The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 202

Only silence flowed through the room.

After quietly exchanging glances, the Shaman was the first to speak.

“First, let me tell you about my situation.”

I had a guess about what he was going to say. Hadn’t he already revealed it with his own mouth?

‘You appeared in that dream, Hei Biyu.’

That he had dreamed.

“As I revealed, I had dreams where you appeared.”

I crossed my arms. I planned not to say anything until at least his story was finished.

“As for when it started… it’s been a long time. I’ve been having them since I was very young.”

When he mentioned the age when he first had the dream, I inwardly flinched. It was earlier than the age when he and I first met in the third life.

“When I was young, you also appeared young in the dreams.”

He pinpointed exactly the age when we first met.

I clicked my tongue inwardly. It seemed like he had dreamed of the third life, but I couldn’t understand what this was all about.

“At first the dreams would fade away, but at some point they started staying in my memory. And as I grew up… you grew up too.”

The Shaman stopped speaking and looked down at his wrist. It was a hand thinner than I remembered.

“In the dreams… what you used to treat me was shown in great detail.”

I recalled the day I treated the Shaman.

Happy that he properly acknowledged me, I saw a foolish girl who chattered away about ingredients and medicine-making methods she didn’t even know well.

I clicked my tongue inwardly.

The Shaman smiled faintly.

“Thanks to that, I was able to prolong my life until today.”

The Shaman removed his hands from the table, placed his hand on his chest, and bowed politely.

“Thanks to you. Thank you.”

I thought his head was quite light for someone who was the heir to one of the Empire’s top families.

No, I soon honestly admitted it. It was probably because I wanted to view everything cynically.

“So you came to give thanks?”

The Shaman smiled. It was a strange expression.

“Living my life, I wanted to see you in person and have a conversation.”

“…”

“And I was curious about what exactly the identity of these dreams was.”

That was understandable. If clumsily copying what the young physician in his dreams did had improved his condition.

I would have been curious too.

“It was too vivid to dismiss as mere illusion. When I heard one day that there was a girl with the same name in the Hei Family Estate, I wanted to meet you even more.”

I glared at the man.

“Then, did you also learn the hand signals you showed me as soon as you saw me in your dreams?”

“Yes.”

Shaman hesitated a bit before nodding. He had a troubled expression.

“It was a gamble. I wondered if perhaps, you might recognize it…”

His gaze wandered for the first time, unable to look at me directly.

“I never imagined you would react like this. I apologize if I was rude.”

“What about when you smiled when I grabbed you by the collar? What was that composure about?”

If he had been flustered, these things couldn’t be explained.

“…I was raised as the heir of Wolfsbane. Bluffing, I also have the habit of smiling like a reflex to maintain composure in any situation. I apologize if this was also discourteous.”

“…”

I couldn’t withdraw my sharp gaze as I stared at him, then let out a small sigh.

Even after hearing his explanation, there were doubts that remained unresolved. But it wasn’t completely unreasonable either.

Honestly speaking, I didn’t want to waste the energy on him to resolve each doubt one by one.

“…”

Besides this, Shaman told me several more stories. After hearing everything, I finally came to a conclusion.

Another exhale flowed out.

‘So in the end, he’s saying he’s a different person.’

The strength left my clenched fist. What would be the point of bringing up old grudges in front of someone who came to resolve doubts?

A hollow laugh escaped.

“Isn’t it strange.”

Shaman, who had been watching me quietly, spoke.

“After having those dreams, I sometimes felt like I had become a different person. Me, but not me.”

“…”

When I didn’t respond, Shaman gazed toward the window for a moment.

The sky was disgustingly clear. The midday of the day that bastard caused trouble had also been clear like that.

“Actually, at first I thought about using a request to treat an illness as an excuse to meet you.”

“You would use illness as the reason for meeting.”

“Yes.”

Eyes that seemed sharp yet gently drooped turned toward me.

“But as I got closer to this land, what I learned was similar yet different from your appearance and the evaluations I heard about you in my dreams.”

Of course it would be. The me from that time was the most pessimistic and cold throughout all my lives.

In that life, only one person mattered to me.

I tensed my mouth to prevent a sneer from escaping.

“That’s why I wanted to see for myself even more.”

A breath flowed out. This was the third sigh. In the internal wind that flowed out, I pulled up the corners of my mouth.

I felt the knot that had loosened inside me tighten again.

“Well, now you’ve seen enough.”

On the table in this room, tea and snacks had been prepared since I entered. However, no one had touched them.

I smoothly rose from my seat.

“What do you want? Treatment?”

In the end, he wasn’t the Shaman I knew from the 3rd cycle. And he was still an incurable patient in this life too. I thought what he wanted was definitely this.

The Shaman, who had been silent for a moment, moved his lips. An expression like he had something he wanted to say.

“…If I said I wanted to receive it. Would you do it?”

I looked at the air for a moment.

‘Mother, you know… Among the incurable diseases I’ve seen, there was this kind of illness…’

A few years ago, I had brought up his illness to Mother. It wasn’t for any big reason.

Just like with Dad’s illness, I wondered if there might have been another way for his disease too.

You remained a treacherous betrayer until the end, but even though I might have wavered briefly when you left, unlike you, I wanted to remain a physician true to myself until the very end.

“Yeah. I’ll do it.”

“…”

“Because you’re a patient.”

I will not change in the future either.

“In my family, all patients are equal.”

The Shaman slowly raised his head. Various emotions crossed the man’s face. I couldn’t recognize them, and didn’t feel they were worth recognizing.

He soon smiled wryly.

For a moment I flinched because it was exactly like the smile in my memory, but it was a mistake. It was a slightly softer and more refined smile, a nobleman’s smile.

“I’m sorry. Actually… I lied.”

“…What?”

My eyebrows furrowed.

“About having something I absolutely wanted to say before dying.”

“…”

“I thought if I said this, you might give me time to talk. Since you’ve disliked me so much from our first meeting… Of course, I can guess the reason.”

I narrowed my eyes.

Was this provocation? But his tone was too calm.

“In reality, my illness has been completely cured. Thanks to meeting a capable physician half a year ago.”

Events change with each cycle. Just like how Ayan suddenly disappeared in the 3rd cycle and someone else became the Family Head.

There was no law saying he couldn’t receive treatment in the 4th cycle just because I wasn’t by his side. I don’t know which physician was so much more amazing than me to cure him like a miracle though.

The Shaman stood up from his seat.

“Now that I’ve met you, I’ll be going.”

He gazed at me with that same smiling face.

“If I’m leaving this territory, you naturally wouldn’t stop me, right? Unless you happen to need the Wolfsbane heir’s person for something.”

I didn’t answer.

The Shaman rummaged through his coat with neat movements, then placed a piece of paper on the table.

“Please take this.”

It was neatly folded paper.
