Chapter 280: Richard, don’t be a dumbass
"Are you seeing anyone?" Andrew asked and Richard nearly choked.
"Why is that important? Does Max know you’re here?" Richard demanded instead and Andrew laughed.
"I called him after I called Dr. Liu. Yes, he knows I’m here, and it’s important since I remember that I wanted to get to my partner when I first manifested. Do you have anyone like that?" Andrew asked and watched as Richard’s face turned an even darker shade of red and he swallowed.
"No. I’ve been single for years. Got broken up with before Rose’s wedding." Ouch. That had to hurt, but that was something they could worry about later.
"Okay. Good. Now, let the people here help. I’m sure you’re more familiar with who they are." Andrew said, turning Richard’s attention to the group of people with the stretcher. A few of them waved and Richard groaned. Andrew was holding him up, so he was able to raise his hands to his face, covering it entirely.
"Oh fucking damnit." He swore and Andrew grinned.
"What? Never expected that it would be you? It’s okay. It happens to all of us. No thinking of yourself as a research subject until you get through this." Andrew warned Richard, and he grumbled.
"Why not? This is fascinating." Richard complained and Andrew snorted.
"No. It’s not. It’s hellish, especially without a partner. They’re going to give you some meds and help you, and take you to a place where you won’t be in danger." Andrew told him and Richard froze.
"Oh hell no. You’re going to treat me like the other omegas, aren’t you?" Andrew grinned.
"Like the others? Hell no." Andrew leaned in, grinning. "You’re getting the same treatment as my Mom." Richard groaned, shoving Andrew’s face away.
