The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 173

Dad’s eyes gleamed with madness and rage like those of a lunatic. A chill ran down my spine.

I remembered how 5 years ago, Sylvester, who was an Imperial Envoy and heir to the Buke Family, had lost his mind when the topic of remains came up.

I thought I couldn’t leave him like this.

“Ah, Dad! Dad! I’m falling, I’m falling!”

I flailed wildly in the air. As if I would really fall.

“Dad!!”

When I squeezed my eyes shut and cried out, a gentle breeze blew. It was a soft wind, not fierce.

When I came to my senses, I was back in Dad’s arms.

‘Is he not completely in his right mind?’

Dad’s eyes were still gleaming like those of a beast.

Moreover, he was only holding me with one hand while his other hand was still gripping Hei Yehun’s throat.

I suppose I should be thankful that at least he wasn’t choking him breathless like before.

The Family Head and other Direct Descendants are here too! Fortunately, we were at the door entrance, and it was raining so the commotion didn’t escalate.

“Cough! No… suddenly like this… no, I understand.”

“…Shut up.”

I carefully reached out and grabbed Dad’s arm.

“Dad, don’t do that…”

I glanced to the side. Mother was floating right next to me, not knowing what to do.

A very worried expression. When our eyes met, Mother shook her head.

I lowered my voice.

“Mother says not to…”

“…”

“And I also wish Dad wouldn’t do that…”

The moment I said this, the strength slowly drained from Dad’s hand. Hei Yehun, now completely free, coughed and stepped back.

Since he had long since dropped his umbrella, both Hei Yehun and Dad were soaked in the rain.

Should I say it’s amazing that Dad made sure only I didn’t get wet in the rain during all this…

‘Dad definitely can’t accept Mother’s death subconsciously.’

Considering how he lost his mind at the mention of remains 5 years ago too.

The more I thought about it, the more pitiful it seemed. He can see Mother’s ghost with his eyes but still can’t believe in her death.

It means he loved her that much.

I turned my head.

“Thank you.”

Hei Yehun, who had been coughing, stared at me. His glasses had fallen off when his throat was grabbed, so his face was bare.

That face resembled both the Family Head and Uncle.

“I was already planning to somehow catch and kill Hei Haran to get them back anyway. You smuggled them out before Hei Haran could dispose of them, right?”

Mother’s remains are only half buried near the tree by Dad’s dwelling. The other half was stolen by Hei Haran.

That must have been Dad’s resentment.

And there’s no way Hei Haran, cornered as she was, wouldn’t have thought of this.

Moreover, if she thought everything was over and decided to burn bridges with the Eight Families?

Mother’s remains were… coldly speaking, bait that could lure Dad out, or drive him mad.

Hei Yehun had stolen away his reverse scale.

“…I received something too. So there’s no need to be grateful.”

Hei Yehun picked up his glasses from the floor and put them back on.

“And I’m not bothered since I anticipated this kind of situation.”

Hei Yehun smiled faintly with his reddened neck and pale face.

“I attended this place today as a witness.”

“…”

He was saying he would become a whistleblower.

“Even looking like that, she was a kind person to me. I only hate her because I learned that kindness was deception.”

I had nothing to say and remained silent.

“See you at the trial. And after the trial too.”

I just nodded.

Hei Yehun picked up the fallen umbrella and walked toward the Family Head’s Palace first.

I watched his retreating figure for a while before shifting my gaze.

“Dad… are you okay?”

I carefully looked at Dad. Dad showed me a bitter smile.

“I’m fine. What wouldn’t be fine? I showed an unsightly display.”

Dad patted my head. Then he belatedly realized his hand was wet from the rain and made a flustered expression.

I let out a small laugh, “Puhup.”

– Bihu, are you okay?

Mother also revealed herself before Dad. Dad gazed at Mother with sad eyes for a moment, then nodded.

Then Dad briefly looked up and stared at the sky.

Swoosh.

The rain was still falling heavily. In the heavy and gloomy air, Dad muttered.

“Somehow, it feels like something unpleasant might surface.”

A little later, our family of three also moved locations. To where the trial would be held.

“Everyone has gathered, so we’ll begin.”

A trial conducted with a very small number of people.

This was also the Family Head’s will.

“Let me make it clear beforehand – there will absolutely be no clearing the criminal’s grievances or arguments in this place today.”

“…”

“This is merely a place to record in detail and judge the crimes of the main culprit of rebellion before us, the traitor of our family.”

The Family Head’s sharp voice rang out clearly through the sound of rain.

“Anyone with objections, step forward now.”

No one could possibly step forward.

I could feel Uncle and Uncle, who had arrived early, watching me. Ayan couldn’t come because she was too young.

Brother Gyewon was in attendance, standing with dignity.

Third Aunt Hei Gyera had a face full of dissatisfaction, but on the other hand, she was pale with fear.

Her husband Bae Seonghyeon was similar.

‘Third Aunt also can’t completely escape suspicion of colluding with the Eight Families, so she must be terrified right now.’

“After arresting and confining the traitor Hei Haran, countless tips and confessions in the name of conscience poured in for three days.”

Hei Haran, who had been hanging her head as if exhausted, suddenly jerked it up.

She was already completely soaked from the rain. The Family Head was covering her eyes with cloth again.

She faced Hei Haran directly.

“The vicious conspiracy of the criminal Hei Haran began as much as over ten years ago. First, poisoning Hei Rang, who was the eldest son of the Hei Family Estate.”

“….”

“According to the tip, my first son thought it was the first tea his beloved little sister was giving him, drank it, and died suddenly that dawn.”

Uncle Hei Biwon, who was next to me, ground his teeth.

According to Mother, my first Uncle ‘Hei Rang’, whose face I never knew, was a generous person.

He was particularly close to Hei Biwon.

“The crime of bringing that corpse and disguising it as an accident.”

“….”

“What about my second child, Hei Soha? Thinking he would be harmful to the successor position if left alone, she took his beloved puppy hostage, kidnapped him, and pushed him off a cliff. She destroyed all clues and evidence to ensure he would remain missing forever.”

“…!”

Hei Haran struggled frantically. However, no one was paying attention to her silent protests.

“Next, a witness will reveal it directly. Come forward.”

Hei Yehun stepped forward. Hei Haran’s eyes widened as if they would tear when she saw Hei Yehun.

“I swear on all my abilities as a mage that I will speak only the truth in this place.”

It’s known that breaking an oath as a witness results in losing all abilities and becoming a cripple. Hei Yehun calmly stated what he had also told me.

“Hei Haran also murdered my mother Hei Hyeran. The motive was… a crime of passion.”

Hei Yehun calmly reported only the facts. The man Hei Haran loved had fallen deeply for her little sister Hei Hyeran, even married her.

And eventually killed her little sister, then raised him like her own son.

Really… it was a complete mess.

Hei Haran couldn’t bear it and crawled forward, banging her head against the prison bars.

“The charges of assassinating brothers and sisters are about that much. Next is the crime of daring to collude with external enemies…”

“Wait.”

Someone raised their hand. I opened my eyes wide. It was Dad who had raised his hand and spoken.

“Although he didn’t die, there’s one more crime, so may I speak?”

“Hei Bihu.”

“Yes. Mother’s son here also almost died. Please give me the right to speak.”

The Family Head permitted Dad’s statement. Without realizing it, I grabbed Dad’s sleeve.

Dad looked at me and smiled slightly.

“Dad… do you remember?”

“It seems I really hated rain terribly. Yes, something came back to me.”

Why was that? Even though I felt like I shouldn’t let Dad go, Dad hugged me, handed me over to Uncle, and walked away with light steps.

I struggled in Uncle’s arms.

Then I soon realized what this ominous feeling was.

“Family Head.”

It wasn’t a premonition that I shouldn’t let Dad go.

“I swear on all my abilities as a warrior and mage.”

It was a premonition that the words about to flow out would hurt me very much.

“The reason I became irreparably broken was because of that woman.”

I stared blankly at Dad’s back.

“Hei Haran held my daughter’s life hostage and made me consume poison that destroys the brain.”
