Chapter 36.2

Assistant Lin knew he was being unreasonable, but he was truly desperate. Furthermore, according to the investigation results, wasn’t Luo Yan’s private life quite messy? Asking her to give a temporary mark shouldn’t be much; for an Alpha like her, it should be a welcome opportunity, right?

Or was she trying to hide something in front of Xue Wu?

Seeing her attitude remain resolute, and knowing time was running out, he steeled himself and said directly: “I won’t tell Miss Xue about this today; you can rest assured. If any problems arise, our side will take responsibility.”

“…Are you out of your mind?” Luo Yan was starting to get angry. Though her expression remained calm, her heart was anything but, and the gland on the back of her neck was restless—a sign that her anger wanted to lash out. If he dared to say another word of nonsense, she wouldn’t let him off.

What kind of person did he take her for?

“I… I’m sorry, Miss Luo… I was just too anxious and said those foolish things. I’m truly at my wits’ end. It was hard enough for our eldest miss to survive those people yesterday, and now with her health issues—she suffers from pheromone disorder…”

Strangely enough, Luo Yan suddenly realized something: the original owner suffered from a pheromone allergy and couldn’t stand most people’s scents, yet she wasn’t allergic to the big villain’s pheromones, nor this female Omega’s. This was quite unexpected.

Could there be some unique connection between her pheromones and the other’s? She remembered that in the book, the reason the big villain was manipulated by those people later was largely due to her condition—not only did she have pheromone disorder, but her body also had difficulty clotting, making bleeding particularly dangerous.

That was why people exploited those weaknesses to target her.

If she could help the big villain solve these two conditions, even just one of them, her Sister A-Wu would have a much easier time later and suffer far less.

And right now, this “Eldest Miss” Omega’s pheromones might be a research opportunity. It wouldn’t hurt to take a look.

Furthermore, she remembered her sister was recently developing drugs for various pheromone-related conditions. Although it was completely different from the jewelry industry she was in, the Luo family was massive, and involvement in the pharmaceutical industry was not unusual.

Therefore, after much thought, Luo Yan decided to follow Assistant Lin downstairs. Before leaving, she told Xue Wu inside: “Sister A-Wu, you eat first; I’m going to take a quick look.”

Xue Wu didn’t actually want her to go; she didn’t like her Alpha being blatantly coveted by others. But looking at Luo Yan’s expression, she inexplicably trusted her.

…And besides, wasn’t this a chance to test her?

Luo Yan, don’t let me down.

Luo Yan didn’t realize Xue Wu was overthinking things; she was solely focused on uncovering the secret of her pheromone allergy and seeing if the Luo family’s drugs could treat pheromone disorder.

Even though she was always by Xue Wu’s side, it didn’t mean accidents wouldn’t happen. If she could use this chance to verify the Luo family’s medicine, she was more than happy to do so.

That was why she was so proactive. She absolutely never intended to use her pheromones to help the other woman.

But Xue Wu didn’t see it that way. Having her Alpha leave her halfway through breakfast for another Omega was painful to think about.

However, she was someone who had been reborn; she didn’t let most of her emotions show. Moreover, the most important thing right now was to continue with her revenge plan.

She didn’t believe she could change much after being reborn. Luo Yan’s appearance was already beyond her expectations. If she dared to deceive her, she wouldn’t let her off.

Born rebellious and unlike a typical Omega—that described her perfectly.

Xue Wu tried not to overthink, but her gaze involuntarily drifted toward the door, waiting for Luo Yan’s return.

Furthermore, she didn’t want to wait anymore. Once this was over, she would take the initiative to ask about the White Moonlight. If it weren’t for the fact that all news of that White Moonlight was blocked, she might have been able to investigate her background, but now the situation was completely unclear.

That was why she was so anxious.

Later, Lin Ling came to see her as well, bringing delicious food. Noticing she was distracted, she asked: “What’s wrong? You’ve been staring outside. Are you waiting for someone?”

“No.” Xue Wu wasn’t willing to share these things with others, so she changed the topic.

“By the way, are you interested in being a guest mentor for a talent show?” Lin Ling was actually very busy, but after a month-long overseas tour, she was exhausted and had to rest upon returning.

But how could a company let an artist rest indefinitely? Before her next major project, they would surely arrange other activities for her. Among them, the guest mentor spot she suggested to Xue Wu was just for fun.

After all, Xue Wu couldn’t stay in recovery forever; she had to have new jobs.

“I’ll think about it.” Xue Wu didn’t agree immediately because she remembered things didn’t go very well for her on that show in her previous life. At that time, the Ruan Zhao matter hadn’t been resolved; even though she knew those rumors were fake, she lacked evidence, and the delay damaged her reputation. Few teams chose her, and those that did were harshly criticized.

Even after she eventually cleared her name, it didn’t help, as no one cared about the truth anymore—they only cared about the drama and gossip, indifferent to the victim’s grievances.

The Ruan Zhao incident was the beginning of her downfall. Not a downfall of her body, but of her spirit—she no longer cared about her career or life because she felt that everything she did was wrong. She couldn’t find her meaning, and thus she fell and never looked back.

She knew that feeling too well. That’s why shortly after her rebirth, she looked for the right time to deal with Ruan Zhao, even at the risk of danger.

Then something happened by accident…? Hmm? What happened by accident? Xue Wu was thinking about the Ruan Zhao matter, but her thoughts cut off halfway. She tried hard to remember, but found she couldn’t; her head began to throb with a sharp pain, making her extremely uncomfortable.

“A-Wu, what’s wrong?” Lin Ling had been watching her and was surprised by her distress. Her face had gone pale, and Lin Ling immediately supported her and called for a doctor.

Xue Wu endured the stabbing pain in her head, waved her hand at her, and forced out three words: “I’m… fine.”

“And you say you’re fine?” Lin Ling didn’t believe her and immediately called for a doctor. This time, it wasn’t Xue Wu’s usual attending doctor. Seeing the new face, Lin Ling frowned: “A different doctor?”

“Dr. He is seeing another patient; he’s temporarily unavailable.”

“How can this be?”

Though dissatisfied, Lin Ling didn’t say more. She frowned and told the doctor to check Xue Wu’s condition immediately, explaining what she saw: “She seems to have a headache and is uncomfortable.”

“Is that so?” Although this doctor was temporarily assigned, she quickly noticed something was wrong with Xue Wu. She pressed her head a few times and soon determined the cause of the headache: “The patient likely tried to force herself to remember things she couldn’t, resulting in this discomfort. For now, she must focus on rest; she must not push herself.”

“Doctor, why can’t I remember those things?” Xue Wu was truly distressed, but she didn’t believe she had amnesia.

“It’s very likely due to the injury to your forehead.” This Beta doctor actually knew a bit about Xue Wu’s condition and knew she had amnesia from the head injury, but since the patient didn’t admit it, she didn’t dare provoke her and risk causing an emotional breakdown.

Xue Wu was a top-tier Omega; if her emotions collapsed, the harm to herself and others would be ten thousand times worse. This had to be avoided.

Therefore, she didn’t mention the amnesia.

“…Then how can I remember?” Xue Wu was truly a bit afraid. If she hadn’t been reborn, those memories wouldn’t matter, but now that she had, how could she seek revenge if she forgot them?

“You must let nature take its course; you can’t rush. The more you rush, the less you’ll remember. You should relax now, don’t think about anything, and let your brain completely unwind.” The doctor comforted her in a gentle tone.

“Alright, I’ll listen to the doctor.” Xue Wu calmed down and forced herself to think about other things, but at this moment, she inexplicably wanted Luo Yan by her side. Without Luo Yan, she felt out of sorts, even if Luo Yan couldn’t help her regain her memories.

She just wanted her there.

“Doctor, has my little Alpha gone to help others?” Xue Wu felt an extreme lack of security; she had grown suspicious of this world, unsure if her past experiences were real.

She had to find certain things or people to prove the world she was in existed and that her own existence was real and not an illusion—otherwise, she didn’t know how to view this world.

Xue Wu strongly felt she was in an extremely dangerous state. She had to face this state and pull herself back—otherwise, she didn’t know what she would become.

“She indeed went to see another patient.” Using the word “see a patient” for a non-professional felt strange to the doctor, but since that was what Luo Yan was doing, she continued: “Don’t overthink; I’ll go get her back now.”

Hearing her promise, Xue Wu relaxed slightly. “Good. You must come back soon.”

The doctor felt a bit of heartache seeing her this way; she looked too fragile.

Who could have thought the glamorous Movie Queen Xue from the screen would have such a side? The car accident was to blame for everything!

She didn’t say more, but handed her a glass of warm water and went down to find Luo Yan. Xue Wu’s condition couldn’t wait; it would become very dangerous if it continued. It had to be resolved immediately.

“Boss, don’t be so afraid. I’m always here, and Miss Luo will be back soon.” Chen Jia had been with Xue Wu from the accident to the coma to now. She knew her confusion, but she also knew she couldn’t mention the amnesia now—if she didn’t accept it, things would only get worse.

So she didn’t dare say much, fearing she’d make things worse.

She could only hope Luo Yan would return quickly and not leave her boss alone again.

Luo Yan’s situation was actually quite difficult. Originally, she only intended to take a quick look and leave, since an Alpha staying with an Omega in heat—even a top-tier Alpha—could lead to accidents. she would absolutely not let that happen, nor would she ever betray Xue Wu.

However, the female Omega’s condition was beyond her expectations. Her ward was under level-one defense alert, and only doctors could enter to check.

If an Alpha entered, they would only be able to mark her; they wouldn’t be able to do anything else.

Luo Yan wasn’t her Alpha, so naturally, she couldn’t enter the ward for further contact. Instead, she asked the doctor for details and called her sister to see if there was a way to resolve this female Omega’s issue.

Xin Jingqiong was disoriented from her heat, but she forced herself to maintain a sliver of clarity. When she saw Luo Yan outside the ward, she felt she couldn’t hold on anymore. It was as if she had found her own Alpha; her eyes were fixed on her, hoping she would enter and resolve her situation.

Luo Yan happened to meet her gaze for a second and somehow understood her meaning. She was a bit surprised, but she didn’t intend to satisfy the woman. She simply mouthed for her to endure while she called her sister.

Xin Jingqiong watched her leave and felt the sky was falling. She suddenly couldn’t find the meaning of her existence—endless suffering through her heat, the enemy’s hidden arrows, a mess of a family, a rebellious and troublesome sister… what was the point of living?

She might as well just die.

The light in Xin Jingqiong’s eyes gradually faded; she felt living was truly too exhausting. But as she closed her eyes and began to give up, she seemed to see that figure who had left coming back and running toward her.

Her expression was anxious.

She seemed to be saying something that she couldn’t hear clearly, but she suddenly didn’t want to die anymore—because someone cared about her after all.

However, just as Luo Yan was returning with medicine for Xin Jingqiong, another accident occurred on Xue Wu’s side.

She suddenly entered an extremely severe heat, triggering a level-one emergency alert throughout the hospital! This had never happened before, and all the doctors and nurses were on high alert.

Luo Yan gripped the medicine in her hand, catching a trace of Xue Wu’s pheromones. She could even sense the pain in them. Her emotions surged, and her abdominal wound, which had barely begun to heal, showed signs of reopening.

But before she could feel the state of the wound, Luo Yan noticed a familiar figure flash by the staircase entrance. She immediately ignored everything else and pushed the door open to chase the Omega.

Luo Yan suddenly felt all of this was too surreal. She faintly connected the cause and effect; if this Omega had gone to see Xue Wu, then she was certain Xue Wu might have misunderstood something. She had to catch this Omega and confront her; it couldn’t wait any longer.

But before she could chase her far, a familiar pain radiated from her abdomen. The pain was so intense that she couldn’t control it. She clutched the wound and stumbled, nearly falling to her knees.

Luo Yan held her abdominal wound and forced herself to stand, but before she could, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her. Before she could see who it was, the person attacked with a sharp knife, aiming directly for her bleeding abdominal wound—
