The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius
Chapter 163
It was a lie that might be discovered. However, since Dad loses his memory every time, there was a higher chance it wouldn’t be found out.
Mother stared at me intently.
Then she smiled softly. Since this was the first time I’d seen Mother move, I couldn’t tell what her smile meant.
“I see. That’s a relief…”
But it doesn’t seem to be a bad meaning, so I guess it’s fine?
“Yes. So don’t worry.”
It was when I said this.
“Ugh…”
A small groan came from below. Mother and I looked down as if we had made a promise.
Dad, who had been unconscious, was stirring.
“Dad!”
He must have suffered a strong impact from falling down the cliff.
Since he was already a patient with brain and mental disorders, I couldn’t tell what the aftermath from the shock would be like.
‘…I treated the external injuries and fractures for now, and confirmed through diagnosis that there were no major head injuries, but.’
I watched Dad with an anxious heart.
Whether he knew this or not, Dad, who was handsome even with his eyes closed, slowly lifted his eyelids with long eyelashes.
The moment I saw Dad’s red irises, I gulped.
I hurriedly waved my hand toward Dad’s eyes.
There was a reaction in his pupils…
What made me more nervous than anything was not knowing what state Dad’s memory would be in.
Even though the simple diagnosis showed no abnormalities, I hadn’t examined him thoroughly.
Had his memory been reset again?
Dad’s eyes rolled to look at me. A sigh escaped from his mouth.
“Ah… I didn’t die?”
“Why would you die!”
This person has no filter in front of his daughter with a bright future ahead.
“Are you planning to make me an orphan?!”
“Ah… Right. That wouldn’t be good.”
Looking at Dad smiling like a young boy, I realized.
“Did I do something wrong?”
Ah, he’s still sixteen. I gulped.
‘No, then… Dad doesn’t remember the fact that he married Mother.’
Of all times… At this moment when he met Mother, Dad’s condition is like this. I unconsciously sighed in regret.
“But where is this? I’m sure I crashed into the ground. Hmm… The dagger is gone too.”
“I pulled out the Sword and did some rough Treatment. And here is….”
There was no need to continue speaking here. Because Dad, who had been looking around, finally discovered Mother.
I swallowed my breath with a gulp.
Dad’s eyes widened. Dad remained frozen for a while with his eyes wide open.
– ….
Mother also couldn’t continue speaking and remained still for a while. Her expression was unreadable – whether it was shock, emotion, or perhaps sadness.
– Bihu….
“Wait, huh. Sister?”
Mother and Dad spoke at the same time.
And they both looked at each other in surprise, widening their eyes or blinking.
It was Dad who quickly continued speaking. Dad said in bewilderment.
“Why, why… have you aged?”
– What?
“Oh, right…. I’m over thirty now. Oh. That’s right. Then Sister, you’re also way over thirty… ugh.”
Smack! This time I was surprised too.
Mother lightly kicked Dad’s shin, and surprisingly, Mother’s attack had substance and actually hit Dad.
Huh? Is this possible…? She definitely couldn’t touch Narang, right? Or maybe attacks are okay?
– Is that what’s important right now?
Mother had a slightly annoyed expression.
What was interesting was that when Mother talked with Narang, she seemed affectionate and like an ideal ‘adult’, but now even as a ghost, she seemed more lively.
“Well, it’s surprising. I opened my eyes and there’s even a Daughter, and you say you got married. With Sister?”
– For me, that’s a story from long ago, so it’s not surprising.
Mother let out a small sigh.
– And you really know how to ruin touching moments, don’t you, just like before?
“Well…. It was a bit strange that Sister called me Bihu instead of calling me an idiot.”
Dad rubbed the back of his neck, looking a bit embarrassed.
After a moment, he looked up at Mother. He seemed to be carefully taking in Mother’s appearance.
“That’s right. Time has definitely passed. To see Sister like this….”
In Dad’s eyes as he gazed at Mother, complex emotions that I couldn’t express arose.
Dad must have known too. Since I had told him earlier that I lost my Wife early. He seemed to feel a lot from Mother’s translucent appearance.
“Should I say I’m glad to see you even like this?”
Dad smiled brightly. It was a fresh, boyish smile.
“I was so surprised earlier that my words came out a bit strange.”
– ….
“Sister, why did you grow up like this? You’re so pretty I almost didn’t recognize you.
– …How shameless.
Mother spoke curtly, but I could tell her voice had become blurred with moisture.
Mother briefly lowered her head.
Her delicate shoulders trembled slightly.
– I see. You eventually….
When I looked up again, Mother was smiling with tears hanging in her eyes.
– This might actually be better.
Mother gently descended and crouched down in front of Dad who was sitting on the floor.
– Yes, nice to meet you again. Black Family Fool.
I couldn’t intrude between Mother and Dad, but I could guess.
That nickname was probably an affectionate term they used in their childhood that I would never know about.
Dad hesitated.
Whatever he wanted to say, or perhaps feeling frustrated, he pressed his forehead.
“…They said I’d lose my memory and it’s really true. Sister, I can’t remember your name.”
Dad muttered quietly. Then, frowning and losing his balance for a moment, I was startled and supported him.
“Dad!”
“Ah, I’m fine. I’m fine. So this is what being weak feels like.”
Dad shook his head gently and gazed at Mother.
Then he hesitantly opened his mouth. He looked pained.
“Sister, I’m sorry… for not remembering.”
– It’s okay.
Tears streamed down Mother’s cheeks. Mother quickly wiped away her tears. Even though they were tears shed by a ghost, it didn’t feel strange at all.
Rather, I felt sorry that I couldn’t offer her a handkerchief or wipe away her tears.
– It’s really okay. Instead, it seems like you’ve raised Our Daughter really well.
Dad’s eyes turned toward me.
There was no way I could say here that what I said earlier was actually a lie, and that I had grown up alone.
After pondering, I decided to act cute, something completely unlike me. I cupped my hands under my chin and smiled.
“That’s right. I grew up very well, so take a look.”
Well, here I am acting cute at this age when I never did it even at three years old. But it wasn’t unpleasant.
A little while later.
After the situation was somewhat sorted out, I discussed the next steps with Dad.
Actually, I wanted to catch up more with Mother, but the situation was urgent.
When I was worrying about the Pursuers, Mother solved this problem for me.
– Pursuers won’t come here, so don’t worry. You can rest comfortably.
This Shrine is a place that only opens under specific environmental conditions or in front of specific people.
However, even if the environmental conditions are met, Eastern Continent People cannot enter unless they are from the Eastern Continent, and even if there are Eastern Continent People, access is equally impossible if Western Continent People are mixed in the group.
I don’t know the exact principle, but it’s probably because this is a place that enshrines the Guardian Deity of the Eastern Continent.
It was reassuring.
“That’s fortunate.”
Our destination was still the Herb Garden. We needed to go there to contact Uncle and Uncle.
‘As long as I don’t know what aftereffects Dad might have, and in a situation where I don’t know how many Pursuers remain on this Mountain, I can’t rashly descend.’
Dad had similar thoughts.
Rather, he made a serious expression while recalling the earlier battle. He seemed frustrated that he had been defeated like this.
Seeing that expression made me realize that Dad really was sixteen years old.
Mother seemed to have similar feelings.
– He was truly the embodiment of competitive spirit even when he was actually sixteen.
“Really? I thought he was a lazy, unmotivated young master.”
– Right?
Mother showed interest. I could see she was curious about the past events she hadn’t been present for, but unfortunately, there were limits to what I could tell her.
While I smiled awkwardly, Mother extended her hand.
– You’re going back now, aren’t you?
At those words, my heart sank with a thud.
