After Mistakenly Marking a Sickly, Yandere Beautiful Omega, I Was Forced Into a Flash Marriage - Chapter 23.2

In the hallway outside. Chen Jia had come in with serious business to discuss, but she couldn’t say it in front of Xue Wu in the ward, so she waited until Luo Yan managed to slip out before asking in a low voice.

“Aside from misidentifying me, I think there aren’t many other major issues,” Luo Yan said.

“I also realized how strange it was when the boss woke up. She kept crying out for her girlfriend. We all thought she had a secret girlfriend we didn’t know about, but I didn’t expect her to misidentify you as her girlfriend.” Chen Jia sighed.

“Now I need to find the doctor to ask about the situation and see what they say.” Luo Yan felt the current situation was thorny. She also didn’t know the extent of Xue Wu’s amnesia—was it total, or just partial?

“Miss Luo, if the boss can’t recover her memory in the short term, will you stay with her?” Chen Jia was somewhat worried. After all, there weren’t many people Xue Wu could trust. Although she didn’t say it, she knew her boss trusted Luo Yan.

Otherwise, why would Luo Yan know so many of her boss’s secrets and still not move against her? And let her continue living in peace? How could that be?

However, now that her boss had amnesia, the initiative was in Luo Yan’s hands. If this Alpha was cold-hearted enough to want nothing to do with her boss… or if she exploited her boss, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Chen Jia had been with Xue Wu for years. She knew all the different types of people Xue Wu had encountered; most were just after her beauty and high rank. Even her adoptive parents coveted her rank and ability, wanting her to bring them endless wealth.

Only because Old Master Xue was around did they not dare be so blatant. Otherwise… there was no telling what her boss would have become by now.

And now was the time when human hearts were most revealed. Chen Jia was just a small assistant; what she could do for Xue Wu was limited. All she could do was see if Luo Yan truly treated Xue Wu well. If not, she would definitely tell Old Master Xue and have him intervene.

But the situation now was… Luo Yan seemed reliable. At the very least, she had stayed by Xue Wu’s side without complaint for the past dozen days; Chen Jia had seen her grow quite haggard.

That she could still come and take care of Xue Wu while being so busy—she didn’t know if anyone else could do that.

So, the interactions over nearly a month had completely changed Chen Jia’s view of Luo Yan. She believed she was someone to be relied upon, she just didn’t know how she would handle this current situation.

After all, she felt Luo Yan’s attitude toward her boss was always a bit strange—blowing hot and cold—but she didn’t seem to be “stringing her along,” so Chen Jia didn’t know what was in her heart and could only ask.

“I don’t know right now,” Luo Yan said, as honesty wouldn’t hurt. “Before your boss lost her memory, she didn’t like me at all. Now it’s just temporary amnesia. If I took advantage of her in this state, it would be wrong.”

“So… you plan to ignore our boss?” Chen Jia felt a sense of dread upon hearing this.

“I still need to see what the doctor says. If your boss’s state is unstable, I will still stay with her.”

“Good, then I really must trouble you, Miss Luo.”

“There’s no talk of trouble. We are considered friends, what’s a little help?”

Luo Yan eventually went to find the doctor to look into Xue Wu’s current condition. She described her state, and the doctor’s conclusion was not optimistic.

“It’s very likely she suffered some trauma that led to this, misidentifying you as her girlfriend. Furthermore, she didn’t give an effective response when you told her the truth, which proves she instinctively refuses to accept the real relationship between you. So, at this stage, no matter how you try to prove your real relationship, she won’t listen, because in her consciousness, you speaking like that is just lying to her.”

“Then what should I do?” Luo Yan asked in confusion.

“It’s best to go along with her and continue interacting with her. Don’t oppose her in everything.”

“But what if she recovers her memory later and finds out I lied to her?”

“Can you bear to leave her behind now?” The doctor felt this Alpha was truly conflicted. “If you can’t, then she will recover her memory sooner or later anyway. Why not enjoy a relationship for once?”

“It would actually be good for both of you.”

The doctor’s words were a significant wake-up call for Luo Yan, and the impact was immense.

Yes, she was going to die eventually anyway; it seemed hard to escape the constraints of the plot. Before dying, why not have some fun?

At least then her transmigration wouldn’t be in vain.

But having such a thought didn’t mean Luo Yan completely agreed with the suggestion.

She still had reservations in her heart. She couldn’t fully change her mindset in a single moment; she had to stay calm before making a decision.

However, what happened next completely changed her mind. She became resolute.

Luo Yan didn’t dare see her for the next few days—at least, she didn’t dare see her while she was awake. She could only visit her late at night when she had finished her work.

She had indeed grown increasingly busy lately. Not only with the design competition and her studies, but also with company matters. she had taken on a large order that had been going smoothly, but trouble arose just as the contract was about to be signed. She had to keep working, and it was only after several days that things improved. She didn’t dare be careless, but her heart felt slightly lighter.

Once she relaxed, she missed Xue Wu even more. Knowing it was wrong, she still couldn’t stop herself from going to the hospital to see her.

Late at night, she didn’t go in. As usual, she stood outside the ward and gazed at her, watching the moonlight drape over her, seeing her face divided into light and shadow, seeing her… seemingly restless sleep tonight.

Luo Yan watched her for a long while. Her gaze finally landed on the gauze on her forehead, which was stained with blood. She frowned, feeling uneasy, sensing she had overlooked something.

She found the attending doctor on night duty and asked what had happened to Xue Wu.

It had been five days since she woke up. Logically… she should have been able to be discharged.

But that wasn’t the case; something must have gone wrong.

The attending doctor, a woman surnamed He, saw Luo Yan rushing over in such a hurry and couldn’t quite understand her. Although this Alpha was young and the second miss of the Luo family, pampered at home, her care for Xue Wu was impeccable. Yet, after Xue Wu woke up with amnesia, she had cast aside such a perfect opportunity… Dr. He truly didn’t understand.

Did she really not like Xue Wu, or did she have other concerns? She even watched her secretly.

“Dr. He, has… has something happened to Miss Xue these past few days? Her condition looks very wrong.” Luo Yan didn’t waste time and got straight to the point.

“It’s nothing major, she just accidentally got injured again. She just has to endure it and it’ll pass. You don’t need to worry too much.” Dr. He didn’t usually have this attitude; even if she was dissatisfied with someone, she wouldn’t act like this, especially since Luo Yan and Xue Wu were clearly close.

However, looking at Xue Wu’s situation over the past few days, she couldn’t hold back anymore and began speaking sarcastically.

“Dr. He, what exactly happened? Can you tell me?” Luo Yan ignored the displeasure in her tone and asked anxiously.

“It’s still the side effects of the thrombin…” Dr. He saw Luo Yan’s urgent gaze, sighed, and finally told her the truth: “Not only that, one night someone broke in. The person didn’t know Miss Xue, but they nearly harmed her… During the struggle and resistance… Miss Xue was injured. Her wound burst open again at that time, and blood flowed like a fountain…”

Dr. He truly couldn’t bear to continue at this point. It had only happened within these past few days. It seemed no one understood why such a thing had occurred. That patient wasn’t from their building but appeared from another. They had been under strict supervision due to abnormal pheromones. Everything should have been fine, yet such an incident happened suddenly, breaking in while the patient was in their deepest sleep. If Xue Wu hadn’t fought back with all her might, who knows what would have happened.

“We originally wanted you to come help, as her situation was truly critical. But when Miss Xue fainted again… she told us not to find you… because she knew you were away on a business trip. Even if you rushed back, you wouldn’t be able to treat her, and it would just make you worry. So, we used thrombin again. Because it wasn’t just the forehead wound bleeding, and other places were injured as well, we had to increase the dosage…”

Dr. He stopped there. Luo Yan didn’t need her to say more to know what she meant. She sat silently in the chair for a long time, her thin, straight legs hanging limply, not knowing what she was thinking for a long while.

It seemed the big villain encountered such things frequently in the book. Her strength was clearly so great, and her mind so firm, yet she was born at the wrong time. Every crisis would be followed by a new one waiting for her. Those setbacks and difficulties wouldn’t wait for her to recover but would continue to attack her, only stopping once she had completely fallen.

Perhaps in the author’s pen, she was just a tool to highlight the protagonist’s goodness and beauty. The author wouldn’t see the suffering caused by the strokes of the pen; they only wanted the result.

Nothing else mattered.

It was as if no one cared.

But she cared. Even if no one else cared that she cared, she couldn’t stand to see her suffer anymore. Why should such a good person endure such inhuman torture? Why must she always put in a hundred times the effort to get what she wanted? And then lose it so easily once she finally got it. No one ever asked if she was in pain or tired; they only wanted to see her glamorous side. No one saw the Xue Wu hidden in the shadows, and no one wanted to.

Finally, Luo Yan asked one more thing: “What was the background of the person who suddenly attacked Xue Wu?”

Dr. He opened her mouth, initially not wanting to disclose the patient’s background as it was private. But when Luo Yan raised her eyes—which had turned blood-red at some point—to look at her, she couldn’t utter a single word of refusal.

…

Half an hour later, Luo Yan returned to the outside of the ward, continuing to gaze for a long time at the Omega sleeping in the bed. She still slept restlessly. Though she wasn’t a petite Omega, she was curled into a ball, her pale lips moving slightly as if she were having a nightmare.

Luo Yan couldn’t bear to see her like this. She entered the ward to see her. Smelling the blood on her and seeing the bleeding wound on her forehead, she sighed. She wanted to reach out and touch the wound, but she withdrew her hand halfway.

She clenched her palms. Following the doctor’s instructions, she released her pheromones to surround her, hoping to alleviate the side effects the medication brought her.

Her life was too bitter. she couldn’t bear to see her suffer so much. At the very least, at this moment, she wanted her to have a good dream.

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Yan noticed the woman’s furrowed brow finally relax. She breathed a sigh of relief and slowly retracted her pheromones, planning to stay a little longer before leaving so as not to disturb her rest.

But just as she stood up, she realized her hand was caught by a cool hand. Luo Yan froze and turned back. She saw the weak Omega on the bed had opened her eyes at some point. Her eyes were misty, as if looking from a far distance. she seemed to look at her for a long time before recognizing her, calling out joyfully: “Axue, you finally came to see me?”

Luo Yan: “…”

…

Axue, Wang Xuezhi… If she remembered correctly, that was the name of the White Moonlight the big villain liked in the book.
