The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 210

My eyes widened greatly.

I wondered for a moment if I had misheard, but the face standing before me remained upright and motionless.

“What kind of nonsense are you talking about.”

I didn’t mishear, did I?

For reference, I absolutely hate this kind of sacrificial spirit. I’m saying this because I’ve been a sacrificial lamb before, and I’ve also been someone that others devoted themselves to and sacrificed for.

I was done with all of that.

“Biyu. Let me explain…”

“No, I don’t want to hear it.”

After cutting him off firmly, I stared at Raon. But since he wouldn’t meet my eyes, I raised my hands.

I grabbed both of Raon’s cheeks with my hands and fixed his gaze. Making him look at me even if I had to force it.

Startled.

Raon flinched.

The cheeks in my hands seemed to warm up slightly, but I couldn’t tell if it was my heat or Raon’s.

“Let me tell you something while we’re at it.”

I spoke clearly and distinctly.

“I’m absolutely not letting you go.”

I won’t regret it anymore.

Of course, even so, I might make mistakes and do wrong things and regret them again.

But I’ll try anything I can.

“Got it? I’m absolutely not letting you go.”

“…Biyu.”

“If you go, we go together.”

“…”

“Being alone is lonely.”

Raon’s eyes, which were always calm or relaxed, shook mercilessly. His eyelashes were long and purely clear, so I could feel the trembling very well.

Embarrassment settled like fallen leaves on Raon’s pure cheeks and eyes as he looked at me carefully, turning them red.

“Yeah…”

Raon seemed to understand, so I tried to lower my hands, but before I could, Raon’s hands covered mine.

I knew it already, but his hands were much larger than mine. I blinked my eyes.

Now even if I wanted to pull away, my escape route was blocked by Raon’s hands holding mine.

“But why?”

“Huh, what?”

“Why won’t you let me go?”

“Well, that’s…”

“Because we’re friends?”

“R-right?”

How could he be just an ordinary friend? He was my first friend in this life, my benefactor, and not just a simple friend but someone as important as family.

“Well, you know.”

Raon spoke quietly as if in silence. Even though his voice was small, I could hear it clearly.

It wasn’t simply because we were close in distance.

“Couldn’t you become someone even more precious?”

Eyes that had been trembling prettily and pitifully slowly looked down at me. Eyelashes that swayed like flower petals were so beautiful.

No, the eyes looking down at me, and the straight nose with its tip slightly tinged pink. The well-shaped pink lips that were moving softly.

Even the snow-white face.

Everything was beautiful and lovely as if it didn’t belong to this world.

I suddenly realized why Hei Birang used to shout that he was like a fox, whether it was a curse or praise. It wasn’t wrong since he actually was a fox.

Because I was truly feeling it now.

And belatedly, I slowly understood what Raon had said.

I moved my lips slightly.

Certainly, I was emotionally slower compared to my peers. But that didn’t mean I had… no awareness at all.

I suddenly recalled the things that had happened with Raon. There were often times when our faces naturally drew close.

And…

My fingertips tingled.

Even so.

“…Sorry. I’m not sure about that.”

It wasn’t simply because I had known Raon since childhood. He had grown so much that those memories were now fading.

It was just.

“No, I’ve never thought of you in that way.”

Right. I had never thought about it even once.

It was right after Shaman had visited… I couldn’t think about the relationship Raon was hoping for even more.

Though it was a scar that no longer affected me, a wound was still a wound. One that caused pain and phantom aches.

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay.”

Raon gently shook his head while still holding my hand. Despite being rejected, Raon only looked dejected and didn’t say anything more.

“Sorry. I was too hasty too.”

His pretty eye corners drooped weakly. I felt a shock as if lightning had struck the entire world.

No, I felt as if the world had ended. It seemed like an exaggeration, but it was true.

Had I made this kind child sad? He seemed hurt, so how should I comfort him? Even knowing I was the cause, I felt like doing anything for him.

I took a deep breath.

He had such a long life ahead of him, couldn’t Raon meet someone better?

But I didn’t have much time left. If even that short time would be okay, then to make Raon happy.

‘…Should we date?’

Having thought this far, I trembled slightly.

I must be crazy. What was I just thinking?

This would be rude to Raon too.

“Biyu.”

While I was feeling confused, deep eyes captured me. Somehow Raon’s eyes seemed deeper than usual today.

I flinched at his eyes that curved as if he had made up his mind while looking at me. It wasn’t even an attack with his face…

I had nowhere to look because of his extremely pure yet radiant smile.

“I know very well that you find me cute.”

“…”

“As if you’re older than me.”

That couldn’t be helped. I’m a Regressor after all.

“That’s fine though. But… don’t just find me cute.”

Raon’s waist bent. His face came a little closer. The hand that was touching mine pressed even more tightly against me. I could feel Raon’s pulse beating rapidly from his wrist.

It was so loud it seemed like it might transfer to me.

I kept my mouth tightly shut.

“I’d like you to look at me better.”

His secretive voice. His gentle tone was so pleasant to hear that my ears were tickled to the point of madness.

“Both you and I. We’re adults.”

I know.

I know, but.

This seems to be the first time it hit me like this. I swallowed down words I couldn’t say.

Since Raon soon let go of my hand, I was free, but. I had to feel as if I’d been caught for a long time.

In the resumed meeting, Shaman was temporarily absent.

So Mother was also revealing herself visibly to everyone’s eyes.

As soon as the meeting started, Raon raised his hand. Then he spoke calmly.

“I’ve thought about it seriously, and I think it would be best for me to go to the Imperial Palace.”

It was words directed at everyone except me. Everyone except Dad opened their eyes wide.

Among them, Mother, who worried about Raon the most, had the most surprised face.

– My goodness, why?

Mother, who used to speak formally calling him Divine Maiden’s Clan, had finally started speaking casually after years of Raon’s requests.

“Raon.”

“Biyu. You’re definitely going to the Imperial Palace, right?”

Raon also knows the reason why I have to go to the Imperial Palace.

Currently, we’re preventing Dad’s illness from worsening and he’s showing gradual improvement. But we don’t know when it might get worse again.

We need to treat it before it gets any later.

“Yes. I’m going.”

And this was also my wish.

‘There isn’t much time.’

“I’m not bringing this up to tell you not to go to the Imperial Palace, Biyu.”

Raon said something a bit strange. I chose to listen carefully instead of making the rebuttal I was about to make.

“What are you trying to say?”

“I am, after all. A member of the Imperial Family, aren’t I?”

Raon smiled bitterly for a moment. It was a face that no one could comfort with words.

“For the first time, this feels useful.”

“Raon.”

“Instead of you going to the Imperial Palace full of traps, how about I go there and bring back what Biyu wants?”

I opened my eyes wide. Someone took a sharp breath. It was Brother Gyewon.

“Huh?”

Little Uncle couldn’t hold back and let out an absurd exclamation.

“Raon. That’s.”

“Don’t just oppose it unconditionally, think about it, Biyu. It’s too dangerous to go to a place full of traps. You know well that it’s not just you who becomes endangered.”

“….”

“And I know well that you’d choose to put yourself in danger rather than let someone precious to you fall into danger.”

“Wow. You interpret things well.”

Hei Birang couldn’t hold back and agreed. I glared at Uncle for a moment before turning my gaze away.

“It’s not wrong.”

Even Dad added a word.

“I also don’t want you to go, but according to the words of our home’s two precious people, I have no right to speak.”

The two people were naturally me and Mother. I frowned.

I don’t go and instead send Raon to that dangerous Imperial Palace?

‘As expected, I’m against it.’

But the problem was Raon.

That face, I know it well from seeing it for so long. Our Raon. If I opposed here, he looked like he’d sneak out and go anyway.

‘Did I raise my fox lord wrong?’

Having this thought, I chuckled.

I tapped the table. As if giving me time, no one spoke up.

“It’s still too dangerous.”

Raon’s face darkened. I didn’t cut off my words and quickly continued.

“…So if we empty the Imperial Capital. Would that make you less endangered?”

Raon’s eyes, who was about to say something, widened. It wasn’t just Raon.

“Oh. An interesting opinion.”

Uncle, who had been watching with a pleased smile, opened his mouth.

“How? Are you trying to draw those guys with heavy bottoms outside?”

“Yeah. That shouldn’t be too difficult.”

I lowered my gaze indifferently.

“Even if they don’t want to come out, I just need to wave the right bait to make them come out.”

I pulled up the corners of my mouth.

For example…. Something like the ‘Immortality Elixir’?

For example… something like an ‘elixir of immortality’?
