The Story Of Bunny And Fox

Vol 6 (Side Story 3): Chapter 4.1

"Have a safe trip. Whatever the result is will be fine." Ash says.

"Wait here, Ash. I'll be back." Karlyle nods.

"Just take your time."

Luther then leads him to the examination room. Entering a seperate room just for them, Luther opens the ultrasound machine. Karlyle sits down on the long patient chair. Luther is smiling, but it's hard to know why he's smiling.

"There are results already, but since you are an Alpha, I think we should do an abdominal ultrasound just in case. We need to be sure."

At the word "ultrasound", Karlyle squeezes the armchairs. Is he really pregnant? He silently follows the instruction and unbuttons his suit shirt, revealing his strong and clearly defined abdomen. Luther wears latex gloves and takes out the gel.

"It will be a little cold."

Luther says seriously and skillfully applies the medical gel. Then, he slowly places the transducer on his stomach. It's cold at the start, but he gradually gets used to it. Luther stares at the monitor for a long time. He checks his lower and upper abdomen thoroughly.

"Uhm, I can be sure now."

This time, Luther's smile has diminished a little. After organizing the device, he wipes the gel on his stomach. Karlyle adjusts his clothes and remains silent. Luther looks very careful. After hesitating for a few seconds, he makes eye contact with Karlyle.

"I'm not sure where to start....." He rubs his chin and smiles awkwardly.

"You are not pregnant, Young Master. I did the ultrasound in case the blood test didn't give correct results.... But you are not pregnant. Since you don't have a uterus."

Having said that, Luther closes his mouth and waits for Karlyle's reaction. It seems that he's worried about his feelings. Luther must be thinking that he would be disappointed since everyone was sure that he was pregnant. Then, his family coming here today is a waste now.

"Is that so?" The first thing that comes out of his mouth sounds so dumb.

"I understand."

This has been expected. He didn't feel anything in his stomach. There's no way he's pregnant. It's impossible, and he didn't want it anyway. It must have been his stomach acting up again.

"Are you okay, Young Master?"

Luther asks, his voice sounds worried. It's been so long since he saw him this worried. The last time was when Kyle was kidnapped and he had to take care of Kyle after he came back. Karlyle silently ponders how he should react.

"Are there any other abnormalities?"

"No, you are totally fine. You still have a little bit of gastritis, but it has improved incomparably compared to before."

"That must be it. My stomach must have been upset since I ate too much pie in a short time. It seems that I have caused misunderstandings and troubles for everyone. I even bothered you too, Luther."

Karlyle stands up with the usual stoic expression. He adjusts his clothes then looks at the watch on his wrist. It's past 12 o'clock now. His family must have come.

It would have been better if they hadn't come.

He thinks calmly. Everyone might be disappointed to know that he's not pregnant. Thinking about it makes his stomach throb a little.

"Are you really okay?"

"Yes. Alphas can't get pregnant anyway. And it isn't what I want, either."

Luther doesn't seem to believe him, but he doesn't say anything more. Luther has known him since forever, so he knows that Karlyle isn't one to express his feelings.
