The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 184

Fortunately, there was a fire for brewing medicinal herbs right next to us. When I nodded, Dad threw it into the fire.

The letter of rejection burned without hesitation. I sent all my memories flying away with the scattering ashes, leaving nothing behind.

Though I’m grateful to you for some things, I won’t remember or think of you anymore.

It had been truly a long time since I spoke my friend’s name.

Shaman.

This is the price for how you acted, so you won’t feel wronged, right?

We’re no longer connected now.

‘He won’t even remember me in this life anyway.’

I don’t want to be involved anymore either.

The ashes flew away in the wind.

A few days later.

The Family Head summoned me.

“Did you call for me, Grandmother?”

I had been busy day and night discussing Dad’s illness with Mother lately. This wasn’t a welcome summons.

‘Why is someone who should be busy preparing for war calling me?’

After sitting there sulking for a while.

The Family Head said something rather shocking.

“When the war ends, I want to gradually step back and return to being a physician.”

“…What?”

What did I just hear?

I blinked my eyes wide.

‘What did this person who identifies herself with the family just say?’

Step back voluntarily?

“Staying in this position for unnecessarily long… I feel like my abilities as a physician have actually regressed. I want to go back and research again, improve my skills.”

“…Oh, I see.”

I couldn’t stay silent any longer, so I answered in a daze.

Couldn’t that research be done while remaining Family Head? You went into seclusion because you couldn’t treat the Emperor… Even I couldn’t bring myself to say this.

There was no need to poke at a sore spot when the Family Head hadn’t done anything wrong right now.

Wait a moment.

Saying she wants to step back…

I belatedly realized the implication behind her words and quickly raised my head.

Sure enough, the Family Head—no, Grandmother—who wasn’t covering her eyes today, was slightly curving the corners of her eyes.

“I’ll give you 8 years. That should be enough, right?”

“…What?”

“You will come of age.”

I closed my mouth.

“When you come of age in 8 years, inherit the position of Family Head, no. Take it.”

The Family Head turned her gaze toward the window where the wind was blowing, still holding her tea cup. The window that was always open whenever we met.

The vast estate could be seen at a glance.

“Until then, this old woman intends to clear away the obstacles.”

The Family Head seemed to be looking even further into the distance.

It seemed like she was referring to war.

“How about it.”

I widened my eyes briefly, then soon chuckled.

Honestly, I wanted to refuse, but the Elder before me looked even older than when I had seen her last time.

Like someone who had decided to carry a burden for a very long time. Like a prisoner who had only now realized the weight of their sins.

On the other hand, she was so stubborn that no one could break her resolve.

Isn’t this completely predetermined?

I laughed for a moment, then opened my mouth.

A more cheerful answer than expected flowed out.

“Alright, then.”

She’s saying she’ll clear away the Eight Families while I grow up, so I’m grateful.

Those Guys were already thorns in my side anyway.

“Good.”

Following Grandmother’s gaze, I also turned toward the window.

“I’m looking forward to 8 years from now.”

It was an incredibly blue sky.

The sky that Criminals like Hei Haran, the countless Eight Families who haven’t been punished yet, and even the Imperial Family would be looking at.

My eyes darkened.

Days filled with hope and revenge would unfold ahead.

Since I was no longer alone, it wasn’t despairing, difficult, or hard.

“Yes.”

Wrapping my hands around the warm tea cup, I smiled softly.

“I’m looking forward to it too.”

The day when Dad will become healthy.

The day when I’ll see that Crown Prince’s face.

It was a sunny day, no different from any other.

I simply steeled my resolve in the wind.

– End of Chapter 2.

Chapter 3. Final Chapter

The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 184

—8 years later.

It was between autumn and winter.

The weather was filled with cool air that seemed to bring cold at any moment, yet unlike the temperature, the sky was nothing but clear.

As if it didn’t reflect the current desperate situation.

“Must you… really go?”

A man kneeling on the cold stone path pleaded desperately.

“Young Master!!”

The burly knight bowed his head so low that his large frame seemed infinitely small. Not satisfied with this, he banged his head against the floor with loud thuds.

“Please, please reconsider…! Your father, no, the Family Head would have opposed this if he were still alive!”

Blood flowed, but if he could just hold back his master before him, this much didn’t matter!

“…”

However, the one who was the knight’s master, the young man, only looked down at his subordinate indifferently.

“Just get up.”

A cold, heartless voice dropped down curtly.

Even when the knight didn’t get up, the young man only spoke indifferently.

“Whether you kneel, cut off your limbs, or kill yourself, I’m going.”

“…!”

“It doesn’t matter what you do.”

The knight slowly raised his head.

His name was Benton.

He was one who served his master with utmost loyalty.

However, even with his loyalty, even with his stubbornness. With nothing at all could he stop his master who had made his decision.

Benton wasn’t the only one kneeling.

“Sniff… sob. Sob sob.”

“Sob… Y-Young Master…”

All around were filled with people kneeling or bowing, refusing to get up.

Only the master remained standing.

Everyone was filled with despair.

And for good reason…

Their master didn’t have many days left to live.

Benton clenched his fists tightly.

‘If only I could have brought a physician in time…!’

Then he recalls the most outstanding physician he had ever seen 8 years ago, superior to anyone he had encountered since. Though she was a small eight-year-old child, she had seemed like a giant.

Since that day, he had seen countless physicians—easily hundreds, even thousands—but none could compare to that one child.

However, that was the last time he could see the child. It was only natural.

The Hei Family had declared war.

“Everyone take care of yourselves.”

Benton slowly raised his gaze.

Tall stature, though lean and on the thin side, but if he had more flesh, it would have been the solid frame that his ancestors had hoped for.

The one wearing the uniform had eyes like those of a wild beast.

The young man slowly lifted his gaze. The azure sky. His vision blurred as it painted a single picture.

‘Seriously, take your medicine, okay? Stop making me worry. You damn fool.’

‘Oh no, if curses sound sweet to me, that’s trouble. Am I falling for her?’

‘Again, such nonsense…!’

‘That means you like it.’

No, for the past few years. Perhaps for nearly 10 years, she had appeared in his dreams without fail.

Some days she was a girl, other days she appeared as an adult similar to his current age.

‘…Don’t go. Please.’

‘…’

‘Shaman, hey, *sob*, can’t you not go? I’ll forget today. You… I’ve never *cough*, betrayed you…’

During the time he suffered from his illness, dreams became the young boy’s, the young man’s only refuge.

Then recently, the dreams came to an end. It was quite tragic. So much so that when he opened his eyes, it felt like reality.

The young man, having returned to reality, coughed violently.

“*Cough*!”

Those who were prostrating or bowing their heads didn’t know what to do.

Drip.

Red blood was visible. The young man looked down at the blood on his hand and wiped it away nonchalantly.

With one cough, his complexion became pale as he turned his head.

“Everyone, just go anywhere.”

His long red hair fluttered in the autumn wind that was beginning to carry winter’s breath.

“Please stop caring whether I live or die. Understand?”

Their master, the Young Master of Wolfsbane, turned his back.

Everyone thought that this sight might be the last they would see of the Young Master.

“Young Master, where exactly are you going? At least tell us your destination!”

Benton stood up and barely managed to catch the departing young man. The young man turned his head as if annoyed and casually unbuttoned his clothes.

“The Eastern Empire.”

Beneath the uniform he had thrown off, comfortable clothing was visible. Like someone who had decided to leave.

“I’m going to abandon everything and see the person I want to see one last time.”

“What?”

“I said there’s someone I want to see.”

Young man.

Shaman slowly turned his head.

“I absolutely have to see her.”
