He must have been exhausted, because Gu Zhilin slept very soundly.
Lu Jin'an just stared at him for who knows how long.
He remained in that position until the nurse came in to change his dressing.
Lu Jin'an gestured to the nurse to keep her voice down so as not to disturb Gu Zhilin.
Seeing this, the nurse nodded and smiled, then said in a soft voice, "You two have such a good relationship."
Lu Jin'an did not refute this, but felt somewhat bitter. It was true that they had a good relationship, but it was only a good relationship between friends.
Gu Zhilin didn't see himself as an Alhpa woman at all.
The way he looked at me revealed the bond between brothers and the care between friends.
He couldn't taste anything more.
After the nurse left, he probably felt sleepy because he saw that Gu Zhilin was sleeping so soundly.
So he placed his hand next to Gu Zhilin's, but he didn't even dare to take it.
Then I closed my eyes and took a nap.
He had only been asleep for a short time when he was suddenly awakened by the heat.
It wasn't that the air conditioning in the ward was inadequate, but rather his own body heat.
He could smell a sweet scent in the air, and the scent was getting stronger.
He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the man next to him.
Gu Zhilin was still asleep, but he was obviously very hot, and he had already pulled off the blanket covering him.
A furrowed brow is clearly a sign of discomfort.
Lu Jin'an knew this was the start of his heat cycle, so he quickly patted Gu Zhilin to wake him up.
"Zhilin, Zhilin, wake up!"
When Gu Zhilin was woken up, he was still a little dazed, only feeling very hot and weak all over.
Her eyes were already slightly red.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Jin'an was so shocked by the sight of this person just waking up that her lower abdomen felt hot. She swallowed hard before saying, "You seem to be in heat."
Upon hearing the word "heat," Gu Zhilin paused for a moment before realizing what the other person meant.
At this point, I also realized that something was wrong with my body.
He hurriedly tried to get out of bed, but found that he had no strength left.
Lu Jin'an wanted to reach out to help him, but realizing that touching him now wasn't a good choice, she could only withdraw her hand.
Then I pressed the call button to call the doctor and nurses to come and handle the situation.
Gu Zhilin was particularly vulnerable at this moment, and felt somewhat wronged: "It seems like I've caused you trouble again."
“It was my idea to let you rest here,” Lu Jin’an shook her head.
The doctors and nurses arrived quickly and, seeing Gu Zhilin's condition, decided to take him to isolation.
But when they were about to move the cot, they found that Lu Jin'an was gripping the edge of the bed tightly and wouldn't let go.
The doctor spoke somewhat awkwardly: "General Lu."
Heaven knows how much force Lu Jin'an used to stop herself from letting go, watching as these people pushed Gu Zhilin out.
"Where are you taking him?" he couldn't help but ask.
Knowing that this was Alhpa's strong possessiveness at play, the doctor cautiously replied, "It's in the next room. General Lu, don't worry."
"He was differentiated from an ancient person, so ordinary inhibitors cannot be used. You should not use any medication without consulting a doctor."
The doctor nodded in agreement and quickly took Gu Zhilin away, then sent him to a ward for isolation.
After all, there are quite a few Alhpas in the military hospital. If the pheromones spread, it's hard to say what might happen.
After Gu Zhilin was sent to the next ward for isolation, he felt even worse when he found that the cool mint scent around him was gone.
He writhed helplessly on the bed, the fire within him burning ever brighter.
As time went on, he even found the estrus cycle more uncomfortable than the one he experienced during his first differentiation.
The doctors observing the situation outside also noticed this.
"He is an ancient person who differentiated later, so his estrus is more intense than that of a normal omega."
Another nurse, Oemga, said with some concern, "I feel like his pheromones are off. They smell sweet, but they give off a sense of oppression. It's even stronger than some of the Alhpas I've encountered."
The doctor looked at the nurse beside him in shock: "Are you sure?"
The nurse nodded: "I've been a nurse for so many years, what kind of pheromones haven't I encountered?"
Seeing that Gu Zhilin was getting more and more uncomfortable, the doctor quickly went next door to ask Lu Jin'an: "General Lu, your... partner doesn't seem to be able to get through the heat."
"What do you mean?" Upon hearing this, Lu Jin'an almost sat up in bed, but the doctor helped him up so that he wouldn't aggravate his wound.
"Your partner's situation is rather special. Moreover, we've discovered that his pheromones are also quite unusual, carrying a kind of oppressive quality that omega pheromones shouldn't have."
Lu Jin'an already knew this, and he said impatiently, "Get to the point."
"It's probably because he's from ancient times, and his differentiation was later and not normal, so his estrus is more severe, and his physical condition seems to be unable to hold up now. I'm afraid he'll have to use an inhibitor."
“No.” Lu Jin’an frowned. “The people at the Life Research Center said that his condition cannot be treated with other inhibitors.”
“Then… I’m afraid only marking can alleviate the condition. Perhaps you could give him a temporary mark, General?” the doctor suggested cautiously.
The words "temporary marker" were incredibly tempting to Lu Jin'an.
He almost agreed, but then he thought of Gu Zhilin's innocent eyes, devoid of any impurities.
He simply couldn't bring himself to take advantage of someone in distress.
He thought for a moment, then took off his own clothes and handed them over: "Put my coat in first. My pheromones can soothe him when he differentiates, and maybe they can help a little."
The doctor took the coat but still said, "This little bit of pheromone scent probably won't be enough to help him get through it. Why doesn't the general just mark it directly..."
“No.” Lu Jin’an said coldly, “I will bring him inhibitors. You must ensure his safety first.”
He was about to get up as he spoke.
This startled the doctor: "General Lu, your injuries haven't healed yet, what are you trying to do?"
“Go back and get him some pheromones. I can go into his room,” Lu Jin’an said coldly.
“But your current condition is not suitable for leaving the hospital.” The doctor firmly disagreed.
"I won't die. I'm in the military region now, I'll be fine. I'll come back once I get the inhibitors." Lu Jin'an insisted on getting out of bed, enduring the excruciating pain all over her body, and was about to leave.
"As your doctor, General Lu, I do not allow you to leave the hospital now." The doctor finally stood firm for once.
"As a doctor, are you just going to watch an omega suffer through his heat? His body is very fragile right now. Do you know what it means if he can't make it through?" Lu Jin'an gave the doctor a cold look.
That one look sent chills down the doctor's spine, and he could no longer utter the words to stop her.
In the end, all I could say was, "Then I'll arrange for a caregiver to go with you."
This time, Lu Jin'an did not refuse and stepped out of the ward.
He glanced at Gu Zhilin, who was in pain next door, and felt a pang of heartache. He could only force himself to endure the pain and quicken his pace.
