The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

 

Chapter 100

 

“…Dad.”

 

“That’s right, I’m your dad.”

 

Not an illusion, but real.

 

I pressed down hard on my trembling hands to hold them still.

 

What if after all this, he didn’t remember perfectly?

 

If only I got emotional, then only I would get hurt again.

 

I bit my lips tightly before asking. I glared to hide my expression.

 

“Mother’s name… do you remember it now?”

 

“How could I not know it.”

 

Dad murmured while holding me. His voice was damp.

 

“Baek Arin.”

 

It was a voice filled with deep sorrow and abundant love.

 

“A name I’ll love for my entire life and until I die. Along with you.”

 

At that moment, tears streamed down like rain.

 

This should be something to be happy about, but I couldn’t understand why tears were pouring out as if I were sad.

 

‘Call me Father on the day you remember me.’

 

He had definitely said this, but the moment I heard it, I thought it would never happen.

 

I knew Dad’s condition best. At the same time, I thought that in this world too, I would never have parents.

 

I tried to accept it calmly.

 

‘I won’t accept it until my dad remembers everything.’

 

I had tried to draw the line myself and be okay with it.

 

Because such a thing wouldn’t happen.

 

It wouldn’t happen…

 

The crying that started as sniffling gradually transformed into unbearable sorrow.

 

Eventually, I admitted that I was joyful and happy.

 

At this moment, I had obtained what I had wanted most in my entire life.

 

In this situation, I didn’t want to cry anymore. I wanted to see ‘Dad’ with clear vision, not blurred sight.

 

Dad who remembered both me and Mother.

 

I wiped away my tears bravely with my small hands.

 

And I smiled as brightly and prettily as I could. Even though it must have been a mess because of the tears.

 

Because this was the first time I was properly calling this name.

 

“Dad.”

 

“….”

 

“Dad….”

 

“….”

 

“Sniff, Dad…. I have Dad too.”

 

Large hands pulled me into a tight embrace.

 

It was a very big and warm embrace, as if he would never let go again.

 

“…Yes, I’m your dad.”

 

* * *

 

I knew this would happen.

 

“…Stop crying.”

 

I had cried so much that my eyes ended up completely swollen.

 

Even when I cried bitterly in the Physician’s Treatment Room last time, it wasn’t this bad.

 

Can you cry even more from happy things?

 

‘But… a miracle happened.’

 

Having diagnosed Dad myself, I had confirmed that it was impossible for Dad to recall all his memories on his own.

 

‘Should I diagnose him?’

 

I shook my head inwardly. No, no. Not now, maybe later….

 

Right now I wanted to savor this miracle and happiness a little longer.

 

Because my chest felt ticklish as if a hundred butterflies had landed on it.

 

“Dad, do you really remember everything?”

 

I sniffled and looked up. I could see Dad’s smiling face.

 

“Yes.”

 

Ah, so this really isn’t a dream. My fingertips tingled at his gentle gaze.

 

“I’m still a bit confused… but I figure it’s because the memories came back suddenly.”

 

“Since when?”

 

“Well.”

 

Did Sylvester’s provocation actually help? If that’s true, I’ll have to thank that man later.

 

I rubbed my eyes firmly with my sleeve.

 

Until Dad stopped me from rubbing them anymore.

 

I had so many conversations with Dad.

 

“Really? How amazing was it?”

 

“That Birang was a crybaby? Everyone in the Family Estate must have known.”

 

All of Dad’s stories were interesting and more enjoyable than any other story in the world.

 

“Brother said where could you find such a woman, that he wouldn’t even glance at her for his whole life, but he ended up marrying that woman. That’s your sister-in-law.”

 

“Oh my! That’s interesting!”

 

It was amazing where all these stories came from, and whether Dad was someone who could talk this much.

 

But more than that, I loved this moment.

 

“Your mother, Arin wanted to use ‘Butterfly’ as her professional name as a physician.”

 

“Was Mother really an amazing physician?”

 

“The best among those I’ve seen.”

 

“Even, even better than me?”

 

“….”

 

Dad would sometimes look troubled but then smile.

 

“She loved butterflies, so when she was pregnant with you, she called you ‘baby butterfly.'”

 

I was able to learn my prenatal name too.

 

Deliberately… I didn’t ask about Mother’s death or her remains.

 

It was something I could learn gradually, and I was too afraid that Dad might change for no reason.

 

Our conversation continued until evening. We ate dinner and kept talking straight through the night.

 

In the evening, an attendant from the Main Hall came by.

 

‘Physician Hei Biyu, the Family Head commands you to come tomorrow.’

 

His attitude was so respectful, it was almost amusing.

 

But today Dad remembered me, and tomorrow I would receive compensation from the Family Head. I decided to think positively.

 

Truly, my heart was so fluffy with happiness that it was full of nothing but joyful things.

 

Finally, when it became much deeper into the night, we lay down together under the blanket. Today we decided to sleep together for the first time!

 

“Dad’s blanket seems much fluffier.”

 

“I’ll change it for you right away tomorrow. No, let’s buy a new one.”

 

“Huh?”

 

“The house is too old too. Let’s call people right away. If we pay them, they’ll come in droves.”

 

“Eh?”

 

I was busy trying to stop Dad who was rushing ahead. What about all the luggage and medicinal materials right now, and remodeling? This person.

 

Dad looked at me and turned on his side, then somewhat awkwardly patted my stomach.

 

“When you were a newborn baby, I was scared because I didn’t know how much strength to use.”

 

“…I saw it in Dad’s memory. Your hands were shaking like this, trembling.”

 

“What a pathetic sight.”

 

Ah, so you admit it was pathetic even now? I let out a small laugh.

 

A moment of silence passed.

 

Because it was dark, I carefully gathered courage and asked.

 

“You remember that Mother died too, right?”

 

Perhaps because when I grabbed Sylvester’s throat, his desperate refusal to accept Mother’s death remained so vividly in my memory.

 

Even though I told myself not to ask, it came out anyway.

 

“…I remember.”

 

“….”

 

“And that distorting her death is something she wouldn’t want.”

 

Dad’s patting became slower. I thought that perhaps Dad might be crying.

 

I decided to pretend not to notice the water that fell on my cheek.

 

“…I have to look forward. I have a daughter. That’s what she would want.”

 

“….”

 

“She’s someone who wished for you and me to be happy until the very moment she died.”

 

You know, how did Mother end up dying?

 

Asking this seemed too cruel. I decided to put it off for a little while.

 

I should have just asked.

 

“…You’ll get Mother’s Remains back, right?”

 

“…I have to get them back. I’ll tell you about that soon too. A little later… yes, maybe tomorrow….”

 

“No. You can tell me when you want to.”

 

I should have just asked this too.

 

Without knowing I’d regret it later.

 

Dad hugged me tightly.

 

“I feel like I’ve never said it before. I really wanted to tell you.”

 

“….”

 

“‘Our Daughter, I love you.'”

 

A moment of silence passed. Laughter could be heard in the darkness.

 

“That’s what your Mother always used to say. I feel the same way.”

 

Today might be my birthday. It’s the day when everything I ever wished for came true.

 

“Mm….”

 

I was a little embarrassed so I couldn’t return the greeting. But I think I’ll feel the same way.

 

‘I don’t want to go Home anymore.’

 

This is the best expression for me, though Dad probably doesn’t know that, right?

 

I’ll let him know tomorrow.

 

And when I wake up tomorrow, I need to go find Uncle and Uncle with Dad right away.

 

I have to brag that Dad remembered everything!

 

I’ll heal Uncle and Uncle with this skill too, so I should tell them to praise me.

 

‘And should I call Uncle “Uncle” once, which he wants to hear?’

 

Just thinking about it made me laugh.

 

I should go to the Main Hall with Dad. And brag to everyone.

 

Ah, would Dad be embarrassed?

 

It’s fine if only I know.

 

Because now he’s really ‘Dad.’

 

I should ask where Mother is buried too. And ask if the Medicine Room in this house was the Room Mother used.

 

‘I’m glad Dad… didn’t only love Mother.’

 

He loved me too.

 

It felt like cotton Candy was blooming in my chest. Fluffy and soft. I think I could die without regrets now.

 

No, why would I die. I need to heal Uncle and Uncle too and live happily!

 

I happily smiled and greeted Dad.

 

“Good night, Dad. See you tomorrow.”

 

“Yes.”

 

…I shouldn’t have greeted him.

 

Then maybe this day wouldn’t have ended.

 

Right, Biyu?

 

Why is regret always too late, no matter how fast it comes?

 

* * *

 

The next morning.

 

I woke up early.

 

‘Wow, I feel completely refreshed!’

 

Outside, birds were chirping. Maybe it was because I cried so much yesterday that I felt relieved, then slept.

 

My eyes stung a little, but my mood was fantastic.

 

‘Yesterday I wanted to act spoiled with Dad, so I didn’t even do swelling treatment…’

 

It was a childish thought. But so what? I’m actually a child right now, aren’t I?

 

I covered my mouth with my hand and giggled. The spot next to me was already empty.

 

‘Did he go to prepare breakfast?’

 

Since I knew Dad sometimes woke up early, I wasn’t worried.

 

But when I came out, Dad wasn’t in the kitchen either.

 

I checked that Raon and Bam-bam were sleeping soundly, then left the house.

 

‘I think I know where he is.’

 

Step by step.

 

My walking steps were light.

 

‘Today, let me diagnose Dad.’

 

I confirmed it yesterday. It would be okay to diagnose him. Nothing would change.

 

I firmly suppressed a very small stirring feeling.

 

To make excuses belatedly, at this time I probably wanted to prioritize happiness as Hei Biyu over my instincts as a physician.

 

In truth, my past life had been too long and painful. So just once, I wanted to turn away from everything and just be happy.

 

Not knowing how harsh the price of turning away from reality would be.

 

I arrived at the garden with the tree where Dad and I had gone together yesterday.

 

Rustle, rustle.

 

Under the cool morning breeze, I could see a large back.

 

Perhaps sensing my presence, Dad slowly turned his head.

 

I smiled happily and ran toward him.

 

No, I tried to run toward him.

 

“Ah…”

 

If Dad hadn’t said this.

 

“Who are you?”
