The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius
Chapter 195
* * *
A very long time ago.
A small girl with purple hair was looking down at her hands.
The girl’s small hands were a mess with bitten nails.
She knew that nail-biting was a kind of anxiety symptom, but as they say, a monk can’t shave his own head. Even as a physician, it was a symptom she couldn’t do anything about.
‘What’s the point of being a physician if this is how it is.’
Though she had a doll-like pretty face, the expression dwelling there was beyond expressionless—it was full of dissatisfaction.
Young Biyu had only one reason for her dissatisfaction. She had been forcibly dragged here.
In technical terms, she had been kidnapped.
“Bring her in.”
The door opened and Biyu was forcibly led by rough hands and dragged into this room.
Since she already felt that resistance was useless, Biyu obediently went limp.
In fact, Biyu, who had experienced unfortunate lives in both her first and second rounds, was a bit exhausted.
It could be called helplessness from a series of unlucky lives, or it could be said she had fallen into depression.
She had no motivation either. Even so, leaving the family estate was purely out of stubbornness.
It was still a time when Biyu’s thoughts of becoming the best physician and her will to return home weren’t very strong yet.
“We’ve brought her.”
Biyu slowly raised her head. The girl’s eyes widened very slightly before returning to normal.
‘What. That startled me.’
Before her eyes was a coughing young boy. His complexion was so poor that you could tell he was a patient even from a distance.
‘Damn, he’s handsome.’
But he was too handsome. The only handsome men Biyu had seen so far were Hei Birang and Hei Biwon, whom she met in her first and second rounds.
Despite his young age, he was a boy handsome enough to compare to those two. It would have been even better if he wasn’t constantly trembling and gasping for breath.
‘Trembling…’
Looking at the hand tremors, complexion, and stiff posture, Biyu habitually thought of several diseases and symptoms.
She’d have to do a diagnosis to know for sure, but.
‘Damn bastards… At least feed people before making them work.’
When hungry Biyu staggered, the man holding her arm shook her irritably.
“Stop.”
A hoarse voice mixed with coughing echoed. The man’s rough movements stopped.
“What are you doing.”
The young boy who roughly wiped his mouth with a handkerchief glared with piercing eyes.
At first Biyu thought the young boy was glaring at her, but he wasn’t. He was glaring at the man who had grabbed her.
“She’s supposed to be the doctor who will treat me.”
“Yes? Yes, th, that’s right.”
“You said you brought her here with difficulty because she was too competent and famous in the marketplace streets. Why is the treatment like this?”
“Th, that’s…”
“Or are you treating the physician this way because you also look down on me receiving treatment?”
“No! Th, that can’t be! Absolutely not!”
The man straightened his body. Then he hurriedly released Biyu’s arm and even went so far as to dust her off.
It was a flustered and awkward behavior. Biyu couldn’t bear it and pulled her hand away with a frown.
The man’s expression turned fierce for a moment, but it was only an instant.
The man hurried out in a fluster.
‘There’s not a single attendant.’
As the man said, Biyu had made quite a name for herself in the marketplace streets.
As the man said, Biyu had made quite a name for herself in the marketplace.
Biyu’s talent had bloomed brilliantly.
The talent for metaphor bloomed brilliantly.
But a room this quiet, silent.
And without attendants was a first.
But it’s so desolate and quiet like this.
She could tell even before the diagnosis.
Moreover, the boy before his eyes was as young as he was.
“Small.”
It could have been known even before the diagnosis.
The young boy muttered quietly while looking at Biyu. It seemed like he spoke without much thought, but Biyu’s eyebrows twitched.
“And you’re frail?”
The young boy’s eyes turned toward Biyu. His fierce eyes like a young beast were sharp enough to predict his future growth, impossible to ignore.
The boy muttered quietly while looking at Biyu. It seemed like he had spoken without much thought, but Biyu’s eyebrows twitched.
“Right. Frail, weak, and useless.”
“And you’re frail?”
“…”
The boy’s eyes turned toward Biyu. His fierce gaze, like that of a young beast, was sharply penetrating in a way that couldn’t be ignored, as if foretelling what he would become when he grew up.
Something stirred fiercely in her chest at those calm words. Because they were words she had heard all her life.
It didn’t matter anyway. Since she would come back to life even if she died, what was the point of it all.
However, the young boy just stared at Biyu and then smiled quietly. Mixing in a cough, cough.
But the boy just stared at the metaphor and then smiled faintly. Coughing softly as he did.
Only then did Biyu look the young boy over carefully.
“You’re treating me like fragile porcelain that could break at any moment.”
Once again, it was a matter-of-fact narration.
Only then did Biyu look the boy over carefully.
Red hair.
It was also the symbolic color of Wolfsbane.
His snow-white face and sharp eyes seemed mismatched yet harmonized well together.
From my experience of meeting two incredibly handsome men at the Hei Family Estate, I could deduce that this boy would become quite the beauty.
“Can I hold your hand?”
“…Hm?”
Biyu was quite irritated from being forcibly brought here.
She wasn’t in the mood for a full diagnosis. But palpation seemed manageable.
When the young boy hesitantly gave permission, Biyu took his hand.
‘Paralysis symptoms.’
Moreover, it wasn’t just one illness. There were complications.
He definitely had a severe chronic condition, and it seemed minor ailments had accumulated due to improper treatment.
“What medicine did you take before? No, never mind. There must be records of that. This is a great family, after all.”
“….”
After staring at his hand held by Biyu for a moment, the young boy asked curiously.
“Are you going to treat me?”
“They said they won’t let me go until I cure you. They also said they’d kill me if I failed.”
“If you want, I’ll let you go.”
Biyu raised her eyes.
“I heard that every physician who came here failed at treatment and either left, was driven away, or died. They said there are no more physicians to find, so they brought a famous physician who was wandering the marketplace streets.”
The young boy didn’t deny it. His silence seemed like confirmation.
“Still, if you want, I’ll send you back.”
“Why?”
“Because this isn’t right.”
His pulse beat steadily. It didn’t seem like a lie. That’s why Biyu felt something strange.
“The physicians who came before came of their own accord, but you’re different. The ones who died… I couldn’t do anything about that, but I feel sorry about it.”
Biyu stopped her palpation and tilted her head. She couldn’t understand.
“Don’t you want to live?”
“….”
It was strange. All patients were desperate to live. That’s why they sought out Biyu.
The occasional patients who had resigned themselves to their illness were either those with their own reasons or elders who had already lived long enough.
“…I want to live. But it shouldn’t proceed at the cost of someone else’s life.”
Biyu lowered her head and chuckled softly.
It was amusing.
“You’re more righteous than the people from our family. No, more than the other people from your family too?”
This place was the family of cruel villains from within the book. But what did that matter?
In the 1st and 2nd rounds, the Hei Family was nothing but villains to Biyu.
“Isn’t it simple if you think about it easily?”
The young boy looked down for a moment, then said with a smile.
“If you stay here, you can only save me or fail to save me. But if you’re outside, you can save many more people, so it’s beneficial.”
“…What?”
“Isn’t that what a physician is? That’s how I learned it.”
This was truly a comforting sound. There was no such thing as a true physician in the world. At least not in the world Biyu had seen.
Physicians had also become corrupt, chasing wealth while discriminating against patients and judging them, easily abandoning the poor.
Even the physicians of the Hei Family were like that, so in such a world, perhaps only someone like Ayan wouldn’t be that way.
But in this life, that child had gone missing. With the hero who could stop the Eight Families’ tyranny gone, the family would collapse and be destroyed.
“I heard everything.”
Even so, Biyu somehow didn’t want to refute the young boy’s words that were pure to the point of innocence.
“You’ve already saved many people.”
Because this was the truth. Because the young boy seemed to see her as a great and noble physician.
…Actually, because that was all that remained for Biyu, who had abandoned both family and clan.
“Then you’re far more amazing than me, a patient stuck in a room.”
Biyu gritted her teeth at the ridiculously touching feeling in her chest. What was all this talk about? She even rubbed her ears vigorously.
It was also refreshing that a young master from such a great family would act this way.
“That seems like an overly generous interpretation.”
“What are you saying. It’s only natural.”
The young boy coughed again. Covering his lips with cloth, he pointed toward the door.
“If you want to go back, go back.”
In both the first and second lives, everyone Biyu had met were people who only used and confined her. She thought this life wouldn’t be different either.
“I promise. There won’t be any problems even if you go back.”
For such a Biyu, this hand right now was.
The first hand to offer her freedom.
