The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius
Chapter 200
Biyu hesitated.
“…What did you say?”
“I said don’t accept it.”
His voice was ice-cold. The area under Biyu’s eyes trembled momentarily.
When she looked up, Shaman’s face, which she had expected to be smiling, was rigidly hardened.
She couldn’t understand it.
“…Why?”
Nevertheless, Biyu asked for a reason.
Because it was Shaman.
Shaman stared intently at Biyu. For some reason, his expression looked pained. The muscles in his neck tensed up.
He grabbed his throat.
Like someone who couldn’t say what they wanted to say. He tensed up several times… then finally relaxed his shoulders and neck.
“…I can’t tell you. And I can’t talk for long either. Anyway, don’t accept it.”
When he said this much, Biyu also felt anger rising.
Shaman’s face, which she had expected would celebrate with her, was only serious. And he said he couldn’t even tell her why.
Tears welled up in Biyu’s eyes.
“…I don’t want to.”
Biyu was stubborn. However, she had only made many concessions to Shaman, who could be called her only one.
Even if Shaman didn’t think so, she considered it that way herself.
“You know why I wanted this, how much I’ve longed for it. You know better than anyone! So why, why do you say that?”
“…”
“At least give me a valid reason. When have I ever not listened to you? Tell me.”
A troubled expression crossed his face. It was a somewhat awkward look.
“…Biyu, please listen to me. I can’t speak right now. Just don’t go. Don’t accept it either.”
If it were any other matter, Biyu would have gladly done so. However, the Imperial Palace’s recognition was her lifelong goal and cherished wish.
“Why are you like this? You’ve never been like this before. If you tell me not to do something without being able to give a reason, should I just listen?”
In the end, she had lived a life of drifting like a buoy, having run away on her own before dying without even receiving her family’s recognition.
And that wasn’t all? She had even been kidnapped by Shaman’s family.
“How can you say that to me!”
The person who had watched her life closer than anyone, the only one she trusted, was saying this.
Especially since she had been feeling an inexplicable sense of discord from Shaman recently, Biyu’s anxiety finally burst out.
“I don’t know about other things, but when it comes to this, you can’t say this to me. You can’t!”
“Hei Biyu!”
Shaman grabbed Biyu’s shoulders with both hands. Biyu was slightly startled.
For some reason, Shaman, who was frowning deeply like someone in pain, pleaded with a somewhat desperate expression.
“Just don’t accept it. Please? I’m begging you…”
His face with veins bulging on his forehead. Biyu, who had been staring intently at such a Shaman, spoke.
“You’ve been strange lately.”
This wasn’t the first time she felt something was off.
So Biyu had made excuses to diagnose Shaman. The problem was that nothing came up despite that.
Shaman’s body had a rather special constitution to begin with. Since he became an adult, her diagnosis often didn’t work well on him.
Biyu couldn’t tell if this was due to a constitution that developed as he grew, or because she had treated him using lifespan.
She could only confirm through other medical examinations that there was nothing wrong with his body. In other words, it wasn’t an illness.
So that bastard was shouting like that with a clear mind.
Biyu bit her lip.
“And I’m going to accept what the Imperial Family gave me. Who are you to tell me whether to accept it or not.”
The prolonged silence, the answer that didn’t come back, deeply stabbed at Biyu’s pride and impatience.
Only then did the desperation fade slightly from the man’s face, replaced by anxiety and urgency.
“…If it seemed like I was forcing you, I’m sorry. No, I’m sorry for forcing you. That wasn’t my intention.”
A softened, gentle voice. Biyu’s expression also relaxed slightly.
“I’m just impatient because there’s no time…!”
“What do you mean there’s no time.”
“…”
Silence again.
Biyu’s eyes turned fierce again.
“If you’re not going to tell me, then don’t worry about me either. Because to me, that only feels like deception.”
“How can I not worry about you.”
When Biyu struggled to get away from him, Shaman held her without hurting her. Biyu fumed.
“Shaman!”
“It’s natural for me to worry about you.”
“Let go, I’m leaving…”
“Because I like you.”
Biyu’s resistance stopped as if it were a lie.
Shaman’s figure reflected like a mirror in her widened eyes.
A face that looked painfully sad, wearing a bitter smile as if about to cry.
“You already knew that.”
“…”
“I really, truly like you.”
Strangely, while it was a confession, it sounded like something desperate. Because Shaman was speaking as if today were the last day of the world.
From him as he confessed, instead of excitement or something innocent, she felt despair, anger, sadness. And finally, faint resignation.
Biyu felt something was strange once again.
‘Why are you saying such things like a farewell?’
“Enough that I want to give you the rest of my life. No, I want to give it to you.”
Even so, sincerity could be glimpsed. So Biyu couldn’t say anything at all.
“…So, can’t you not accept it?”
Biyu’s lips moved slightly.
‘If I don’t accept this?’
Then, will you stay by my side for the rest of your life until you die? Since I’d be giving up my lifelong goal. You should do that much, shouldn’t you.
The words couldn’t become language. As she felt the emotions scattered in the air, Biyu finally spoke.
“…I’ll think about it.”
For her, who dealt with matters of life and death, everything was divided into a binary of what should be done and what shouldn’t be done.
So, in other words, such an ambiguous answer was practically the same as saying yes. That she would do as Shaman wished.
And Shaman, who had been with her for so long, couldn’t possibly not know this.
But, the next day.
“Accept it.”
Shaman said something completely different. When Biyu looked up, his face was smiling as usual, no different from normal.
“I misspoke yesterday. Accept it. It’s what you’ve always wanted and what you love doing.”
Biyu moistened her lips.
It was the right thing to say, but somehow she felt like she should shout and argue back.
Once again, that strange feeling and sense of discord arose.
Her instincts were warning her.
At the same time, she felt like she shouldn’t feel any more discord here.
“Really, you’re telling me to accept it?”
“Yeah. How could I tell you what to decide or not to decide. I respect you.”
Biyu’s chest throbbed. Her heart ached more than when she had heard his desperate voice telling her not to accept it.
She didn’t know why.
“…Alright.”
In any case, it was also Biyu’s goal.
She decided to go to the Imperial Palace in three months.
Time passed quickly.
Finally, it was time to depart for the Imperial Palace. Biyu had finished all her preparations the day before.
And on the day before her departure to the Imperial Palace.
“Run away! It’s an attack!”
“Aaaahhh!”
A huge fire broke out in the village where Biyu was staying. It was arson. A fire deliberately started by humans.
“Waaaaah, Mother, Mother!”
“Quickly take the child and evacuate!”
“What about the Physician?”
“I’ll follow you.”
Biyu quickly handed the child she was treating to the child’s mother. The anxious woman bowed her head and ran off.
‘Was that person the last one?’
Biyu evacuated the patients first, then moved quickly. Due to her long wandering life, she wasn’t flustered at all.
‘This should still be a safe village though?’
She just felt something was strange.
Where did the Shaman go?
And shortly after, Biyu found the Shaman.
She was about to say let’s run away quickly, let’s go to another village and regroup. However, Biyu had no choice but to stop right there.
Thud.
Biyu collapsed to the ground.
Before her eyes were countless people. More precisely, they should be called corpses.
Dead.
Biyu’s gaze moved here and there before stopping at one place.
“Ah, Child…”
It was the Child that Biyu had been treating just moments ago. The Child who had been particularly difficult to treat due to her incurable disease.
The Child who had miraculously started responding to medicine and finally showed signs of recovery…
She could see that she wasn’t breathing.
She stared intently until her eyes nearly popped out, but the chest wasn’t moving.
Biyu hurriedly moved over and grabbed the Child, but it was the same.
…Dead.
Pools of blood, the stench of blood was thick everywhere.
She had witnessed countless conflicts until now, but there had never been so many corpses of women and children.
Just who, who on earth had created this mountain hell. This Village had definitely been safe.
That’s why she had stayed here.
But why. So suddenly…
Step.
Even as heavy footsteps like those of a grim reaper approached, Biyu couldn’t move.
Biyu slowly turned her head.
“There you are.”
The person standing before her was definitely the Shaman.
And as Biyu lowered her eyes, her gaze stopped at one place.
…He was holding a Blood-stained Sword.
