The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 17

“Mister?”

In this life, I need to get along well with that man. I know.

Even so, I couldn’t hold back my temper and said this.

However, though it wasn’t intentional, I seemed to have drawn an effective reaction from this man.

The man who had been watching me for a while slowly stood up from his seat.

‘Wow, he’s really tall.’

He was as tall as Hei Bihu and Hei Birang. He seemed thin, probably from not eating well.

His long hair fluttered in the wind.

“I asked who you are.”

His tone became stiff. I rolled my eyes around. Well, I’d made one provocative remark already.

I guess it’s time to tell the truth now.

“Your daughter!”

“…What?”

His handsome eyebrows rose slightly.

It was a confused expression.

The man seemed to ponder slowly, then said.

“I… don’t have a daughter.”

Oh. I expected it, but what an amazing father to start with such an unfilial statement.

‘Well, I understand.’

He would have erased everything from his memory.

‘In Korean terms, it would be Alzheimer’s.’

That’s right.

My father’s illness was that he couldn’t remember anything.

Not his parents or siblings, not his friends.

Not his wife.

Not his daughter.

Until the 1st and 2nd rounds, I didn’t know about Dad’s illness. It would be more accurate to say I had no chance to know.

In the 3rd round, I stubbornly turned away from Dad, but even so, as I pursued information, I learned what illness he suffered from.

It was said to be an illness similar to Earth’s Alzheimer’s disease, where memories deteriorate and one often becomes absent-minded.

“It doesn’t matter that you can’t remember.”

I spoke clearly with pronunciation I had practiced many times. I didn’t want to seem like a baby.

“If you gave birth to me, take wesponsibility.”

“…Responsibility, you mean.”

You can understand baby talk somewhat? That’s a pass.

I checked Dad’s condition with cold eyes. It was certain he had forgotten me, and he said he had forgotten Mother too.

“…Right. I said I was married.”

Following the unfilial father, now a failing husband. My deceased mother must be glaring from Heaven.

“Haah….”

The man let out a languid breath.

He was handsome enough to be in a photo shoot, but he stirred no emotion in me.

He was just the father who abandoned me, and a patient suffering from a terrible disease.

“How troublesome.”

After that listless voice, the man raised his head.

“Let’s say that’s true.”

I thought I saw a dark light flicker in his crimson eyes, even redder than Uncle’s.

“…But how can I believe you based on just your words?”

My body floated up gently.

I wasn’t surprised.

‘Wind Magic.’

I hadn’t come here without any preparation. Fragmentary knowledge about Dad that I had gained from the previous round.

And….

Before coming here, I had met with Hei Birang and talked with him.

‘Your dad’s ability? Why are you asking me that?’

‘Well, I’ve never seen him even once!’

‘What? …How have you been living alone all this time? Does that make sense? Hey.’

Little Uncle looked shocked by my words.

‘Geez, is this really the time to ask such things?! Wow, this is giving me a headache. Why are you asking me instead of Elder Brother?’

Uncle had gone into hiding, saying it wasn’t a completely safe period for him yet.

‘That person makes me a bit uncomfortable.’

Constantly bringing up Dad’s story, I had a feeling some uncomfortable topics would come up.

Little Uncle, who was moderately oblivious and had low interest in me, was much better.

When I said I’d just leave if he wouldn’t tell me, only then did Hei Birang share a few things.

‘Your dad handles wind. And… he’s ridiculously strong. Was he similar to Elder Brother, or maybe even stronger.’

Besides this, he also told me facts I already knew, that he had forgotten me and Mother.

‘He probably knows the fact that he was married, right? He just can’t remember.’

‘Tell me about his disease too.’

‘That’s….’

For some reason, he couldn’t continue talking about Dad’s disease. He messed up his hair wildly and told me to ‘see for yourself.’

Well, I roughly knew about it, so I didn’t pry any further.

‘Ah, whatever. Go see for yourself. But do you really have to go alone? I’ll be generous and just let me come with you…’

‘I’ll be back!’

And now was that time.

I stared at the man while being held by the scruff of my neck, floating in midair.

‘Wow, this is really high.’

If I fell, I’d break bones at minimum. I glanced to the side of the man. There was a fairly large pond there.

‘Is that water clean?’

I brought a Water Container just in case. If push came to shove, I’d have to use that water for Diagnosis. But it was unlikely to be clean.

“You’re saying you’re my Daughter?”

Red eyes stared at me.

“You don’t resemble me in the slightest, yet you speak so shamelessly.”

Well, that’s because I’m a carbon copy of Mother.

Was it in the 2nd round? I’d seen Dad’s Portrait once. Wow, we really don’t look alike at all, I’d felt the same way.

“There have been countless others besides you spouting such nonsense. Even recently there were some. I suppose because I’m sick, I must look ridiculous to them.”

Mockery tinged his seemingly gentle, quiet voice.

“I don’t care what purpose you have for this fraud, or what ulterior motives brought you here.”

The invisible air made my breathing slightly difficult.

‘Wow, this pressure is no joke.’

I could even feel the wind moving like blades, whirring beside me.

But compared to the threats I’d experienced in previous rounds.

‘This is still child’s play.’

“…I am not your Dad.”

You’re going to regret this.

“Brat!”

“Do you want to fall into the Pond?”

I thought he might react like this.

I pressed my instinctively trembling lips together and maintained a smiling face.

Looking at the man who didn’t bat an eye, I grinned broadly.

“What if I prove it?”

I was being held, but I could still move my hands.

“Hey, Dad. I may look like this, but I’m both a Physician and Pharmacist.”

“…Living long, I hear all sorts of nonsense. A little brat like you? Is Mother mocking me?”

The man narrowed his eyes. Since he controlled wind, he might just blow me away like this.

Things got a bit urgent. I should stop the light venting and aggravation here.

“I didn’t lie. I just need to prove it, right?”

I grabbed my Bag and opened it.

I’d considered various scenarios. The situation where this person couldn’t believe I was his Daughter. And the situation where he’d threaten me.

“It’s not hard to find out if we share the same blood.”

“….”

“Just one drop of blood. That’s all I need.”

“….”

“Isn’t it strange? What reason would I have to come here and shout that I’m Dad’s daughter? If I really had ulterior motives, there would be tons and tons of other ways!”

I glanced toward the Western Wing where the Main Hall was located, then turned my head away.

“Dad thinks he was abandoned here.”

I saw his expression harden, though very slightly.

The man who had been staring intently at me raised his hand. Whoosh, wind brushed past and blood flowed from his finger.

“What’s next?”

Huh, why is he being so obedient?

‘I thought he’d make more of a fuss in my imagination?’

Though bewildered, I quickly held out the Test Plate I had prepared in advance.

“Here! Here! Put it here!”

And what about me? I saw wind spinning like a blade. Ah, there it is.

The moment I brought my hand toward the wind.

“…What are you doing!”

My body was pushed back with a whoosh.

“Do you want your wrist to fly off? If you’re going to commit suicide, do it alone.”

I saw the man’s face with a terrifying expression.

I smiled brightly.

“I need to draw blood too!”

I need to draw my blood too. And even if I get hurt, I can heal it.

‘You don’t know how convenient it is that I can easily heal wounds on my own body.’

And if he was going to kill or hurt me in the first place, he would have done it already.

The man raised his eyebrows as if dumbfounded.

Regardless of that, I dropped my blood onto the Test Plate.

‘How wonderful that there’s something like a paternity test here too.’

Moreover, since there were issues with illegitimate children in noble families, it was a more commonly used reagent than I thought.

The key question was whether Dad remembered this…

‘Since he’s not stopping me, I guess he has this kind of common knowledge?’

The Herbal Reagent I had prepared in advance quickly became colored.

“This – if it’s black, we’re strangers, and if it’s blue, we share the same blood.”

I held out the Test Plate that had quickly changed color so the man could see it and smiled.

“See, we share the same blood, right?”

We just don’t look alike. We’re father and daughter, Father.

Now, quietly accept it and receive a diagnosis. Let’s try taking medicine from now on?
