The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 13

Gulp, I swallowed my saliva.

“Hmm… After returning to normal, it takes a bit for the mind to come back too.”

His habit of subtly drawing out his words made his tone sound more languid the more I listened.

When talking with his son, he seemed like a cheerful person though.

“Huh, has big brother’s brain turned stupid too? That’s such a big problem…”

“Youngest, you just slept and now only your mouth has gotten more talkative.”

“Ack, ack!”

Now that his grip strength had returned too, he unhesitatingly placed his hand on his younger brother Hei Birang’s neck and pressed down firmly.

That sight looked familiar.

“Ack! Let go!”

I quietly distanced myself from Hei Birang.

‘Uncle’s sacrifice, I won’t forget it…’

I was a bit worried because that mischievous Cousin Brother had blurted out the entire situation before I was mentally prepared.

‘If he has resistance to anesthetics, he might get angry.’

The common trait among those suffering from similar symptoms as Uncle is that no one knows when or where they might have a seizure.

“Hmm…”

With his miraculous recovery, he was even sitting up now. Those red eyes staring intently at me felt burdensome.

“You’re scared?”

“Huh? Yes?”

Uncle tilted his head and muttered something like ‘wariness?’

“I understand the situation. So, you’re the Baby Fairy?”

“Please, no, don’t call me that…”

It’s burdensome and embarrassing.

“Alright, fine. Little chick.”

I’d prefer if you didn’t call me that either.

Uncle got up from his spot and strode toward me.

Startled, I almost hiccupped.

“Thank you for helping. Princess.”

Something warm touched my head. When I looked up, I saw a refreshing smile.

“Is this burdensome too? That won’t do~”

This person, I think he wore a similar smile when facing death in the first round.

I felt strange.

“If it weren’t for you, I would have almost turned Birang into lightning-grilled meat, right? What a shame.”

“Hey! What are you saying? Who’s getting grilled? I was going easy on you. I only fell behind because of compatibility, compatibility!”

Like Pikachu and Psyduck.

Definitely, between water and lightning, lightning has the advantage.

“He probably laid hands on my son too. That’s what this Uncle wants to avoid most. So you’re my benefactor.”

“….”

His casual attitude was surprising.

‘Even though it’s our first meeting, he’s already calling himself Uncle.’

The people of the Hei Family that I’ve seen throughout all my lives…

They were all cold and only saw me as a tool to be used.

“But, little one. There’s something I’m curious about…”

Uncle bent down to match my eye level, but he was still quite high up.

I blinked and nodded.

“Please speak.”

“Your offer to treat us is truly admirable… but why did you choose us?”

Uncle’s slightly serious expression made me think this might be closer to his real personality.

“Huh?”

“Don’t you have a dad? Hei Bihu. He should be living here in the Eastern Wing.”

I froze stiff right there.

‘Calm down.’

…It’s not like I didn’t expect this kind of question, right?

“Right? I was curious about that too.”

Little Uncle, who had approached at some point, added to the conversation. He had the same curious expression.

Hei Bihu.

My dad. The person who was confined here because of illness.

In the original story, he died early.

I don’t know the reason.

However, I do know where he’s staying.

‘But I decided not to go find him.’

…Because I thought having just Uncle and Little Uncle would be enough.

I tried not to clench my fists.

‘Uncle and Little Uncle are also connected to my death, but… it’s different from Dad.’

Dad ‘Hei Bihu’ had many opportunities to come find me during the past three lives.

When I was suffering from abuse. When I lived like a slave and was beaten.

Dad had opportunities to save me, opportunities to step forward.

I had expectations once too.

‘Until the first round… I was happy that I had a dad too.’

‘What? Doesn’t that kid have a dad too?’

‘Lord Hei Bihu? Don’t even mention it. Would he come? He’s the one who abandoned his family.’

‘Ah, that’s right… He definitely won’t come.’

Even hearing such words, I couldn’t give up.

In Korea, I was… an orphan.

I met a good friend, and my friend’s family helped me a lot, and I considered them like family. But even so, I dreamed of a real family.

In my first life, my expectations were cruelly betrayed, but I still believed that the second time might be different.

‘Sister! Have you tried contacting him? My dad might be able to help…!’

In my second life, when I was falsely accused of something I didn’t do, I requested Father as my guardian.

I asked the servant sister I could trust at the time to send a letter.

‘Biyu… Listen carefully to what I’m saying. Your father said this.’

‘I have no daughter…’

What came back was a terrible answer.

In the end, in my third life, I left the family without looking back.

So now in my fourth life, it’s true that I don’t particularly want to see him.

‘If there were circumstances, I’d be annoyed because I wouldn’t want to understand. If there weren’t any, I’d be angry because there weren’t.’

I was too busy saving the family and returning home to want to worry about it.

‘I thought he would ask at least once.’

Since I expected it, I had prepared an answer in advance.

“The reason I came to find Uncle.”

I brightened my eyes.

“Uncle doesn’t remember, but he was kind to me.”

At that moment, Uncle forgot to smile and made a blank expression.

“…I was?”

Good. I changed the subject. I inwardly pretended to be calm and smiled innocently.

I wasn’t lying.

“I told you that you wouldn’t remember.”

It’s natural that the current Hei Biwon doesn’t remember.

Because it’s from my first life.

‘…Damn it, dodge! I said dodge!’

In my first life, I got caught up in Hei Biwon’s rampage and died, but that wasn’t Uncle’s fault.

Before his death, Uncle was no longer given anesthetics. Instead, poison that worsened his madness was used.

The moment the relatives gave up on Uncle, they didn’t just let him die peacefully.

They tried to drive him into madness and throw him at the enemies.

‘Crazy bastards.’

However, when the rampage was more serious than expected and the relatives couldn’t handle it, let alone send him to the enemies, and were in danger of dying.

They sent a physician as a sacrifice. That was me, who had just awakened my healing ability at the time.

What was bad were the relatives who forced Uncle into a rampage and used him until the very end.

‘Still so young… I, I really.’

I remember Uncle holding onto my dying self, trying to do something.

‘I’m sorry… I’m so sorry, my precious child…’

Hei Biwon had held me and cried.

A gentle voice whispering apologies. A person who sobbed while desperately struggling to suppress the returning madness with all his might.

He was the first person to cry for my death.

Now it was my turn to help.

Of course, I won’t deny that I came looking for him because I needed him too.

“…When did I see you?”

Uncle, Hei Biwon tilted his head.

“Strange. If I had seen such a pretty child, there’s no way I wouldn’t remember?”

“Father, that sounds really like a terrible playboy.”

“Hey, Hei Biyu, let’s say you’ve met big brother before, but what about me?”

Little Uncle suddenly interjected. I rolled my eyes around.

‘I have met you too, but it wasn’t particularly memorable…’

I needed a bodyguard before going to find Uncle… but I can’t say that, can I? I glanced around slyly.

“While I was at it…?”

“While you were at it? Am I dessert? Something to have on the side?! You came to me first before big brother! I was first!”

“Cough, cough…! Biyu’s coughing…!”

I’ll exercise my right to remain silent.

Then, I spoke clearly to Hei Biwon.

“Don’t hurt anymore.”

I can feel it instinctively.

This person has very good intuition.

He might have noticed that my goodwill isn’t entirely pure.

‘Though it is because of affection.’

And I want to receive your help to return home.

“Daddy is very sad.”

Hei Gyewon flinched.

“Biyu can treat you.”

“…Even just saying that is so grateful.”

Uncle just smiled.

It’s the resignation that only patients who have fought illness for a long time show.

Like Little Uncle at first, he’s probably thinking ‘What makes you different from the countless pharmacists and physicians I’ve encountered?’

“Brother, I understand it feels absurd, but you should believe her.”

Little Uncle, who had approached at some point, pressed down on my head firmly. He grins confidently.

“I also woke up in just 3 days thanks to her.”
