The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 198

Biyu would probably think that today too, he was saying he liked her as a friend.

Just as it had always been.

“What’s with the sudden cheesiness?”

Biyu grumbled slightly. See? Shaman wore a refreshing smile on his lips.

“So every choice I make is all for you, Hei Biyu.”

“You don’t need to go that far.”

Though Biyu hadn’t heard all the details of Shaman’s circumstances, she could sense that Shaman had given up something by not returning to his family estate for years and wandering around with her instead.

At first, she thought he would stay with her briefly before returning to his family estate. Since he was the heir.

But that wasn’t the case.

“I do.”

“…”

“Because you saved my life.”

Biyu didn’t keep secrets from Shaman. At least, she told him everything except for the absurd story about living for the third time.

For instance, that she had used up her lifespan to treat him.

“The life I live from now on all belongs to you.”

Though gentle, his voice was low and thick, making it feel weighty.

Biyu fidgeted with her warm cup and spoke carefully.

“…Are you saying you’ll become my family?”

Biyu’s eyes looking up at him were clear like a child’s. Though she probably thought she was being cold, they were actually full of expectation.

Shaman smiled.

“If that’s what you want.”

Whoosh.

The wind blew. Though Biyu always tied her hair up neatly when treating patients, when there was no need, she let it flow naturally.

He had asked her when she wanted to cut it into a bob. Whether she really had to cut it since he liked her long hair.

After that, Biyu never cut it even once.

Shaman caught her swaying beautiful purple hair and tucked it behind her ear.

Though she wasn’t used to personal contact, she naturally accepted only Shaman’s touch. Except for the embarrassing hand kisses.

Shaman tamed Biyu very slowly, bit by bit.

No, since he was also tamed by her, it could be said that the two tamed each other.

Biyu naturally accepted his touch and simply waited for an answer.

“There are many ways to become family. We can just do it. No, let’s do it.”

“…”

“Family.”

Biyu blinked several times.

She fidgeted as she set down her cup. Under the moonlight, Biyu’s cheeks and ears were tinged with red.

“…Not bad.”

Shaman burst into laughter.

“Hei Biyu, you know what?”

“What?”

“Instead of saying you like something when you like it, you say ‘not bad.'”

Biyu closed her mouth.

Well, that’s because everything she ever thought was good soon disappeared. Good people, good things too.

Biyu briefly thought of Jeok Yunha, then erased the thought.

“What are you talking about. Just keep your word.”

“Well, who’s talking here.”

The two looked at each other, then as if by agreement, burst into audible laughter.

It was bright, cheerful laughter.

Biyu looked at the moon and thought that a wish from long ago had come true.

A peaceful life.

This was enough.

That’s what she thought.

…Not knowing that the rift would approach very quickly.

* * *

‘I really like you.’

Biyu stopped treating and fidgeted with her ear.

“Physician?”

“Ah. Lower your head.”

The patient quickly lowered his head again. Biyu treated the inflammation on his scalp while her cheeks slightly reddened.

Really, are all the boys from the Western Continent like this?

They always speak so boldly. But why does it feel like he doesn’t mean he likes me just as a friend anymore?

“You seemed hot… It’s nothing special, but please drink this.”

“Ah, thank, thank you.”

Biyu, whose cheeks didn’t lose their flush all day, had to accept cool fruit juice from a patient.

After finishing work and returning to her dwelling, Biyu tilted her head.

Shaman always stayed by Biyu’s side, but for some reason today he said he had some business to attend to and left.

He said it would only take a moment.

“Shaman?”

But there was no one in the dwelling. Biyu felt an inexplicable emptiness.

‘We were sticking together too much.’

Still, even so, it felt empty. Biyu scratched the back of her neck and entered the room. He’d come back soon.

However, Shaman didn’t return even as the night deepened.

Biyu woke up at dawn. Cough, cough. She coughed for a while and groped with her hand.

‘Shaman doesn’t seem to be here yet.’

Usually, he was the type of person who would wake up instantly and come running at the slightest sound of her coughing.

As soon as a clean cloth touched her fingertips, she brought it to her lips.

Her hand was stained with blood.

‘Hmm.’

When Biyu awakened her ability, she also came to know her own lifespan.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t long. No, compared to an ordinary human lifespan, it was remarkably short.

Of course, since this was a world inside a book, she knew she was terminally ill, but experiencing it firsthand was another matter entirely.

‘My life is already troubled, and now I’m destined for a short life too.’

She thought the gods had really given her everything in the worst possible way.

Moreover, in the 1st and 2nd rounds, she died earlier than her natural lifespan, so the fact that she was terminally ill didn’t really hit home.

Having lived through this life that was longer than before, she finally felt the reality of it. Her life had become even shorter because she had used up her remaining lifespan to treat Shaman.

In truth, Biyu didn’t want to end this life. It was only in her third round that her life had stabilized and found peace.

How could she not feel regret?

‘Should I tell Shaman the truth?’

I’m going to die soon, but don’t worry. I’ll regress and come back to life again.

Can I find you faster and treat you? Will you say the same thing to me then too?

It was a ridiculous question.

In the next life, he wouldn’t even remember her. Biyu found this point endlessly regrettable.

However, Biyu was quick to resign herself.

Since what was already decided couldn’t be helped, how about trying to do everything she wanted to do in this life?

First, the highest-level physician position she had wanted to try – the country would give that to her automatically.

What else did she want to do after that? Biyu pondered deeply.

“Well, *cough*, I’ve traveled around to my heart’s content.”

Kicking the asses of those guys who looked down on her in the 2nd round – Shaman had done that for her two years ago.

She had eaten everything she wanted to eat, and staying in a grand house… she had done that while treating those noble bastards.

“…Making a family.”

Making people who were on her side.

Biyu tilted her head. Wasn’t this already accomplished too?

‘There are many ways to become family. I can do it. No, let’s do it.’

‘…’

‘Family.’

Biyu scratched her neck. Somehow her cheeks felt a bit ticklish.

But this thing called family – it’s not something that happens just by shouting ‘From today on, you and I are family!’ is it?

What Biyu wanted was someone who could legally inherit all her property even if she died, that kind of family.

Since Shaman and herself were strangers, for that to be possible, what would there be.

“Marriage?”

Having said this much, Biyu’s shoulders flinched. Good heavens, what had she just said? She even smacked her own mouth.

But if I couldn’t do it in my previous life, can’t I try it a little in this life?

Somehow, it seemed like Shaman would do it if she asked him to. Biyu let out a small laugh.

“I’m having all sorts of strange thoughts.”

Biyu tilted her head back. It wasn’t a good position given that she had nosebleeds and was coughing up blood, but what could she do?

She wanted to spend her remaining life only in happiness.

She hoped Shaman would come in quickly.

Should she at least try talking to him once he came?

Meanwhile, at the same time.

Shaman was clutching his throbbing head while glaring ahead.

“I’m leaving now.”

Shaman was in a dark warehouse. Knights dressed in Western Continental Attire surrounded him with their swords drawn.

They were all people from Wolfsbane.

“You cannot leave, Young Master.”

The person standing at the front was Benton, a loyal Knight of the family and also his swordsmanship Master from childhood.

“These are the Family Head’s orders to return.”

“But I’m not a person from there anymore, am I?”

“Young Master!!”

An Elder with a stubborn expression burst through the Knights. He was an Elder and Retainer of the family.

A fanatic who could die for the Family Head.

“How many times do I have to say it. I won’t go. I said I won’t go. I’m not a person from there anymore. Move aside.”

Even this afternoon, he thought he would only need to be away briefly.

However, Wolfsbane noticed that Shaman was about to leave soon and threatened the village.

They told him to wait until night if he didn’t want to see the village turned into ruins. This was the result of waiting.

Shaman was anxious. Biyu often coughed when night came. Though she absolutely wouldn’t let him in.

He had to prepare warm water from outside and get her bath water ready.

“Do you want to see your son dead that badly?”

When Shaman spoke with a growling voice, the Knights flinched.

That was right. Shaman had threatened his Father and the family members by staking his own life. He said he would die if he couldn’t follow Biyu.

It was only natural since it was a life that child had given him.

“I told you not to look for me. The warning was already sufficient.”

Shaman drew his sword.

He could see all the Knights tensing up. Shaman was a genius of swordsmanship born once in several hundred years even in Wolfsbane.

Such a successor had fallen ill early with an unknown disease, so they must have been extremely worried.

Shaman no longer wanted to understand his Family Members. The family would continue even without him.

But Biyu couldn’t do without him.

No. That was a lie.

That child would perhaps live well.

Rather, it was he who couldn’t do without Biyu.

The battle began.

The Shaman was bothered by the Retainer’s bloody smile he had glimpsed for a moment, but he focused on the battle.

He planned to meet Biyu and hurry to the Next Village. Since the Next City was a Conflict Zone, even Wolfsbane couldn’t move recklessly.

Just as the last Knight was about to fall. It was the moment when the Shaman turned around, wiping his sweat in a slightly exhausted state.

“Impressive. It takes this many elite soldiers to tire you out even slightly.”

“What?”

A Knight he thought had fallen to the Floor grabbed his ankle. And simultaneously, the Retainer who had spoken rushed at him.

‘A Sword?’

It wasn’t. A Syringe was stuck in his neck. He had an ominous feeling.

Even as his body lost strength, the Shaman thought of Biyu.

‘I have to go back, but…’

The Retainer’s sinister voice reached his ears.

“The Family Head didn’t want to use this either, but there’s no choice.”

“…”

“Don’t worry. You’ll be able to return to That Woman.”

Heart-wrenching laughter echoed through the air.
