The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 223

Mother and Father were holding me. Even Mother, knowing she couldn’t touch me, spread her arms to embrace me.

My lips trembled violently.

“Sob, Family Head!!”

“Catch them right now! Everyone draw your swords!”

“Hey! Biyu, Hei Biyu!!!”

The moment I heard the voices, I snapped back to my senses. I had to pull myself together.

I barely managed to lift my eyes.

“Cough…”

I saw Dad’s face. In just a moment, he had become a mess. Dirt and unidentifiable black powder were smeared all over him.

When Dad coughed up blood, I was struck with fear.

“D-Dad!”

“I’m fine… hah.”

Despite my attempt at courage, my eyes shook violently. Even so, Dad’s arms holding me didn’t loosen.

“Are you really, really okay…?”

“Dad, let go, please let go of this!!”

I struggled, but Dad’s arms still wouldn’t release me. The more Dad coughed up blood, the more my heart pounded.

‘Is it bleeding from the shock?’

I had to stay calm. I had to stay calm, but…!

I barely managed to regain my composure.

Even biting down hard, I still trembled.

Dad’s arms very slowly lowered me down.

“Thank goodness… our Daughter… isn’t hurt…”

Dad smiled faintly.

“Why, why…? Why did you save me without thinking about your own body, Dad, why!”

I should be saying thank you. Dad is strong, he’s a great ability user and a warrior, so he’ll be fine.

I should be able to save him.

But my body just kept trembling.

As if facing death itself. My heart was beating wildly. My breathing became rough.

“Do you… remember? You thanked me for helping the Father who abandoned you, who threw you away…”

Dad spoke with forced effort, as if he knew it himself.

“You’re bleeding, you shouldn’t talk. Don’t do it, okay? Don’t, first let me…”

“Biyu…”

I shook my head frantically, trying to avoid the intuition that struck like lightning.

“Don’t say it, I said don’t say it!”

“A chance to repay, cough, thank you for giving me….”

Damn it. Even in this situation, I remembered what he was saying. Because I remember every single word Dad says!

‘You came to find the father who abandoned you, who thought he had abandoned you, and helped him.’

‘I’m grateful for giving me a chance to repay you. And I hope you’ll let me repay you for the rest of my life.’

What I agreed to wasn’t for this kind of moment. I didn’t want this.

I didn’t want this!

Even in this chaos, remembering all these words while my brain was in turmoil made my heart feel like it was being torn apart.

I had been concerned about it.

I knew. That I had constantly been concerned about Dad abandoning me.

Even though it wasn’t his intention, he felt sorry for leaving me with wounds.

And that he loved me so much he would unconsciously sacrifice his own body willingly.

I knew it all.

“Biyu, are you okay….”

“Yes, I’m okay. I’m fine, so let go!!”

Tears burst forth. The moment the explosion happened, I would have been the first to die. Dad must have taken the full impact with his entire body.

Dust floating in the air, Dad’s faint smile, dark red blood dripping down. Even the tears streaming down.

“…You also, risked your life to, save me….”

Dad smiles. Like it’s his last smile.

Everything seemed to pass by slowly in slow motion. It felt surreal, like it wasn’t reality.

Just seeing that I was unharmed, I could tell. That Dad, who manipulates wind, had truly done his absolute best.

I gritted my teeth even harder.

‘No, it’s okay. He’s not dead yet.’

As long as Dad doesn’t die, I can save him.

I can’t waver.

– Hei Biyu! Baby!!

Only then did I hear other voices. For a moment, I was so focused on Dad that I couldn’t hear any other sounds.

“Mother. Dad is….”

It’s my fault.

I should have thought that the Crown Prince might do something even after his last resort was blocked.

I foolishly assumed he was incompetent, nothing but a corpse except for his arrogance.

Even insects spit poison when stepped on…! I, who was once weak, ignored that.

It was because I was too happy. Happiness made me complacent.

The moment I saw Mother’s face, I had to hold back my tears. Even though I knew this wasn’t the time to cry.

– It’s okay, it’s okay, baby…!

Mother’s hand passed through my cheek. I could see Mother biting her lips tightly.

– Baby, just regaining consciousness is amazing. Our Daughter, you need to stay focused!

“….”

– Your father’s, Bihu’s condition is serious.

I nodded with a stern expression.

– This Mother can only tell you things, I can’t do anything else. You have to do it. You have to save Bihu.

She was right.

I am a Physician.

‘Get it together, get it together Hei Biyu!’

If Dad saved me, then now I have to save Dad.

I slowly raised my gaze.

“Thank you, Mother.”

Mother’s eyes, which I faced directly, were full of guilt. It was the pain of one who couldn’t protect anything because she was a ghost.

“If I treat Dad, it will be thanks to you, Mother.”

External injuries are easier than incurable diseases of unknown cause, right?

The trembling in my hands was subsiding. I pulled down my sleeve and wiped the sweat on my clothes.

“Bam-bam…”

The Baby Snake that was always wrapped around my wrist poked its head out.

Thank goodness, you’re safe too.

I swallowed my tears and raised my head.

The Smoke was settling. People collapsed on the Floor, people holding onto their comrades… Even someone taking Command and Leadership amid the chaos was visible.

“Damn it, everyone snap out of it! Nobody died! Huh? You’ll die if you lose the Barrier? We knew about the explosion so reinforcements will arrive!”

The one commanding was Hei Birang.

What a reliable sight.

When my eyes met Little Uncle’s, he opened his eyes wide. A look of relief appeared on his face.

This was brief, as his face became serious the moment he saw Dad. I nodded as if to say I was okay.

“Little Uncle, I’m going to treat Dad. Please calm down the people’s confusion.”

Though we were apart, it was close enough for Little Uncle, an excellent warrior, to hear. When I told him to calm the confusion, he was running this way though.

In the midst of all this, the Barrier separating the Imperial Palace Special Forces and our side hadn’t collapsed. The aftermath of the bomb hadn’t reached that far.

Where the Crown Prince had been, something like a giant Dirt Mound was visible.

I stared at it quietly, then quickly turned around.

“Cough, there, please lay Dad down.”

“Yes, yes!”

I had the Warriors who came running to me in confusion lay Dad face down.

The moment I saw Dad’s back, a sigh escaped. His skin was deeply gouged and in terrible condition.

I began Diagnosis without delay.

Soon I bit my lips tightly and commanded.

“Bring all the Medicinal Herbs we left in the Barracks, right now!”

“Yes, yes!”

“I, I’ll go call a Physician…!!”

Fortunately, there were Ingredients I always kept on hand, and thanks to Bam-bam, there were things I had like in a subspace.

‘Let’s start with First Aid!’

Right now, saving Dad was the top priority.

I grabbed a Bottle and sprinkled Water, then wet my Hand.

‘At least it’s fortunate that I can treat him…’

And the moment the water surged up.

Huh…

– Baby?

The water became cloudy. I heard Mother’s puzzled voice from beside me, but I couldn’t answer.

Drip drip drip.

“…Huh?”

I slowly wiped my mouth. It was blood. No matter how much I wiped, it kept flowing down.

Why am I bleeding? Is it internal injury? No, no.

This is…

It was a symptom that appeared when one’s lifespan was coming to an end.

‘I definitely took the medicine though?’

It was a symptom that had improved after taking the medicine Mother prepared. But why?

I could think of one thing.

I lift my gaze.

Mother’s eyes have widened. Perhaps even more than when Dad was injured.

Mother, who is as excellent as I am, has realized the situation.

– Oh no, no. This can’t be…!

Mother’s expression, which had remained calm even when Dad was injured, contorted for the first time.

Mother screams.

– Why, why now of all times! No, baby!!

At the same time, I realized.

No, it was an instinctive realization. Without being conscious of it, my body had become so weak that even the medicine Mother gave me couldn’t protect it.

My worn-out vital energy and life force.

‘Ah.’

Yes, my lifespan has come to an end.

‘Damn it, why now of all times…!!’

I clicked my tongue inwardly.

I was calmer than I thought. At least this was more familiar than seeing Dad in a mess.

– Biyu! No, no! No!!

My vision became hazy. I tried to force my eyes open to look at Dad. I steadied the water stream that was about to collapse.

I am a physician and I will never turn away from the important patient before my eyes.

‘This will probably be my last patient.’

I must treat him. Otherwise… I’ll miss the golden time.

‘Mother can’t lose both Dad and me at the same time.’

For such an absurd reason, I can’t lose Dad.

‘Sorry Dad.’

I thought there would be enough time until Raon returned. Even I didn’t expect this.

‘When you open your eyes, I might not be here.’

I guess I’m an unfilial daughter. I smiled bitterly inwardly and put strength into my bending fingers.

For some reason, Raon came to mind next. And Uncle too.

Raon had said when he came back, let’s eat something delicious together, just the two of us….

You said you had something to tell me. I was curious about what that was too.

“Hey, Hei Biyu? You, why are you like this? Why, why are you coughing up blood…?! Are, are you hurt? Are you injured?!”

“Be quiet… My, my head is ringing. Cough.”

Before I knew it, Little Uncle had also approached and was pressing me, but I couldn’t hear him.

Only the thought that I had to treat Dad.

Dad’s body was submerged in a sphere made of water. Water streams wrapped in familiar light flowed back and forth as emergency treatment was performed.

Had there ever been a time when I was more grateful for always keeping medicinal herbs on hand than now?

As the treatment progressed, a smile appeared on my lips. I forcibly held back the rising cough.

If things continued like this, maybe there would be more time.

But perhaps that was just wishful thinking.

I felt my vision slowly crumbling. No, no.

“Cough…!”

Blood burst out. No, inside I felt like the blood was drying up. I could feel my heartbeat slowing down.

I wanted to see my people one last time. Uncle and the warriors all looked panicked, but I etched them into my eyes.

I could also see Mother emitting white light, trying to do something.

‘Don’t cry, Mother….’

I had known the end for a long time already, and I had tried my best, so I wanted to tell her it was okay.

Just as my vision was fading away like that….

“…!”

At the edge of my sight, I saw the dirt mound where the Crown Prince had been cracking and breaking apart.

For some reason, I could see flashing eyes through the gaps. The Crown Prince’s eyes.

They seemed more like those of a beast than a human. As if consumed by something.

‘Was he alive?’

Even in my dying moment, I felt something strange about his eyes. He was the one who had burned his own body and detonated the bomb at the end.

Moreover, the bomb had only dealt a fatal blow to Dad, and there were still plenty of people alive here.

The Crown Prince’s eyes curved wickedly like a monster’s. And the dirt mound moved. Was I the only one seeing this?

No, everyone was too focused on me to notice! I had to let them know… Even in the moment I felt the sense of crisis, I couldn’t do anything.

No, if I die….

It was the moment I tried to squeeze out strength to do something even in death.

Something soft landed on my shoulder.

A warm sensation like a bird perching. I knew this feeling.

“Biyu.”

At the same time, vitality miraculously returned to my body that had been like a robot with its power cut off.

It felt like someone was breathing life force into me.

When I glanced back slightly, I thought I glimpsed pure white hair swaying.

“He’s come out.”

Leaving behind that gentle and tearfully nostalgic voice.

The moment my strength returned, I withdrew the diagnostic power that had been confining Dad.

‘Will this work?’

The power of Diagnosis is to confine people with water. If the Crown Prince inside that dirt mound is still human.

Without hesitation, I confined the entire dirt mound with water, including the man inside the grave.

“Cough!”

– Biyu!

“Hei Biyu!!”

Perhaps realizing what I was trying to do, people finally looked toward the dirt mound.

“What are you doing! Cough, I can’t hold it for long!”

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard Raon’s voice that I had missed so much.

“I’ll help you, Biyu.”

At the same time, I felt a familiar sensation.

The sensation of Raon’s power supporting and amplifying my strength.

Without delay, I summoned more water.

Boom!

Whoooosh!

At the same time, a massive water pillar shot up.

The dirt mound that had just begun to burst was completely submerged in the enormous water stream.

The water stream that soared into the sky.

I had seen this before.

‘I… can do something like this too.’

The massive water pillar I had made rise in the plague village.

Back then, with ‘someone’s’ help, I had created that and wielded power at its peak.

Though it was a power that could be used neither for attack nor defense. It was my power, yet it swallowed the explosion as if it weren’t my power at all.

‘It worked.’

Seeing a mage step forward among the warriors, I let out a sigh of relief.

I swallowed my exhale and slowly turned my eyes.

Very familiar, yet beautiful golden eyes curved the moment they saw me.

Looking at those eyes, tears welled up for some reason, and I held them back tightly.

“I’m sorry.”

It was Raon.

Had he grown a bit bigger while I hadn’t seen him? Strangely, he seemed more mature than when we parted.

Raon tightly embraced my staggering body.

“I’m glad I wasn’t too late…”

Being held breathlessly in his warm and cozy embrace, I felt a sense of security.

“No.”

My body was overflowing with strength. I didn’t know why, but since this happened when Raon held me.

I would be able to hear an explanation soon.

“Thanks to you, it seems I can save Dad.”

The moment I saw this child, everything became alright.

Even though it wasn’t over yet, it felt as if all endings, all peace had come before my eyes.

The tears I had been holding back flowed down my cheeks.

“Thank you. And I missed you.”

I smiled.

“You’re not hurt anywhere, are you?”
