The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

 

Chapter 114

 

In the end, what the man chose wasn’t an answer but a different topic.

 

“…Not only that, but I also heard about what happened at the grand council.”

 

I could guess how he had heard about it.

 

When the Warriors and Third Aunt’s Husband were defeated in battle, Third Aunt must have been furious and shouted all sorts of things.

 

‘That personality of hers never changes.’

 

And the man must have inferred what happened from just hearing a few stories. I had already experienced that he was a smart person.

 

“She was talking about it like it was an interesting story…”

 

“…”

 

“It wasn’t interesting at all.”

 

The man had an expression that was difficult for me to interpret.

 

Even though I was curious about what he was thinking, I shook my head inwardly.

 

Because I had decided not to be curious anymore.

 

“…Earlier when we were in the Reception Room. You had your wind attached to me, didn’t you?”

 

Instead, I asked a different question.

 

During my private meeting with the Family Head, and while the Family Head’s wind was threatening me.

 

For a moment, I felt a gentle and cool stream of wind protecting me.

 

‘The Family Head didn’t seem to notice though.’

 

Thinking about it, it wasn’t strange. The man had said his power ran wild on its own.

 

If that wasn’t a lie, then his power would have stayed attached to me on its own even after we separated.

 

However, it wasn’t comfortable.

 

The wind that seemed ready to step forward for me at any time… I had to endure the eerie feeling in my chest as it reminded me of something familiar.

 

I had become able to distinguish between other people’s wind and Dad’s wind, something I wouldn’t have known before. Only after Dad disappeared.

 

“Did you hear everything I said to the Family Head?”

 

I spoke a bit harshly without meaning to. The man who had been hesitating at my words slowly shook his head.

 

“I didn’t hear it. You probably know that my power runs wild on its own, and I just took measures so I could sense danger.”

 

“Why?”

 

Even at this moment, I knew that the man’s wind was wrapping around me on its own.

 

“Because I’m someone you treated? But Uncle, you don’t remember. You don’t seem like someone who would repay a debt you can’t remember.”

 

“That’s right. I seem to be that kind of person.”

 

The man briefly averted his gaze. His expression was confused and troubled.

 

“Why do I think that you shouldn’t leave me, far from finding you bothersome.”

 

I wasn’t shaken.

 

“Even if that weren’t the case, I’m not cold enough to turn away from someone who used their lifespan for me.”

 

“That’s not it though. You seemed pretty cold.”

 

“…”

 

This was sincere. You just don’t remember, but you threatened me when we first met, you know?

 

I shrugged my shoulders.

 

“If that’s what the problem was, then forget it.”

 

A topic I had intentionally avoided ever since the man said his power was uncontrolled and allowed cooperation with me.

 

“Or are you acting like this because I’m your daughter?”

 

I looked directly into the man’s eyes. It wasn’t a topic I could avoid forever anyway.

 

This man would know who I was from the Medical Journal records. If his uncontrolled power was real, he would have sensed it here too.

 

“Then let me say this now. I’m not your daughter, Uncle.”

 

“….”

 

“My dad, the person who loved me, is nowhere to be found now.”

 

I guess there are advantages to having gone through too many hardships. Some pain only adds familiar ache to scars that already exist.

 

It means it’s bearable, not painful enough to make me scream.

 

It will get better with time. Even if the pain doesn’t disappear, it will become duller.

 

“I’m grateful for your cooperation and help. If you continue to cooperate, that would be perfect.”

 

“….”

 

“But don’t expect anything more than that. I’ll keep my promise too.”

 

I will definitely keep it.

 

“I stake my honor as a Physician and Pharmacist on it.”

 

Do you even know that this honor is more precious to me than life itself?

 

Well, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know.

 

Now I only think that nothing matters anymore. I looked at the sky.

 

It was the same as the sky on the day I thought I wanted to fly with Dad one more time, so I gently closed my eyes.

 

“Unfortunately, whenever I became aware that I had lost my memories, only bad memories would always come to mind.”

 

Following the man’s voice, the chest I leaned against rumbled. It was uncomfortable.

 

“Good things always disappear. I don’t think I ever felt regret though.”

 

The man adjusted his hold on me.

 

“I was just a fool who didn’t know what I had abandoned while giving up.”

 

I flinched my hand.

 

“Thank you for showing me clearly that I’m a terrible human being right now.”

 

The man neither apologized nor asked for forgiveness. He didn’t ask me to accept him as my father either.

 

As if he knew that such actions would only cause me more pain.

 

That appearance was like Dad, who always comforted me silently, so I secretly clenched my fist.

 

“Then I’ll trust you not as my daughter, but as a Physician. You said you treated me, right?”

 

I hesitated. It would be accurate to say I couldn’t react because I heard unexpected words.

 

“That treatment will definitely continue to be effective in the future.”

 

With these words, the man calmly adjusted his hold on me and walked.

 

“You’re the best Physician I’ve ever seen, and the first Physician I trust.”

 

And a few days later, news came that Third Aunt had been dismissed from her position as Ability Test General Management and from the Educational Institution.

 

Following that, news came that several Warriors from the Family Head’s Palace had received severe disciplinary action.

 

The Family Head kept her promise.

 

It was a refreshing victory.

“Hmm, good.”

 

I looked in the mirror and adjusted my clothes this way and that.

 

‘Strange. Why is it that my hands have no problem handling medicinal materials…’

 

I frowned.

 

Why is it that when I tie a hair ribbon, it’s always unbalanced? I always emphasize thorough distribution, formulation, and dosage! Because of this habit, the crooked ribbon really bothered me.

 

“Biyu?”

 

Someone peeked their head through the open door. It was Raon.

 

“What’s wrong?”

 

“Mm, this ribbon…”

 

When I explained the whole situation, Raon approached with big steps.

 

Oh my, what a surprise…

 

‘He really is so pretty.’

 

I was startled when the doll-like boy suddenly poked his head out. His long eyelashes fluttered right in front of my eyes.

 

“Can I try doing it?”

 

“Hm? Yes. Please help me!”

 

Today too, his sparkling golden eyes looked at me and curved prettily.

 

“Can I untie it first?”

 

“Yes. Please tie it again.”

 

And the result was…

 

“What are you two doing?”

 

A moment later, Uncle, who was looking into my room, had a bewildered expression. He seemed to have just woken up.

 

“…What, are you playing ghost maiden?”

 

He had good reason to say that… What could have been called tied hair until earlier was now loose and disheveled.

 

And the ribbon was all tangled around mine and Raon’s wrists. Actually, I don’t know how this happened either…

 

“Ugh, it’s scary enough to appear in my dreams.”

 

“Really ridiculous.”

 

“It’s real though? With that long hair too!”

 

Uncle grumbled as he combed my hair. Then he naturally tied it up, which actually surprised me a bit.

 

‘Is it different because he’s a dad with a daughter? Why is he so skilled at this?’

 

Wait, didn’t he send Ayan away to other people when she was very young?

 

“What, why are you so good at this? It’s annoying…”

 

“What? There’s plenty to be annoyed about! Are you ignoring me even when I help you?”

 

Uncle clicked his tongue as if incredulous and awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck.

 

“…I practiced so I could do it for my daughter when she comes back later. Ahem.”

 

“Practiced? On what?”

 

What, did he do it with a doll? But there weren’t any dolls like that in Uncle’s dwelling?

 

“With, with my hair.”

 

“…Oh. Uncle, don’t tell me you did pigtails?”

 

“….”

 

I imagined Uncle doing pigtails in his empty house and burst out laughing, holding my stomach.

 

‘Ah, it’s even funnier because it suits him?’

 

After I laughed to my heart’s content, Uncle’s face turned bright red and he finally grabbed my cheek.

 

Then startled Raon burst into tears.

 

Until Brother Gyewon, surprised by Raon’s crying, came running and said something.

 

“Uncle! You grabbed Biyu’s cheek again…! Don’t you have any learning ability at all!”

 

“This time she teased me first!”

 

“I don’t care!”

 

I laughed for a long time. Without knowing what kind of eyes the man was watching us with from afar.

 

* * *

 

“My goodness, Baby Physician! How long has it been!”

 

The reason I brought out my outing clothes today was for this. I came out for once to meet Jeok Yunha.

 

Oh right, they said Uncle and Great Uncle’s outing ban was lifted. They were excited about their official outing too.

 

‘Why am I being held in this mister’s arms?’

 

I glanced up at the man holding me. It couldn’t be helped, I suppose.

 

It was all because of that damn wind.

 

When exactly was he going to control his power? I pouted.

 

“Have you been well?”

 

Well anyway, today I was supposed to meet for something important.

 

“Of course. If you knew how much I missed you, you wouldn’t be able to say that, would you? Your pretty and cute face appeared even in my dreams, Physician. Heeng.”

 

…Was this elder sister always such a talkative person?

 

I thought she only acted like this after becoming closer.

 

I smiled brightly while feeling puzzled.

 

“Yeah, I missed you too.”

 

Anyway, this person was someone who was kind to me in the 3rd round.

 

Then Jeok Yunha seemed surprised and glanced at the man’s reaction.

 

“…Hooh?”

 

“Why are you like that?”

 

“No no, someone tried to kill me with jealousy. This scary person…!”

 

Jeok Yunha stroked her neck. Her face had turned a bit pale.

 

Tried to kill her, she said. The only person here capable of that would be Dad, no. The man, wouldn’t it?

 

But when I glanced up, his face was perfectly calm.

 

“Oh my, how scary. If I said I wanted to see you twice more, I’d get a night visitor!”

 

“…?”

 

I tilted my head, then just let it pass, thinking that must be it. I figured she was making a fuss to ease the awkwardness since it had been a while.

 

Besides, to Jeok Yunha’s eyes, the relationship between Dad and me might look the same as before.

 

“Is the matter you asked me to look into finished?”

 

“Ah, that? Yes! It was Baby Physician’s request, so I looked into it as quickly as possible.”

 

Jeok Yunha leaned her head toward me. She whispered quietly.

 

“Hei Ayan, this is about that child, right?”

 

I smiled and nodded.

 

Now, Protagonist. It’s time to come get you.

 

Elder Sister is coming.
