The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 172

Currently, Mother is visible to everyone’s eyes, and I didn’t lower my voice either, so our conversation must have been heard by all the men.

‘I can understand why Dad, Uncle, and Uncle are all acting like that in my room though…’

Although Hei Haran was confined, there might still be remnants left, so saying the danger wasn’t over, they all came rushing to my room.

Hei Haran’s trial was held quickly. To be exact, it was held 3 days later.

In the meantime, I was busy treating the eye disease that had spread throughout the territory and the terrible infectious disease that had mutated from the eye disease, while spreading prevention and countermeasure guidelines.

It’s best to prevent illness before catching it. This was also my principle.

‘All of the Eight Families must be scared out of their wits.’

Due to this incident, most of the guests staying at the Hei Family Estate had to move their dwellings or return home.

Certain individuals were almost confined.

Knight Benton who came from Wolfsbane was the same. That knight who came from ‘Friend’s’ family estate.

That man was marked as a person of interest and was being monitored. I didn’t particularly care.

‘Among the Eight Families, probably only Sinion and Carmen are directly involved in this matter.’

They were those guys who were particularly obsessed with biochemical weapons in the 3rd round. I know well since they approached me to make weapons too.

Especially Sinion must have been dying to get rid of the Hei Family Estate.

When day broke, I headed to the Family Head’s Palace.

“The weather isn’t good.”

Instead of walking on my own feet, I went while being held in Dad’s arms, and what’s really curious is.

Even though this Dad has lost all his memories and thinks he’s sixteen, he still carries me around skillfully just like Dad used to do.

When I asked him once, he said his body moved on its own. It was an interesting answer.

Anyway, as Dad said, today’s weather really wasn’t good.

The sky was full of dark clouds. So even though day had broken, it was very dark.

Sure enough, I thought I heard the rumbling sound of thunder…

Whoooosh!

It started raining.

We had to stop on our way, get an umbrella, and start again.

“Uncle would like this.”

“He probably wouldn’t like it much.”

“Why not?”

“Brother only likes the lightning he makes himself. He’s the type of person who’s only satisfied when he’s the strongest.”

I laughed softly.

“Was Uncle like that when he was young?”

Dad glanced at me and smiled slightly.

“He didn’t seem much different even after growing up.”

Dad was holding me while supporting a large umbrella with one hand.

I hesitated a little, then reached my hand toward Dad’s face.

“Um, Daughter?”

‘No fever though…’

Somehow Dad’s expression didn’t look good at all. It seemed like he was trying not to show it in front of me though.

To me, who had lived looking only at patients’ expressions, it was clearly visible.

“Are you uncomfortable because you can’t remember?”

“Well… At first I was bewildered. But I seem to have adapted in my own way. Not so much now.”

Actually, Dad’s illness was perfect for driving someone mad. Every time he lost his memory, it must have felt like the world was turning upside down.

Sometimes I wondered how he had endured it.

“If it’s not because of memory, is there something else bothering you? Your expression looks bad.”

Though she wasn’t saying anything, Mother, who was floating beside Dad’s opposite shoulder, also had a slightly troubled expression.

“Ah… Hmm. Can you see that too?”

Dad tilted his head, then made a slightly embarrassed expression. At times like this, I really felt that Dad had become younger.

It was an immaturity I couldn’t see in Dad normally.

Perhaps I was seeing something I wouldn’t have been able to see if I were an ordinary daughter, I consoled myself and smiled.

“I can tell because I’m only looking at Dad.”

Dad stared at me intently, then lowered his head and playfully bumped my head with his, laughing.

“How touching. But it wasn’t anything serious. Just… rainy days make me feel unpleasant somehow.”

“Unpleasant?”

Dad nodded slightly.

I recalled the past for a moment. Come to think of it, Dad would sometimes stare blankly outside on rainy days.

With a subtle expression. It was rejection sometimes, and sometimes displeasure.

Some days it was even sadness.

“Looking at rain makes me unpleasant. I wonder what happened to me?”

I hesitated, then shook my head. Dad’s emotional displays when looking at rain were always fleeting.

Since he seemed like he didn’t want to talk about it anymore, I didn’t ask either.

But I had some guesses.

Dad’s memories that I had glimpsed briefly.

“It seems like a lot of things happened…”

Dad’s expression became vacant.

“…Someone seems to have died. And an unwilling oath… Ugh.”

“Dad!”

I clung to Dad as he clutched his head.

“Don’t force yourself to remember, it’s okay!”

“But…”

“It’s okay. Everything’s okay.”

I hugged Dad’s neck and patted him. Then I made eye contact with Mother, who was floating behind Dad.

Mother’s expression was sunken. A face trying hard to smile. Then seeing me, she crumbled painfully.

– It was raining on the day I died too.

“…”

– And it seems Bihu has something more…

I bit my lips tightly.

“Whatever happened, it’s all okay. Only good things will happen from now on. Dad told me, didn’t he? Tomorrow might be even happier!”

“….”

The trembling subsided. Strong arms held me properly.

“No matter how much I’ve grown up… I can’t look pathetic in front of my younger daughter. I’m fine.”

“That doesn’t mean you should put on a brave front. Sniff.”

Dad laughed quietly.

“Then shall we go.”

We finally arrived at the Family Head’s Palace.

Unlike the times when it was always packed with people, only a very small number had gathered in the courtyard in front of the building.

Hei Haran kneeling and other criminals visible behind her.

A square prison surrounding the criminals. Inside it, Hei Haran and the criminals were kneeling.

The number of people standing was also modest.

The Hei Family’s direct descendants and their spouses. A very small number of the Family Head’s disciples.

And even the Family Head.

“….”

In a place where everyone was holding umbrellas, only the criminals were getting rained on. Hei Haran, with a malicious expression, looked haggard after just 3 days.

Seeing her constantly struggling with both hands tied behind her back, it seemed they had taken measures to prevent her from speaking.

“Hello.”

Someone approached my side. I could feel Dad becoming alert.

When I turned my head, I saw a face that seemed both strange and familiar.

A man in his twenties wearing glasses.

He was the son of my second aunt who had died long ago.

Since seeing him speak once when I clashed with Hei Haran at age 3, he was someone I’d rarely had occasion to talk with.

Since he was a nephew that Hei Haran particularly despised and also a warrior.

“Should I chase him away?”

Dad asked this. I hesitated and then shook my head.

Thinking he had gotten permission, Hei Yehun said one more thing.

“It’s strange enough to be greeting like this.”

When I said nothing with a wary expression, Hei Yehun smiled slightly.

When I saw him at age 3, I thought he had a cold impression. But looking at him like this, his impression was completely different from the vicious Hei Haran.

“You don’t need to be so wary, I just came to say hello…”

“We’re not on greeting terms.”

“That’s right. But I felt I should give my thanks.”

Thanks?

“Thank you for stopping my aunt… no, Hei Haran.”

I recalled the conversation between the Family Head and Hei Haran on the day she was captured.

‘Why didn’t you mobilize Yehun?’

‘If that kid had been there, wouldn’t he have been able to handle at least one of those crazily rampaging guys?’

Certainly, in the operation where all of Hei Haran’s elite forces were mobilized, this Cousin Brother was not present.

It was strange.

No matter how much Hei Haran cherished this person, she wasn’t someone who wouldn’t use her sharpest sword even when cornered.

“Thanks to that, I learned that all this time… I had been serving the person who killed Mother like my own mother.”

I hesitated.

From my conversation with the Family Head, I knew that Hei Haran had harmed her own brothers, Hei Rang and Hei Soha.

But she had harmed Second Aunt too? I heard those two were really close sisters?

Sensing my bewilderment, Hei Yehun made an understanding expression.

“The reason I didn’t participate in that final operation, well, there’s no need to explain that here.”

Hei Yehun smiled slightly. His expression looked somehow relieved.

…This person was someone who met his end along with Hei Haran’s demise both in the Original Work and in the third round.

‘Even though he was an enemy, he was such a devoted son who served Hei Haran terribly well that it was admirable…’

So I had never once thought of him as important.

“If it weren’t for you, I think I would never have learned the truth for my entire life, until I died.”

“I never did anything for your sake.”

“That’s right. But Hei Haran became anxious because of you, and thanks to that, all the truth was revealed. I wanted to thank you.”

Hei Yehun glanced at the rainy sky. Then he looked at me with a complicated expression for a moment.

“When I was young… I once saw your Father, that is, Fourth Uncle, kneeling. In front of Hei Haran. It was raining just like now that day too. The place was different, but it was your Father who knelt like a Criminal on the Cold Stone Floor.”

My eyes widened. Hei Yehun deliberately didn’t look at Dad and spoke only to me as if talking about someone else’s business.

“What are you saying now…”

“I know about Fourth Uncle’s condition too. And I saw everything Hei Haran did to your Father. Until the moment his condition reached its worst. I’m probably the only person left who can tell you this fact now.”

“…”

“Let’s talk after the trial is over.”

I couldn’t say anything as if my lips were sealed with honey. Hei Yehun seemed to understand my silence as agreement and nodded.

“And…”

After hesitating for a moment, he continued.

“Your Mother’s Remains, I’ll return them to you.”

It was the moment my eyes widened as if they would tear and my mouth fell open.

Before I could say anything, someone moved like Lightning toward Hei Yehun. My body shook roughly.

“Dad!”

Before I knew it, my body was floating gently in the Wind. Wasn’t Dad’s current Ability unusable? But there was no time to worry about that.

“Kuk, kkeuk!”

“…Say that again!”

Because Dad was gripping Hei Yehun’s throat.

Dad snarled fiercely.

“Whose… Remains?”
