Vol. 1 Chapter 10.3 - Trapped in the living hell

They returned to the estate and Klopp laid Aelock on his bed. His water had broken during the ride, so Klopp’s clothes also became a mess. It wasn’t time for the baby to be born yet, but it seemed to happen because of the sexual violence by those several men. He resented the fact that he couldn’t kill those bastards more painfully.

“Martha! Help me. You, call the doctor!”

After ordering one of the maids, Klopp turned towards Aelock. His face, which had been groaning all the way from the carriage, was now so pale as if he would die at any moment. Martha had come running and was shocked at the sight of how filthy Aelock had become. She stood still for a moment before running outside.

“Bring warm water and towels now! And new sheets and nightwear too! Everything!”

After yelling at another maid, she pushed Klopp away from Aelock’s side.

“Stay over there for now. Holding his hand won’t be of any use now.”

“Martha.”

“We need to save him, don’t we? Then please cooperate, so I can do my job.”

Klopp was pushed away from the bed, and until the doctor arrived, she tended to Aelock’s wounds. Seeing Klopp’s messy clothes and realizing that Aelock’s water had broken, the experienced housekeeper patted Aelock’s cheek to wake him up.

“You can’t lose your consciousness. Wake up! Here. Bring more towels.”

At her resolute command, the other maids took the towels soaked with blood away and gave her new ones. Meanwhile, another maid approached Klopp and asked him to change his clothes, but he refused. He would not leave the room until he confirmed that Aelock was safe.

The doctor arrived shortly thereafter and entered the room, horrified that a full-term omega had been sexually abused by several men.

“When did the water break?”

“Not that long ago.”

“Oh no, this is a very big problem. It’s going to be tough.”

At Martha’s words, the doctor looked up from the white sheet covering Aelock’s lower body and he clicked his tongue.

“The bleeding is not stopping. If we don’t take the baby out quickly, both of them will be in danger.”

The doctor rolled up his sleeves and looked at Klopp before asking.

“Are you the alpha?”

Before the serious-looking doctor could say anything more, Klopp spoke up first.

“Save them both.”

“I can’t guarantee that. As you can see, the baby is premature, and too much blood has already been lost.”

“If you can’t save them, I won’t just stand by.”

“There’s no point in threatening me. I may be a doctor, but I’m not God. But I’ll do my best.”

Ignoring the angry Klopp, the doctor quickly went back to Aelock’s side and gave commands to Martha. Following his commands, Martha prepared clean scissors, silk thread, and warm towels. In the meantime, there was nothing that Klopp could do. It was the same as before. All he could do was wait. The doctor worked on Aelock with quick hands.

“Since the birthing omega has lost consciousness, we have no choice but to push the baby out forcibly. Don’t just stand there, come here and help hold him down.”

Klopp obediently followed his instructions. The doctor folded the towel a little and put it over Aelock. He then asked Aelock to tightly grab Aelock’s already sagging shoulders.

“It’s no use if you press them so loosely. Press tightly.”

“His shoulders are dislocated.”

“It’s nothing compared to the pain he’s about to experience. Just hold on tight because I’m going to pull hard.”

“What are you trying to do?”

“We first have to take out the baby first, before I can save him or not.”

With that, the doctor deeply lowered his body as if he was going to climb onto the bed. Then, he placed both hands on the bloated upper belly of the pregnant omega, before giving signals to Klopp who was pressing Aelock’s shoulder, and Martha who was waiting between his legs.

“Let’s begin.”

He pressed his full weight down on Aelock’s belly. At that moment, Aelock, who had been lying unconscious, opened his eyes wide and his whole body tensed. Even Klopp was surprised at how hard he was trying to stand up and had to press his shoulders down.

“Aaaaaack!”

Despite the towel in his mouth, a terrible scream erupted in a delayed response.

Klopp, white-faced and shaking, embraced Aelock’s broken and thrashing body, his eyes wide and flipping over.

“Are you really doing it right? He’s dying right now!”

“He’s not in the position to push the baby properly, so I have to push the baby out with force. Hold on tight. If you back off here, both the baby and this person will die.”

The doctor gave him a brutally cold response and continued to press down on the belly. From the top, to the middle, then bottom. It was hard to tell as Aelock was covered by the sheets, but seeing Martha’s face turning pale, the situation must not be doing good. The maid who continued to hand Martha clean towels from the side looked like she could pass out at any moment.

“Doctor, I can see the head!”

“Really? Keep pushing, and when the head comes out, grab and pull the baby out. Do you understand?”

“Yes!”

While a few more thrashings followed, sweat broke out on Klopp’s forehead. Amidst the piercing screams, no one said anything. A moment later, after using so many towels, Martha looked at the doctor and slipped her hands under the sheets, and she pulled out a very small baby. At the same time, the doctor released the two hands that had been pressing down on the belly. Aelock’s thrashing also stopped. He gradually relaxed and stretched his body out. Klopp breathed heavily while holding him. He didn’t even think about looking at the baby, thinking that it was finally over.

The doctor cut the small umbilical cord of the premature baby and left a belly button before handing the baby over to Martha. She wiped away the tears that had formed in her eyes as she let out a relieved sigh. She tried to give the baby to Klopp, but he shook his head.

“Quickly, save this person first.”

Aelock’s breathing was very weak in Klopp’s arms.

“It’s not too late yet. If we stitch up the wounds and stop the bleeding, he’ll live.”

The doctor immediately took out a needle and thread from his medical bag, sterilizing them in boiling water. Then he pulled the soaked sheets away and was about to sew up the torn wound when he blinked a few times and put down the forceps he had picked up with a deep sigh. He then began to feel around inside with his hand.

At that moment, Aelock opened his eyes halfway again and began to make a whimpering sound, as if he didn’t have the strength to scream anymore. His indescribable anguished face was neither crying nor laughing. Aelock struggled, tearing at Klopp’s arm, which was holding him down, and writhed in agony. The sound of his terrifying cry sent a chill down Klopp’s spine.

“What’s going on?”

“Oh no, the babies are twins. This way, we won’t be able to stop the bleeding.”

The doctor looked at Klopp with a stern face, then shook his head. Klopp’s mind went blank, and he didn’t know what to say. While he was speechless, Aelock let out another horrific scream. The second baby was starting to come out.

Finally, the other baby came out. The second baby was much smaller than the first, so the doctor had to perform artificial resuscitation to help the baby breathe. Eventually, the baby survived, but Klopp didn’t have time to hold the frail creature. Aelock was dying.

“His body is too weak, and he has suffered severe mental and physical trauma. Even if he hadn’t gone through that incident, an omega male would still get into this condition, as you’ve impregnated him five times. That’s why I advised you to use birth control in the first place.”

Clicking his tongue, the doctor shook his head and added.

“I’ll do everything I can, but honestly, it’s hopeless. If he survives, it’ll be a miracle. It’s better for you to be prepared.”

Klopp said nothing. Martha and the other servants were distracted because of the sudden delivery of the babies. Having nothing else to do, the doctor left, leaving Klopp alone with Aelock in the now silent room.

In Klopp’s arms, Aelock was already like a corpse. It was doubtful if he was even breathing. Klopp held his limp hand, placed it on his chest, and stroked his forehead with his other hand. At that moment, Aelock’s eyelids trembled slightly, then he let out a small breath.

“Aelock?”

When Klopp called his name, Aelock slowly opened his eyes. His eyes, which were staring blankly at the air, gradually narrowed their pupils and titled his head toward Klopp. He blinked very slowly, his full lips barely moving. Aelock’s voice was weak, almost inaudible if Klopp didn’t listen closely.

“…The baby?”

“They’re twins. They both survived.”

“…Good. Thank goodness.”

The voice was as light as air, devoid of any life, and Klopp struggled to suppress the overwhelming emotion that he felt. Otherwise, everything inexplicable would burst out all at once. Klopp chewed on his lip and stared at the ceiling for a moment, trying to catch his breath. He barely contained himself because he didn’t know how to feel at the fact that Aelock woke up and looked for his child first even after experiencing such a horrible thing.

Aelock had enough consciousness to realize that he was giving birth even when the onlookers were going crazy in the situation. You’re just really…

He swallowed the emotions that kept rising. He had to make him say something. Otherwise, he felt like he would die too.

“Why did you run away? None of this would have happened if you hadn’t run away.”

He didn’t intend to, but his criticisms still poured out. Aelock slowly closed his eyes, then opened them again and spoke up.

“…It hurt. Those people weren’t human. That was not… sex.”

“You idiot. You were raped by multiple people! That was a rape!”

Klopp couldn’t listen to Aelock anymore and his anger flared. Aelock’s eyes blinked again.

“I can’t feel my body.”

From how he had been talking nonsense from earlier, it seemed like Aelock was drifting in and out of consciousness. It was a miraculous situation that he was even able to speak. No matter how angry or accusatory Klopp got, it was useless.

“You’ve lost too much blood.”

Aelock looked at Klopp with slightly trembling eyes, then cast his gaze into the distance and said.

“Am I dying?”

“…Probably.”

“Ah.”

Aelock blinked again. Even though he had been told that his death was imminent, he didn’t show any sign of movement, or emotion or shed any tears. He closed and opened his eyes for a moment as if he was listening to someone else’s story. He looked at Klopp and gave a faint smile.

“Is this how Rayfiel died too?”

Did he still have the strength to be sarcastic even at this moment? Klopp felt like he couldn’t breathe due to overwhelming despair and frustration. He wondered when would this demon finally be satisfied with torturing his soul. What crime had he committed for Aelock to pick and choose only the cruelest things to do to him? He really wanted to go mad. Perhaps it would be better to go mad and forget about these indescribable emotions. The emotions that he had been holding back were starting to pour out.
