The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius
Chapter 193
Only then did I come to my senses.
‘Ah.’
This wasn’t a space where only I existed. Right, it wasn’t just the two of us here… I had forgotten for a moment.
Countless eyes looking at me.
In those eyes were questions, shock, and concern without exception…
Yet within all those gazes, there was a common underlying solid trust.
I gave a bitter smile.
‘What kind of disgraceful behavior is this.’
I glanced down at my hands. When was the last time I had gotten this angry?
Throughout the time I helped destroy the Eight Families, I was always rational and cold.
Because those were the kind of Enemies that could only be defeated that way.
And I thought I had forgotten my grudge against this bastard after spending so much time.
‘I thought seeing him again wouldn’t affect me…’
Anyway, now that I had come to my senses, there was only one thing to do.
When I raised my head, my eyes met Mother’s as she looked at me with concern. I silently mouthed words so only she could see.
I smiled slightly as if to say I was fine, then turned my head.
I looked at the Large Man still standing in front of me. We were the same age. No, wasn’t he the one who claimed to be my Brother because he was born a few months before me?
My face settled into calmness.
What were those Hand Signals just now?
‘I didn’t see it wrong.’
When I grabbed his collar, how had he reacted? He wasn’t flustered at all.
Does he really remember me?
But… if he remembers, he couldn’t dare smile at me.
I clenched my fists tightly.
No, would he have the audacity to come looking for me?
‘Is this a trap?’
But he came to This Place all alone?
I remained silent for a moment, then slowly moved my gaze. I aimed it at those who were waiting only for my command.
“Escort our guest.”
“Black Rain, no, Family Head!!”
While everyone was shocked, the first to object was Little Uncle. He blocked my path with a horrified expression.
“What are you saying! That bastard’s place is in Prison!”
“On what charges?”
“Huh? Well, that’s.”
Wolfsbane is the leading family among the Eight Families. The problem is that it’s the only family without direct ‘evidence’ of doing anything to the Hei Family.
Moreover, I don’t know if that man intended it, but he hasn’t caused any problems yet.
“What if going to prison is what they intended?”
“What? No, excuse me?”
“Uncle, we don’t know that suspicious person’s intentions.”
But we can’t just drive him away and let him roam freely around the Hei Family Territory either. I deliberately gave Shaman a cold look.
“Keep him under surveillance.”
I looked at Hei Birang and then at Uncle Hei Biwon.
“Uncle and Little Uncle will do it personally.”
Uncle, who seemed surprised for a moment, smiled slyly. It was a cunning smile, but I could sense something unusual in his eyes.
“Of course. The Family Head’s orders… must naturally be followed. This Hei Biwon will do his best.”
It seemed that the fierce attitude I had shown had a significant impact on Uncle as well.
He would have an unpleasant life while being under surveillance. But that’s not my concern.
I turned my body around sharply.
“Escort the guest and everyone disperse.”
* * *
Entering my room, I let out a big sigh. There was someone who had followed me to this room.
It was Dad.
I sat at the desk without giving Dad a glance. There was something I needed to find before talking with Dad.
Fortunately, both Dad and Mother seemed willing to wait and didn’t speak to me.
‘Found it.’
What I unfolded was Silvester’s letter.
‘I had asked him to tell me about Wolfsbane.’
I had made this request when informing Silvester about the succession ceremony. The letter that came as a response to this had this passage.
[This is about Wolfsbane that you requested. About that place… but before that, this letter is secure, right? Ahem, anyway, that place has been a bit strange lately.
I hear stories that the Family Head has collapsed and the heir has gone missing… I’m not sure what the actual situation is. It’s strange, so be careful.
That place has always been full of sinister people for generations.]
I scanned through the letter again. Even on second reading, there was no additional information beyond this.
I never imagined I would meet them immediately after reading this letter.
‘And it’s the heir who was supposedly missing…’
I quietly folded the letter that contained phrases like ‘too busy ruining our family, see you later~’.
I raised my head.
“Did you come to ask what happened?”
Good. Having calmed down a bit, my voice came out composed.
Mother and Dad seemed to look at each other for a moment. As if deciding who would speak first.
– Are you okay?
Mother asked carefully.
My eyes widened.
“…What?”
– The reason, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t curious, but I’m more worried about our daughter than such trivial things.
Gently. Mother approached me.
A slightly cool hand, but one warmer than anything else in the world to me, touched my cheek.
– Our daughter, are you okay?
I held back the lump in my throat for a moment, then smiled out of habit.
Yes, now even when I was angry or struggling, I had someone to listen to my whining and family to ask if I was okay. I had them.
Yes, everything was different from the third round.
“I guess old sorrows just came to mind.”
Though it was something she couldn’t understand, Mother listened quietly. I was grateful for that kindness.
“So.”
Dad quietly interjected.
“Can I beat him up?”
“Huh?”
“That’s all that matters to me.”
I blinked my eyes wide, then burst into a small laugh. Maybe if it were Mother.
I thought Dad would persistently ask what happened. Maybe Dad had also become more stable from being with Mother for so long.
He waits for me. Waiting for me to speak.
“Well, I would like you to beat him up.”
“I’ll go right now.”
“Ah, no, no, I’m joking. Joking. Not now, later! After the interrogation is over.”
“There’s also the method of beating while interrogating.”
“That’s torture!”
If we suddenly torture that guy, wouldn’t we be no different from the damned Eight Families?
‘First, I need to confirm whether he’s the Emperor’s lackey or not.’
Given his nature, he probably wouldn’t do such a thing, but you never know.
Who knows if he became the Emperor’s loyal dog in this life?
‘Yes, this is good.’
Since he’s out of sight, my heart feels better than before. I needed to be cynical about his matters like this.
Mother and Dad talked with me a bit more before returning. Without asking me for reasons until the very end.
Left alone, I placed my hand on my chest.
It’s warm.
While I was smiling gently, I heard the sound of something dropping behind me.
I slowly got up from my seat and turned around.
There stood a young man in black clothing wearing a fox mask.
I wasn’t surprised.
“Raon.”
Because it was Raon.
Because currently Raon was quietly serving as my bodyguard like my shadow.
Shadow Warrior, was it.
After learning from Uncle and Little Uncle for so long, his talent had bloomed in this way.
When we were outside, he wasn’t visible anywhere, but he probably saw and heard everything while hidden behind us.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, I scratched my cheek. Raon took off his mask.
“Um, that’s…”
“Biyu.”
Then he walked straight toward me. My surprise was brief.
“May I excuse myself for a moment?”
“Huh? Oh, okay.”
I naturally thought he would ask about the reason for my earlier behavior. But Raon quietly reached out his hand.
His fingertips touched my cheek and then pulled away. They were rough, probably from gripping his sword for so long.
Then they slowly moved up and lingered near my eyes. It was a careful hand, as if observing something.
“…You didn’t cry.”
“Huh? Why would I cry.”
I laughed slightly, finding it absurd.
“But you had the face of someone who wanted to cry.”
I froze mid-laugh.
“Biyu, when you want to cry, you get angry or suppress it. You become silent.”
“…”
“As if you must never show tears.”
Raon pulled his hand away.
“I hope you won’t cry.”
“Geez, I don’t cry.”
I shifted my gaze slightly and spoke with a bit of grumbling. Inside, I was a little shocked.
Just moments ago, I really had been so angry that I felt like bursting into tears.
“But if you’re going to cry, I hope you’ll only cry in front of me.”
I looked up in slight surprise. Where my gaze landed, Raon was smiling innocently.
Under the light coming through the window that enveloped Raon, only his eyes were serious.
“By any chance…”
Raon hesitated for a moment, then slightly lowered his head and whispered in my ear.
“…Today, was that person the ‘friend’ who betrayed you, Biyu?”
My eyes widened greatly.
