The Nature of Possession - The Nature of Possession chapter 126
126 – EP.6 Sentence
***
Exhausted from running, Emma staggered forward like a zombie.
She continued to call Inho. The more that happened, the more the gaze of passers-by focused.
Hans grabbed her by the shoulder, but she vigorously shook off his hand and continued on her way.
Time passed like that, and someone appeared and called for Emma, dividing the crowd of twos and threes.
“Miss Emma!”
“……?”
When she turned her head, wanting someone to call her, Emma’s eyes widened.
It was the nurse who had visited the mansion with the doctor the other day.
“Miss Kate?”
A nurse named Kate approached Emma.
“I barely found it. What if I stay here?”
“What is that?”
What are you talking about? Emma’s overheated brain struggled to think.
“Mr. Inho. Aww!! It hurts…!”
When In-ho’s name came out of Kate’s mouth, Emma suddenly changed.
Emma grabbed the nurse by the shoulders and pressed on without breathing.
“Master? Do you know where you are? Are you hurt? Have you collapsed? Are you in the hospital? Tell me quickly. I’m going crazy. Kate. Please please please tell me. Hurry up. Hurry up!!!”
“Hey, let go of this…”
Kate tried to shake off Emma, but her restraints were firm.
“Miss Inho, you are at our hospital right now. He is resting in bed.”
Ending the pain in her shoulder, Kate made a sound of crawling.
Kate’s words filled Emma’s empty eyes little by little, and soon the hand holding her was lowered.
“Whoa… What power… Anyway, I went to the mansion to find Miss Emma. It seems the roads kept diverging.”
“Oh, how old are you?”
“Have you been to the hospital for about an hour and a half now?”
“Hey, are you in a lot of pain?”
“My teacher examined it and said there was no danger to life.”
“Ha… I’m glad.”
Emma sat down on the street.
It seems that the tension is released and the legs are relaxed.
Kate held out her hand to Emma.
“Wake up. We have to go to the hospital. Miss Emma is Teacher Inho’s guardian.”
“Guardian… Guardian…”
Emma murmured and stood up holding Kate’s hand.
“And, I think Miss Emma needs some treatment.”
Looking at the cuts here and there, Kate said.
“Oh, let’s go. Lord, the master is waiting for you.”
said Emma in a hoarse voice.
Emma runs to the hospital with Kate, and Hans, hesitant, follows with his luggage.

“……”
Emma looked down at Inho, who was sleeping soundly.
“I think the problem is that you keep going back and forth between warm and cold places.”
The doctor next to Emma explained the cause.
“Sudden changes in body temperature are not good for the human body. It’s dangerous even for young people, especially for someone like Inho-sensei…”
Again, tears flowed from Emma’s eyes.
Her stomach was muddy.
He hates himself for not being able to take care of his master, getting drunk on the peaceful days that have come after a long time.
and….
“Emma, don’t cry. Huh?”
I don’t know where I saw it, but Hans took out a handkerchief from his bosom and tried to steal Emma’s eyes.
match!
A cheerful sound echoed through the hospital room.
Everyone was startled by the strange sound, and the doctors and nurses looked at Emma in amazement.
“…uh?”
Hans covered his bruised cheek and looked at Emma with wide eyes.
It was because he did not know that Emma would hit him.
Facing such Hans head-on, Emma raised her hand again.
match!
With another cheerful sound, Hans’ head swung back.
“Em… What?”
match!
yet again.
match!
Once again.
As soon as Hans’ head came back, Emma slapped him on the cheek, and before he knew it, blood leaked from Hans’ torn lips.
“Ugh…!”
While Hans, still unable to grasp the situation, could not resist properly, Emma grabbed the face of the returning Hans and turned him forward.
And again.
match!
“I.”
match!
“Sniff.”
match!
“If you’re away.”
match!
“Kill.”
match!
“Throw it away.”
match!
“Did you?”
match!
It was only when blood flowed from his torn lips and nose that the people around him recognized the seriousness of the situation.
“Miss Emma! Calm down! Calm down!!”
The doctor sealed Emma’s arms from behind and dragged her back, while the nurses grabbed Hans, who had fallen to the floor, and led her out of the hospital room.
“Even if you didn’t keep bothering me!!!”
Watching Hans walk away, Emma swung her foot, but it only cut through the air.
“Let go! Let go! I will kill you!!!”
Her voice was terrifying, with a rough rest and a hint of hatred and murder.
She continued to struggle, and the doctor who was holding her body stuck out her tongue with more power than expected.
As Hans slipped out of the hospital room, Emma slumped to the floor.
“Whoa…”
Now that the situation has calmed down, the doctor releases her and she begins to act differently.
match!
she slapped herself on the cheek.
In a century that does not have mercy in its hands, Emma has passed to the side as it is.
“Miss Emma?”
Emma stood up like a tumbler and slapped herself on the cheek again.
With a thump, she fell sideways again.
In just two bites, she had a split lip like Hans.
“Huh…”
She fell to the floor and cried.
She tore her hair with both hands.
“Crazy b*tch. Die! Die! Die!!! You don’t deserve to be a maid!!!! What kind of guardian is a b*tch like you? You should have just died on the street!!! Annie should have lived instead of you!!! Die! ! Just die!!!”
“Won, calm down! Miss Emma. If you make a fuss here, Inho-sensei can’t rest!!”
The doctor rushed in and took her hand again.
When he mentioned the owner, Emma’s struggling spirit slowly faded.
Knowing that his words had worked, the doctor continued talking.
“The more you do this, the worse Inho’s condition gets. Didn’t you talk to me? I will take good care of Inho.”
“Sir… I love the master…”
“Wasn’t it a mistake? He fell asleep for a while because he lost his energy. Don’t blame yourself too much. There’s no danger to your life right now.”
“Uhhhhh…”
Like a wounded beast, she growled low.
‘Miss Inho… You have a pretty unique child.’
The doctor clicked his tongue when he saw Emma for the first time.
***
When In-ho opened his eyes, Emma, who had regained stability, was sniffing beside him.
“Hmm…Emma?”
“Lord, master?”
Emma felt so sorry for the owner who called me by name.
Bony limbs, body still shivering in the cold. Tears welled up just by looking at it.
“A hospital… is it? It’s an unfamiliar ceiling.”
“Yes. This is the hospital. A passer-by brought the teacher who was lying on the street.”
As Inho spoke while looking up at the ceiling, the doctor standing behind Emma answered.
“Why did I fall down?”
“I think it was because his body temperature dropped too rapidly.
“okay.”
“…….”
“…….”
“Emma.”
Breaking the silence, Inho called for Emma.
“Yes! Master, tell me. I, the master’s faithful maid, will do anything.”
“Then, would you like to come back for some treatment? It looks like your body is very damaged.”
In-ho said as he looked over her wounded body.
“However….”
Emma hesitated, not wanting to get away from him.
“hurry.”
In-ho said with a little resoluteness, and Emma followed the nurse to the treatment room like a daunted gangster.
“You seem to have quite an eccentric maid.”
said the doctor, looking at the door through which Emma had exited.
“He’s a good kid.”
Inho speaks calmly,
“hahahahaha. That’s right.”
The doctor agreed.
“By the way, sir, I have something to ask you.”
Inho raised his gaze slightly and met the doctor’s eyes.
Although he was a frail old man, there was a sharpness that could not be hidden from his eyes.
“Yes, you say.”
“How much do you have left?”
“Yes?”
“It’s my lifetime.”
Inho caught his breath for a moment. He took a deep breath and spoke calmly.
“How much time do I have left?”
“……”
“……”
“…You knew.”
“It’s just that I feel like I’m getting weaker.”
It’s not a lie, In-ho tried to build up his stamina by doing activities after being possessed, but he was clearly feeling that his energy was getting weaker and weaker.
I thought I had recovered all my vitality while possessing it, but it was only a temporary physical boost, and my body continued to be at my limit.
and today. Seeing him collapsed on the street, In-ho had a hunch that he had little time left.
“…how to say it.”
“Please feel free to tell me. I’m not a dementia patient anyway. hahahaha.”
“Mr. Inho is the only dementia patient who says that.”
The doctor laughed as if it was absurd.
“I’m not sure, but… six months at the most. About three months at the shortest.”
Hearing the doctor’s sentence, Inho thought.
‘I must prepare. Another death.’
