The True Record of a Flirty Omega's Failed Balancing Act - Chapter 38

Chapter 38

◎The top priority is to find your Alpha◎

“Congratulations, you’re one month pregnant.”

The doctor said this to Ning Chanyue, looking at the recent reports.

But the moment the words left the doctor’s mouth, Ning Chanyue said in a hushed voice, “That’s impossible.”

After what You Zhuoqing had done to her scent gland, Ning Chanyue had secretly seen a doctor who told her that it was impossible for her to get pregnant. She remembered saying the same thing to Xu Guiyi the night they first met.

How could this be possible…

“Yes, and I’m sure you’re wondering why. Based on your scent gland’s condition, the probability of having a child with another Alpha is indeed zero. But if I’m not mistaken, the Alpha who got you pregnant must have marked you before, right? Their pheromones would have helped your scent gland recover, which could lead to pregnancy. There have been similar cases in our country, but they are extremely rare. Congratulations.”

After the doctor finished, before Ning Chanyue could fully process the complicated information, she turned to face You Zhuoqing, who was standing beside Ning Chanyue.

The doctor said, “Are you her Alpha? Her situation is quite special. It seems she hasn’t been soothed by Alpha pheromones for a long time. If you’re her Alpha, I need to tell you a few things to pay attention to.”

“……”

“……”

A wave of silence.

Ning Chanyue wondered what You Zhuoqing would think now that she’d heard she was pregnant and that the doctor had mistaken her for Xu Guiyi. She glanced at You Zhuoqing, who had not spoken a word since she brought her to the obstetrics department.

Would she be resistant? Angry? Or would she… immediately tell her to get an abortion?

A few seconds later, You Zhuoqing pursed her lips, and her Adam’s apple bobbed. She opened her mouth, and her voice came faintly from Ning Chanyue’s side. Her voice was very soft, as if she was still in shock, or as if she was trying to accept something. She said, “I can be her Alpha.”

“Can be… what?”

Ning Chanyue shot her a surprised look. But before the wave of astonishment had fully subsided, she quickly spoke, addressing the doctor word by word. “She is not. Doctor, if I don’t have an Alpha, can I give birth to this child alone?”

She didn’t even have to ask. Based on what she learned in middle school biology class, anyone, even a non-doctor, would have answered with a firm shake of their head, saying it was impossible to give birth. But…

When Ning Chanyue looked up again, she saw the doctor giving her a slight, yet definitive, shake of her head. “Silly girl, what are you thinking? In your current condition, you’ll definitely be uncomfortable during pregnancy. If you don’t receive timely soothing from Alpha pheromones, you’ll be even more miserable. Morning sickness is the least of your worries. You might be hospitalized in two weeks. And… you won’t be able to give birth.”

The moment the doctor finished, she heard You Zhuoqing next to her take a deep breath and ask, “What’s the option with the least negative impact on her?”

For some reason, You Zhuoqing’s words were a bit jumbled, and her voice was very dry.

The doctor pursed her lips and said, “The option with the least impact on her would be an immediate abortion followed by soothing with Alpha pheromones… If you two haven’t decided yet, I can prescribe some medicine to temporarily alleviate the Omega’s symptoms. However, this isn’t a long-term solution. Whether you want to have this child or not, the most urgent task is to find her Alpha.”

“Her Alpha… Xu Guiyi?”

This title, which she hadn’t heard for a long time, made Ning Chanyue’s eyelashes flutter. But before she could speak, a gust of wind suddenly blew from behind her, accompanied by a few rapid, close footsteps.

So she turned her head slightly. Then, when she saw the person, her pupils involuntarily shrank.

“…Cheng Yuxin?”

When Cheng Yuxin walked up to Ning Chanyue, Ning Chanyue was stunned but still chose to call out to her softly.

But why would she suddenly appear here?

Cheng Yuxin also seemed extremely surprised to see her. She just glanced at Ning Chanyue and immediately covered her mouth.

“You….” After a long pause, Cheng Yuxin squeezed out this word from her throat. After a while, she slowly lowered her hand and asked, “What are you doing here?”

But before Ning Chanyue could reply, a cough came from the side.

It was from the doctor.

The doctor, who had been amiable to them just a moment ago, immediately pulled down the corners of her lips and became serious after seeing Cheng Yuxin.

She tapped the desk with a pen and said, “Cheng, the hospital isn’t a place for you to chat. Did you bring the things I asked you to bring?”

“Oh, oh,” reminded by the doctor, Cheng Yuxin reacted, quickly moved two steps toward the doctor, and said, “Professor, I only found this on your desk at school. Can you see if it’s what you wanted?”

After saying that, Cheng Yuxin placed the package she was holding on the doctor’s desk. Then the doctor and Cheng Yuxin talked for a few more minutes, but it was clear that Cheng Yuxin wasn’t listening carefully, because at this moment, she had her eyes lowered, and her gaze was entirely focused on Ning Chanyue’s lab report on the doctor’s desk, not moving at all.

“…Did you understand everything I just told you?”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yuxin’s wide eyes moved away from the report inch by inch, and she nodded slowly. “I… I got it.”

“Then you can go now. I still have patients to see.”

But before Cheng Yuxin moved away from the doctor’s office, she turned her head and gave Ning Chanyue a deep look. The two didn’t say anything more, but Ning Chanyue’s gaze followed her, watching her turn back and pull the door. It wasn’t until the moment Cheng Yuxin stepped out of the door that Ning Chanyue saw her pull out her phone from her pocket.

…Is she going to contact someone?

When she thought of this possibility, Ning Chanyue’s heart couldn’t help but tremble.

After Cheng Yuxin left, the doctor didn’t say much more to Ning Chanyue. She prescribed two types of medicine for her and reminded her to find her Alpha as soon as possible and to come back for a timely follow-up visit.

So Ning Chanyue was hugged out the door by You Zhuoqing again. But just as they stepped out the door, before either of them could say anything, Ning Chanyue’s phone rang again.

Ning Chanyue picked up her phone. When she saw the name, her grip on the phone tightened unconsciously.

It was a call from her sister.

“I’ll answer it for you.”

As the words fell, You Zhuoqing took the phone. But she didn’t choose to answer the call immediately. Instead, she helped Ning Chanyue sit on a chair nearby before pressing the connect button.

She put the phone to her ear, but her gaze was still fixed on Ning Chanyue’s flat abdomen.

“Mhm… mhm,” After a while, You Zhuoqing hung up the phone and put it down. She moved her gaze up, looked at Ning Chanyue’s face again, and said to her, “It’s not your sister who answered the phone. It’s someone I don’t know, but she said your sister is asleep right now. If you want to go up and see, she can tell you the specific situation, but you probably can’t get into the ICU… Do you want to go up and see?”

Without hesitation, Ning Chanyue nodded.

So Ning Chanyue stood up, went down the elevator, and walked to the inpatient department she had just been to… But when Ning Chanyue and You Zhuoqing just stepped into the elevator of the inpatient building, she froze for a moment. Then, as if unsure, Ning Chanyue took a sharp breath.

…In the complex mix of smells in the elevator, she had sensitively caught a hint of that familiar sandalwood scent.

“What’s wrong?” You Zhuoqing, who was beside her, asked, obviously having noticed Ning Chanyue’s actions.

But as a Beta, how could You Zhuoqing know what Ning Chanyue had just smelled?

“Is Xu Guiyi in this elevator, too?”

Thinking of this possibility, Ning Chanyue’s breathing stopped. But for some reason, she didn’t subconsciously try to find her.
