The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 180

“Huh, w-why is this happening? Ahaha. How ridiculous…”

I wiped away my tears with one hand while laughing awkwardly.

“It’s a happy occasion, so why are tears flowing? Strangely foolish… haha…”

I forcefully wiped away the tears. As I tried to wipe them again, my hand was caught.

Through my blurred vision, I caught sight of Mother’s face. Mother’s pretty face wavering back and forth.

Mother was crying just like me.

– It’s okay.

“…”

– It’s okay, baby.

Mother gently caressed my cheek. I stared blankly as my tears were wiped away by Mother’s hand.

– You’re not foolish at all.

At those words, tears burst forth as if a latch in my chest had been released. Just like how you cry more when someone tells you not to cry to comfort you.

Since I hadn’t cried much throughout my life, it was something I’d only heard about, but now I experienced it firsthand.

I thought crying when I met Mother would be enough, but apparently it wasn’t.

Though I couldn’t tell others, I had desires too.

Mother was right here beside me, so why couldn’t I touch her? When I received praise, I wanted to be patted.

I wanted to be held, even just once.

“Biyu.”

I heard a warm voice. When I turned my head, Raon, who had been holding my hand, was smiling prettily.

Perhaps influenced by us, even while smiling, her eyes were brimming with tears. At the same time, she looked affectionate.

I felt it while hearing about your past today. You must have been in a lot of pain too, yet how did you think to give to me and help me even in this moment?

That’s when it happened.

“You can let go of my hand now.”

“Huh?”

Raon let go of my hand first.

While I was going “uh, uh” with tears hanging from my eyes, Raon gently pushed me.

“Hehe. It’ll be okay. Go on.”

At those words, I moved my body without realizing it. I buried my body toward Mother who was right in front of me.

Poof!

It was real. I could feel Mother’s touch. I could truly feel that I was being held.

“Sob…”

Like with her hands, it felt a bit cold or cool. But it was okay.

To me, it was more comforting than anything else in the world.

“Sniff, M-Mother…”

Mother’s arms held me tightly.

– Yes, our Biyu.

Only then did I feel something fundamental that had been missing from the very distant past finally being filled.

Once when I met Dad and sincerely called him Dad.

And the moment I met Mother.

Finally, once more at this moment.

The void was being filled.

“Waaaaah, M-Mother!”

I ended up crying like a little child. It wasn’t as heartbreaking as when Dad testified at the trial, but it felt like I was letting everything go and feeling relieved.

I have a mother too, and a father.

I wanted to snap back at those who had once childishly mocked me for being an orphan.

How long had I cried?

I had only stopped crying but still had tears hanging from my eyes as I suddenly lifted my head from Mother’s embrace.

Raon was still standing beside me. Blankly. But with a strange expression.

I reached out my hand without hesitation.

“Uh… Biyu?”

“You come here too.”

“Uh…”

I pulled Raon into a tight hug.

“You’re also a precious person to me.”

“…”

“Thank you, Raon. Really…”

When I lifted my head slightly, I could see Raon with a reddened nose. It was a bit awkward given the atmosphere, but he looked like a cute baby Rudolf.

Maybe I thought of winter because he was snow-white and pretty.

But winter with Raon would always be warm.

I was able to smile brightly with tears in my eyes.

“Raon must have had a hard time too. If Mother had been here, she would surely say this.”

– That you’re truly admirable.

Mother continued my words. I was briefly surprised by Mother’s words, then nodded as if agreeing with them.

Mother embraced both me and Raon. I felt the greatest warmth within a body temperature that wasn’t human.

I looked at Raon and whispered softly.

“Still, we’re only going to be happy from now on, right?”

Raon, who had been looking at me with reddened eyes, slowly nodded.

Unlike usual, his always pretty smile and gentle face had disappeared, but it wasn’t strange.

Raon, who had been fidgeting with his hands, gently leaned against me.

A shy voice reached my ear.

“Biyu… I like you…”

Those words were so very quiet that for a moment I wondered if I had misheard.

We held each other tightly for a long time.

Until the tears that weren’t of sadness, everyone’s tears, subsided.

* * *

A moment later.

I called Dad to this place.

And I asked Raon to do the same thing for Dad. Now Dad could also touch Mother.

“Ah…”

Dad was surprised at first, then his eyes quickly reddened.

After the trial ended, Dad was still in his sixteen-year-old self, but his memories had returned due to the rain, leaving him in an unstable state.

I ended up seeing Dad cry.

“Raon, let’s go.”

“Okay…”

We decided to give them some time alone together. They probably had so very much to talk about.

‘I didn’t know Raon could extend the distance she could be away from Mother too.’

The more I thought about it, the more amazing it was.

No, finding clues about Raon in the shrine where Mother was staying was truly a stroke of divine fortune.

‘Even if that hadn’t happened, Mother would have definitely recognized Raon when she saw her.’

What was that saying about justice prevailing?

I felt good seeing so many things progressing in the right direction.

The place I took Raon to was the pond near Father’s Residence.

“This is where I first met Dad.”

The place I had gone to find Dad.

I looked at the tree with longing.

Dad had been so fierce on the first day I saw him. Even that was a memory now.

Thinking about Mother’s remains buried under this tree also made my heart ache.

‘I need to hurry and get the rest of the remains from Hei Yehun.’

“Biyu.”

I turned my head. I could see Raon, whose eyes were red from crying earlier.

I probably looked similar.

“I have something to tell you.”

“Huh? To me?”

Hadn’t we already talked about many things through the conversation with Mother? Was there still more to say?

“I know what I am now.”

“Yeah. I heard it together with you earlier. The Divine Maiden’s Clan.”

“They’re called ‘Maegu.'”

“Maegu?”

“Yeah.”

“They’re also called nine-tailed foxes.”

I had suspected it, but I was slightly surprised that it was exactly as I had thought. Hadn’t Raon’s tail count increased from three as she grew?

“Our clan’s ability is… the power to steal or enhance the abilities of sorcerers who can use special powers by receiving the Eastern Dragon’s power.”

“Ah, so that’s why?”

“Yeah. It seems like it could enhance Biyu’s power too. I don’t know why, but it could also enhance my ghostly mother’s power.”

My curiosity surged.

“So you know, as you grow up, do you grow one tail at a time?”

Raon hesitated for a moment, then carefully nodded his head. He seemed to be gauging my reaction.

“Yeah, probably. Mother said so… but honestly, I’m not really sure. It still doesn’t feel real yet.”

“Wow, that’s so cool!”

His tail that was already swaying gently had always been cute and adorable. As Raon grows, it’ll get even bigger, so wouldn’t that be amazing then?

“As I thought, you don’t call me a monster…”

“Huh? What did you say?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

Raon seemed pleased as his cheeks flushed red. He had looked cautious when talking about his tail, but now he looked happy.

Raon fidgeted with his fingers.

“You know, Biyu, we’re a little special…”

“Yeah!”

“When we’re fully grown, we can apparently make something called a ‘Fox Orb’. I heard it from Mother…”

A Fox Orb? Just hearing about it sounded amazing. It was also fascinating that Raon still had mysterious secrets left.

Raon stared at me intently and turned even redder.

“And… if you have this, you can propose marriage…”
