The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 157

Memory took me to a moment in the past. It was when ‘Friend’ had shown some improvement.

I stared blankly at the face that grinned at me. The blue sky. Beneath it, long red hair swayed gently.

He was the one who laughed, saying he tried growing his hair out because my long hair looked pretty.

Despite speaking like a complete thug, he had a face like a noble young master, and fierce eyes that held me in their gaze.

‘That old man Father probably went around visiting every Physician there was. It was so tiresome, really.’

‘….’

‘Come to think of it, maybe he did it to meet you?’

‘That’s gross.’

‘What? Why!’

As the memory faded away, I lifted my head.

The moment I saw Benton from Wolfsbane again, my mood instantly plummeted.

I expected it, but.

‘It looks like they’re going to bring up that bastard’s story faster than I expected.’

Are you going to make me treat him once again?

“It’s just a light question, so please answer comfortably.”

If I refuse here, are you going to forcibly kidnap me? Like before?

“Then it wouldn’t matter if I don’t answer, right?”

“Pardon?”

I answered coldly. Suppressing the emotions that began to boil, I raised my gaze.

“Listen here. I really don’t like beating around the bush. If you’re going to bring up your business, then bring it up. So I can clearly refuse.”

“Uh.”

“If you’re still probing, then keep your mouth shut.”

Getting annoyed even at holding back, I revealed my emotions as they were. The man seemed a bit flustered by my suddenly changed attitude.

‘The reason he’s being so cautious is because my status is different from the third round. I know. I know, but.’

I turned my head sharply.

“Dad. Come to think of it, I haven’t given our precious guest a tour of the warehouse?”

Dad’s eyes stared intently at my face. Even knowing the question in his sunken gaze, I shook my head.

The reason comes later.

“Could Dad take him there?”

Dad nodded.

– I heard your request to chase him away loud and clear.

Then he answered so only I could hear.

Soon after, Benton’s body floated up into the air.

Dad had lifted it up with wind.

“Wh-what are you doing?”

“Guidance.”

Dad also lifted his own body up into the air.

“I’ll leave the detailed guidance to just anyone and be right back. Don’t go anywhere. It’s dangerous.”

To say this when he knew Uncle was nearby.

I smiled softly.

Now I could finally smile.

“Yeah, go ahead!”

Dad disappeared, taking Benton with him.

‘The day when he’ll ask me to treat the Young Master isn’t far off…’

I hadn’t revealed it to my family yet, but there was a reason I needed to hear the request to treat the Wolfsbane Family’s son directly from that man’s mouth.

As soon as Dad disappeared, the smile vanished from my face.

My mood sank. I plopped down right where I was.

No more memories about ‘Friend’ came to mind.

‘Ugh, really. I promised myself I wouldn’t care about this in this life…’

Well.

It was the most bitter betrayal of my life, so I guess it couldn’t be helped.

The moment he stabbed me in the back and cornered me. The shock that felt like heaven and earth were changing was still vivid.

‘Uncle is probably watching.’

I shouldn’t show my depression.

He would definitely pester me about which bastard was causing this. I was trying hard to compose my expression when.

“Biyu. Are you here?”

Along with a familiar voice, someone peeked their head into the open barracks.

It was Raon.

“You were here!”

Raon carefully closed the door and walked over, crouching down in front of me.

Pure white silver hair swayed before my eyes.

The moment those innocently pretty eyes turned toward me. The things that had been troubling my mind became a little blurred.

Raon tilted his head. His expression seemed to harden for a moment.

“Why are you crying?”

I blinked.

“Crying? Me?”

“Yeah.”

I felt around my cheeks, but couldn’t feel anything. I’m not crying though?

Raon placed his hand on my cheek. His small hand gently rubbed my cheek. His hand was warm.

“I’ve seen the exact same expression that Biyu was just making before. It was Mother’s face.”

Raon used both ‘Mother’ and ‘Mother’ as forms of address.

“Mother said… this is the face of crying without tears.”

Without realizing it, I avoided Raon’s hand and felt around my face.

It wasn’t something to cry about, was it?

But I smiled softly.

“I see.”

“….”

“I don’t completely agree, but I suppose I must have looked troubled.”

I readily admitted it.

I felt pathetic for tormenting myself while thinking about that bastard.

But there was no need to think that way.

Pain is pain.

A patient must start by acknowledging and facing their illness.

Emotional wounds were the same.

“Raon, I wouldn’t have known if you hadn’t told me.”

I certainly have a dull side when it comes to myself. It’s the result of neglecting myself for so long while being desperate to survive.

“Seeing you makes me realize anew that I’m loved.”

“Love?”

“Yes, you like me too.”

I took Raon’s hand that was resting on my cheek and smiled with joy.

“I like you too.”

That was the moment.

Heat gradually rose to Raon’s face as he looked at me.

Whoooosh!

Peach blossoms bloomed on his pure white face. His cheeks turned red beyond just being flushed.

That wasn’t all.

Pop!

Poof!

Ears appeared on Raon’s head, and a tail that emerged from his bottom was swishing around like a helicopter, all puffed up.

“Yes, Biyu….”

Raon looked confused for a while, then made a serious expression.

So resolute that it made me wonder what was going on.

“Yes, I want to get married too!”

…Huh?

What? What?

“…Raon?”

“Yes.”

Did I propose to you at some point?

Did I do it in my sleep? No matter how much I search my memory, there’s nothing….

I couldn’t have forgotten due to memories from previous cycles… that’s impossible.

“Did I ask you to marry me?”

“Yes. Just now.”

“Just now?”

“Because you said you like me….”

Raon rolled his big eyes this way and that, then curved the corners of his eyes prettily.

“People who like each other get married. I know that well.”

His already pretty and handsome face was flushed red as he spoke with deliberate shyness, making the impact tremendous.

‘Wow….’

Of course, admiration was a separate matter. I scratched the cheek that wasn’t caught in Raon’s hand.

‘This is that thing, right?’

Like when kindergarteners say “I’m going to marry Mommy” or “I’m going to marry the brother next door.”

I couldn’t see how this was any different from that. But we weren’t kindergarten age.

Still, from the perspective of an adult who was on their third life, Raon was still young.

I found an appropriate adult(?) response while not disturbing Raon’s serious resolve.

“Mm, okay. But Raon. Actually, I didn’t mean it in that way…?”

“…You didn’t?”

At that, Raon’s ears drooped down sadly. His eye corners drooped and his ears drooped too.

…I felt guilty.

“But anyway, you said let’s get married, but your feelings might change.”

“They won’t change. I’m certain.”

I didn’t know what basis he had for such confidence, but I nodded for now.

“Okay. Then if those feelings don’t change, tell me again when we become adults.”

Who knows what would happen by then. Probably by the time we became adults….

I would be ready to go to the Imperial Capital.

I lowered my eyes briefly.

I was planning to cut off all the Eight Families, who were essentially the Imperial Family’s limbs, and enter a place left with only the torso.

After a moment, I smiled at Raon.

By then, Raon might be embarrassed about now, or if not that, he would have become a more discerning adult.

I too would be able to formally refuse by then.

I stroked Raon’s head. The ears on his head were fluffy. Mm, it’s healing.

“If you tell me then, I’ll give you a serious answer too.”

Raon removed his hand from my cheek and grasped my hand tightly.

“Is that a promise?”

Why was it? Those eyes sparkled brightly, but at the same time, they also looked satisfied as if things had gone according to plan.
