Reborn with a billionaire

Foreknowledge and Return

When Luna was thirteen， she was very attached to Blackwood.

　　At that time， Blackwood had not yet moved out. Because Luna had undergone several major surgeries and needed someone to take care of her， he moved his work home to do it.

　　It didn't last long, only a month and a half.

　　Originally， it was a small duplex villa， with the second floor converted into a fully equipped medical room. Stepping outside， there was the toy room and small garden that Julian had made for Luna. However， because Luna was afraid of the medical room， she no longer wanted to go upstairs， and consequently， she also refused to visit the small garden. From then on， she truly lived in seclusion on the first floor of the house for a long time.

　　Blackwood was working， she would always sit next to him. While he took a shower， with the door closed， she would anxiously pace in circles until Blackwood finished and came out， then she would finally feel at ease.

　　Sometimes Luna would seek him out to talk， like a child shyly flirting with their crush， bringing her snacks to discuss with him:“Look at this， She(the doctor) said I can only eat a little， but in reality， I can eat a lot.“

　　Blackwood would generally respond to such aimless remarks with a perfunctory smile.

　　Their worlds are worlds apart; in Blackwood's eyes are financial statements and various big data， while in Luna's eyes are only her cartoons， snacks， and—Silas Blackwood.

　　Later， Blackwood moved away， and Luna initially didn't realize what this meant， only knowing that he hadn't come for a long time.

　　At that time， her treatment was beginning to show results， and she started to contemplate the meaning behind people's actions. By the time she became aware， she was crying in front of the doctor.

　　She asked the doctor，“Does he not like me anymore?“

　　The doctor said，“No way， how could he not like you? You are his Omega， he is your alpha， you are inherently inseparable. He's just too busy.“

　　One good thing about AD patients is that they are easy to please. Unless they experience significant stress， they are generally carefree and untroubled.

　　——

　　Those who are as obedient as Luna are even easier to coax. Although she harbored doubts about Blackwood， she gradually relaxed her guard under the soothing effect of his pheromones.

　　Every night， Blackwood would still lift Luna out of the bathtub， doing nothing else but that， tucking her in， and then turning his back to her to sleep.

　　Luna would still sneak back after thinking he was asleep， and then run back before dawn. There were also a few times when Luna accidentally fell asleep early and forgot to wake up; after a deep sleep， she found that nothing frightening had happened， leaving her a bit bewildered.

　　Once， Blackwood turned over in his sleep， pressing down on Luna's little bear.

　　Luna woke up earlier than him， wanting to pull the little bear out， but afraid of waking up the big demon Blackwood， so he could only stand there in a daze.

　　Blackwood opened his eyes and saw Luna staring at him with wide eyes， looking as if she wanted to move but dared not to.

　　“What's wrong?“ he asked.

　　Luna said，“You squished my teddy bear.“

　　Blackwood said lightly，“Okay， I'm sorry. Can I apologize to the little bear? Did I hurt it?“

　　He got up and patted the flattened polar bear， restoring its softness， and then placed it in Luna's arms.

　　Luna stared blankly at him， then at the stuffed bear in her arms.

　　She touched the little bear's round head and ears， and seriously told Blackwood，“The little bear says it's okay.“

　　Then ran away.

　　Blackwood sat up， groping at the bedside for his cigarettes， but he couldn't find them right away; he just squinted at the child's retreating figure.

The living room and bedroom are not far apart; from the bed， he can see Luna's silhouette sitting on the floor， a delicate and beautiful profile， especially focused while watching cartoons， occasionally appearing as if lost in thought， like a normal person.

　　The second week after Silas Blackwood returned， he had the doctor conduct a pheromone level test for Luna.

　　Blackwood said，“Her pheromone will be abnormal in two months， you should check first.“

　　The doctor brought his assistant to the house， taking Luna to the medical room on the second floor. When talking about this matter， she joked，“I now have to suspect that the boss and the others have developed an algorithm to predict the future. Just listen to his tone; in two months， things will be like this and that...“

　　The assistant laughed and said，“I'm afraid it's true. Mr. Blackwood's company has been developing rapidly recently. I heard just last week that a rival was planning to undermine him， and he handled it as if he knew it was coming. No wonder he can be the boss. Being an Alpha really does have its advantages.“

　　“Indeed. A and O are both rare genders， and not to mention that many will regress after adulthood. If you want offspring to be A， the partner must be O. Although gene surgery is available now， I haven't heard of anyone successfully turning a beta into an A.“ The doctor said， glancing at Luna intentionally and sighed.

　　The reason why Blackwood keeps Luna by his side is probably this. A obedient and well-behaved O， who can bear his offspring and can be supported with a little money， what’s wrong with that?

　　The assistant hesitated a bit:“Then Luna's illness...“

　　“Mr. Blackwood probably isn't worried. If the child is born with autism， early intervention combined with gene editing will be enough.“ The doctor sighed again，“How could Mr. Blackwood make a mistake in such matters? The things he truly cares about are naturally foolproof. Luna just doesn't have that fate.“

　　Luna lay on the hospital bed， allowing them to extract various things from her and then analyze and test them.

　　The doctor walked out from the inner room holding the test report， staring at it while exclaiming，“Well， the gentleman was quite right. Luna's pheromones have been a bit unusual these past few days， steadily rising， and soon they will break through the critical point.“

　　The doctor and the assistant exchanged a glance and fell silent in unison.

　　Luna's previous heat cycles had been very subtle， having no significant impact on her. And now the test results mean: Luna is about to experience her first true heat cycle in her life.

　　Moreover， it is not suitable to use inhibitors on Luna in this situation.

　　Luna has used countless potions since she was young， and now even anesthetics are somewhat ineffective for her. Not only may the suppressants not be effective， but they can also have side effects on Luna's body.

　　The doctor said，“I'll go ask the boss.“

　　She and her assistant turned and walked into the analysis room. Just as they pushed the door open， Luna suddenly crawled up from the hospital bed， barefoot， and ran over to grab the doctor.

　　Luna thought they were leaving， her tone urgent:“Doctor， I don't want to have a baby， I'm not having a baby.“

　　Before the doctor could say anything， Luna was already crying:“I don't want to die.“

She reached out desperately to wipe her tears and choked out，“I will be obedient， I will listen to you， just don't make me have a child.“

　　Luna rarely cried， and when the doctor saw her condition，she panicked. She first held her in his arms and comforted her，“Okay， don't cry， don't cry. Let's go ask Mr，Blackwood， shall we?“

　　Luna sobbed，“He won't agree. He wants me to bear him alpha children. I heard what you said.“

　　The doctor awkwardly and guilt-ridden comforted，“No， dear， we were just joking， don't be afraid， Luna， don't cry now.“

　　She signaled her assistant to get the sedative.

　　Luna was already shaking all over from crying， and if this continued， it could very likely lead to convulsions.

　　However， just as the assistant had taken the syringe and had not yet had the chance to give Luna an injection， she had already slowly quieted down—she suddenly lifted her head from the doctor's arms and looked towards the door with tearful eyes.

　　The doctor and the assistant， both Betas， were completely unaware of the strong alpha pheromones sweeping through the room like a tide.

　　Luna was like a young beast caught by the scruff of its neck， instantly calming down. She instinctively sought out that strong yet comforting presence that made she want to get close， but hesitated the moment she saw the person at the door.

　　Blackwood waved to her.

　　Luna didn't move， so he walked over， pulled Luna away from the doctor， and reached out to wipe her tears.

　　He whispered，“I promise you， we won't have children.“

　　Luna stubbornly said，“You're lying to me， the alpha keeps the Omega at home just to make her have baby.“

　　She had just overheard the conversation that took place in the medical room， and she could easily understand the meaning behind those words now.

　　Blackwood's gaze swept over the doctor and the assistant， who were as silent as the grave.

　　The doctor quickly remedied the situation and told Luna，“We were just acting， it was a trick， Luna， don't take it seriously.“

　　Luna lowered her head and said nothing.

　　Blackwood rubbed her head and said，“Go play with your bear.“

　　Luna immediately felt as if she had been granted a reprieve and rushed downstairs.

　　The doctor cleared his throat， picked up the test report， and mentioned the matter of Luna's pheromones to him.

　　Blackwood seemed to have other matters to attend to and， sounding somewhat impatient， interrupted her before the doctor had finished speaking:“There are only two ways to resolve her situation. One is to remove the gland to turn her into a Beta， and the other is to find an A to stabilize her， right?“

　　The words were snatched away， and the doctor was taken aback for a moment， then awkwardly said，“Well，master， which one would you like to choose?“

　　She estimated that Blackwood was ready to choose the first option.

　　His reaction was so quick that he thought of a solution even before she did; he must have been prepared in advance.

　　Luna does not seek to please others. apart from being raised by Blackwood into a beautiful canary， she seems like a burden. Once her glands are removed and she becomes a Beta， Blackwood will no longer have the responsibility of being her guardian marking her， after all， he has many other options.

　　By then， Luna's path will probably lead her to a special school for autistic children， and after entering society， she will only be able to do some repetitive， mechanical charity work. Although being bullied is certain， at least she will have enough to eat， as the welfare system of the Interstellar Alliance has always been good.

　　“The first type， do it quickly， don't procrastinate，“ Blackwood said.

　　He was so straightforward that the doctor felt a bit reluctant:“Then what about Luna afterwards...“

　　“Even if she becomes a Beta， I am still her guardian， and I will take her to school， so you don't need to worry about that.“ Blackwood looked at the doctor and asked，“Why do you all think I would send her away?“

　　The doctor chuckled awkwardly， not daring to answer directly:“It's not that we're worried you might not want Luna anymore， it's that Luna is just too lovable. We all think that if one day you get tired of her， we could take her back and raise her ourselves.“

Blackwood smiled， noncommittal.

　　At that moment， his phone rang. The doctor glanced over without paying much attention and saw that the caller was his secretary. The noise on the other end was a bit chaotic， but the voice of the person on the line was clearer and more powerful， inevitably reaching her ears.

　　“Master， Mr.Julian has returned today.“

　　Then there were some words， probably about the schedule or something， which the doctor didn't quite catch， but for some reason， he felt a sudden shiver.

　　Blackwood paused for a moment， as if in silence， then said softly，“I understand. Have someone pick him up. Tell him not to come home; I'll have dinner with him outside.“

　　Suddenly hit by the exclusive gossip of the Blackwood family， the doctor felt a bit awkward and had no choice but to lower his head and pretend to scroll through his phone.

　　She had heard that the Blackwood family originally had two alpha sons， but the younger one regressed to Beta after turning fifteen， so he was sent away by their father.

　　The doctor had been involved with Luna's medical records since she was about seven or eight years old and still remembered that the earliest form filled out by her guardian did not seem to be written by Silas Blackwood. That form was filled out in a rambling manner， as if the guardian wanted to tell her every little detail about Luna. It was in that earliest medical record that the doctor learned of the existence of Julian Blackwood. Thus， the doctor also understood that Luna was actually raised by two people， although Luna could not distinguish between the two of them.

　　However， when the doctor first visited Luna， Julian was no longer at the Blackwood residence. The internal power structure of the Blackwood enterprise is complex， but the fact that the two brothers were able to raise Luna together seems to confirm that their relationship is not bad.

　　It's just that so many years have passed， and now no one can clearly say what the situation is.

　　The doctor was frantically scrolling through his phone， distractedly checking the surveillance of Luna watching television.

　　Blackwood hung up the phone and said，“I have something to deal， maybe can't come back tonight， take care of Luna.“

　　The doctor came to his senses and quickly nodded，“Alright， you can rest assured to leave it to us. Also， Mr. Blackwood， in order to prepare for Luna's surgery， we will start giving her nutritional fluids tomorrow. Her health is too poor right now， and her weight is also below standard.“

　　He nodded， took a few steps， then turned back to ask her，“Do you need me to do something else?“

　　“When you come back， you can bring her some snacks she likes. Before the surgery， she will have to avoid certain foods， so let's make her happy for now，“ the doctor said.

　　Blackwood nodded again.

　　The doctor thought he was about to leave， but unexpectedly， he remained here.

　　The doctor followed his gaze and looked over at Luna， who was watching television while hugging a bear.

　　Then she heard Blackwood ask，“For an autistic person... how do you determine whether her attachment and trust in others come from pheromones or from emotions?“

　　The doctor suddenly didn't hear clearly， opened her mouth and said，“Ah...?“

　　Blackwood did not wait for her response， lowered his eyes to pick up the documents on the table， and walked to the door.

　　He turned back to take a glance at Luna.

　　Luna just happened to lift her eyes to look at him， just like every time he came back. Although it was a gaze of testing and expectation， it was also one that was waiting for him to hurry up and leave， so she could run off and play.

　　Blackwood said，“I'm leaving.“

　　Luna nodded and said“mm，“ then immediately turned her head back to watch the animation.

　　The doctor saw this and quickly came over to scold Luna:“Dear，The gentleman is leaving， remember to say goodbye， be careful on the road， do you hear me? I taught you this before， have you forgotten it all?“

　　Luna reluctantly called out，“Silly， goodbye， be careful on the road.“

　　'At this moment， she was able to recognize me'...

　　Blackwood said nothing and gently closed the door...
