151 The Result of His Experiment to the Girl (2/2)
Anna said her thoughts. Considering what happened to the girl, it would not be surprising if this girl received a heavy mental trauma causing her to behave this way.
Mark however, seemed to have an idea why.
”Melissa, ask her name.”
Everyone was confused to Mark's instruction. Why did he have to ask Melissa to do it and not ask himself? Not only that but what does the little girl's name had to do with the situation? Nevertheless, Melissa could only comply. It was the Boss' order after all.
”Little girl, what is your name?”
Melissa asked the girl gently.
”I don't… know?”
The girl replied while tilting her head cutely as she tried to remember her name. Unfortunately nothing came up.
Everyone watching the girl was flabbergasted. Considering the age of the girl, she should already be a grade two student. For her to not know her name…
”How about your mama? Papa? Brother or sisters?”
Melissa suddenly asked as the girl's condition suddenly dawned on her.
”Mama? I don't know?”
The girl replied with another question which confirmed her condition.
It was likely that the girl had amnesia and did not remember anything of her past anymore. For her to have this condition was also acceptable. The girl was pushed to the door of death by the evil deeds of Dominador and his men. The cause of this could either be mental trauma or even physical trauma.
However, her next actions and sentence flabbergasted everyone that even Mark's classmates had their mouths open in shock.
After saying that she did not know her mother, the little girl looked at Mark.
”Papa?”
Mark could not speak as his back started to sweat. He did not expect that it would turn out like this. Back in the vehicle, he questioned himself if this girl was his kin now that he used his blood to blend in her body and turn her into an Evolver. Since the girl received his regenerative ability, he was sure that his blood and genes fused with the girl's body perfectly.
Considering that the girl lost her memories becoming a blank slate, she was only answering using what she knew and feel. Since she looked at Mark and uttered those words, there was no doubt that the little girl felt that Mark was her Papa. She must have felt a sense of connection with him due to his blood.
”Gege, what is going on?”
Of course, Mei was the one to react first on this. For Mei, Abbygale was one thing since she saw it when Mark brought the strange little girl back from the first floor of the mall. This little girl however, suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Even though Mark said the story before, for the amnesiac little girl to call him Papa was too strange.
Mark was contemplating while everyone was looking at him with strange expressions. Not only the people in his group but also his classmates and friends.
”Hey Mark! You're always silent but we never knew that you were spreading your seeds already!”
Joseph shouted through the window making Mark frustrated. The idiot outside was making everything worse.
He did not want to tell the others about the experiment he did to the girl but he did not want these people to think things that never happened! Even though he did not talk too much and did not care for his brutal reputation, he did not want this unnecessary kind of lascivious reputation at all!
”Hey Mark! Did you hear me?!”
Joseph continued to shout making Mark turn to him.
”If you don't stop being noisy out there, I'll throw you not just out of the classroom but out of the settlement! I'll make sure that your wife and children will come with you out there!”
Mark spoke making Joseph shiver. It was very rare for Mark to get angry like this so Joseph clasped his mouth and hid below the window.
”Papa, papa. Big sister?”
Abbygale went towards her Papa and asked while pulling the hem of his new jacket and pointing at the girl that had just woke up.
However, the little cat girl's question only made the stare of the people around intensify.
Mark then decided. With a deep breath, he spoke.
”You all can say that she's my daughter I think? I can't say whether its biologically or not though.”
Mark decided to accept the girl as his daughter due to his experiment. It was not entirely wrong though. When a scientist created something whether it is a living creature or just bacteria, or even just a device, the scientist would treat it as his own.
”Boss, what do you mean?”
Melissa asked.
Mark's revelation confused everyone. His daughter but not biologically? Was the girl his adoptive daughter?
”She did not become an Evolver naturally. I turned her into one and I used my genes from my blood as catalyst to turn her into an Evolver. If I'm correct, a part of my genes fused in her body now.”
What he said made everyone more confused. Mark's classmates already heard about Evolvers from the military but… He actually turned this little girl into one?
Without saying anymore, Mark took out a hand sized kitchen knife he always had in his pocket. He approached the girl and pulled out her right arm. Everyone one watched but no one tried to stop him. As Mark called this girl his daughter, with how protective he was to Mei and Abbygale, they were sure that he would not do harm to the little girl.
The little girl on the other hand did not mind the knife nearing her skin. Rather, she felt at ease when Mark grabbed her arm.
SLIT!
Blood started to drip as Mark slit a two inches wound to the little girl's arm.
Everyone looked at the blood in horror. They did not know why Mark would do that! They looked at the girl. Strange enough, she did not cry in pain. The girl was only staring at the blood on her arm.
Shortly after the knife left the girl's skin, the gaping wound started to close with absurd speed. A few seconds later, the wound was gone and what was left was the remaining blood on her skin.
Mark then pulled the sleeve of his jacket up and slit the same size of wound on his skin. His blood also started to drip but his wounds also closed soon after.
To everyone's shock, the rate that the wounds of the two healed were exactly the same.
”You can turn people into Evolvers now?”
Melissa could not help but ask.
”What? You also want to be my daughter?”
Melissa choked. She did not mean it like that at all!
Ignoring the nurse's speechless expression, Mark spoke.
”I experimented on her alright. I tried to turn her into an Evolver but her own genes could not help speed up her evolution so I used my blood as catalyst.”
”Experiment? That's inhumane.”
Melissa could not help but berate him with a sharp look. After all, she was a medical practitioner and unethical and unlicensed human experimentation were highly loathed by them. Mark did not mind though and looked at her.
”I did not tell all of you but that girl was dying when I took her from Captain Dela Rosa. Whether I failed in my experiment or not do it at all, she will die. I succeeded and you see her there, alive.”
Melissa stopped staring at him. He was right. What he did maybe inhumane but he did save a life.
”Can you turn anyone into an Evolver now?”
Carlo could not help but ask. He was an evolver himself but his ability was not of combat type and he could not do anything about that. Still, it would be good if his girlfriend could turn into one.
The question Carlo asked stirred everyone inside the classroom as they stared at Mark waiting for an answer.
