55: Chapter 55 The Tragic Female Insect's Nobleman 17
As he walked out of the Imperial Hospital, he was blocked by someone he very much did not want to see: Mervyn, the Military Zerg.
Bo Yisi looked at the Military Zerg in front of him with an unfriendly expression, but he didn't dare to harm him.
"Is something the matter?"
His tone was very flat.
Mervyn didn't care. As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, he had inquired about His Highness's residence, but for several days in a row, he had no way of seeing His Highness. His heart grew increasingly worried, so he had no choice but to intercept Bo Yisi.
"I want to see His Highness Nash Carlisle."
His tone was a bit anxious.
Bo Yisi felt very uncomfortable, but since he was carrying His Highness's Zerg Egg, he needed to maintain a pleasant mood.
"There's no need for you to worry about His Highness. I am taking very good care of him. Furthermore, I am already carrying His Highness's Zerg Egg."
Mervyn seemed to freeze in place because of this sudden news.
"You are carrying His Highness's Zerg Egg."
He unconsciously repeated the other's words. He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart; it was like loss, like envy, and yet also like being happy for His Highness.
"That's right. This is the report, so please do not come to disturb us again in the future."
As Bo Yisi spoke, he casually waved the report in front of Mervyn a few times.
But even that was enough for Mervyn to see it clearly. His heart relaxed slightly; it seemed Bo Yisi was sincere.
Bo Yisi was already special to His Highness, and now that they had a shared hatchling, His Highness should be happy!
Mervyn looked at the Military Zerg before him. Perhaps there were some things he should let him know. His Highness always acted without speaking, so it could only be up to him to say it.
"Let's find a place to talk. I have some things about His Highness I want to tell you."
Bo Yisi didn't really want to go, but he didn't want to miss a single thing regarding His Highness, so he followed Mervyn into a random cafe.
Twenty minutes later, Mervyn felt he had finished what he wanted to say, so he stood up and left the cafe.
His Highness was doing well and would soon have his own hatchling. Now that Bo Yisi knew everything His Highness had done for him, he would only treat His Highness better. He could finally feel a bit more at ease.
Bo Yisi didn't know how he walked out of the cafe. Mervyn had no reason to lie to him, and His Highness had asked similar questions before, but he hadn't thought much of it at the time.
Until Mervyn left, he maintained a normal expression, terrified that Mervyn would sense anything was wrong. He knew all too well how this Zerg Egg had come to be.
With Mervyn's personality, if he knew, he would definitely take His Highness away, and His Highness would surely leave without looking back.
And this time, he had no reason or courage left to stop His Highness. He only now realized that the harm he had caused His Highness was too deep and too heavy.
From beginning to end, His Highness had never wronged him, never abandoned him, and even liked him, favored him.
It was just that he didn't say it, so His Highness didn't know.
So His Highness gave him what he thought he wanted most: the right track.
Returning to the military, being reinstated to his original post, being appreciated by his superiors, every single promotion—all of it was His Highness's continuous effort and sacrifice.
When he achieved fame and success, His Highness fell to rock bottom because of him.
Not only did he not reach out to steady him, but instead, he felt the fall wasn't heavy enough and personally pushed him down hard. At that time, His Highness must have been very disappointed in him!
Even the hatred and rejection he thought he felt was actually just His Highness suffering from severe psychological trauma because of his violation; it was a subconscious reaction, not His Highness's true intention.
And inside the hovercar, His Highness's struggle, fragility, helplessness, terror, and pleas were all ignored and unheard by him. His secondary trauma was undoubtedly the heaviest blow to His Highness!
His Highness was right; he had built his own pleasure and satisfaction upon His Highness's pain. He was despicable, selfish, dark, and pathological; he truly couldn't compare to Mervyn at all.
He didn't dare to imagine how sad His Highness must have been then. Bo Yisi felt that he had already lost His Highness! His Highness would never like him again in this lifetime.
The thing he wanted most had clearly been in his hands eight years ago, but because of his own ignorance and self-righteousness, he had lost it with his own hands. Bo Yisi was in such regret and pain that it was unbearable.
The joy from the arrival of the Zerg Egg had already vanished completely. He had already made His Highness utterly loathe him, so would His Highness still like this Zerg Egg that he was gestating?
Bo Yisi drove the hovercar, speeding all the way back to the villa, and soon arrived in front of the second-floor bedroom door.
But he just stood at the door pacing back and forth. That door, which he could easily push open on any other day, now felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
After a long time, Bo Yisi still pushed the door open and walked in with extremely light steps. The Male Zerg was sitting quietly as usual.
In the past, he would also feel that His Highness like this made his heart ache, so he had always tried every means to hope His Highness would be a bit happier.
Now knowing the truth, the heartache was even greater. It turned out all of this was caused by him; it was he who had ruined His Highness.
Bo Yisi walked over step by step and then, as usual, knelt on one knee at the Male Zerg's feet.
Only this time, he knelt more devoutly, as if carrying a sense of atonement, his face full of pain and regret, his eyes overflowing with heartache and love for the Male Zerg.
Bo Yisi knew clearly in his heart that he was not worthy of carrying His Highness's Zerg Egg, and His Highness might not like this accident either, but he still gently handed over the report in his hand.
"Your Highness, thank you for your grace in allowing me to carry your Zerg Egg."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhan's expression lost a bit of control. He lowered his eyes to look at the tall and powerful Military Zerg, focusing especially on his firm and tight lower abdomen.
"An Zerg Egg? Me? How is that possible?"
The shock and disbelief in his words caused the pain on Bo Yisi's face to deepen. Was His Highness questioning whether this Zerg Egg was his?
Bo Yisi hurriedly and anxiously explained.
"Your Highness, it was that time in the car. There is a time on the report; Your Highness can calculate it. I guarantee with my life that this Zerg Egg is absolutely Your Highness's Bloodline."
Lu Zhan felt that everything before him was utterly absurd. To him, that was nothing but a nightmare he wanted to forget forever!
He didn't even know what mindset to use to view this Zerg Egg. Its existence seemed to constantly remind him of his dignity and pride shattered all over the floor, as well as the helplessness and humiliation of being forcefully violated.
His heart couldn't tolerate it at all, yet how innocent was this Zerg Egg? This was still his first hatchling.
Lu Zhan suddenly began to laugh. As he laughed, tears unconsciously slid down from the corners of his eyes.
"Your Highness, it was my fault. It was I who hurt you. I beg you not to be like this; my heart aches so much."
Bo Yisi looked at the Male Zerg whose emotions were fluctuating violently. The pain and regret in his heart were about to drown him.
Because of his harm, His Highness had clearly loathed him completely and would certainly not like this Zerg Egg in his belly. The unborn hatchling was being implicated by a female father like him, suffering an undeserved calamity.
As if he had heard something funny, Lu Zhan chuckled twice. His silver eyes quietly gazed at the Military Zerg kneeling at his feet.
"Bo Yisi, you say that seeing me like this makes your heart ache.
Then when I was being slandered and framed by the Empire, and cursed and spurned by all the citizens, why didn't you feel a single bit of heartache?
Why did you, like all the other insects, cruelly and coldly abandon me and cast me aside?"
Bo Yisi was speechless, because these were all things he had brought upon himself through his own self-destructive actions. He so badly wanted to go back to the past and directly stab his past self to death.
Or if he had timely protected His Highness the moment he received the news, would their current outcome not be like this?
