The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 182

The young boy’s eyes curved, and he flashed a smile prettier than flowers.

“That’s how we could become friends.”

A smile that could only be called truly fox-like.

“…Huh?”

* * *

A moment later.

In the spot where Biyu had disappeared, making excuses about medicinal materials after stuttering.

Raon wiggled the hand that had held Biyu’s hand.

A peach blossom-like blush bloomed on the child’s snow-white cheeks.

“Biyu…”

Raon was extremely pleased with the name Biyu had given him.

Though the Emperor had given him a name, he would live forgetting all about that.

That’s how much he liked Biyu.

This feeling would never change in the future. This was said to be the fate and characteristic of his clan.

Once they fell in love, they couldn’t change the object of their affection. That’s why his mother worried about Raon until the moment she died.

Because the price mother and child paid for loving the Emperor was too great.

Fox Orb.

He hadn’t given Biyu a detailed explanation. But according to what he heard from his mother, his clan could create Fox Orbs once they reached a certain age.

And if they shared this orb with their companion, they could share lifespans or grant their companion’s wishes.

Actually, Raon hadn’t told anyone, but…

‘Flames…’

From one day, he began to see small flames in people’s chests.

He didn’t know the reason.

Since he had to concentrate to see them, they didn’t interfere with daily life.

He learned what this was before long.

‘…He passed away. His old age was already severe.’

The day the patient Biyu was caring for died. Just before that, he saw the flame in the patient’s chest go out.

It had originally been a faint flame like a candle. People like Hei Birang and Hei Biwon had strong and vigorous flame vitality.

Before long, Raon realized.

‘This is human energy, more precisely something close to lifespan.’

And Raon soon learned a sad fact.

‘Biyu…?’

Biyu’s flame was far too small and fragile compared to others.

Raon already liked Biyu by then. He absolutely didn’t want Biyu to die early.

Fortunately, Raon’s other half was from a special clan, and around this time he also recalled what he had heard about fox orbs.

If he shared this orb, Biyu could live for a very long time.

He had a long lifespan thanks to his other half’s blood, and Biyu would share in his lifespan.

A fox orb cannot be created all at once.

It would take several years to complete, so it was better not to mention it now.

So, once a little time passes… then he would definitely tell her.

‘Biyu, I like you so much…’

‘Yes, I like you too.’

I like you so, so much.

This is my love.

Raon smiled shyly.

Biyu, you’re already my whole world.

– Baby, why are you so spaced out?

I was startled by Mother’s voice from beside me.

“Huh? What? What?”

Mother was making a worried expression.

– It’s fine to crush the medicinal herbs, but you look too spaced out.

At those words, I looked down at my hands.

Indeed, plant juice was flowing from the crushed herbs in my hands. My face turned bright red.

– Your face has been red for a while too, are you sick somewhere?

Mother’s hand gently touched my forehead. It was still an unfamiliar sensation, but I was so happy that we could touch each other.

I grinned widely.

“No, not at all. I’m a physician, wouldn’t I know my own condition?”

– Didn’t you say that a monk can’t shave his own head?

“…”

I cleared my throat awkwardly.

Along with that, I thought of Raon’s face, my benefactor who made it possible for Mother and me to touch like this.

The back of my neck felt a little tingly for no reason.

‘Why did he say such things?’

I know.

Raon is still young. Even though my body is young, I’m already living my fourth life, aren’t I?

So I should be the one to exercise discretion. But ever since that day, Raon’s face keeps floating in the air, making me feel excited and strange.

I keep spacing out and blushing. It wasn’t strange that Mother was worried.

Ever since that day when Raon helped Dad and Mother touch each other.

The two of them seemed to have shared many conversations. It seemed like they did more than just talk, though.

Since it was between the two of them, I didn’t ask for details. Even as their daughter, there are things I should respect.

However, I could feel even greater affection and warmth toward each other in the way Mother and Dad looked at one another.

It was also fascinating.

‘Will someone like that appear for me too?’

When I think about this, snow-white hair naturally comes to mind, making me quickly shake my head.

‘I need to conduct myself better as the more mature one(?). Yes.’

“Mother, you can talk about it today.”

I erased my dazed expression and spoke brightly.

Mother, who had been blinking for a moment, smiled softly.

– Shall we?

I had even introduced Raon.

There was only one conversation left between us mother and daughter.

Namely, the story of Dad’s illness.

Currently, I was sitting on the wooden floor of Dad’s house, preparing medicinal herbs. I could see the giant tree in the distance.

Dad had stepped away for a moment, saying he would take a walk, perhaps out of consideration for us.

Mother settled down beside me. She seemed to be looking at the tree as well.

Perhaps now she knows that her remains are buried there?

She would have heard it from Dad.

‘I want to tell her that Dad cried thinking about Mother too.’

I should tease him about that when Dad is around. I suppressed a small laugh, while slightly pushing down the complex feelings I felt whenever I saw that distant tree.

– Actually, until I died, I was researching your father Bihu’s disease.

I nodded.

Mother’s medicine had come up in Dad’s testimony as well.

– Your father… would have gotten better if he had just consistently taken the final medicine I made.

And there was Hei Haran, who prevented him from taking Mother’s medicine, thus preventing Dad’s condition from improving.

Dad had consumed poison and became damaged beyond repair. After that, he met me.

– Though I couldn’t cure him either… I did my best… but the timing was missed.

It was a sad voice.

– I truly did my best for you and Bihu who would be left behind, but it became useless…

I hesitated, then took Mother’s hand. Mother smiled softly.

This was no longer the time to cry.

It was a shared thought between Mother and me.

– Since he consumed poison, it will mean starting over from the beginning.

“Yes, I know.”

Mother said it would be difficult to make a diagnosis since she wasn’t among the living. She said it was uncertain whether she could do it as accurately as when she was alive.

So we decided that I would make the diagnosis.

– I’ll share everything I researched. I heard my medical journal is already with you, dear.

“Yes…”

I tightly grasped Mother’s hand, remembering the day Dad gave me the medical journal.

I hesitated for a moment. I stared blankly at the wooden floor before slowly raising my gaze.

For Dad’s treatment, I also had something to tell Mother. No, there was a fact I needed to share.

“Actually, I… can identify people’s incurable diseases.”

Regular physicians can also know such things.

But my ability, which grows as I research and treat more diseases, boasts vast data.

Due to the special nature of my ability, the precision of my diagnosis is on another level.

‘To explain properly, I’d need to reveal the facts about regression and my fourth life, but even without revealing that, Mother will understand.’

I calmly explained this ability.

“Now there’s no disease I can’t treat, yet there are still incurable diseases in the world. Dad was like that. I always wondered why even medicine wouldn’t show up, but now I understand.”

– ….

“It was because he had consumed poison.”

Should I talk about lifespan here?

…Mother will surely be heartbroken.

But I have to do it. We need to treat Dad.

“I can treat these incurable diseases… by using lifespan.”

Mother’s eyes widened.

I smiled bitterly and gently added.

“Dad’s condition improving to its current state is thanks to my lifespan.”
