A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 211

 

With the chilly air between them.

 

Tie faced a face that was so familiar and comfortable.

 

White hair.

 

Wrinkled face and drooping eyelids.

 

But the face Tie loved most in the world.

 

“Grandmother!”

 

Chaeboksu hesitated.

 

However, Tie wiggled around, put on her shoes, and ran to Chaeboksu as if nothing had happened.

 

The gazes of Chaeboksu standing three steps below and Tie met at just the right height.

 

“Tie.”

 

Tie folded her fingers and calculated the days.

 

“The day after tomorrow, or maybe the day after the day after tomorrow, I think I’ll go home with Father.”

 

Chaeboksu’s eyes widened.

 

Jeongmyeongja also covered her mouth with one hand and stared at Tie.

 

Tie smiled brightly.

 

“So, Tie wants to eat meat! With Grandmother, meat!”

 

Chaeboksu took a short breath.

 

When she pressed her lips tightly together, wrinkles formed on her chin, and her eyelids trembled.

 

After a long while, a small voice flowed from her mouth.

 

“Oh my… goodness… oh my.”

 

Chaeboksu quickly turned her head and hurriedly wiped her eyes with one hand.

 

When she looked at Tie again, her eyes were red and bloodshot.

 

“Yes. Let’s eat, meat.”

 

Chaeboksu put her hand in her pocket and called Jeongmyeongja.

 

“Myeongja, go to the store in front and buy some pork belly.”

 

Jeongmyeongja approached hesitantly.

 

Chaeboksu took out four crumpled fifty-thousand-won bills from her pocket and pressed them into Jeongmyeongja’s hand.

 

“Buy a lot. And drinks and snacks that the child likes!”

 

“Wow!”

 

Tie jumped up from her spot.

 

“Also buy that Tanifang notebook or whatever it was that the child was singing about. They say Dayso has everything.”

 

Jeongmyeongja nodded.

 

She quickly sniffled and smiled at Tie.

 

“Tie. Say thank you to Grandmother.”

 

“Thank you, Grandmother!”

 

Jeongmyeongja smiled.

 

“Then I’ll go and come back quickly?”

 

“Yes, yes.”

 

When Jeongmyeongja went down the stairs, only three remained at the 2nd floor entrance.

 

Chaeboksu awkwardly opened her mouth.

 

“Let’s go down.”

 

At that moment, Tie firmly grabbed her hand as she turned around.

 

“Grandmother! Come with Tie!”

 

Chaeboksu looked at the child who was warmly holding her rough hand, then turned her head away.

 

“Why hold hands just to go downstairs…”

 

But contrary to her words, she too was tightly gripping the child’s hand as if it might break.

 

“Her memory really has returned, she smiles well when looking at Tie. Tie, say ah.”

 

Jeongmyeongja put a wrap into the child’s mouth.

 

Tie opened her mouth wide and ate the wrap properly.

 

“Is it delicious? Not too hot?”

 

Tie shook her head back and forth.

 

Jeongmyeongja, who was watching that scene contentedly, immediately wrapped the next wrap.

 

And offered it to Tesetan who was flipping the meat.

 

“Thank you.”

 

Unlike yesterday, Tesetan treated her without any awkwardness.

 

Jeongmyeongja’s eyes became teary again as she watched the father and daughter.

 

“Oh my, being foolish again.”

 

“If you know you’re being foolish, then stop it. Please.”

 

Chaeboksu scolded.

 

Jeongmyeongja smiled and wiped her eyes.

 

Then she tore the kimchi that had been soaked in water beforehand into small pieces by hand.

 

“Child, eat rice too, rice too.”

 

When she put the washed kimchi on top of the rice, Tie put the spoon wide into her mouth.

 

A pleased expression appeared on the faces of the three adults watching the small cheeks chewing.

 

“Is it delicious? Tie’s Father has always been good at grilling meat. Aunt sometimes burns it.”

 

Tie raised one hand while chewing her food.

 

“Aunt, do you know why that is?”

 

Jeongmyeongja tilted her head.

 

“Why is that?”

 

“Father, in Talochium. He grills whole pigs on fires this big!”

 

Tesetan let out a hollow laugh.

 

“When did you see that?”

 

When besieging Mastone, they often camped outside.

 

Meals were mainly solved with supplies they brought, but occasionally when they hunted wild animals in the mountains, things were different.

 

“Pigs like this! Like this!”

 

Tie waved her arm holding the fork around.

 

She was trying to imitate Father catching and preparing wild boars, but it was nowhere close.

 

“Then, they grill it on fire like this and eat it.”

 

The child who had swallowed the food she was chewing continued speaking.

 

“Grilling pork belly in a frying pan must be super easy!”

 

Jeongmyeongja burst into laughter.

 

“Is that so? Our Tie must have been happy, with Father grilling whole pork belly for you?”

 

“Yes! Actually! Tie ate deer meat too!”

 

“Wow, deer meat too?!”

 

“Yes! And when we go to the stronghold, Aunt Marshal makes delicious food! Veil and Uncle Basto drink alcohol, and Tie drinks strawberry juice! With wild strawberries mixed in and ground like this!”

 

Jeongmyeongja stopped wrapping and stared at Tie.

 

Her gaze became tender with a smile on her lips.

 

“Child, do the uncles and men there treat you well? And the older brothers?”

 

Tie looked up while putting the rice spoon in her mouth.

 

The child answered with a happy expression.

 

“Yes! They treat me the most preciously in the world.”

 

“…Preciously?”

 

“They sing lullabies when Tie can’t sleep. They give piggyback rides when my legs hurt. They cry a lot when Tie gets hurt.”

 

“Our Tie must be a princess there.”

 

“Yes! Tie isn’t a princess but they treat me like a princess.”

 

Tesetan hesitated.

 

But he soon began moving the tongs again.

 

Jeongmyeongja muttered.

 

“Thank goodness, thank goodness….”

 

“Yees.”

 

“When we first heard about it, Aunt and Grandmother didn’t even know such a place existed, so we worried a lot.”

 

“No no, don’t worry!”

 

“That’s right, isn’t it? If we don’t worry, our Tie can go back with peace of mind, right?”

 

Jeongmyeongja gently wiped away the moisture around the child’s mouth with her hand.

 

That’s when it happened.

 

“Please eat this.”

 

Tesetan placed a perfectly cooked piece of pork belly on Chaeboksu’s front plate, which had remained empty the entire time.

 

Chaeboksu, who had been staring down at the newspaper spread on the floor lost in thought, startled and raised her head.

 

She glanced at Tie and slightly frowned at Tesetan.

 

“…What meat. I can’t eat it.”

 

It was strange.

 

It had only been yesterday that she had revealed she was sick.

 

Yet this person with good memory and quick wit was offering her meat when he clearly knew her situation.

 

But Tesetan, with an unconcerned expression, even placed a piece of shepherd’s purse that Jeongmyeongja had bought on her front plate.

 

“Just try eating it.”

 

A hollow laugh escaped from Chaeboksu’s mouth.

 

“You….”

 

It had been a long time since she could eat greasy, heavy foods like pork belly.

 

Most of all, with her severe hemoptysis now, she absolutely couldn’t eat such food.

 

‘When I can barely swallow rice porridge.’

 

The doctor had repeatedly warned her.

 

Her stomach function itself was severely damaged, so she should avoid foods that would burden her stomach.

 

Also, the continuous hemoptysis that had been going on recently was a problem.

 

With bleeding already present, if food irritated her stomach, the bleeding could worsen.

 

“Chiara! I’m watching, so why….”

 

Chaeboksu, who was about to ask why he kept insisting, paused.

 

Come to think of it, there was something that suddenly occurred to her.

 

‘Wait. Yesterday I slept.’

 

She had been so focused on thinking about scolding Tie that she had forgotten.

 

The fact that she had slept unusually deeply last night and woken up refreshed.

 

From beside her, she could hear Tie chattering with Jeongmyeongja.

 

“So, Tie has two powers! One is the power to call bone friends, and one seems to be the power to heal people!”

 

“Really? Heal people?”

 

“Yes! Aunt Livia was sick, but Tie healed her, when I prayed she got all better! Does the power to summon bone friends also make sick things better?”

 

Confusion crossed Chaeboksu’s expression.

 

She looked at Tesetan in front of her again.

 

Tesetan was also gazing at her for some reason.

 

“Please try eating it.”

 

He urged again.

 

Definitely.

 

Something was definitely strange.

 

‘The pain was severe.’

 

Just smelling food would make her stomach churn.

 

While undergoing chemotherapy, the fatigue was so severe she could barely manage daily life.

 

She looked down at her solar plexus area.

 

“How….”

 

The pain had disappeared.

 

The smell of grilling meat filling the room made her mouth water.

 

With each breath, air filled deep into every corner of her lungs,

 

and there was no nausea.

 

The smell of medicine and blood that she felt with every inhale and exhale had all disappeared.

 

“….”

 

Chaeboksu slowly turned her head.

 

She could see Tie’s profile as she ate her wrap making munching sounds.

 

She wasn’t certain, but at the same time she was certain.

 

What could be more honest to accept than the signals her body was sending?

 

‘If I’m right, if all my thoughts are correct.’

 

Everything started last night.

 

From the moment Tie ran over and hugged her while she was having a fight with Jeongmyeongja’s husband.

 

“Ha, this….”

 

Distorting her face endlessly, Chaeboksu bit her lips.
