Chapter 62
We drove straight back to the Lombardy mansion.
Emperor Jovanes offered to call a doctor immediately, but my father refused.
On the train on the way home, my father laughed and said with a confused face that he was fine.
"We can't let the Royal Family know about Lombardy's internal affairs."
Even though she had something wrong with her body now, she was still worried about family matters.
Fortunately, grandfather sent people to the mansion first, so the preparations were quick.
By the time we arrived, officers were waiting on a stretcher.
However, they did not know the reason, and when they opened the carriage and saw my father lying down, their skin all hardened.
"Ah, sorry."
Dad lay on the stretcher and laughed.
“......Don't talk.”
Grandfather said in a low voice to my father.
The bedroom was fully prepared for my father.
As we opened the door of our residence, Clerivan and Louryl waited with stiff faces.
"You're still here, Mr. Clerivan."
"Is that important now?."
For a number of years, even in business, Clerivan and his father always spoke respectfully to each other.
“How about doctor?”
Grandpa asked the butler.
"I called Dr. O'Malley's."
Everything happened so fast.
Dad lay down on the bed and rubbed his right leg, and grandpa sat down next to him.
And, the people gathered to help us.
I can't bear to accept this situation.
But no one knew why my father was lying down at this moment.
Except me.
Among those who were busy moving, I had trouble regulating my facial expressions.
To appease my father who did not know what illness he was suffering from, I put on a serious face.
However, my efforts seemed meaningless in front of father.
"Tia."
Father called.
The bedroom became quiet.
Busy people stopped for a moment and looked at me.
Maybe everyone forgot about my existence.
"Dad's fine."
Kata, my.
"I know."
I answered, hiding the restlessness of my heart as much as possible.
"Yes, because Tia we're smart."
I couldn't laugh even though I saw his friendly smile.
"You don't have to be afraid."
I can't answer.
i'mfrightened.
The illness my father suffered from was a terrible disease.
And that disease took my father's life from me in the last life.
It seems like the word will come out of my lips.
Instead of saying something else, I lowered my head.
"Tia...?"
Dad was surprised by my reaction and opened his eyes wide.
Oh, I should be a little more calm.
However, the shadow of my father lying in bed in the past overlaps with the shadow on the hospital bed now.
The best I can do is bite my lower lip.
Are you worried about my condition?
Even with an uncomfortable body, she got out of bed and tried to approach me.
"Dr. O'Malley is here."
Fortunately, Dr. O'Malley came with the voice of the butler and carried the doctor's bag.
"Can you leave the room for a minute?"
Grandpa said to the people.
Soon after, it was just my father and me, my grandfather, and Dr. O'Malley was left in the room.
“What's your symptoms?”
" my right leg.......”.
Father calmly explained his condition.
I know even if I don't listen.
No, I know what will happen in the future.
Numbness that begins with the right foot will get worse over the course of a week.
Dr. O'Malley did his best to prescribe the drug, but it never worked.
At best, it only reduces the discomfort due to paralysis.
And in a month, the other leg will start to be paralyzed.
Another month, the range of motion of the right arm narrowed sharply.
Other Month.
He couldn't use his right hand at all, and my father, who couldn't move his neck a week before my birthday, had trouble breathing.
It was then that I prayed and begged all night for my father to die quickly because I could not bear to see my father tormented.
3 Days before my birthday.
He took his last breath and closed his eyes.
Unstoppable memories flooded my memories.
"Florentia, come here."
Grandfather gestured for me to approach the bed so that I wouldn't feel alone.
But I shook my head.
Then I sat on a chair in the corner of the bedroom, away from the bed.
"Have you ever fallen or injured your back?"
“Never been like that.”
"If so…."
Dr. O'Malley examined father very carefully.
"Hmm… ."
My father looked at his toes and focused his nerves, but his right foot did not move in the slightest.
"Snack."
Dad looked confused, frowned, and tried a few times, but to no avail.
Surprisingly, the leg that had been on this morning was fine, suddenly not listening as if it belonged to someone else.
That's the fear of a disease called Tlenbrew.
Appears suddenly without any signs or symptoms.
It's not a genetic disease.
No one knows how this disease develops.
The same thing happened in his previous life.
Even Estira only makes medicine to relieve the symptoms of paralysis.
It's not like he's found the cause of Tlenbrew's disease.
"Is there pain in your legs?"
"sick... No. gabe. I'd rather have it if it hurts. It felt like my legs had suddenly disappeared."
"Hmmm...."
Dr's Face. O'Malley's getting worse.
"That's right. This is an unusual symptom.”
He spends time with words, but Dr. O'Malley probably already knows.
My father's strange and sudden symptoms indicate that there is only one disease, Tlenbrew's disease.
From Dr. O'Malley spoke less and less, and my father seemed to feel something.
He looked at me with dark eyes and said to me, who was sitting quietly in the corner.
"Tia, will you come out for a minute?"
"Yes." Yeah."
I quietly walked out of the room and closed the door.
I didn't even try to hear the conversation back and forth inside.
I already know what to do.
"Miss..."
Louryl and Clerivan, who were waiting outside the door, looked at me and got up from their seats.
"Don't worry too much. Mr. Gallahan will be fine."
Louryl hugged me with warm hands, but it was useless, as if I had frozen.
"Will you bring me a cup of hot milk?"
I asked Louril.
"Yes, Young Miss. Please wait!"
Louryl was happy because I wanted to drink something, and immediately headed to the kitchen.
Now, it's just me and Clerivan left in the living room.
Clerivan wasn't trying to cheer me up.
He seems to know that something is not good looking at my attitude.
"Clerivan's."
"Yes, Miss Florentia."
"I think I should send a letter somewhere far away. Get to know someone who has fast, trustworthy legs."
I held pen and paper on the living room table.
I'm not worried about what I should do.
Knowing that this day is coming, my hand holding the pen cannot stop.
A short letter, written quickly, was given to Clerivan.
"You can send it like this."
"It's……."
Since the paper was not folded, Clerivan could see all the contents of the letter. Clerivan's blue eyes were shaking.
"Where should I send that letter ......"
Screeds.
My father's bedroom door was open and Dr. O'Malley out.
The doctor did not look at me.
No, I was wondering if he would look me in the eye, but he passed by violently.
Okay.
It must be hard to see a new daughter know that her father is dying.
I breathed a little.
"Tia, will you come in here?"
Then I heard my father's voice calling me.
Clerivan secretly followed me on my way to the bedroom.
I was sitting on the bed like before.
“Dr. O'Malley told dad what went wrong, Tia.”
My father said to me with a smile.
“Father leg muscle notepads just surprised for a moment, but he said dad will get well soon.”
Whahuh?
I doubt my ears.
And my heart is pounding. Could the future have changed? Is it really Tlenbrew disease?
And I saw grandpa.
"Well...."
Grandpa didn't look at me.
Like Dr. O'Malley, he avoided my gaze.
"Dad will be healed soon."
Father spoke to me with a living voice.
"Don't worry too much, Tia."
I can't say anything. It seemed like my throat was choked from swallowing a large stone.
Even at this moment when he found out that he had a disease that had no cure. Dad thinks more of me.
His daughter, who was only ten years old, was worried about him.
I fear.
A father with a young face, and a bright smile.
I gritted my teeth and looked at my father and turned around.
And I said to Clerivan.
"That letter is to the Imperial Academy, the recipient is"
Me and my father's only hope.
"Please, the recipient is 'Estira'."
