Middle Child Syndrome - Chapter 351

Chapter 351: Ch 351: Recovery
Damian let out a growl of frustration, and that was the second Emily decided to act.

Poor dominant alpha could see what Emily was about to do. But he could not dodge the attack because he held Rika and did not want to let go of her.

The sharp needle left no residue as it sunk into Damian’s arm. Emily had gotten a fast-acting suppressant, and she quickly gave it to Damian to make him relax.

“Phew! Finally! I am not as fast as Rika is in first-air and pheromone injections, but this should do. Thank god these do not need to be entered into the blood, or I would be screwed.”

Emily sighed as she watched Damian try and fail at controlling his body.

One second, he was awake; the next, he had fallen asleep.

When Damian fell asleep, Emily walked close to him and decided to help Rika make it to the bed.

It happened just in time for the doctor to return with an injection and give it to Rika.

It made Rika’s expression relax, and Emily also breathed a sigh of relief at seeing her lover finally relax.

“I will stress this again since it did not seem you got my message. This better not happen again, alright! If your friend,” “or partner,” “goes through this again, you can say goodbye to her.

Her body does not have enough energy to keep the transformation going. You don’t want to overwork it by introducing all these external factors. Did you understand?”

The old lady asked in a scary tone.

Emily felt her back itch in shock and quickly stepped back to avoid the doctor’s wrath.

“I-I get it! It’s not like you told us about this beforehand. Did we know we needed to regulate how much pheromone Rika’s body inhaled?”

Emily questioned, but she felt more guilty than annoyed.

She should not have questioned the doctor but ensured Rika was fine. But her pride made her lash out at anyone who was not Rika.

“Lashing out at me like this will not make you or your friend or partner feel better. So, stop wasting your time on your emotions and focus on what is important. And next time, call me when I am less busy.”

The doctor left quickly, and Emily felt her head spin.

Too much had been said and done already. She had no idea what she should do now.

But one thing was clear—she would not put Rika in this much danger again. When Damian wakes up, she will talk with him and figure out what to do.

If marking Rika permanently was the only solution, then that was what the pair would do. Rika will have to come around eventually and see that this was for her good, right?”

…

‘Ugh, this hurts! Fuck! My whole body feels like it is going to break apart. What should I do now? I don’t want to get up at the moment.’

Rika opened her eyes, and she instantly groaned at the pain she was feeling. Her body felt like it was about to break apart.

Still, all was not so bad. The comforting pheromones around Rika helped her calm down and chase the pain away. She could relax as long as she smelled them.

It also helped her open her eyes and face the world.

The first thing Rika saw was Damian lying beside her. He was fast asleep, and Rika had not seen him like this except after his rut.

She even reached out to poke him, but Damian did not wake up.

It should have been a cause for concern, but her instincts told her that Damian was not hurt. She let you sigh tiredly before looking around.

Rika recognized the room but did not recall when and how she entered it. The last thing she remembered was-

‘Those shameless scoundrels! How could they think of having sex in public as safe? I must have asked them to take me inside or something.’

Now that Rika could guess what happened, she could relax again and push her body up.

She took one step, but her legs went weak, and she collapsed. It felt different from how her legs went weak after sex.

This tiredness came with medicine, and Rika suddenly felt she had blanked out for a lot.

“Rika, did you get up? You should rest a little longer to wake up later and return home. Here, have a bit of this. It will help you feel better.”

Emily held some kind of dessert, which she handed Rika to eat. The cold and soft treat was chewy but not overly so.

It made Rika realize how hungry she was, and she devoured that treat.

“It looks like you’re hungry. Shall I get you something to eat? We cannot do anything spicy or overly stimulating right now. I’ll look for something light your body can handle.”

Emily promised before she went out to grab whatever she could.

Rika devoured the food with a vigor she had never felt in her life before. When she started, it felt like her stomach was a bottom hole.

But she began to feel complete with only five bites.

Emily seemed to have expected it, so she pulled the food away from Rika before she could overeat it and make herself feel sick.

“This much should be fine. Take your time with the food and finish it at your own pace. Let me know if you need anything else.

Ah, and don’t worry about Damian! I knocked him out since he was being a pain in the ass. He will wake up once it’s time.”

Emily’s smile felt dangerous. Rika thought it would be best for him to keep her head low.

Thankfully, Rika still had some time before she needed to head out for her work, and her body recovered in time for her to head out.

Emily does not look happy with her decision but does not stop Rika.
