The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 158

Without realizing it, I suddenly recalled a conversation from long ago.

‘Hey, that thing next to you is a fox cub, you know?’

‘I agree.’

‘Haha, Uncle agrees too. Is it following the bell?’

‘I’m warning you, if that guy acts up, step on his tail, okay?’

Those were the words of Uncle, Dad, and Uncle in order. I quickly shook my head.

Looking back, those gentlemen were sometimes too harsh to a child, even while doting on Raon.

“Yes, it’s a promise.”

I nodded my head.

Though what answer I would give was already decided, by that time Raon would have matured enough to handle it.

“Yeah, good.”

Raon smiled brightly and gently shook my hand.

Four snow-white tails swayed back and forth enticingly, as if in a good mood.

“Oh, and Biyu. I have something to tell you.”

“Hm? What is it?”

“Can I tell you later instead of now?”

My curiosity was brief as I said it was fine.

Raon looked around, then came close to me and whispered, even though we were alone.

“It’s a secret…”

There was a breath like soft down and the warm scent of wildflowers.

“I think I know my true identity. It’s a story related to that.”

I was a little surprised by the meaningful words.

But only briefly, as I nodded.

I too had some suspicions.

Then I smiled prettily.

“Yes, Raon. I’ll look forward to the day you tell me.”

* * *

“I wonder what story it could be.”

Raon stared intently at Biyu.

She was definitely younger than him, yet she always had an adult-like expression.

Sometimes she looked melancholy, sometimes sad. Rarely, but on some days she even looked troubled.

During this time, the main cause was Hei Bihu. Every time Hei Bihu lost his memories, Biyu was affected.

Of course, now that five years had passed, she didn’t cry or struggle like she did at first.

She seemed to swallow her pain inwardly.

Just like her deceased Mother.

Raon was separated from his Mother when he was very young.

The shock was so great that he lost his memories of his Mother for a while.

‘My baby, don’t worry if your speech is slower than other children your age. When you grow up… you’ll be wiser and smarter than anyone else. It’s a blessing the Dragon has given us.’

She was beautiful but frail and sorrowful. Until her death, she longed for her separated sisters and Family members.

As he grew, his memories returned one by one.

Biyu likes pretty, delicate, and weak things. Her weakness only toward Ayan was proof of that.

That’s why Raon had wanted to receive affection for a very long time.

‘Baby, you can make a Fox Orb. Because you’re Mother’s Son.’

Memories with his Mother came back one by one.

‘But you must never make it carelessly. Our Son. Your fate will become entangled. So.’

‘Wooeh?’

His wounded Mother smiled. Mother who grew thinner with each passing day. Mother’s pain was always caused by Father.

‘You mustn’t make foolish choices like Mother did, okay?’

Each of Mother’s words was an explanation that helped Raon understand his own identity.

That he could be of great help to Biyu, perhaps a means to repay the debt of saving his life, and at the same time.

It made him hope for one thing.

With this, maybe Biyu will keep me by her side for life…!

Biyu’s wish is to completely cure Hei Bihu’s illness. Being by her side, he learned how desperate Biyu was.

But that was said to be an incurable disease that even the genius Biyu found difficult.

If, in the end, she couldn’t find the Medicine.

Raon’s small heart pounded. His cheeks also blushed shyly.

In front of Biyu, I’ll be a good person for life, for life.

And.

‘The price for granting wishes is harsh.’

I have to grant Biyu’s wish!

* * *

“Phew, I can finally get out of there.”

I had originally planned to go to the Northern Mountain today. But Benton’s pointless chatter just wasted my time.

Fortunately, my low mood had been completely lifted thanks to Raon a while ago.

Rather, that kid gave me a new shock.

“A chick that hatches from an egg imprints on the first person it sees… Is that what this is?”

“What are you muttering about?”

We were currently inside the Northern Mountain. To reach the land that only the Hei Family’s direct line could enter, we still had quite a way to go.

‘I know it well from stealing elixirs and medicinal herbs before.’

I glanced to the side.

Getting here was a piece of cake. Thanks to having a skilled Wind Mage as Dad, we flew here in no time.

‘At least he didn’t put me on a roller coaster ride like before.’

This also served as a measure to judge whether Dad had lost his memory or not.

Meanwhile, looking at Dad, I recalled the Family Head’s message.

When I said I wanted to enter the Family’s land in the Northern Mountain to make eye disease medicine.

The Family Head said this.

‘Ho, I can look forward to this, right?’

‘It’s been five years, Little One.’

Somehow this person speaks more casually as the years go by. I scratched my neck.

After this competition ends, I’ll have a grandmother.

“Do you know the direction?”

“I received a map.”

“Mm, then I’ll guide you along the way.”

I’ve tried going in with a map before, but because of the barriers and magic techniques set up inside, if you let your guard down even slightly, you’ll get lost even with a map.

“How do you know the way? Is this also a trade secret?”

“Oh, you know me well. It’s not that, I’ve read about it in records.”

“I see.”

Dad nodded briefly, then naturally asked.

“So what’s this talk about imprinting?”

“Huh?”

I tried so hard to change the subject.

“Did the fox do something to you while I was briefly away?”

…Did this Dad lay out a mat without me knowing?

Or maybe despite trying to hide it, he noticed the subtle atmosphere between Raon and me.

“That’s also a secret. Dads who try to pry too much aren’t attractive.”

“I see.”

Dad seemed to nod his head, then looked at me with a somewhat serious expression.

No, it looked more like a troubled expression.

“…Has puberty already arrived?”

I was dumbfounded.

Excuse me.

“I’m still 8 years old, you know?”

“I heard kids these days mature quickly.”

Where does he hear such things?

I thought of Uncle Undeok. There were quite a few suspects. This time I also thought of Jeok Yunha’s face.

‘Don’t say weird things to Dad.’

Maybe it was Uncle.

I shook my head vigorously.

There’s no way I’d go through puberty. This is my 4th life already.

“How lucky. You don’t have to worry about puberty at all. We go that way, right?”

I pointed in one direction and walked.

But then Dad suddenly lifted me up and held me in his arms, then strode forward.

How long had we walked?

Dad suddenly stopped with a start.

‘Huh, are we there already?’

No. There’s still more to go. Rather, this place is… I looked around the deep mountain.

Thanks to Dad’s ability, we had climbed quite high. Since there were many rocky mountains nearby, there were steep cliffs too, making it a place where we needed to be careful.

‘This is where I almost died in my 3rd life.’

I tilted my head.

“Dad, what’s wrong?”

Dad’s expression was unusual.

Dad frowned while looking toward the quiet forest that showed no signs of anything.

“We’re being pursued.”

“What.”

In this mountain? I opened my mouth while clicking my tongue.

‘Don’t they value their lives?’

Why do you think I only brought Dad here?

First, this place was dangerous enough that you’d get lost immediately without a map. Second, Dad’s skills had improved even more over the past 5 years.

If Uncle didn’t have other things to do, he would have come along. But I judged that Uncle wasn’t necessary.

But still…

“They’re not from the Hei Family.”

If they’re not from the Hei Family…

I instantly thought of First Aunt’s sinister face.

“There are many Earth Mages mixed in.”

Dad told me the number of how many were chasing us.

‘Are they insane…?’

Earth Mages meant they were definitely from the Western Continent. Who else could it be in this situation? It must be the Eight Families behind Hei Haran.

I was startled by the number that exceeded my imagination. In terms of warrior units, about 5 units, at minimum over twenty-five people.

If they invaded with this many, naturally the Family Head would notice too.

Or.

“Don’t tell me, even if there’s a risk of being caught and causing problems, they’re coming to interfere with us?”

No, no. They wouldn’t come with such naive intentions.

Only then did I harden my expression.

“They’re coming to eliminate us.”

It’s natural to think of common sense first.

Moreover, no matter how much Hei Haran had joined hands with Carmen and Sinion, I thought she wouldn’t move rashly as long as the Family Head was in good health.

What made her so hasty and impatient?

‘Was she that provoked?’

Besides, if we died, it wouldn’t be strange for this to lead to a rebellion within the Family.

A pursuit team coming while avoiding traps. The person who gave them that map would be from the Direct Line. The Family Head would easily narrow down the suspects too.

A confrontation between the Family Head and Hei Haran had become unavoidable.

“Wow… she’s really going all out.”

Or was she planning to pin it on Third Aunt if they got caught?

Third Aunt, who was quite timid despite her appearance, would never cause such trouble.

However, I wasn’t nervous at all.

“Dad. It looks like we’ll have to deal with them before we go.”

What was there to fear when the former Assassination King was by my side?

“It seems they’re not afraid of dying.”

I smiled coldly.

“We should show them who the real hunter is.”

At this, Dad smiled slightly.

“As you command.”
