like this? You have to tell me the truth.

Because, I have the pill you need but I need to confirm the truth first. These cheap pills could kill you if you take them for a long time. So trust me. I will keep everything a secret. Please tell me the truth."

Lucas calmly and gently assured Asher for sometime after his questions had made Asher panic. His explanation and calm gesture seemed to have finally put Asher at ease. But Asher was still hesitating which Lucas didn’t mind at all. He was patient.

So he waited for Asher to finally gather the courage.

"I am a real omega."

Asher gave up trying to make up more lies because he had no way out now. Asher had no idea how things escalated this way. According to the last time when Karl talked with him, sir Lucas didn’t seem to have known about this medicine story. The duke seemed to have straight told them he was an omega.

So now, how did sir Lucas know?

Did the duke finally explain it to him?

How was this pill bottle discovered by sir Lucas?

It was embarrassing that he was once proud of his lie when a physician might definitely see through his story and he would look dumb for making up such a story.

"I see. You’re an omega. Asher, you shouldn’t have gone for these pills. These are dangerous and can make you infertile forever. I don’t think anyone wants that to happen. So...here."

Lucas pulled out a little bottle out of his bag and handed it over to Asher. It also had some pills similar to what Asher had consumed before.

"These are also birth control pills. But, I made these myself. You can rely on one pill for a whole month. So don’t take them regularly like the previous ones."

Lucas handed over the bottle to Asher who was still in a daze and trying to catch up with the situation.

"Sir Lucas...made these?"

Asher asked as he looked at the bottle in amazement.

"Mmm...I met a few ladies who also had the same problem as you. These cheap pills are prescribed by local physicians to a lot of ladies who went asking for them. The ingredient used on this can be harmful and eventually poisonous which result in body ache, headaches and these faints. I think you have reached your limit and that’s why you fainted."

Lucas explained and Asher listened to him in silence, then nodding as he understood.

"...So...these must be expensive then."

Asher said and Lucas chuckled.

"They are free for you. I will get my payment from that guy outside."

Lucas said with a playful tone and Asher immediately jumped up trying to comment.

"No no! The duke shouldn’t pay! I will pay. I can. I will buy more when I get my salary. I can pay myself!"

As Asher said, Lucas got up, let out a sigh and placed his hand on Asher’s shoulder in a friendly manner.

"Whose fault do you think you have to take these pills, hm?"

"....Ah...Bu-"

"You know the answer and you know why I will charge him."

Asher pondered and tried to argue but was soon shut down by Lucas.

"He will pay so don’t worry about it. I can give him discounts too. Alas, these are not expensive so stop worrying about him... Instead, worry about yourself. I don’t want to intervene in the middle of you two and whatever relationship you two have.

About you being a real omega, it’s your choice whether you want to tell him or not. As his friend, I know him very well. You can trust him. But it’s yours to decide. I will let you deal with it. But let me give you some advice. Things will get more complicated if you choose to lie more. Think about that too. That’s it. Please take care of yourself."

Lucas advised Asher and then gave him a pat in the shoulder before going to leave.

As soon as the door was opened, Asher heard sir Lucas talk to someone and then the footsteps coming closer.

’It must be the duke.’

Yes, it was the duke who had to wait outside worrying if Lucas was lecturing Asher to take care of himself. Sometimes, Lucas could be scary and harsh with his advice. What if Asher, who wasn’t used to it, got scared?

And... Is Asher okay?

"Asher..."

The duke immediately walked in even before Lucas could step outside. Lucas rolled his eyes in annoyance seeing him like some dog with separation anxiety.

’People in love are so weird. They act like if they stay away for one second, the other will disappear forever.’
