Transmigrated as the Disabled Alpha Wife of the Black Moonlight and She Said She Loves Me - Chapter 21

After finishing her meal, Huo Jianan called Doctor Jiang to schedule an appointment, then asked Housekeeper He to accompany her out.

“Honey, I’m going to the hospital for a follow-up. When are you heading out to meet your friend? You won’t be back for dinner, will you?”

Ruan Nianning was taken aback. She had casually mentioned the idea yesterday to gauge Huo Jianan’s reaction, not expecting her to take it seriously. Now she was forced to actually go out.

“Right, I’ll leave in the afternoon and won’t be back for dinner.”

Seeing Housekeeper He about to put a hat on Huo Jianan, Ruan Nianning stepped forward and picked one out. “This one matches your outfit today.”

Huo Jianan smiled. “Thank you, Wife.”

“Would you like me to go with you to the hospital?”

“No need. Housekeeper He will be enough. It’s just a routine check-up.” Huo Jianan gave her a reassuring smile. She didn’t want to cause any unnecessary complications and kept silent about her plans to discuss treatment options with Doctor Jiang today. If everything went smoothly, she might even start rehabilitation therapy today.

At the hospital, Doctor Jiang reviewed Huo Jianan’s treatment plan once more. This plan had been finalized only after consulting two leading experts in the field.

“Miss Huo, I’ve given this plan careful and repeated consideration, and based on your current condition, this is the most viable approach.”

Huo Jianan’s face lit up with excitement. “I trust Doctor Jiang’s professional opinion. How long will it take for me to stand again?”

“That depends on the progress of your rehabilitation,” Doctor Jiang cautioned. “Miss Huo, we’re using a new generation of medication this time. Some patients experience temporary, severe pain after injection. Are you sure you’re okay with this? We can omit the medication, but your recovery will be slower.”

“I’m fine,” Huo Jianan replied. “I can endure it. I want to stand again as soon as possible.”

Doctor Jiang glanced at her. “Then we’ll proceed as planned. I’m confident you’ll be standing again soon, Miss Huo.”

That afternoon, Doctor Jiang accompanied Huo Jianan through her first rehabilitation session. Supported by the machine, Huo Jianan struggled to take each step, as if climbing Mount Everest or taking her first steps on the moon—difficult, feeble, her entire body trembling. It was tempting to give up at any moment, but Huo Jianan gritted her teeth and, guided by Doctor Jiang, slowly and painfully completed the day’s rehabilitation training.

After completing her training, Huo Jianan sat panting, drenched in sweat.

Doctor Jiang smiled. “You did very well today, Miss Huo.”

Huo Jianan managed a weary smile. “I’ll keep going.”

“In a few days, once you’ve adjusted, we can gradually increase the training duration,” Doctor Jiang suggested.

“Okay.”

Before she left, Doctor Jiang handed her a box containing the medication. “Miss Huo, this is the medication I mentioned. It’s best to inject one dose into each thigh after bathing or soaking in a bath.” He demonstrated the injection method. “This injectable is user-friendly and can be safely administered by non-medical personnel.”

Seeing that the needles weren’t the long, intimidating kind and that the dosage was small, Huo Jianan breathed a sigh of relief. “Alright. How long will the pain last after the injection?”

“The medication takes effect within about ten minutes, and the pain should last for approximately an hour. Gentle massage during that time can help alleviate the discomfort.”

Huo Jianan nodded and thanked Doctor Jiang again.

As they left the hospital, Housekeeper He went to pay the bill. “Young Miss, please wait here for a moment.”

“Alright.” Huo Jianan scanned the hall, idly surveying her surroundings, before her gaze was suddenly drawn to a row of pamphlets in the display rack: Understanding Alphas and Omegas: A Comprehensive Guide to Marking Behavior.

She glanced around, confirming no one was nearby, then maneuvered her wheelchair up to the rack. Blushing, she furtively grabbed a pamphlet and tucked it into her robe.

Back in her room, Huo Jianan hid the pamphlet in the bedside table drawer before taking a bath.

Xiao Tao offered to help Huo Jianan bathe, but Huo Jianan, who couldn’t refuse her wife Wolfie, certainly couldn’t refuse a little girl either. This time, she insisted on washing herself.

“Xiao Tao, bring me a small stool. I’ll wash myself slowly while sitting down.” Huo Jianan hesitated, then added, “Just stay in here. If I need anything, I’ll call you.”

Xiao Tao didn’t dare defy the Young Miss. “Yes, Young Miss.”

Huo Jianan washed her hair first, then her body, scrubbing herself methodically.

“Xiao Tao, hand me the towel and bathrobe.”

Xiao Tao placed the tray in her hands in front of the Young Miss. “Young Miss, would you like me to help you get dressed?”

“No need, I can manage on my own.”

Huo Jianan picked up a towel and dried herself, then slipped on a bathrobe and fastened it. Finally, she summoned her wheelchair and transferred into it.

Watching the Young Miss complete all these tasks smoothly by herself, Xiao Tao exclaimed in surprise, “Young Miss, you’re amazing! You really can bathe by yourself! I wonder if Housekeeper He will scold me when she finds out?”

Huo Jianan thought for a moment. “Then you can dry my hair for me. That counts as helping, and Housekeeper He won’t blame you.”

“Okay!” Xiao Tao wheeled the Young Miss into the outer room and cheerfully dried her hair.

After her hair was dry, Huo Jianan stretched lazily. “I’m going to lie down for a while. Wake me when dinner is ready.”

“Understood, Young Miss.”

Relishing her rare moment of solitude, Huo Jianan slipped out of her bathrobe, changed into her underwear and nightgown, and burrowed under the covers.

Today’s rehabilitation session had truly worn her out. After lying down for a while, boredom set in, and she suddenly remembered that little booklet.

Since she had entered the Alpha-Beta-Omega world, Huo Jianan should learn more about it.

But when she opened the booklet, the naive newcomer felt like she had stumbled upon a whole new world.

She hadn’t realized that marking worked like this, that certain positions made Omegas more comfortable, or that Alphas could soothe the discomfort of an Omega’s heat period with their pheromones. Similarly, Alphas in their receptive phase needed the calming influence of an Omega’s pheromones.

Huo Jianan read with rapt attention, like a thirsty student. When she reached the detailed explanation of how an Alpha effectively marks a heating Omega, the diligent student swallowed hard, her mind automatically adding a layer of suggestive filters to the images.

She lost track of time. Suddenly, Housekeeper He’s voice came from outside the door. “Young Miss, Young Miss? Dinner is ready. The Old Madam is on her way home.”

Flustered, as if caught red-handed, Huo Jianan hastily stuffed the booklet into a drawer, her face burning crimson.

“…Alright, I understand.”

Housekeeper He asked from outside the door, “Young Miss, do you need me to come in and help you dress?”

“No, I’ll go down later myself.”

Still worried about leaving the Young Miss alone, Housekeeper He said, “Young Miss, I’ll wait by the door and go down with you.”

Huo Jianan lifted the quilt and began dressing, starting with her underwear, then her undershirt, sweater, and finally her pants. She had practiced dressing herself several times when no one was around, repeatedly putting on and taking off her clothes until she could now dress calmly and methodically.

Seeing the Young Miss fully dressed, Housekeeper He exclaimed in surprise and delight, “Young Miss, you can really dress yourself now!”

Huo Jianan felt quite pleased. “Of course. My hands are both dexterous and strong.” The moment she finished speaking, her face flushed red, feeling that her last words sounded a little… improper.

Grandmother Huo, displeased at being left alone again, said, “Where’s Nianning? She’s neglecting you already, even before she starts filming.”

Huo Jianan hurriedly covered for Wolfie. “I sent her out. She’d made plans with friends several times and couldn’t keep declining. It’s just a meal, and she’ll be back soon. Grandmother, let’s eat, let’s eat.”

Grandmother Huo looked at her granddaughter and shook her head with a sigh. “I know you dote on your wife, but there must be limits. You’re a descendant of the Huo family; you don’t need to grovel over matters of the heart…” She paused, restraining herself from saying “begging for mercy,” and continued, “You don’t need to lower yourself. I refuse to believe that Ruan Nianning is the only beautiful Omega in the world.”

Huo Jianan smiled bitterly. Grandmother, she thought, according to the book’s plot, our family—and I—are doomed. My so-called “limits” are precisely what’s keeping the Huo family alive.

“Grandmother, you’re exaggerating. Ningning just went out for a meal. She’s not ignoring me.” Huo Jianan flipped her hair and narcissistically sniffed it. “Grandmother, I washed my hair today. I finally smell sweet and flowery.”

Grandmother Huo smiled. “It does look much softer. Your head injury is fully healed?”

“Yes, I only dared wash it after it was completely healed.”

“In the future, be more careful, everywhere and always. Don’t fall again. You’ll only suffer.”

“I know, Grandmother. I’ll be careful.”

The grandmother and granddaughter ate their meal in pleasant conversation. Grandmother Huo observed that her granddaughter was no longer as picky about her food as before. The eggplant she had once refused to touch was now piled high on her plate.

“Grandmother, Ningning and I are planning to visit her family tomorrow.”

Grandmother Huo nodded. “It’s proper for newlyweds to visit their spouse’s family. Have Housekeeper He prepare some gifts. I don’t want outsiders saying the Huo family is rude or arrogant.”

“Alright, Grandmother.”

After dinner, Grandmother called Huo Jianan to the small reception room. “Nannan, I know you love Nianning, but there’s something I need to remind you of.”

“Go ahead, Grandmother.”

“I yielded to your wishes and allowed you to marry her, but don’t forget how her mother died.”

Huo Jianan’s heart raced, nearly blurting out, “How did her mother die?” She barely managed to suppress the question. “What about it?”

“It was ten years ago. Though it was an accident, your mother’s unintentional mistake led to her death. I suspect Nianning still harbors some resentment.”

Huo Jianan gripped the armrests of her wheelchair tightly, her fingers tensing. She wanted to demand, “What kind of ‘unintentional mistake’ was it?” But she knew she couldn’t ask so bluntly.

“No way, Nianning wouldn’t do something like that.”

Grandmother Huo glanced at her. “It’s hard to say. Her father’s surname is Zou, and her mother’s surname is Cai. Do you know why she’s named Ruan? That’s her maternal grandmother’s surname.

After her mother passed away, her father quickly remarried a woman who was pregnant. Besides the child she was carrying, the stepmother also had an older daughter, already several years old. Eventually, the pregnancy ended in miscarriage.”

Huo Jianan was inwardly startled. So, Wolfie’s father had been unfaithful long ago. No wonder Ruan Nianning had called her father a scumbag during their phone call.

“Her father used to be a small business owner with a factory. But when his business failed, he lost his house, car, and company, and ended up with several hundred thousand yuan in debt. He began drinking heavily and snapping at everyone. It’s no wonder she and her father have a strained relationship.

Ruan Nianning is a remarkably independent girl. After her father remarried, their father-daughter interactions became minimal. She’s a hardworking and diligent young woman with outstanding academic achievements. Without any unforeseen circumstances, getting into a top-tier university shouldn’t have been a problem. Yet she chose to pursue a career in the arts and enrolled in the acting program at X Academy.”

“Grandmother, why would she attend X Academy?” Many students enrolled in X Academy’s acting program to become actors and actresses, aiming for fame and fortune. But Huo Jianan knew that someone seeking revenge, who had sacrificed their entire life for it, wouldn’t care about such trivial things.

“That’s unclear. Perhaps today’s youth have an innate desire to perform. However, as a newcomer with no connections and unwilling to compromise, obscurity was inevitable at the start,” Grandmother Huo said with a wistful tone. “To succeed, hard work alone isn’t enough. Sometimes you need luck, and sometimes you need a benefactor. Song Shiyu was her benefactor. Ruan Nianning has also proven herself worthy. Her current success is due to seizing opportunities and possessing genuine talent.”

Huo Jianan could tell that her grandmother still held a certain admiration for Ruan Nianning.

“After starring in two more TV dramas, she became wildly popular, a major star with legions of frenzied fans. Even my granddaughter was bewitched, utterly smitten.”

Huo Jianan’s face flushed. “I was not!”

“Not? If you weren’t, why did you throw a tantrum and refuse to eat for three days just because I wouldn’t let her marry into the family?”

Huo Jianan, who wasn’t directly involved, could only smile. She had to admit that with Wolfie’s striking beauty, commanding presence, and hit TV show, it was no surprise she was so popular. Having such devoted fans was hardly surprising.

“Grandmother, how do you know all this?”

“She’s marrying you, my dear. Don’t you think I should thoroughly investigate her background? Jianan, I know you adore her. As long as she doesn’t hurt you, her spending habits or acting ambitions are trivial matters. But I absolutely will not tolerate deception or harm against you!”

Touched, Huo Jianan nodded. “I understand, Grandmother.”

Recalling the story’s plot, she added, “Grandmother, Nianning’s heart isn’t truly wicked.”

“Of course I know that. Otherwise, no matter how much you pleaded, I would never have allowed you to marry her.” Grandmother Huo’s expression hardened as if lost in thought. “Has your mother’s lesson taught you nothing?”

After a long pause, Grandmother Huo rose from the sofa and patted her granddaughter. “Jianan, I would never have spoken to you like this before. You would have rejected my words outright. But now… I think it might be time for you to know the truth.”
