Rebirth
"You think he keeps you around out of love? Don't be ridiculous! It's just that permanent bond he can't shake off! Let me spell it out for you - I'm carrying an alpha boy. The Blackwood heir. The future CEO of Alliance Group. Do us all a favor and crawl back to whatever hole you came from before he marries me!"
The crystal chandelier cast a cold light in the luxurious living room, as fingers painted with nude nail polish almost dug into the genuine leather sofa, and the woman dressed like a socialite spoke in a sharp voice.
The girl in front of her had not looked at her from beginning to end, only quietly staring at the Persian velvet carpet before her.
She had been sitting cross-legged on the ground in this position for a long time, seemingly oblivious to the outside world. Her pale ankles showed a bluish hue in the warm breeze.
Until the intruder couldn't help but want to curse, she spoke up—
“It will die.“
“What?“ the woman asked in astonishment, her delicately drawn brows knitting together.
“An Omega who conceives a child of the Alpha gender will die.“
Luna finally explained her thoughts. However, her tone was very strange, lacking any fluctuations or changes in pitch.
The inorganic statement resembling a replicant made the noblewoman take a step back. This Omega, raised by Silas Blackwood in the villa, clearly had an angelic face, yet at this moment, it resembled a simulated AI, which was quite unsettling.
She originally intended to come and show off to this acknowledged consort hidden in Blackwood's house, but unexpectedly found her so young, probably still a high school student, which was already enough to be frustrating.
Not to mention that this girl looks mentally unstable, really unlucky!
When the docter arrived, this was the scene she saw.
That woman hurriedly slammed the door and left behind a sentence:“Lunatic! From Silas down to you, every last one of you Blackwoods is batshit crazy!"
The doctor walked in with a smile and casually closed the door behind him.
“Hi!Luna!.“
Luna still kept her head down, looking at the carpet, until the doctor squatted down beside her and they both looked at the same spot, then she moved slightly.
“Hello.“
This is what Blackwood taught her, saying that one must understand politeness and know how to address people.
For so many years, she has learned many times, yet she has only mastered this one phrase:“Hello,“ even if it is not the first time meeting the other person. Even if Blackwood himself came, she would only receive this one phrase:“Hello.“
Luna Merritt's autism is congenital, and she has undergone a total of three surgeries. The first two were performed by the medical team under the Blackwood family, using radiation to destroy parts of her DNA throughout her body and suspend self-repair functions, in order to reattach normal genes; the last one was a minimally invasive surgery on her brain.
The surgery was very successful, but Luna, as an Omega, has a weak body, and the follow-up treatment could not keep up, missing the best external induced growth environment. Although her condition has improved and she is able to live independently, she still has severe social and cognitive impairments.
The doctor asked her,“Luna,do you have any idea who just walked in here?”
Luna spoke clearly and uttered a name.
——That is the name of the mistress character who destroys other people's families in a TV drama she recently watched.
The doctor smiled and reached out to touch her head:“Good girl, Luna. but don't listen to that liar. Mr. Blackwood would never touch another. She's already been claimed - couldn't carry his heir if her life depended on it.”
Luna still did not speak.
This is not a good phenomenon. According to the medical reports that the doctor has to submit to Blackwood every day, the doctor and Blackwood are the only two people Luna is relatively willing to communicate with.
Today, Luna seemed unusually silent.
The doctor decided to change the subject:“So Luna, how did you know that the Omega will die if she is pregnant with an alpha child? Which TV show did you see that in?“
“It's not a TV show,“ Luna suddenly said.
Immediately, she raised her clear and bright eyes, looking seriously at the doctor, her tone rising, her expression becoming anxious:“No family present! Mentally unstable patient! Can't recite medical history or allergies! Nineteen weeks pregnant and zero prenatal care! Now we've got a teenage Omega carrying an alpha fetus with no desensitization therapy! The baby's pheromones are rejecting the mother's hormones! We're losing them both! Where's the damn alpha who knocked her up? What kind of bastard alpha risks his Omega like this?!"
That kind of vivid tone seems as if she really is a doctor in a certain Omega hospital operating room, overwhelmed and in a hurry.
Even though the doctor had seen and known a lot, understanding that autistic patients often start to mimic others' behaviors due to various environmental triggers, what she said now still scared her into a cold sweat.
This statement is really too real and too logical. However, the environment where Luna is located did not trigger the incentive for her to say this.
After she finished speaking, she immediately lowered her eyes again and shifted her interest to the carpet in front of her.
The doctor still decided not to scare herself. She softened her voice and gently told Luna,“It's not like that. An Omega won't die just because she is pregnant with an alpha child. This can be tested in advance, and with pheromone desensitization treatment during pregnancy, dangers can be avoided. Luna, what did you see today?“
She is silent again.
“The patient is uncooperative.“
The doctor made a note in the memorandum
“Perhaps it was a nightmare, perhaps it was the weather, that made Miss Merritt feel uneasy; she was in a state close to fear, somewhat unstable. This was the first time this had happened in recent months. There was also a possible trigger; the new cartoon 'The Adventures of Bear Rebirth' that she had just started watching today might have factors that triggered her change in state, as she only watched the first episode. But when I was about to change the channel, she threw a tantrum, which is also an unknown.“
The report is sent to“Blackwood.“
Electronic data drifts through interstellar channels, arriving in another person's eyes.
Silas Blackwood is the guardian of Luna Merritt. Although the two are only 5 years apart, compared to Luna's extreme youthfulness, Blackwood himself is an extremely mature and steady individual.
As the eldest son of the Blackwood family, he secured the top position of the alliance's business empire within three years. The aggression, sharpness, and high intelligence inherent to an Alpha were fully manifested in him.
The doctor had no hope that Blackwood would reply to her, nor did she expect him to open the email and take a look.
A long illness at home has no filial children; having a lover instead is the same.
The surface is the guardian, but everyone knows clearly that if A becomes the guardian of O, and the two happen to have no blood relation and are of similar age, it represents what.
The doctor has been concerned about Luna Merritt's condition for nearly ten years and knows that she is extremely dependent on Silas Blackwood. Before the professional medical team took over, he basically raised her by hand and she listened to him very much. Whatever he said was right; he was her god.
Blackwood hasn't come back to live here for three years. When he occasionally returns, it's just to have a meal with Luna, and his attitude is no different from how one would treat a pet.
“Ding dong.“ The phone alerts.
Blackwood: Let me confirm,she only watch the part in the cartoon where the little bear drowns and then is reborn?
The boss who has been diving for years actually replied with such a long message. The doctor finally has a chance to fight for something for his patient, so she quickly typed:“Yes, you knew it all along, so did miss Merritt show this kind of condition before?“
There was no reply over there.
Alliance Star Calendar May 8, 1921, spring has passed, and summer is about to arrive.
The beautiful girl changed into a milky white long-sleeve T-shirt, exposing her fair and slender neck. After hearing the doctor leave, there was another sound from the fingerprint lock at the door.
Inside the room, she could not be seen, but the camera at the door had already recorded the shadow of the visitor, a graceful yet slender silhouette, with indifferent and deep features, a girl with both good looks and charm.
She perked up like a cat that heard its owner's footsteps.
This is Luna's first day after rebirth; she has returned to a year ago.
A year from today, she will die on the operating table, having been pregnant for ten months, with a highly aggressive alpha baby in her belly, just like Silas Blackwood.
She is a child who has been withdrawn since she was little, with a dull perception of pain, always a beat behind, but she still feels pain—her body has developed a tolerance to anesthetics and is enduring the tearing pain of childbirth. She is both in pain and cold, wanting to cry but unable to, shivering all over from the cold, with the only warmth coming from the words of a female doctor beside the operating table.
She heard her say:“It's too late... Just nineteen. Designer clothes but no next of kin. Not even someone to hold her hand when..."
