After Mistakenly Marking a Sickly, Yandere Beautiful Omega, I Was Forced Into a Flash Marriage - Chapter 21.2

A few more days passed after Luo Yan returned. Feeling that her mood had calmed and having thought clearly about what she wanted, she gathered her courage and dialed the big villain’s number to ask her out for a meeting.

Xue Wu had actually been waiting for her for a long time. Receiving her call was no surprise. She said directly: “Let’s meet at the ‘Whale’ cafe.”

Luo Yan didn’t say much. “Okay.”

An hour later, the two finally met. Xue Wu looked the same as ever, with no visible difference, but looking closely, one would see her face was much paler than before, as if she were suffering from some illness.

Because Luo Yan didn’t dare look at her much, fearing her own lack of resolve, she didn’t notice the abnormality. After sitting down, she got straight to the point: “Miss Xue, let’s break off the engagement.”

“Are you really going back to an ex-girlfriend?” Xue Wu didn’t answer directly. She didn’t seem surprised by the words but asked instead.

“…Miss Xue is overthinking. There is no such thing.” Luo Yan was surprised by the remark and said somewhat helplessly: “I investigated what happened that day later. I don’t even know that Omega; she was just there to scam me for money.”

“So, give me a reason?” Xue Wu tentatively believed her and continued to ask.

“Miss Xue, you don’t like me at all, and there’s no need for you to marry for alliance. This engagement came about in a very strange way; you don’t need to force yourself.” Luo Yan wasn’t afraid to speak the truth anymore.

“Luo Yan, are you belittling yourself?” She could hear that her words, both implicit and explicit, were demeaning herself. This little Alpha thought she wasn’t worthy of her.

“I’m not, it’s… how should I put it, I’m still so young, I don’t want to get married so early.”

“Then you think I’m old?”

“…” Fine, this conversation is over.

Actually, from Xue Wu’s tone, Luo Yan felt… she actually wanted the alliance. But she didn’t dare ask the question. The big villain wasn’t someone just anyone could provoke.

She couldn’t afford to provoke her.

Furthermore, regardless of the truth of what happened at the hotel flowerbed that day, it made her realize completely that the big villain had been faking it—she had already blackened long ago. How could an Alpha who transmigrated halfway like her be with her? She really couldn’t afford the trouble. The big villain had too many secrets; she was not someone a cannon fodder like her should continue to have contact with. It was time to stop.

She admitted she cherished her life, but what was wrong with that? Nothing.

“Miss Xue, neither of us loses anything if this engagement is called off. Besides, don’t you also have a White Moonlight? There’s no need to waste time on me.”

White Moonlight? Xue Wu found it very surprising to hear her say this. She arched an eyebrow, her expression not hiding her exhaustion. She had no idea what she was talking about.

But the point wasn’t there right now. She continued to ask: “Did you see something in the hotel flowerbed that day?”

“I saw nothing.” It was blurted out almost without hesitation, as if she had known she would be asked this question.

“Fine.” Xue Wu looked at her seriously for a few moments, then stopped talking. She seemed to feel that further conversation was pointless. Besides, hadn’t she achieved her goal?

At least, this matter hadn’t dragged anyone else in, and it wouldn’t involve more people.

However, the sense of loss and slight irritation in her heart was also unstoppable. There was nothing fun about being with a cowardly Alpha like her; her attitude really made her a bit unhappy.

“Miss Luo, I will grant your wish. We break off the engagement.”

After Xue Wu finished speaking, she didn’t give her another look but stood up and left first. Her high heels clicked on the floor, sounding like one strike after another against Luo Yan’s heart, leaving her deeply conflicted.

At this moment, she actually wavered… however, the desire to stay alive was ultimately greater than the desire to date. She didn’t want to die like this.

After that day, Luo Yan’s life became completely peaceful. Luo Xi didn’t say anything more. This engagement… seemed to be tacitly voided in everyone’s eyes.

During this time, Luo Yan actually saw how the original owner used to have a crush on Xue Wu. Looking at the walls full of posters, photos, various Blu-ray VCDs, albums, and merchandise, she realized the original owner was serious about her crush, but truly cowardly. She had liked the big villain for so long, yet she hadn’t confessed once. Truly a waste, exactly like her.

She sighed. Looking at the photos of Xue Wu with various expressions, though she found the other person charming and felt like she missed her, she knew she couldn’t afford to provoke her. Besides, wasn’t she living well without her now? So, there was no need to disturb her further.

However, today—ten or so days after parting with Xue Wu—Wei Ying suddenly called her: “Luo Yan, your White Moonlight was in a car accident!”

“…What? Can you be more specific?” Luo Yan was clearly shocked by Wei Ying’s words. Her tone grew anxious, and an indefinable thought flashed through her mind.

At the same time, what she remembered was that the big villain had a coagulation disorder; even a cut on her finger was difficult to heal… if she was in a car accident, wouldn’t she… lose her life? Luo Yan’s heart pounded. She wished she could go to the hospital immediately. Regardless of the fact that the engagement was off, she stood up and walked out, but didn’t hang up the phone, wanting to ask more about the big villain’s condition.

“It’s exactly what I said. Xue Wu was in a car accident on the way back from an appearance. The news is being suppressed for now, not many people know. Do you want to go see how she is?”

“I… I’m going now…” If it were before… or if the big villain didn’t have a coagulation disorder, she might not have taken the initiative. She and the big villain really had no connection anymore; the engagement was off, and past matters seemed like fleeting clouds. There was no need for her to push forward and risk making the big villain unhappy.

But now was different. If the big villain couldn’t stop the bleeding, she would die! she couldn’t just sit by and watch.

“Luo the Third, I really didn’t expect you to be such a devoted soul. The engagement is off, and you still care about her? So the break-up was for nothing?”

The words sounded strange, but Luo Yan didn’t have the heart to speculate on their true meaning right now. She asked one more question: “Is she… is it serious?”

“The news is very tightly suppressed, but I suspect it’s not good. Be mentally prepared.”

Luo Yan’s heart sank. she didn’t want to ask further. Her muscles tensed up at some unknown point, her limbs grew rigid, and her pheromones almost went out of control.

She didn’t want to see the big villain die, even if the other person had killed the original owner in the book. Reality and the story were different; she couldn’t remain indifferent.

After all… even if the big villain was bad, she was a very charming bad person. Such a person shouldn’t die like this.

Furthermore… her intuition told her this accident might be related to what happened at the hotel flowerbed. The big villain might have made some choice on the spot to protect her. If that were the case, she owed her a favor.

“Luo the Third… are you still listening? No matter what you see, don’t be impulsive. Control your pheromones, otherwise even if Xue Wu doesn’t die in the accident, she’ll be killed by you.”

“!”

Luo Yan shuddered, finally clearing her head for a moment. Her pheromones had begun to leak out without her knowing, nearly turning into a murderous aura. She immediately turned back, grabbed two tubes of suppressant, and injected them into her arm without hesitation. But her intuition told her it was useless; the sadness and anxiety in her heart were overflowing.

I have to see her. See her right now.

After 30 minutes of frantic driving, Luo Yan finally reached the hospital where Xue Wu was located according to the address Wei Ying gave.

Just as Wei Ying said, the fact that Xue Wu was in a car accident was hidden; not many people knew. The hospital was also very quiet—so quiet she couldn’t hear a single sound.

Luo Yan was anxious. She found the floor where the big villain was. First, she saw the big villain’s assistant standing in the hallway. Seeing her haggard face, looking like she hadn’t slept, Luo Yan’s heart skipped a beat; she felt even more pained and sad.

“Chen Jia… how is your boss? Has the… bleeding stopped?” Luo Yan steeled her heart and asked.

“Miss Luo, why are you here?” Chen Jia looked up. She had also sustained minor injuries. Seeing Luo Yan arrive was a surprise, but she didn’t hide anything. She said directly, her expression not hiding her worry: “My boss’s condition isn’t good. The bleeding… has stopped, but the method used… was a bit extreme… she hasn’t woken up yet, and it’s been so long.”

“…How long has she been in a coma? And what method was used… can I go in and see her?” Luo Yan didn’t dare look at Xue Wu in the ward until now, fearing she wouldn’t be able to control her emotions—seemingly calm but actually surging.

And what was this “extreme” method of stopping the bleeding? Would there be any side effects?

“Miss Luo, you can. It’s still visiting hours.” Chen Jia’s eyes were red as she told her to go see Xue Wu’s condition, and she briefly explained the method used: “Sister Wu’s most serious injury is on her forehead, and that’s where she bled the most. She was already losing consciousness when she was brought in, but she still told me not to notify you… afraid of bothering you… but… but clearly only you could help her stop the bleeding…”

Chen Jia broke into tears at this point: “Sister Wu said with a smile that the hospital would have a way… and fainted after saying that.”

“And the method the hospital used… was having Sister Wu try a new thrombin… one that contains toxins… although ‘fighting poison with poison’ stopped the bleeding… but… but still… wuwu…”

Chen Jia couldn’t go on at this point. Luo Yan felt extremely conflicted hearing her words, her eyes welling up with heat. She even wondered if she had said something horrible when she broke off the engagement that day, such that she wouldn’t… didn’t dare ask for her help in such a crisis.

…She clearly wasn’t such an outsider of a big villain! Why did she treat herself and others like this? Luo Yan’s heart ached intensely. Her rounded, blunt nails nearly dug into her palms without her noticing.

The weak Omega was sleeping quietly and alone in the ward. The whiteness of the four walls made Luo Yan feel very uneasy, and her heart felt an inexplicable twisting pain, seemingly filled with a delayed self-reproach.

She looked at the person on the bed. Her forehead was wrapped in thick gauze. The bleeding had indeed stopped… but she couldn’t feel happy.

The only relief was that her hair had been preserved, but the injuries elsewhere on her body were painful to look at.

Luo Yan could hardly recognize this weak person as the big villain. In her memory, the big villain was always bold and bright, never like this.

She could hardly look closely after one glance.

“How did your boss… get into the car accident?” Luo Yan didn’t stay inside for long, afraid of disturbing Xue Wu’s rest and fearing her own emotions would affect her and make her condition worse.

Although they hadn’t tested their pheromone compatibility, Luo Yan believed it must be quite high. They had been in contact with each other’s pheromones, and she believed her own would still affect Xue Wu in this situation. Most importantly… she didn’t know if the big villain would have problems if she touched her with pheromones after using that toxic thrombin. She couldn’t take that responsibility.

So, she came out quickly, her heart even heavier, trying her best to control her surging emotions.

“A car rear-ended us. The driver seemed to be drunk,” Chen Jia said, also distressed: “The boss actually noticed it early and was already giving way, but the other person seemed determined to hit us. The collision was successful. To protect me, the boss bore the brunt of the impact. The doctor also said they don’t know when the boss will wake up, or what the situation will be when she does.” In short, it was very worrying and guilt-inducing.

“Is that person still alive?” Luo Yan was naturally asking about the person who hit them.

“Their condition probably isn’t much better. They fled… in short, it’s hard to hold them accountable.”

“Has your boss offended anyone lately?” For some reason, hearing Chen Jia’s description, Luo Yan felt this was a premeditated accident. It was very suspicious.

After all, the big villain had already blackened. she didn’t know who she was dealing with in the hotel garden that time; she definitely hadn’t killed the person. It was more likely the other person had leverage on her. Regardless… since she hadn’t killed them, there were bound to be repercussions. So, the other person might have retaliated afterward.

Otherwise, she had never heard of anyone specifically chasing someone to crash into them.

“Our boss has offended plenty of people… but you can’t say our boss is the one offending people. It’s others who offend my boss, and my boss is forced to take action.”

“Then who offended your boss lately?”

“Who else? That bitch who slandered our boss, saying she was pregnant.” Chen Jia was also indignant talking about this. “These days, really anyone can try to clout-chase.”

“How is she now?” Luo Yan felt she needed to clear this up, otherwise Xue Wu wouldn’t know who was harming her when she woke up.

Although she felt she shouldn’t be doing these things, Luo Yan knew Xue Wu would care deeply about who harmed her, and she couldn’t keep her in the dark.

“After that bitch spread the rumors, we handled her quickly. She’s vanished from the public eye now.” Chen Jia was still very angry; it was clear she was very protective of Xue Wu. And after the rear-end collision, the perpetrator had also vanished, making it impossible to investigate, which frustrated Chen Jia further.

“This person… I’ll have someone look into her as well.” Luo Yan noted her words, suppressing her emotions. She was very clear that this might just be the beginning; more things would be waiting for them.

And now the big villain was injured. If no one protected her, she didn’t know what would happen next.

She remembered that in the book, the big villain was once defeated by the protagonist because she was injured.

Later she suffered consecutive losses and finally died.

At this thought, Luo Yan felt pained. she couldn’t just stand by and watch her fall to such a fate. If she had been braver… if she hadn’t called off the engagement but instead asked clearly about the hotel garden incident, would things have been better? Would she not have ended up like this?

Self-reproach filled Luo Yan’s heart. After enduring her emotions and discussing the matter further with Chen Jia, she decided to find Wei Ying to investigate.

Wei Ying was a “know-it-all” in the entertainment industry; finding her would yield efficiency.

“Oh my, I sent you to go see the person, and you’ve become a private detective?”

“Her situation is very poor, and this accident is full of holes. I have to clear it up.”

“Fine. Since you’re my childhood friend, I’ll listen to you.” Wei Ying could hear the low spirits in Luo Yan’s tone and didn’t say much more, but comforted her: “Don’t worry too much, good people have good fortune.”

“Thank you.”

“But, Luo Yan, what are you actually thinking?” Wei Ying still couldn’t see what her friend was thinking and asked.

“What do you mean?” Luo Yan’s tone was clearly guarded, but she asked.

“I mean, what are your thoughts on Xue Wu? You don’t like her, yet you care so much? Didn’t you say she has someone she likes? Where is that person? Did they come see her? Don’t be a ‘sucker’ for her.”

“These things… there’s no need to ask more now. I’m just concerned about when she’ll wake up.” How could Luo Yan have the heart for anything else? She only wanted the big villain to be safe.

“So, the most important question. Do you like her?”

“…I don’t know.” Luo Yan truly didn’t have an answer. Her mind was a mess, and she couldn’t think of anything.

“Tsk, saying you don’t know actually means you do. This is ‘liking’ her. Why be so roundabout?”

“…” Luo Yan didn’t answer. She wasn’t used to talking about liking someone; it felt very embarrassing.

And she truly couldn’t give an answer to Wei Ying’s question at this stage. She only knew she didn’t want Xue Wu to die; she just wanted her to be safe.

But clearly, Wei Ying didn’t care much for her answer and continued talking on her own.

“It’s fine as long as you like her.” Wei Ying sighed: “Don’t look at how successful Xue Wu is; it wasn’t easy for her along the way. And don’t let her adoptive parents or whatever find out she’s injured, or it’ll be a huge mess.”

“Yes, I know.” Luo Yan didn’t have the heart for more conversation. She nodded, gave Wei Ying a few more instructions on the investigation, and hung up.

She didn’t leave the hospital immediately afterward but stayed for quite a while. She sat outside the ward, not daring to look closely at Xue Wu for fear of losing control of her emotions.

She stayed until it was almost time for her class in the afternoon.

Actually, she couldn’t do much here. If the person didn’t wake up, all she could do was watch, which was heart-wrenching.

Xue Wu was indeed seriously injured. Not only was there a head injury, but she had multiple fractures as well. The most serious part was the forehead, which kept her in a coma.

Over the next few days, Luo Yan came to accompany Xue Wu whenever she didn’t have class. She also continued investigating the matter. When she asked Chen Jia about the hotel garden incident that day, the assistant didn’t know, which made Luo Yan’s heart even heavier. She was certain the big villain must have been plotting something then, yet she hadn’t helped her at all and had even broken the engagement out of fear of death.

This guilt made Luo Yan even more self-punishing. She didn’t dare go in to see her, usually watching her from outside the ward. Occasionally, when she had assignments to finish, she would bring them and write there, which made Chen Jia feel very poignant.

During this time, almost no one came to see Xue Wu. News of her injury was suppressed by Luo Yan; even her manager, Wang Huina, didn’t know.

Her grandfather, Old Master Xue, had also returned abroad to recuperate; his health had never been good, and the climate abroad suited him better.

So, hardly anyone knew she had been in an accident. She was so lonely—could she get used to it?

Today, Luo Yan was accompanying her as usual. But when it was time for the routine check-up, one of the instruments inside malfunctioned, suddenly letting out a piercing sound that was incredibly tense and distressing to hear.

Luo Yan realized something was wrong. Disregarding whether she had saved her drafts, she stood up immediately and peered into the ward in a panic.

“The patient… the patient has unexpectedly entered her ‘special period’! We can’t use suppressants! Who here has matching pheromones?!” The doctor was in a high state of emergency and initiated a level-one defense, fearing that a leak of Xue Wu’s pheromones would cause massive panic.

…Unexpectedly entered her special period?

Luo Yan thought she had misheard. Wasn’t she in a coma? How could she still enter her special period?!
