Clingy! The Sickly but Beautiful and Strong Alpha Is a Loyal Puppy Who Needs Pampering - Chapter 4

A starfleet carrier is divided into a large squadron, led by the chief medical officer with a team of about ten doctors, forming a medical squad responsible for treatment.

Today, the Eighth Fleet under Chief Bei’s team was fortunate enough to have no missions.

Taking advantage of the rare break, she visited a small flower shop in B32 District.

With the increasing number of friendly extraterrestrial immigrants to Earth, the dazzling and varied glowing alien flowers they brought have become overwhelming choices.

Few people now come to buy ordinary roses.

Yet, they are still meticulously cared for by Bei Yin.

Roses of red, blue, pink, and black bloom vividly, with green stems and leaves, filling the room with a pleasant fragrance.

Hearing the door open, Bei Yin, who was trimming dead leaves, immediately smiled.

Before even looking up, she softly called out, “Yinyin!”

She excitedly put down the scissors, but as she stood up, she coughed heavily twice.

She was in her forties, but her beautiful face looked no older than her twenties or thirties.

She should have been a delicate Omega, more tender than flowers, but after being permanently marked by an Alpha and then cruelly abandoned, she had to remove her gland to survive, which completely ruined her health, causing her to wither early.

Her face was pale, almost transparent, and she was so thin that Bei Yin’s hand on her shoulder felt uncomfortable.

Just a few steps to the sofa left her breathless.

Sitting there weakly, it took her a long time for her erratic and heavy heartbeat to return to normal.

Bei Yin knelt beside her legs: “Did you not take the medicine I prepared for you?”

“I… I’ve been feeling okay these past few days, so I didn’t take it…”

“Okay? Okay enough to be pale and cough after just a few steps?”

Realizing her tone was harsh, Bei Yin softened her voice.

“Mom, don’t worry about the cost of the medicine anymore. I’m now the chief doctor and can afford it. Please listen to me, okay?”

Once the gland marked for life is removed, turning from an Omega to an ordinary person is akin to losing half one’s life.

The medicine can only make Bei Yin’s weak body feel a bit more comfortable.

It cannot change the fact that life is slipping away like water, day by day.

And the medicine her daughter prepared for her costs a fortune per tube, which she really couldn’t bear to use.

Bei Yin silently retrieved a six-centimeter-long glass tube from the flower cabinet.

She removed the cap, rolled up Bei Yin’s sleeve, and injected the blue liquid into her arm, where the veins were prominent.

Soon, Bei Yin’s complexion regained a bit of color.

Bei Yin’s expression also improved, but upon hearing the next words, she suddenly lost all her smiles.

“Your mother contacted me again…”

Bei Yin didn’t know how much strength it took to suppress that cold sneer.

At the age of five, to make room for her new lover, her mother disregarded her pleas and drove them out of the Bei family, abandoning them in the snow at sub-zero temperatures, nearly killing them.

This kind of mother?

Deceiving a naive and kind Omega into a permanent mark—once successful, it’s equivalent to becoming the other’s property.

Thereafter, she could no longer smell other Alpha’s pheromones, and during her heat periods, inhibitors no longer worked; she could only rely on the Alpha who marked her to survive.

Yet, she didn’t even give her mother a wedding or a certificate.

When her mother was suffering from unbearable heat periods, that woman was happily embracing her new lover.

This kind of mother?

She completed her education with the help of others’ sponsorship and at eighteen, took her mother away from the polluted 28th district where they were born.

Step by step, she climbed from District 20 to District 18, and now to District 6.

Though not covered in glory, it was enough to make the slums of District 28 seem unreachable.

The woman who used to beat and scold her as a child now sought her out, wanting to use her status and connections to get her Alpha son into District 6.

When refused, she resorted to daily insults and threats against her mother.

Was this a mother, or a beast worse than pigs and dogs?

Bei Yin trembled with suppressed anger, stood up, took off her glasses, and took deep breaths behind Bei Yin.

Bei Yin tugged at her hem: “Mom, stop talking, don’t be angry.”

Bei Yin exhaled heavily and threw Bei Yin’s wristband into a bucket of water.

With a sizzle, the non-waterproof electronic device emitted a puff of black smoke and was completely ruined.

“Don’t overthink it. The Bei family wouldn’t dare cause trouble in District 6. Just focus on growing your roses and looking beautiful every day. Leave everything else to me.”

Bei Yin said, tightly holding her mother’s hand.

“Don’t think I’m tired or suffering. Only if you live well can I live well.”

The rose shop was small, and through a glass door, one could see the Omega crouching beside her mother.

The hover car parked by the roadside wasn’t far away.

Every word of the conversation was clearly heard by the enhanced hearing of the Alpha in the back seat.

The Alpha leaned her head against the car window, staring intently at the Omega: “You live, so I can live.”

Chen Chen felt a chill down his spine. He wouldn’t doubt the truth of those words.

As her assistant for several years, he knew all too well Commander Ruan’s terrifying obsession with certain things.

It was said that when she was six, she got a baby rabbit.

Tests showed it could live for seven years, but it died after just a few days due to poor care.

She personally preserved the rabbit as a specimen and carried it with her everywhere for the next seven years.

At thirteen, she finally buried the rabbit specimen.

And the reason for this was simply because she had promised someone she would take care of the rabbit until its death.

Seeing Bei Yin nod, Bei Yin smiled: “Here’s some good news. My application has been approved by the base. In a few days, the flower shop will open in the military hospital, and I’ll be able to see Mom every day.”

“Really?! That’s wonderful!” The nearly withered flower suddenly bloomed with a vibrant, radiant smile.

Bei Yin took out her own wristband: “Use this for now. The military tech team has already shielded it, so the Bei family won’t find the number.”

“Okay… Oh, who’s this contact named Ruanruan?”

“Ahem, a friend I just met.”

Bei Yin’s eyes lit up: “Is it an Alpha?”

“Well… it’s…” Bei Yin stammered, unsure how to respond.

Suddenly, a holographic message popped up.

Ruanruan: Since you’ve found me, sister, you can’t look for other Alphas, or I’ll be very upset.

Ruanruan: ˊˋ I won’t talk to you anymore.

Bei Yin quickly replied: Don’t worry, I’m busy now, I’ll talk to you later.

Ruanruan: Okay~

Bei Yin: “Huh?!”

Bei Yin had to explain: “I did meet an Alpha, and I have a good impression of them, but we’re still getting to know each other.”

Bei Yin exclaimed excitedly: “That’s great.”

An Omega who has never been nourished by an Alpha’s pheromones will suffer from glandular disorders after turning thirty.

The pheromones were uncontrollably and chaotically spreading. If the heat period didn’t stabilize soon, it would be extremely dangerous.

And it seemed that her daughter was already showing slight signs.

The simplest solution was to find a friendly Alpha to provide temporary marks and inject pheromones periodically to stabilize the glands.

But her daughter didn’t have any close Alpha friends.

A permanent solution would be to remove the glands entirely.

Although it wouldn’t be as life-threatening as losing half one’s vitality from a lifelong mark, removing an organ would still cause severe damage to the body.

Her daughter seemed quite fond of the idea.

Beilin happily said, “Now, having a partner Alpha will be great. We can stabilize the glands right away, but she should be gentle. The first injection of pheromones can be very painful.”

Bein: “…Mom, we’re not at that stage yet.”

Ruan Fei couldn’t help but glance at the slender nape buried in curly hair. After a moment, she closed her eyes, boiling with greed.

She coldly said, “Let’s go to the Fu family.”
