The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 16

“You saw Biyu’s ability. Don’t worry. Even sleepyhead Uncle got better.”

Since we’re talking about it.

Two days ago, I tried using ‘Diagnosis’ on Uncle.

‘It was a complete mess.’

And when I roughly looked at the medicine I’d need to make…

‘It was as expected.’

Uncle also had an enormous number of stages and quantities of medicine to make.

Though it was less than Little Uncle’s, I suppose.

Even with the same incurable disease, Uncle’s case was on the easier side.

‘It’s probably thanks to treating many madness and seizure cases in my third life.’

To put it in numbers, if Little Uncle was level 100 difficulty, Uncle would be around 70?

It was obvious who I should treat first. That’s why I wanted to go to the market even more.

I needed to get good ingredients, suitable ingredients. And build up proficiency in this young body while making them.

‘As you can see, I have it all planned out.’

So Cousin Brother and Little Uncle don’t need to worry about anything.

“Who are you calling sleepyhead? Tsk. Such manners.”

Ignoring Uncle’s grumbling, I looked at Cousin Brother.

“I’m more amazing than you think.”

You’ll be surprised the more you see?

“So just think about your family.”

“…”

I took the Thunder Beast from Little Uncle’s hands.

Peep! Peeeeep-!

For some reason, it didn’t show any resistance to me. It seemed to grab my finger and cry pitifully.

Hmm, it’s cute but a little pitiful.

“Take this one too. There’s no problem with you taking it.”

As far as I remember, Hei Gyewon might turn dark due to his father’s death, but he didn’t suffer from madness.

Even if variables arise in this life and he does develop it, I can just treat him.

Because I’m a genius.

Instead of taking the Thunder Beast I offered, hesitant Cousin Brother carefully opened his mouth.

He looked like he was about to cry.

“…I wasn’t trying to get rid of it or turn away from it.”

“…”

“Of course, it’s not like I never had those thoughts… I was scared, and afraid. I wondered why it appeared when I never wanted it.”

…Excuse me? Hey there, big brother? The kid can hear everything….

Should I cover her ears or something? But with this furball, I can’t even tell where the ears are….

However, the furball had stopped its pitiful crying.

It was looking at Hei Gyewon with innocent eyes, or rather, eyes filled with some kind of expectation.

“Uncle is right. Someday… I was scared that I might develop the same illness as Father. The last physician who visited said there was a possibility it could be hereditary.”

“Quite a sharp one, isn’t he.”

“Huh?”

“No, continue.”

Hei Gyewon hesitated.

“Ahem, there were times like that. But my thoughts changed in just a few days.”

“….”

“It’s thanks to you.”

Hei Gyewon’s gaze as he looked at me was so bright it was overflowing with expectation.

“I only thought about a future where Father wouldn’t recover and I’d get sick too. Even when I didn’t want to think about it…. But I don’t think it’ll be like that anymore.”

Hei Gyewon reached out and placed his hand over mine that was holding Thunder Beast.

“I’ll work hard to repay this debt. Now I’ll try to face this child properly too. I won’t turn away anymore.”

“….”

“You’re amazing, so you’ll probably need a lot of warriors in the future.”

…I don’t need that many though?

Thunder Beast leaped into Hei Gyewon’s arms and rubbed its face all over his chest.

Hei Gyewon looked surprised at first, then smiled softly and petted Thunder Beast.

“I want to become stronger too. And even though I was a bad master, I hope this poor child won’t disappear.”

In the original story, the Female Lead, and an ability user with a divine beast I met in the 3rd round, said this.

That divine beasts and ability users are tightly bound together, companions in life.

If it’s true that Hei Gyewon destroyed his divine beast with his own hands throughout the past rounds, how sad that must have been.

“I won’t turn away anymore.”

Watching the boy speak as if making a vow, I smiled brightly.

Seeing a patient overcome their depression, or overcome trials and recover, was always a pleasant thing to witness.

There were times when that was the only comfort in this damn world.

‘Though this big brother isn’t exactly a patient.’

Should this be called growth?

Just keep growing like this, big brother. I don’t want you to become the mastermind.

“Well, well, you know how to say some pretty admirable things?”

“Don’t touch me.”

“What?”

Uncle trying to pat his head and Gyewon big brother grimacing as he tried to dodge.

And Thunder Beast, who had somehow returned to my hands. Thunder Beast was earnestly rubbing its head against me.

‘…It’s cute. Like a chick.’

I smiled and petted Thunder Beast, then quietly raised my head.

Gyewon big brother chose to face his fears. While believing that there was hope and a future.

‘Then I should face him too.’

I thought it wouldn’t be a problem even without him.

I believed I could live this life well even without that person.

But after boldly confronting Cousin Brother like that, it would be ridiculous to turn away now.

My eyes sparkled with determination.

I should go find that person called Dad.

* * *

Strike while the iron is hot, as they say. I immediately changed clothes and set out.

“Haah…”

I was breathing heavily.

‘Both of them looked surprised when I said I was going to Dad.’

I had pushed away Uncle and Cousin Brother who offered to take me there, and came alone.

First life, second life, third life… up until now.

A person who had never once come looking for me.

‘I need to think coldly about this.’

Since I’ve decided to face him.

Let me think about how to use him, where he might be needed.

Certainly, to establish the Female Lead as Family Head and achieve what I want, it would be better to have that ‘Dad’ on my side too.

I slapped my cheek with my small hand.

“Good.”

Mother died early from illness. Even then, Dad didn’t come looking for Mother.

I roughly know what kind of illness it was.

Having lived three lives, I’ve picked up quite a bit of information.

Hei Bihu.

My father.

Let me go coldly and propose a contract, treating him only as a mutual contractual relationship.

“…I don’t need anything like a daddy.”

I muttered as if making a resolution and ran forward with quick steps.

How long had I walked?

I reached the Garden located at the very corner of the Eastern Wing.

When I got to almost the end of the Garden, I could see a huge tree.

I was out of breath and my heart was beating unpleasantly fast. It was really a long distance for a three-year-old child.

“Haa…”

I walked a bit more and looked ahead.

Before I knew it, I could see a large, magnificent Cherry Blossom Tree.

I heard that flowers bloom luxuriantly here every spring.

But it was a place I hadn’t paid attention to in my past life.

Beneath it, I could see a large man comfortably leaning against the tree.

Black hair that reached down to his waist. A delicate forehead.

If Little Uncle had the feeling of a somewhat prickly noble young master, this man was completely different—a handsome man with a languid impression.

Graceful eyes. Long eyelashes. A straight nose bridge.

He was a beautiful and handsome person who seemed like looking at an Eastern painting, as if not of this world, yet for some reason.

His face was that of someone who had resigned and given up on many things. In a way, he also looked detached.

That person was Hei Bihu.

He was my father.

I walked forward step by step and stood in front of the man.

His bright red eyes moved slowly.

Though he had noticed my presence from the beginning, he turned his head very slowly as if he hadn’t been looking.

We quietly gazed at each other.

The man’s untied hair fluttered gently in the spring breeze.

“Pretty child.”

A dry but pleasant voice called out to me.

“Who are you?”

At his voice that even held affection, I felt a surge of emotion.

I’m the daughter you abandoned through four lifetimes.

I swallowed the answer I couldn’t voice.

I had wanted to call you this way at least once.

With resentment.

“Hello, mister.”
