The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 20

Hei Bihu’s daily routine was always the same.

When he opened his eyes in the morning, he would go Under the Tree and sit there until sunset.

Sometimes strange things would come to mind, but he would quickly forget them again.

Even when he felt an impulse that he absolutely had to go somewhere, he would just close his eyes due to severe lethargy.

It was a chronic illness.

‘How tiresome. No, is it bothersome…’

Despite these symptoms, there was strangely one image that kept appearing whenever he closed his eyes.

Red Silk was hanging on a Clothesline.

It wasn’t difficult to make out the pale purple hair fluttering between the fabric.

Who could it be.

The Woman looked at him and raised her index finger to her lips in a gesture as if to say it was a secret.

‘I won’t tell you. The gender.’

He couldn’t see her face.

It was painted over in pure white. He could only see her picture-like smiling lips and hear her clear laughter.

What came next was always the same. The dream would end abruptly before the Woman could approach.

When he opened his eyes, his chest always felt ticklish.

“Haah…”

Occasionally, Assassins would come targeting him in his lethargic state. Sometimes he could find out who was behind them if he interrogated them.

It was the only time he engaged in anything resembling real activity.

‘Mother, no, Family Head. We need to kill Hei Bihu. What if he completely loses his memory and becomes an enemy of the Hei Family? With that cruel personality! If he loses his memory too! Who knows who he’ll point his Sword at.’

‘Certainly, Brother-in-law is… too dangerous a person. Isn’t he too good for Brainwashing? Here, because his head is empty.’

‘Hahahaha!’

Whether it was his Mother who was the Family Head, or his Sister or Brother-in-law, he had no intention of dying as they wished.

‘How is it? My Treatment?’

‘Shh, it’s a secret. Trade secret.’

A change came to this routine.

A young Baby who suddenly appeared claiming to be his Daughter threw hope at an illness he’d never expected to recover from until death.

And boldly and shamelessly declared.

‘I’m going to the market! Help me!’

* * *

“Hmm…”

Oh my, I’m tired.

Ugh, this is tough. I’m exhausted. I groaned and barely managed to open my eyes.

‘How did I get home yesterday…’

Oh, right. I remember being excited when that man called dad said he would help.
He helped by consuming some of his lifespan, right? By using the Forbidden Ability.

‘Using that makes you tired. Especially since a child’s body has weak stamina…’

‘I get tired after using that. Especially since a child’s body has weak stamina….’

And then I remember scurrying back saying we’d meet again later.

I even remember how he scurried back, asking to see me again.
The last thing I saw was the ground. But why did I wake up here?

This is a familiar ceiling.

The last thing I saw was the ground. But why did I open my eyes here?

‘Did he bring me here?’

These days I’m living together with my uncle and Heukgyewon at their house.
It was the moment I turned my head.

“Mother! You, you scared me!”

Yaaawn. I rubbed my eyes while yawning loudly. My hands are so small that even rubbing my eyes is difficult.

“Wh, what are you doing?”

“Oh my! You, you scared me!”
“Observation?”

He glanced at my curly hair and carefully lifted it up.

“Wh-what are you doing?”

“Because you’re my benefactor~”

“Observation?”
I slowly scooted my butt away.

‘If I suddenly get up and run away!’

“Narul, why?”

“How sad~ if you run away. Hmm?”

There was something ominous about the way he smiled.
Isn’t the atmosphere too different from when his eyes rolled back?

“What did Uncle do?”

‘If I suddenly get up and run away!’

“Uncle.”

“But this is so sad~ if you just run away. Hm?”
I stared at him with a sullen expression.

“Call me properly.”

Isn’t the atmosphere way too different from when your eyes rolled back?

“What did uncle do.”

“White root.”

“Uncle.”

What are you talking about. I’ll call you whatever I want to call you.

I stared with a sullen expression.

“Me too.”

“You want me? Okay, Uncle can have me!”

“Sand, give me to him!”

“Right, right, if I say give me to him, you should do it.”

No, let go! Let me go, mister! Even though I was struggling, Uncle grinned happily.

“Want to take my son too? I’ll sell them as a bundle.”

“No way!”

“…I see.”

I turned my head in surprise at the sudden voice.

There I saw Hei Gyewon holding a tray. He had a slightly sulky and hurt expression.

“You might not want to have me. Me.”

“No, no, that’s not it…!”

Why am I making excuses?

“Whatever, just eat.”

Cousin Brother smiled calmly as if it had been a joke. Uncle also put me down at just the right time.

I sat down sulkily even though I hadn’t done anything wrong.

Why do I have to read the room?

“Ahem, I hope there’s no misunderstanding. Cousin Brother.”

“Okay, I won’t.”

Hei Gyewon pointed toward my rice bowl with his hand while keeping his head down.

“If you eat all of that, I won’t misunderstand.”

“…Really?”

Are you really being this childish?

I’ll be the mature one and give in.

“I understand. I’ll eat every last bit!”

I wondered why I had porridge while Hei Gyewon and Hei Biwon had bowls full of meat in front of them.

But since there was finely shredded meat in the porridge too, I decided to let it slide.

“You know what? What’s in front of our rice bowls is chicken, but what’s in Princess’s porridge is beef?”

“Cough!”

“Father!”

I was busy trying to hold back my coughing, but rice grains had already splattered on Hei Biwon’s face long ago.

“Wow, how spirited.”

Uncle wiped it off nonchalantly, but.

“Why would you say such things to a child! Doesn’t that put pressure on her!”

…It was true?!

“Why not. You have to show off things like this to get loved~ Right?”

What love. I almost choked.

‘People as big as mountains should be the ones eating beef themselves.’

I looked at the porridge. If I didn’t eat it here, Cousin Brother looked ready to shoot lasers, so I ate it all.

‘But what kind of money do they have to give me beef?’

From experience, the food portions that came to this place weren’t that generous, were they?

These were characters who had almost no interaction in the previous rounds, so it was quite puzzling.

“We take care of weird guys one by one and get paid for it, Little One.”

Uncle spoke as if he could read my mind. I bit down on my spoon and tilted my head.

“You said you can’t go outside.”

So that’s why you can’t go to the market?

“Ah~ That was a joke?”

What?!

“Y-you, you tricked me?!”

Because of that, I suffered so much in front of that Dad guy!

“Sit down, Biyu. It’s a lie. Father is always like that.”

I sat down obediently. How frustrating.

“The Hei Family treats us like butchers. They only use Father when there’s someone to deal with occasionally.”

When Hei Gyewon spoke matter-of-factly, my expression became strange. What’s that about…

‘They kick us out but still use us efficiently?’

Use. I knew all too well how cruel this ‘Hei’ family could be to people without backing.

‘Squeezing pus? Make her do it. Hei Biyu. Ugh, disgusting. Let’s make her do everything.’

‘Infectious disease? I’m telling you to make her do it? She can’t even make a peep anyway.’

‘Hey hey, why are you going to a place where you’ll die? Send her. No one would care if she died anyway, right? Perfect for dealing with crazy people.’

I started to open my mouth then stopped.

“Is it because of money?”

“Huh? Well… And… because of Father’s medicine costs.”

“The anesthetic, you mean.”

This father and son were good at speaking without reserve. I liked that there was nothing for me to be cautious about either.

“If it’s because of money, that’s great! You don’t have to do that anymore. Uncle Baek too, and Dad too!”

I pointed at each of the two men with my small hands.

“Don’t go earn money.”

“Huh…?”

“From now on, Biyu will go earn money.”

“…”

The two men blinked their eyes in bewilderment. I thumped my chest.

“I’m the head of the family.”

So just listen to me. I declared confidently.

Third life of regression.

If you just listen to me, rice cakes will appear even while sleeping and you’ll pick up money too!
