"Patcha..."  

The door opened and Chalida - Patcharee's cousin was the one who walked in at this moment. Looking at Patcharee's condition on the bed, Chalida suddenly froze as she could completely understand what had happened to her cousin. Because last night, Chalida had seen Patcharee walking out of her stepmother's room, and since then, she had felt that something was wrong. And the lingering pheromone smell made everything even clearer.

"This is definitely that evil woman's plan. It's just... we don't have any evidence to charge her. But don't worry, because when I'm still here, no one can hurt you anymore." Without asking Patcharee anything further, Chalida just hugged her cousin and said words of comfort. And Chalida's eyes when Patcharee was sobbing in her arms also carried determination.

"Doctor Jade, the patient found at Moonwatch Hill has regained consciousness."

Jindarat was currently sitting in her room, at this moment Thanita - the head nurse of the hospital came to report on the condition of the patient she had saved a few days ago. Of course, this result made Jindarat feel happy in her heart because she had fulfilled her responsibility, the responsibility of a doctor who saved the patient's life.

"Let me come to see how she is now."

Having said that, Jindarat then went with Thanita to the patient's room to check on the situation. Upon arrival, Jindarat was briefed by her colleague, Doctor Kamneung, about the patient's condition. That patient currently seemed to not remember anything related to her background, nor did she remember the reason why she had fallen into a dangerous situation that almost cost her life.

What could be known is that the other person might be from Devanthira Kingdom because of the way she dressed and her use of the Devanthira language instead of Avaloria's. Another thing Kamneung could know was that she was also fluent in the common language of the two countries, which helped a lot in their communication.

"For now, just continue to monitor her, to observe her daily habits, so we can find the appropriate therapy to treat her temporary amnesia symptoms."

Jindarat, after hearing what Kamneung had to say, also came up with a solution, and then she also entered the room and sat next to the patient's hospital bed. Thanita also followed, standing right next to Jindarat.

"This is Doctor Jindarat. She's the one who operated on you."

"So, Doctor Jindarat is the one who saved my life?" Aphatsara heard what Thanita just said, immediately asked again and received a nod of confirmation.

"You can call me Doctor Jade. Actually, it was thanks to your strong will to live that we were able to pull you out of the clutches of Death. We can't determine your identity yet, so we need a name to call you. Furthermore, we also need to arrange a place for you to stay after you leave the hospital."

"About this, you can let her stay with me. We are both Omegas, so there's no problem. As for her name, we can call her Mali."

"Mali, meaning jasmine flowers. This name is very suitable for you." because of the jasmine-scented pheromones emanating from her, this name was entirely suitable. Hearing this, Aphatsara nods in acceptance of this temporary name for herself.

And then it was time for Jindarat to leave, watching her figure leave the hospital room, the faint scent of Sandalwood still lingering in the air. Aphatsara didn't know why she had a special feeling towards this doctor, not just because the other person was her savior.

"Nita, can you tell me about Doctor Jindarat?"

That afternoon when Thanita came to monitor the situation and take care of Aphatsara, she also took the opportunity to ask the nurse about the doctor who helped her stay alive, and also the one who arranged everything for her when she could not remember who she was.

"Doctor Jindarat, everyone here also calls her Doctor Jade. She is a military doctor and holds the rank of Major, but beyond that, Doctor Jade has another, much more noble identity."

"More noble identity? What's that, Nita?"

"Doctor...no, it should be Countess Jindarat when referring to her parents. Princess Jindarat is the only daughter of Princess Helena and Deputy Commander Phanumas Wongsathorn, which means she is the biological niece of the King. Beautiful, talented, and of noble status, she is the ideal model of many Omegas throughout Prachan Province, and even the entire Avaloria, except for Princess Katherine, who already has a fiancée."

"So Nita, do you like Countess Jindarat too?" hearing this question from Aphatsara, Thanita has to hold back her laughter from her naivety.

"Me? Like Countess Jindarat? Actually, I'm already married, so even though there's such an excellent Alpha like her near me, I still feel that my partner is the most perfect. Besides, I think you're more like someone who likes Countess Jindarat here."

"I... I'm probably just curious. As for talking about that, it's probably too early."

Patcharee had now returned to Phrajanthara, but the memory of that night still lingered in her mind whenever she looked at the silver ring on her finger. Chalida had hidden everything from that night from her, and Patcharee herself had not told anyone about what had happened, but that did not help her erase them as if they had never happened. She did not want to blame Kanthika when she knew that she was also a victim of a sinister plan, but every time she thought about it, her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Chalida, after that incident, she also felt the strange change in Patcharee. What her cousin had gone through, Chalida herself understood how bad it could be when the other person's dignity would no longer be respected if everything was revealed. That was the fate that all Omegas had to endure. Criticism was inevitable when losing virginity no matter what the reason.

Being born an Omega was already a disadvantage.

Knowing that Patcharee was in a bad mood, Chalida tried to find a way to make her cousin happy. Even if it was just for a few short moments, it would at least make Patcharee forget her worries for a while. The two of them temporarily left the Witsakul mansion and walked around the city to ease their minds.

"There's someone injured up ahead."

It was the driver's voice as he stopped the car, informing the two ladies that there was someone blocking their way ahead. Chalida heard this and immediately got out of the car, together with the driver, to check on the person lying in front of their car.

"A Beta, she's bleeding." Seeing that the other person had injuries on her body, Chalida could think of nothing more than telling the driver to put her in the car for treatment. Human life was important, of course, with Chalida's personality, she couldn't possibly ignore.

A few days passed, and now Aphatsara had been discharged from the hospital. As Jindarat suggested, she had now been moved to live with Thanita in a house not far from the hospital. Thanita used to have her partner, but her partner was currently working with Princess Katherine in Helverra, so there were only three people here now, including Thanita's younger brother Thatree.

"Please stay there and protect them until we know the identity of that Omega."

Thatree was a Beta, so living with the two of them wasn't too much of a problem. Moreover, they could rest assured that Thatree would be able to protect both of the Omegas in case of an emergency. But that still didn't make Jindarat completely at ease, so she secretly sent someone to prepare for any emergency situations.

"Having such a beautiful Omega there really makes others worried.

"What do you mean, Kam?"

After the person Jindarat hired left, Kamneung's appearance and his words caused Jindarat to frown and then question the hidden meaning in his words. Based on the current situation, Jindarat could completely guess that the words were related to "Mali".

"Don't you see, My Lady, people are standing in front of Thanita's house, looking for what? If they were looking at Nita, they wouldn't have waited until today. Besides, she's already married. And except Nita, who else in that house is worthy of the Alphas' attention?"

"Then just say it's because of Mali. I'm not surprised, Mali is really beautiful. I just don't like the way you're being so secretive, Kam."

"So it turns out that Doctor Jade of Prachan Military Hospital, Countess Jindarat Wongsathorn, also knows how to appreciate beauty. I thought that besides performing surgeries in the operating room and burying her head in piles of medical documents, Countess Jindarat Wongsathorn wouldn't know anything else."

"You talk as if I'm a mindless machine, Kamneung."

"Isn't it true that those with Valemont blood are all moving icebergs, like Crown Princess Katherine. Princess Jindarat is also half of that bloodline." 

"Fortunately for you, these words will not reach Her Royal Highness Katherine's ears. Otherwise, you will be frozen and returned to your family. And those with the Valemont bloodline, they will never be indifferent toward those who are important to them."
