The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 189

I blinked my eyes wide.

It was a pretty face I saw every day, but I rarely had the chance to see it this close up. Maybe when we used to sleep cuddled together in childhood.

Of course, even that disappeared after Raon grew up a little.

Besides, wasn’t he younger than he is now back then?

Long eyelashes visible up close. Clear eyes that didn’t blink even once and mysterious pupils.

I blinked several more times before reaching out my hand.

Poke.

My finger touched Raon’s cheek. Raon flinched.

“Didn’t I treat you well?”

“…Huh?”

“I don’t think there was ever a time when I didn’t treat Raon well.”

Our eyes met at close range with Raon. His golden pupils wavered.

“So were you upset?”

At my tender voice, Raon looked like he might cry for just a moment, then let out a breath.

Strangely, everything that came from this child had a fragrance. A warm and refreshing scent that made people feel good.

Is this also because he’s from a divine clan?

“This is cheating, Biyu…”

“Hm?”

I didn’t understand what he meant, but I tilted my head and smiled brightly.

“You should listen to the story until the end. I said you could stay here if you wanted, but if that’s not it and you want to come with me.”

I poked Raon’s cheek. It was clean skin.

“Of course it’s fine if you come with me.”

“…Really?”

“Yeah. I’d be so happy if the Guardian Deity came with me.”

Time had passed, but Raon’s ability hadn’t faded at all – it had only become more meaningful to me.

Raon allowed me to use my peak ability at any time.

Even when my physical condition wasn’t good, even now when my body is still immature because I’m not fully grown yet.

“The Hei Family has been able to prosper until today all thanks to you, you know?”

At my playful words, Raon finally smiled like a painting.

“That seems like too much, Biyu.”

“Oh, but it’s true though.”

But Raon wasn’t letting go of his arms. I was still trapped in Raon’s embrace.

Looking at his pretty face for too long is making me a little embarrassed…

Because the closer I look, the more I think he’s no longer a little child.

“Hmm, looking at you like this. I can feel that you’re really not young anymore.”

“What are you talking about, Biyu.”

Raon laughed quietly, suppressing his voice.

“It’s been like that for a long time now.”

…Right. Has it been a long time?

After hearing these words, I began to notice Raon’s broadened shoulders, his enlarged frame and chest.

These were things I had carelessly overlooked before.

I held my breath slightly. Somehow my saliva went down with a gulp, and I found myself fidgeting with my hands for no reason.

When I lifted my eyes slightly, I met head-on with the gaze that had been staring intently at me.

Hmm, it seems we’ve gotten closer.

Raon’s eyes curved beautifully.

“You’re finally noticing.”

“Hmm?”

“So….”

It was the moment Raon opened his mouth to say something. Raon’s figure instantly disappeared from before my eyes.

Whoosh!

Wind that scattered my hair.

…Wind?

I was startled and quickly turned my head. Soon after, a large shadow fell over me.

Black hair and clothes like a grim reaper. In contrast to that, an extremely graceful and handsome face that didn’t seem human.

An expression full of irritation rather than coldness.

I smiled.

“Dad.”

It seemed he had finally arrived after finishing his outing. He kept sending wind signals saying he’d come soon, come soon.

“You’re back?”

Instead of giving me his attention, Dad was glaring at one spot with disapproving eyes.

Raon spun around, doing an aerial somersault and landed in the yard. Dad didn’t take his eyes off him, glaring until Raon landed.

“How dare….”

I recalled the moment Raon disappeared and the strong wind that brushed my face, and I turned pale.

I quickly grabbed Dad’s sleeve.

“Dad! Don’t tell me you hit Raon?”

Dad finally looked at me. His cold eyes instantly softened.

“That guy who was pulling tricks?”

“What tricks? Anyway, did you hit him?”

Dad frowned. His answer was delayed, so I was about to press him further.

– Fufu, he didn’t hit him.

Someone poked their head out from over Dad’s shoulder. A translucent figure, it was Mother.

“Mother, you’re here?”

Mother placed her snow-white hand on Dad’s shoulder while covering her mouth with the sleeve of her other hand.

– To be precise, Raon dodged with magnificent skill before he could hit him. His abilities keep getting better, don’t they?

At Mother’s words, I quickly turned my head to glare at Dad.

“….”

Dad slyly averted his gaze.

“…I knew you would dodge it.”

“What kind of terrible thing is that to say? Just because you knew I’d dodge, does that mean it’s okay to throw a sword at me?”

“…I wasn’t holding a sword though.”

“So you think that makes it okay?”

Dad looked at me, then slyly averted his gaze again. What was funny was that while doing this, he moved his body closer to me.

Does he think he’s some giant cat? It was absurd.

– Hehe, Mother tried to stop him.

“No way, he probably moved before he could even hear Mother’s words.”

Dad only listened to two people in the world. Me and Mother. If he had properly heard Mother’s words, he definitely wouldn’t have acted, right?

Mother nodded in agreement.

– He must have been jealous that you two were alone together.

Mother approached me and whispered softly. At this distance, Dad can hear everything you whisper anyway….

“He really can’t help but torment Raon whenever he sees him.”

I ran my hand through my hair and let out a sigh.

“Now I feel wronged. You were standing awfully close together, what were you doing?”

“Well….”

I was about to answer immediately but hesitated.

We were just having a conversation, but it definitely wasn’t an appropriate posture.

“There was something on Biyu’s face, so I was helping remove it.”

Raon, who had approached nearby at some point, spoke up. I stared at Raon.

Raon grinned broadly.

“Right, Biyu?”

I nodded.

“That’s right, Dad. He was helping me, but you attacked without even knowing what was happening.”

It was slightly different from the truth, but we weren’t doing anything bad, right?

– Oh my.

Mother let out an incomprehensible exclamation.

– How can life be this entertaining?

Mother said this and waved her hand toward Dad.

– Bihu, you should stop now too.

“But.”

– You don’t want to end up like Birang, do you? Remember how Ayan was sleeping at our house.

“….”

Dad’s mouth, which had been about to voice some complaint, snapped shut.

‘Little Uncle and Ayan’s fight is actually helping us like this.’

I couldn’t help but suppress my laughter. When my eyes met Mother’s, she winked at me. I couldn’t hold back and burst into muffled laughter.

“That’s right, Dad. Don’t be so mean to Raon. Who do you think made it possible for you to date Mother?”

As Raon grew, his abilities also increased. So not only could Mother touch me and Dad.

I was able to leave my side and be away for a short while. That’s why I went on a date with Dad.

– That’s right! Bihu, I’m telling you in advance, I’m in favor of Raon.

“What favor… I’m against it.”

– It would be better to accept it quickly.

“…”

Dad was full of complaints but didn’t say anything more.

“Was the date enjoyable?”

When I subtly changed the subject and asked, Mother smiled with her cheeks turning red.

She looked happy.

It was a smile that made me feel joyful too.

“Then Dad, hurry up and take your medicine. I’ve already brewed it.”

Even if an inevitable, unavoidable tragedy was about to strike, it seemed like it might be okay.

* * *

Eight years had passed since Hei Haran’s rebellion.

Amazingly, Grandmother had swept away most of the Eight Families as she had declared.

Of course, as I mentioned, there was my help in that. But it was Grandmother who listened to the advice and acted on it.

‘She was more capable than I thought.’

In fact, this lady seemed to have more outstanding ability as a general than talent as a physician.

Of course, currently the Hei Family had Uncle and Little Uncle whom I had spared, plus Dad.

Besides that, most of the loyal warriors who should have died from Hei Haran’s schemes in the Original Work were still alive.

Third Aunt’s Husband, Bae Seonghyeon, was also an outstanding person, though not as much as Uncle.

Just by quickly punishing Hei Haran alone, who would have thought the Hei Family would grow like this.

Indeed, the saying that one loach can muddy all the water wasn’t wrong.

Currently, there were two surviving Eight Families.

Wolfsbane and Buk.

In Buk’s case, it was the family that the Emperor’s Imperial Envoy belonged to, whom I met in the village when I went to treat the plague at age three.

That Imperial Envoy was someone who, in my third life, was the family heir yet destroyed his own family with his own hands.

It wasn’t much different now either.

‘The only difference is that he keeps in contact with me…’

The Buk Family was steadily falling apart from within.

To the extent that neither I nor Grandmother needed to intervene.

What remained was Wolfsbane.

Of course, the other families that had fallen weren’t without problems either. Minor problems, you could say. All the surviving remnants had fled to the Imperial Palace.

By now, the Imperial Palace must be in a panic. Their money source—no, their treatment source—the Hei Family was attacking other families, and the Imperial Palace had no justification to intervene.

No, to be precise, I handled things so the Imperial Palace would have no reason to interfere. Sometimes secretly, sometimes by finding evidence of what the Eight Families had done to the Hei Family and giving them the same punishment in return.

‘This is my fourth life—would I handle things carelessly?’

They were probably just looking for justification to interfere with us.

And before long, that justification came looking for us.

It was something I had been expecting as well.

Right before the exam to select the highest-level physicians, contact from the Imperial Palace arrived.

“Acting Family Head, a letter has arrived from the Imperial Palace!”

It was a summons from the Imperial Palace.
