The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 174

* * *

It was a rainy day.

Whoooosh!

It was truly a day of relentless downpour. Even though it was clearly daytime, it was so dark and overcast that one might think it was night.

Under the dark clouds that spread like darkness itself.

Hei Bihu was kneeling on the stone floor like a criminal. The rain struck and soaked him like a whip.

The one standing on the steps.

His sister, Hei Haran, was sneering at him.

“Do you understand?”

The expression of a victor was evident on her face as she held her umbrella. How long had she waited for this day.

“The condition is that you must never leave your house, your residence. Perhaps… you’ll even forget this. But still, try to remember.”

In the vast space, there were only him and Hei Haran. This was because Hei Haran had dismissed everyone else.

Hei Haran didn’t hide her eyes filled with ecstasy as she looked at Hei Bihu kneeling before her.

It was something she had desperately wished for.

Usually, she couldn’t stand that little brother of hers. Even though he was a thorn in her side, he had no weaknesses, tremendous martial power, and was someone who couldn’t be eliminated like she had done to Hei Rang and Hei Soha.

No. The reason Hei Bihu was so irritating wasn’t because of this. It was Baek Arin, whom that bastard had taken as his spouse.

The one called Uiseon.

That damned bitch had stolen away all of her fame…! A mere quack doctor who didn’t even bear the Hei Family name!

So she had acted ruthlessly without hesitation.

The day she learned that Baek Arin had fallen ill, she tried to kill her by any means necessary.

Even when the couple fled outside the Hei Family Territory, she sent pursuit teams.

Manipulating the Family Head was all too easy. She was just an old woman who knew nothing but the Hei Family.

Hei Haran was that anxious.

‘There’s someone called Uiseon outside, isn’t there? Do you know much about this person?’

‘…Well, Mother.’

‘Tsk, you don’t even know such things? Even though this person is to become your little brother’s lover?’

‘…’

From some point on, the Family Head kept mentioning Baek Arin’s existence. Even more so after learning she was Hei Bihu’s lover.

When the two eventually married despite her opposition, her anxiety amplified even further.

It seemed like the Family Head would give Baek Arin a position if she had the ability. Not just a simple physician position.

Even the Family Head position!

That couldn’t happen.

If it doesn’t come into my hands, I’ll make sure no one else’s hands can touch it either.

And with perfect timing, Uiseon fell ill and died on her own!

Her pursuit had made Baek Arin even more frail. I even felt a thrill at this fact.

Now next was my Little Brother Hei Bihu, who had been a thorn in my side.

Hei Haran had uncannily recognized the resentment directed at me. And there was no way Hei Bihu would leave me alone after I tormented his Wife to death.

So she secured my Little Brother’s young Daughter. The Baby wrapped in Swaddling Clothes.

“…Where is My Daughter.”

Fortunately, since Hei Bihu was in a sickly state, she could snatch her away at the right timing.

Looking at Hei Bihu soaked in rain, Hei Haran lifted her red lips.

‘Useless bastard until the very end…’

Though she was smiling, Hei Haran felt a slight sense of crisis.

Baek Arin. That remarkable Woman had discovered a clue to Hei Bihu’s incurable disease that she had guaranteed no one could treat.

She had improved his condition slightly. Perhaps if he consistently took the Medicine Baek Arin left behind before dying, he might be able to live like a normal person.

But that wasn’t what Hei Haran wanted. If he recovered completely, he would harm me first, so how could I just leave him be?

So using his Daughter as a hostage, she first completely erased the Medicine and traces that Baek Arin had left behind.

The Father who came begging to save his Daughter knelt before the detestable enemy who had caused his Wife’s early death.

“…Haha. Where would she be? Wouldn’t she be in my hands?”

Hei Haran chuckled softly and threw something in front of Hei Bihu. A small Pouch tumbled down the Steps and landed before him.

“Her name is Hei Biyu, you said? What a fine name you chose.”

After a long silence, Hei Bihu calmly accepted the humiliation and bowed his head deeply.

“…Please spare the Child at least.”

Hei Haran’s lips twisted viciously as if amused.

“What will you wager?”

“My life, I will wager.”

Hei Bihu must be ruined beyond repair. Forever.

So that he could never take Revenge on her.

There must be no future troubles.

“If you want to save your Daughter.”

“…”

“Eat that.”

Hei Haran had been more versed in Poison than Medicine since childhood. Her Ability in that area was unmatched.

But whether it was due to her disposition or lack of various talents, her talent as a Physician never reached greatness.

“Our Family Estate came from the Eastern Continent, you know. The Manufacturing methods passed down through generations, the mysterious tools that only the Family Head and direct lineage can use. Our Sorcery all came from the Eastern Continent too. It’s not just this.”

Pleasure settled in Hei Haran’s cheerful voice.

While searching for all sorts of shortcuts to improve her skills, she had discovered one thing.

What came over from the Eastern Continent wasn’t just Medicine. Weren’t Medicine and Poison said to be one body?

A Poison Manufacturing Method passed down from ancient times. She had obtained the vicious Manufacturing method that scrambled the brain so thoroughly that even Detoxification was impossible.

To be precise, it was a Poison mixed with Sorcery that turned people into idiots and made even the wise become dim-witted.

Most importantly, it even had the advantage of worsening symptoms in those who already had brain-related diseases, making it impossible for anyone to treat them!

In other words, it completely destroyed the brain, eliminating even the possibility of improvement. Even if they recovered miraculously, it would be the same. It would remain in the body and continue to destroy the brain.

The box that Hei Haran happened to find in the attic-like place contained just enough ingredients for one manufacturing attempt.

A poison like a curse!

Even if the manufacturer dies, there’s no escape from it!

Without hesitation, Hei Haran decided to feed this poison to the one who would become her greatest enemy in life.

Even she, who prided herself on being the continent’s best with poison, wouldn’t be able to detoxify it. Not only that? It would make her little brother’s illness even worse!

She didn’t care about her little brother’s life being ruined.

“You can never go see your daughter first. I will whisper through others. That your father abandoned you.”

“….”

“Will your daughter even come to see you?”

“….”

Hei Haran smiled.

“If you’re fine with your daughter dying, then you don’t have to take it.”

“….”

When all words were finished.

Hei Bihu opened the pouch without a moment’s hesitation. Holding the poison in his hand, he gazed at his sister—no, his mortal enemy—with clear eyes.

“Swear it.”

At those unwavering eyes, Hei Haran’s face contorted. Soon a cruel sneer appeared.

“Yes, let’s do it.”

Thus Hei Bihu’s brain was irreversibly damaged. He chose to be trapped in an incurable chain of memory loss, in a labyrinth.

For just one person.

To save his daughter.

* * *

“…That is how it was.”

Hei Bihu, who had calmly stated all the facts, briefly turned his head.

“All the oaths I made with Hei Haran had the condition that unless my daughter came to find me directly, I could do nothing on my own.”

The Family Head had a calm expression. However, Hei Bihu could see it in her eyes.

‘Is that anger?’

Her cheek was trembling slightly.

“And since this is an oath carved into the soul, Hei Haran must have foreseen that even if I forgot about this someday, I would be bound by the oath and unable to do anything.”

Hei Bihu looked down at his hands.

He had taken the poison directly.

Even in the moment he was painfully deteriorating from the poison, he had no regrets.

What is love?

Hei Bihu could now say it.

My daughter.

Biyu.

Even the time I stayed without going anywhere for you was love for you….

Hei Bihu was a little afraid.

His current state was neither the sixteen-year-old Hei Bihu, nor the Hei Bihu who had regained all his memories.

In this state, he became afraid of seeing Biyu, and his wife who would be somewhere.

Nevertheless, Hei Bihu turned his gaze.

And the small child in Elder Brother’s arms, the daughter who was the apple of his eye.

Even in the rain, he could see clearly.

His daughter’s appearance, completely disheveled from crying. She was a child who rarely cried like this.

He was afraid that resentment might be seeping into those eyes. But.

“Daddy…! Waaahhh.”

There was nothing of the sort.

The child was reaching out her arms toward him, desperately searching for him.

…Hei Bihu didn’t know what kind of expression he should make at a time like this.
