The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius
Chapter 103
The day was cool. The wind was blowing, and it seemed too hot to bring the child inside, so he held her until night fell.
Truly, Biyu cried without rest. As if her world had come to an end.
Hei Birang couldn’t dare to understand Biyu. Who could fathom this child’s heart at this moment?
He could only try to relate because he had a daughter. If Ayan were in the same situation and crying so sorrowfully?
His heart would be torn into a thousand, ten thousand pieces. And the feeling he’d had all along while watching his young niece wasn’t much different.
He thought of this lovely niece like his own daughter.
‘She just barely stopped crying…’
So the unwelcome guest who suddenly arrived this night was not welcome.
A silhouette standing in the yard.
Black hair dyed by moonlight caught his eye. Hair fluttered in the coolly blowing wind.
The man with bright red eyes was definitely Second Brother, Hei Bihu, even upon second look.
“I’m asking why you came.”
“…”
The man had no answer.
Hei Birang pulled up the corners of his mouth.
“Ah, so my damn brother doesn’t even remember who I am when I speak to him like this.”
Had all his memories disappeared once again?
“How did you know to come here?”
“…I tracked the child’s presence by wind.”
A low voice.
From that voice alone, Hei Birang could tell that nowhere was there any trace of the brother who had ridden in the carriage with him until yesterday.
Though all of this was said to be because of illness, if the person hurt by that illness was Biyu, then it was a different story.
Hei Birang had a duty to protect the child. He pulled the child close and growled like a beast protecting its young.
“Are you just going to stand there without any business?”
Hei Bihu stared at him. Second Brother had a confused expression, as if he himself hadn’t noticed.
Until just moments ago, his brother’s gaze had been directed toward the child.
Hei Birang looked at his pathetic brother and pulled up the corners of his mouth viciously once more.
“Unfortunately, there’s no longer a place for you here, brother.”
If you can’t remember, that is. Perhaps cutting ties would be one way to handle this. What filled his blue eyes was fierce anger.
“Get lost.”
* * *
Three days had passed.
I stretched long and wide.
‘Ugh, I feel so stiff…’
I rubbed my eyes vigorously.
My eyes felt dry because I hadn’t slept properly. It couldn’t be helped.
What kind of sleep could I get for 3 days anyway.
Ah, tears came out. I was wiping away the tears from yawning when someone came rushing toward me in a panic.
“What’s wrong, why are you crying? Why are you crying? What happened? Is it because of First Uncle?!”
“Biyu? Are you okay? Does it hurt somewhere?”
It was Brother Gyewon and Raon. Both of them looked equally pale as if they were real brothers.
Moreover, as if they had come while washing their faces side by side, more than half of their faces were covered with water.
“You can’t be sick…”
Raon said with an expression like he was about to cry. Brother Gyewon quickly agreed as he placed his hand on my forehead.
“Right, like Raon said, you might be sick. You don’t seem to have a fever though.”
Brother Gyewon especially looked like seaweed with his hair damp from water. It was even more so because he happened to resemble Uncle with his slightly curly hair.
“No? I was just yawning…”
“What? Ah, yawning…”
At my dumbfounded Cousin Brother’s appearance, I couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing with a “pffft.”
I was covering my mouth and giggling when my body was suddenly lifted up into the air.
The owner of those strong arms was Uncle.
“What’s so funny? Let Uncle know too~”
I looked at his straight jaw and handsome face and fell into thought for a moment.
On the day I ran to Hei Birang, I learned Dad’s exact illness through Uncle.
I also heard what Mother had left with Uncle.
‘…Rather than keeping secrets, I think telling you is the right thing to do.’
Uncle had said with a face full of guilt.
‘And also, there are traces that someone artificially worsened your dad’s illness. During the time your mother mentioned, both of them were at the Hei Family Estate… So it’s likely someone from there.’
But now, it was probably a story that didn’t matter anymore.
When the next morning came, Uncle and Brother Gyewon appeared.
In Brother Gyewon’s embrace as he hugged me, I cried sorrowfully once more.
The two of them must have heard the situation from Uncle instead of me, who had no time to explain.
Because when I woke up after crying for a long time and falling asleep from exhaustion, the way they looked at me had changed.
But neither sympathy nor pity gave me much impression. I seemed a little tired.
‘Even during all that suffering in the third life, I was never tired…’
Well, since I had already run through three lives, it wouldn’t be strange if a moment of exhaustion came.
Even while crying, I slowly organized my position, feelings, and thoughts.
That was like a long-standing habit.
For someone who has to survive alone, worries, concerns, and even thoughts can sometimes be luxuries.
The habits from when I had to survive breathlessly remained imprinted throughout my entire body.
So now, three days later, I was somewhat organized.
Brother Gyewon seemed worried about my swollen eyes.
But Uncle…
‘I can’t really tell with this person.’
He must have heard the entire situation.
He only made a strange expression for a single moment. After that, Uncle was surprisingly exactly the same as usual.
As if nothing had happened at all.
I had been staying at Uncle’s House again since yesterday. Because my other uncle had fallen asleep again.
‘Your dad came here every night. For two days.’
My uncle had said this before falling asleep. At first I was shaken when I heard those words.
‘What good does any of that do.’
I raised my head.
Uncle was looking down at me with a smile.
“Our Ppiyak, shall we take a little walk with Uncle?”
The place Uncle brought me for a walk was a nearby garden. I could see an old pavilion.
‘That place…’
It was where I first met Uncle in this life. It was also not far from the warehouse where Uncle used to lock himself during his madness period.
Back then, Brother Gyewon, my uncle, and I had joined forces to subdue Uncle.
It wasn’t that long ago, but it felt incredibly distant.
Uncle sat on the pavilion railing while holding me.
A gentle breeze blew.
It was wind that naturally cooled the heat, but I wrinkled my nose.
I felt like I was going to hate wind now.
Moreover, this wind somehow had a cool temperature that reminded me of Dad’s power, which I didn’t like.
“…Tsk, if you’re going to watch, at least come here.”
“Hm?”
Uncle seemed to have muttered something, so I raised my head, but he shook his head saying it was nothing.
“No, it’s nothing. I was just cursing some pathetic human.”
“What are you saying… no, never mind.”
“Why, don’t you have anything you’re curious about from Uncle anymore?”
At his brazen words, I blinked and smiled softly.
“It’s not like that.”
“What is our Ppiyak going to do now?”
Quite a direct question. I had no choice but to look up at Uncle once again.
“Didn’t you come to comfort my broken heart?”
“Oh, correct~ Exactly right. But someone has to ask, don’t they? I feel like I’m the only one who can play this role.”
“…”
“Get plenty of comfort from my youngest brother and my son.”
Uncle chuckled cheerfully.
As expected, this person always laughs carelessly, but he’s neither the good-natured person he appears to be, nor someone easy to deal with.
Instead of pouting my lips, I shrugged my shoulders.
I was indeed starting to think that I needed to ask myself that question too.
“Well, it’s something to think about.”
Dad, Uncle, Little Uncle. And even Brother Gyewon who will become a future talent.
The blueprint I newly established for this life was made under the assumption that all these people would be here.
A cornerstone, no. Since one pillar is missing, it’s only right to revise the plan.
I can’t just keep feeling dejected.
If I do, I’ll be consumed by all the countless emotions I left behind and abandoned in the past.
“Even without Dad, how far Uncle Baek and Uncle Poo can help.”
“Wow, you’re even worrying because the second son is gone?!”
Ah, what a surprise.
“This is the first time Uncle has been ignored like this! How refreshing!”
“…”
“Our Ppiyak, you’re so cold that Uncle’s left atrium hurts so much.”
“How do you even know that word?”
“Because Madam’s hurt there a lot?”
“…”
Wow, he really leaves people speechless.
I know almost nothing about Aunt, Elder Aunt. According to stories Brother Gyewon occasionally brings up, I heard she died while pregnant with the second child.
How is it that each of the brothers carries at least one tragic story?
“If I was being thoughtless, I’m sorry.”
“No? You don’t need to apologize for anything. Not now, not ever.”
Uncle stroked my head. It was quite an affectionate hand.
I firmly grasped his hand and squeezed it tight. I had no intention of keeping my tear ducts weak any longer.
“Last night, some stranger named Hei Bihu came here.”
“Wasn’t that Dad?”
“That wasn’t Dad.”
Uncle laughed refreshingly.
“What kind of father can’t even be remembered by his daughter? I don’t think of it that way.”
“…”
“If Sister-in-law, no, Doctor Baek Arin had seen this scene, she would have said exactly the same thing as me? We were quite close.”
Uncle really spoke refreshingly.
“Uncle also lives without a dad, so now Biyu will live without a dad too?”
…What kind of new type of family roast is this? The dizzying feeling actually made me snap to attention.
The tears that were about to come out also went right back in.
“But I still have two dads left. Uncle, Little Uncle?”
“What kind of dads are those?”
“Well.”
Uncle tapped my forehead lightly. A mischievous yet innocent-looking smile followed.
“Still, when you look back, I hope you’ll think that at least three of us remain—me, Birang, and Our Son.”
“….”
“Uncle will never betray or abandon you, no matter what you do.”
“….”
After saying this, Uncle gazed somewhere in the Garden for a moment. It was a mature look.
“You need at least one person who pretends not to worry about you, so you can feel comfortable, right?”
Only then did I realize that I was leaning against this person very comfortably.
And that I had casually shared my blunt complaints with him.
“…Can I do whatever I want?”
“You can do whatever you want.”
Due to this series of events, I had even postponed the Family Head’s summons. I simply wasn’t in the right state of mind to go.
Fortunately, the Family Head seemed to understand when I said I was feeling unwell after returning from such a long journey.
‘Yes, even so, I need to move forward now.’
I still have things I need to do. So I don’t want to stay stuck Here.
I should go see Dad.
