Chapter 34: His Singing Voice
Chapter 34: His Singing Voice
Chris stiffly announced that the press conference was over and then turned around to leave, but the camera still caught his reddened eyes the moment he turned his head.
The screen went blank for a moment before a pop-up appeared: [Who the hell called Jorah a coward? Come out now, I promise I wont kill you.]
[I want to cry, I want to slap myself. I didnt know Jorah, and yet I still made up stories.]
[No point in talking about it. Go apologize.]
The topic of #Lets apologize to Jorah# quickly rose.
Another wave of people flooded into Jorahs StarNet page. When they saw the line My dream is to sing to the world on the homepage again, they all felt a trace of bitterness in their hearts.
They had previously mocked this line, but now they just wanted to go back in time and pull their heads off.
Wasnt their mockery a stab in the heart of Jorah, whose voice had been damaged?
The apologetic comments momentarily overshadowed the earlier taunts, and Ramiels earlier comments defending Jorah were put on top of the others.
It turns out that Jorah saved Dr. Ramiel in the beginning. If Jorah hadnt, and Dr. Ramiel had been arrested, would they be living such an easy life now?
[Crying in the toilet, I hope Jorah hasnt been watching StarNet these days. Otherwise, it would be hard for him to see our words when hes so badly injured]
[Now I know why Admiral Chris fell in love with Jorah. Im in love with him too. From now on, Chris isnt my husband, I am Jorahs wife!]
[Voice! The voice! Am I the only one who cares about Jorahs voice? Is it still curable? This voice cant go away ahhhh! By the way, did you guys record the previous song?]
[Fuck, I was so heartbroken, whod even think to record]
Someone had recorded it, and maybe theyd started with bad intentions, but they had given Jorah plenty of respect when they finally released it. They edited out the torture and only put the part where he sang on the Star Network.
The video was wildly forwarded as soon as it appeared, with everyone indulging themselves in his singing voice and even praising it as the most beautiful voice of the century.
Even though they had already seen it once, the crowd burst into tears when they saw the boys throat injury again. They frantically flocked to Jorahs StarNet page to praise and encourage him.
Just as everyone was expecting Jorah to get well and once again show this beautiful voice to the public, Ramiel released a statement. He not only revealed that he had adopted Jorah but also helplessly said that Jorahs voice was no longer recoverable.
Even though the outcome was expected, people were still heartbroken. They were even regretting why they were so harsh on Jorah in the first place.
With that unfinished national anthem, Jorahs name became famous throughout the Federation.
Only then did the general public learn that the reason the Federation was able to avert the crisis was not only because of Admiral Chris, not only because of those five brave soldiers of the First Legion but also because of this young man. He used his fragile back to carry the fate of the entire Federation.
Without paying attention to the renewed craze rising on the Star Network, it took Chris half a day to compose himself.
Seeing Chris, the housekeeper guarding the living room immediately stepped forward and bowed, General, Young Master Jorah has been awake for a whole day, would you like to check on him?
I, Chris was visibly nervous, Hows he doing? Did he eat? Dont let him read that nonsense on the Star Network
After the estrus, Chris hadnt gone to see Jorah yet. Even the matter of playing the video had been arranged for the housekeeper to ask.
However, it was for vague reasons and only told Jorah that there was some political need for him to agree to make the video public.
The old housekeeper looked kindly at the always quiet Chris rambling on a lot before smiling and saying, General, you should go see young Master Jorah yourself.
Upon hearing this, Chris was stuck. He pursed his lips in silence for a long time but eventually didnt dare to go upstairs.
The damage he had inflicted on Jorah could never be erased, and it made him incredibly nervous. Now that Jorah was awake from his estrus, he might have regretted his decision to mate with him or maybe remembered Lucas again.
Lucas had once treated Jorah with disdain, but what about now? Would he try to take Jorah away?
Nowadays, the alphas mark on the omega can be removed by medical means, though with some difficulty.
What was Chris going to do if Jorah made such a request to him?
Chris missed the boy madly, but the fear of abandonment and rejection made him stop in his tracks.
Hesitation and doubt filled Chriss normally calm heart. He dropped his eyes and refused, Forget it, I have other work to do.
Chris went into hiding for days.
During those days, the Federation people, who were so full of sympathy and guilt for Jorah, were overflowing with pampering. They once again viewed Chris and Jorahs union with scrutiny, but this time with the feeling of marrying off their son.
On Chriss StarNet page, a few comments were raised high.
[We recognize Chriss contributions to the Federation and understand why hes in love with Baby Jorah. But we had to sensibly assess whether Chris would make a good partner. Hes a Federation God of War, with a heart for the entire Federation and a busy schedule. Will he have time to take care of and pamper Baby Jorah]?
[Dr. Ramiel once said that because Chris chose to get the chip back for the Federation, Baby Jorah was almost done a bad thing by the Flamingos leader. Chris didnt hesitate to choose between the Federation and the baby. We cant say that Chris was wrong, but what about later? Will Baby Jorah still be hurt?]
[Baby has been hurt so much, I hope he will be okay from now on.]
[Maybe Jorah doesnt need a Federation Warlord with great responsibilities, but a regular companion who can love him and take care of him, like me!]
[Dont look at Chris as very powerful, hes too cold, hes only fit to be a God of War and an idol, not a gentle companion.]
Dr. Ramiel, who has become Jorahs adoptive father, watched the fun unfold and gave praise to all the above comments while breaking the news that Chris hasnt even visited Jorah once after his heat passed!
This news surprisingly caused a rare outcry against Chris: If you cant take care of him properly, dont try to possess him!
There was even a suspicion that Chris was only with Jorah because he was in a state of guilt.
Then someone else brought up Lucas, but they were now seeing things in a much different light.
If Jorah was telling the truth in the beginning and he and Lucas were really engaged, then what is Lucas who dumped Jorah because of Corsi?
A big scumbag!
Chris has been distraught these past few days, hes been so worried about Jorahs health. The comments that have been popping up on the internet have caused him so much anxiety that he couldnt even resist violently punching Dr. Ramiel!
As usual, the housekeeper provided him with a daily report on Jorahs condition, but Chris is now even more afraid to see Jorah. He previously avoided him and then ran over as soon as the comments came out on the internet. What will Jorah think of him?
With a raised hand, he waved off the housekeeper, and with an increasingly cold, icy face, Chris left with his assistant. The crisis had just passed, and he was indeed incredibly busy these days.
Before stepping into the aircraft, Chris took his usual glance up at the window of his second-floor bedroom. However, the sight of it almost made his heart stop.
A skinny youth was sitting on the window, his bare feet dangling in mid-air. The young man actually jumped down when he saw Chris.
At that moment, Chris ignored everything. He only had eyes for the boys falling body.
Chris exerted his speed to the extreme and rushed over to catch the boy before he hit the ground.
He held Qing Yun in his arms, only to feel his heart constrict and the arms holding the young man tremble with restraint.
Chris bowed his head, his voice suppressing the pain, Youdont have to do this, Ill send you away if you dont like it, I have no intention of imprisoning you. Ill call Lucas if you like him. Ill never let him leave you!
Saying those words, Chriss heart was dripping blood. He didnt think that Jorah would do such a thing to escape from him.
When he was in extreme pain and felt that even his soul was about to break, the teenager stretched out his thin, weak arms and gently wrapped them around his neck.
Qing Yun leaned in and hung his whole body on Chris. He looked at Chris with dissatisfaction in his eyes, Idiot, Im here for you.
Chris was stunned, his eyes widening slightly, and he looked in disbelief.
Qing Yun looked at his adorable expression and almost couldnt help but laugh out loud.
These days, this guy avoided him so much that Qing Yun even has to ask the housekeeper to invite him. Naturally, Qing Yun waited with displeasure. He originally planned to keep this cowardly guy even if he exposed his physical condition today.
But unexpectedly, he was misunderstood and thought he was seeking death?
Raising his hand to cup Chriss face, which was so shocked at the moment, Qing Yuns heart ached for a bit. He didnt expect this guys heart would be so tangled that he fell into self-torture all day long.
After raising his mouth to kiss Chris somewhat dry lips, Qing Yun then leaned over and bit his earlobe, whining softly in his ear, You didnt come to see me these days, what if I wanted to do it again?
Indeed, some omegas heat period doesnt pass so neatly. The hormones fade slowly, and the body is still affected for some time after the period.
Qing Yun deliberately revealed his dark eyes and looked at Chris with pure innocence. He could feel Chriss body instantly reacting because of his short, provocative words.
Chris didnt say anything, though at this point, he was incredibly spiteful about his lack of words. He stood up and held Qing Yun in his arms as he strode towards the house.
Not far away, the assistant with a face full of confusion immediately called out to him, Admiral! What about todays meeting?
Postponed.
It was Chriss cold but somewhat unsteady breath that responded to his words.
The assistant helplessly shrugged, people with omegas are just different.
After fulfilling his obligations as an alpha once again, Chris carefully scrubbed Qing Yuns body clean. He held the drowsy Qing Yun in his arms and devotedly kissed the youths lovely hair.
The fear that had been fermenting in his heart for a long time gradually faded away. Chris leaned on the bed, and only then did he have the thought to open Jorahs StarNet homepage.
The previously attacking words in there had been spontaneously removed by the people, leaving only a few concerned and inquiring comments.
Chriss StarNet page was a complete mess, but people had tacitly refrained from making noise on Jorahs side, and his message board was calm and quiet.
Chris noticed that just today, Jorahs homepage had been updated with a message, a message without a beginning or an end.
He is my favorite hero.
That one sentence calmed down the recent turmoil and softened Chriss heart even more.
The comment section was instantly flooded.
[Oh, Im glad the baby likes him!]
[I cant. Baby loves him.]
[Oooh.are you sure you wont consider me?]
[Baby, take good care of yourself and get well.]
Knowing their initial misunderstanding of Jorah, everyone was now overflowing with affection for the young man, wanting nothing more than to spoil him to the skies.
[A senior from the Federations Supreme Art Academy has come to praise the baby.] A group of students from the Federations Supreme Art Academy followed to reply below this comment. Since watching the conference, the Federations Supreme Art Academy had somehow caught heat, and the omegas and betas attending the school had straightened their backs and were no longer shy about their school.
Looking at the baby in the comments, Chris felt a bit of jealousy. He lowered his head and kissed Qing Yun on the cheek: Youre my baby only.
