Chapter 70.2
Absolute Advantage
Every time the low heels hit the ground, the forgotten voice came back to life.
âI wish I had a child.â
âWhatâs wrong with you? Thereâs Sera.â The owner of the voice was her sister and herself.
âSera is my niece, Woohee.â
âSo what? Iâm your sister. So my daughter is like your sisterâs child.â
âYou donât want me to get married?â
âYes, I donât want to. Your bloodâ¦â¦ I donât like being mixed up with dirty omegas.â
âDirty omega. So what about us women who canât have children?â
âDonât put us on the same line with them!â
âWoohee, you need to make a family, too. And Sera, are you going to keep raising her without her dad?â
âHow many times do I have to tell you? I donât want to live with a shallow omega. My only family is my mother, sister, and Sera.â
The conversation was heated and there was not a single word left. There was nothing but a cry.
ââ¦I can raise your children just like my children. But I wonât admit it. Because itâs not from the Seo family. Because itâs a stranger!â
But she meant it. At least for that moment.
Before she knew it, Chairman Seo came to Haewonâs room. When she opened the door, the lights in the hallway reached Haewon before Chairman Seo.
Haewon lay in bed like a corpse.
Chairman Seo leaned half the door and approached her. The body that went up and down with the sound of her breath made her realize that she was alive.
Chairman Seo slipped Hae-wonâs hair to the side. How can there be no resemblance to her sister even when she gets older?
âI thought you were going to die soon. Youâre still breathing.â
Chairman Seo murmured softly.
What does this persistent line of life resemble?
ââ¦â¦Father.â
The chairmanâs forehead was wrinkled at the sound of Hae-wonâs voice in his sleep.
âWho else is she like.â
Yes, itâs Jung Eun-chanâs, the son of a lowly human being.

The next day, the nausea and headache did not improve. Eventually, Haewon visited the hospital.
The doctor heard Hae-wonâs symptoms and checked her condition on the monitor.
âYouâd better do a pheromone test.â
âWhatâ¦?â Hae-won asked back in surprise.
âDo we really need an examination?â
âWell, it doesnât seem like the normal flu. I think itâs a pheromone problem. Itâs supposed to be a trait-related disease. Did you have a quarrel with your lover recently?â
âWhy is thatâ¦.â
âSome delicate alphas have an adverse reaction in their body when there is a problem with their relationship. Itâs just like your symptoms.â
âIs it the opposite case?â
âWhat?â
âI was wondering if Omega also had these symptoms,â Hae-won said, avoiding the doctorâs gaze.
âWell, Omega is worse than Alpha. Itâs highly dependent on alpha pheromones by nature.â He added.
âHaving problems with pheromones doesnât necessarily mean having sex. It could be that there was a big fight between the two lovers, or it could be external factors.â
External factors.
Is it because of Chairman Seoâs statement that she would use Seraâs genes? But it was strange. Adam was an omega.
âIt might be a weird question. Can you have these symptoms even if youâre the same type?â
âTwo alphas?â
âYes, or even between omega.â
âHa ha. Of course, itâs impossible.â The doctor laughed off all sorts of silly questions.
âOh, I guess so. But, I didnât imprintâ¦â¦.â Haewon lost her words.
The doctorâs eyes changed a little at Hae-wonâs words.
âYou know that Alpha and Omega usually get used to and rely on each otherâs pheromones, right? If you imprint it, the process is faster.â
âYes.â
âItâs a very rare case, but sometimes itâs imprinted without their knowledge.â
ââ¦â¦how could that happen?â
âThere is such a thing as compatibility with pheromones. If the affinity is very high, the imprint can be achieved only with a single encounter.â
Haewonâs face turned pale.
It was because there was a presence that crossed her mind for a moment.
âHave you ever heard of fated mates? Itâs a regular subject that comes out a lot in dramas.â
ââ¦â¦.â
âOh, of course, you can only tell if itâs really this case through a test, and you donât have to worry about it because itâs very unlikely. I think itâs because of the stressâ¦â¦.â
The doctorâs voice was no longer heard.
âWhy? Hang in there. Your body is really cold.â
Itâs that alpha.
A man who appeared to help her disappeared when her heat cycle exploded and I couldnât control myself.
âHey, patient?â
The doctor shook her knee slightly when Hae-won was unresponsive looking at the floor throughout. Only then did Hae-won suddenly raise her head.
ââ¦â¦ could you just prescribe some medicine for me?â
âOkay, Iâll prescribe you an alpha-only painkiller, so if you donât feel better after taking the medicine, please come back for a checkup.â
âYes, thank you.â
Hae-won bowed her head and left the clinic as if she were running away.
