The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Additional Side Story Episode 6

“Unless your family members, or you yourselves, plan to live in perfect health for the rest of your lives.”

“….”

“My family members and the physicians under my command refusing to treat you all is something even I cannot control.”

Only then did they seem to understand what I meant, as the women’s faces turned pale as sheets.

What followed wasn’t much different from what I had expected. I watched the backs of the women as they hurriedly disappeared after giving their farewells.

‘They’re going to tattle to whoever’s behind this, aren’t they?’

I really hoped that whoever was pulling the strings behind this would come to their senses after this incident.

It was best not to engage with such childish provocations. This would be the first and last time I’d deal with this. Next time, I wouldn’t even respond.

‘Discrimination and territorial behavior. As if I haven’t dealt with this for just a day or two.’

Don’t underestimate a physician who has experienced all the ups and downs of life across three whole lifetimes, you damn bastards.

I clicked my tongue inwardly once and turned around.

“….”

Behind me, Shaman was still standing there. Hadn’t he left? I hadn’t sensed him moving away.

I spoke with a calm expression.

“Thank you for trying to help. But you don’t need to do that next time.”

That was all I had to say to him.

I walked past Shaman just like that.

“I knew you wouldn’t need my help.”

Just as I was about to pass by, he spoke.

“I only hope I wasn’t being presumptuous.”

“Yeah. You weren’t.”

“…And. I hope you stay healthy and happy.”

I didn’t respond to those words.

Not only did I not know what to say, but I felt that whatever answer I gave wouldn’t be the answer Shaman wanted to hear.

And so I walked away briskly, leaving the past connection behind me.

Not long after, I met Sylvester again at the garden entrance.

As if he had been running, his forehead was beaded with sweat.

“I was worried and rushed over in a hurry….”

He looked at me and then toward the pavilion visible behind me before suddenly clapping his hands.

“I’ll change my assessment. You handle things well on your own.”

“Of course. Did you think I couldn’t handle something like this?”

I shrugged my shoulders nonchalantly. Through this brief experience, I had better understood the situation Raon was in. The spiteful thoughts of those who discriminated against me.

‘Could it be that those young ladies acting this way didn’t have contempt for the current Emperor?’

A sinister smile appeared at the corner of my lips.

“Are there any families within the Imperial Capital that need to be taken care of?”

Sylvester narrowed his eyes.

“…No, not at the moment.”

“If you need to win anyone over, just let me know. I’ll at least make some good medicine for their age-related ailments.”

Sylvester smiled slightly at my joke-like comment.

“Oh… I can think of a few people who would change their tune at those words. Could you start by making some for me first?”

Even without such words, the Hei Family’s status had long since changed from the past.

The disease secretly created by the Eight Families had currently spread to some regions, causing the influential families in those areas to rack their brains in worry.

The Hei Family was sending affiliated physicians to help treat those families.

Because of this, the Hei Family’s status had been rising day by day in a short period of time.

In a world where disease was rampant due to the schemes of malicious people, no one wanted to turn their back on those who could save their lives.

While I was talking with Sylvester, Shaman passed by, but we only exchanged nods and had no further conversation.

“Anyway, there won’t be incidents like today’s ever again, Family Head.”

Hearing Sylvester’s assurance, I could only shrug my shoulders.

“It doesn’t matter if there are two or three more times. I just won’t pay them any attention.”

That night.

Just as I was about to go to bed, I received a guest. Hmm, was he a guest?

Anyway, Raon came to visit me.

“Biyu.”

He was smiling, but well. To me, it looked more like he was forcing himself to smile.

At least since becoming an adult, this was probably almost the first time Raon couldn’t maintain his smile like this in front of me.

“I heard you experienced something unpleasant during the day.”

“Huh?”

I tilted my head. Actually, when I experienced that incident during the day, I only had the realization of ‘Ah, so this must be what Mother and Sylvester were talking about.’

I wasn’t particularly displeased or upset. I just had thoughts like ‘There really are a lot of people like this in the world.’

“Something unpleasant… I’m not really sure what you’re talking about?”

So I smiled brightly.

Since it really wasn’t a big deal to me, I hoped Raon wouldn’t worry too much about it either.

Trash is trash for a reason. You just don’t need to look at it.

‘Of course, it needs to be cleaned up. According to Sylvester, the purge would happen soon too.’

Thinking that, I reached out my hand to Raon.

But that hand was firmly grasped.

It didn’t hurt, but I was slightly startled.

When I looked up, Raon was making an indescribable expression.

Then he let go of my hand, grabbed both my arms, and leaned his head against my shoulder.

I could feel him steadying his breathing.

“I wish you wouldn’t pretend to be okay in front of me, at least….”

I was startled by his voice that seemed to be holding something back.

Huh? But I really am okay?

“No, I’m really fine! That’s why I said I was okay. And when I’m not okay, I do speak up.”

“….”

“You know, when I’m having a hard time, the only person I open up to is you, Raon.”

Of course, there’s also Mother and Dad, but. The people around me love me so much that….

They have this tendency to want to pay back a hundredfold even when I experience the slightest injustice.

Of course, Raon would be the same, but there was no one who empathized with me as much as this child, and no one who made me feel more at ease when I confided in them.

I gently stroked Raon’s head.

“You were upset because it seemed like I was pretending not to be okay… But I really wasn’t.”

“….”

“We’re going to be married soon. I’d like us to be honest with each other. And I always am.”

Then Raon’s hand gently slid to my back and he hugged me tightly.

“…I only had good experiences at your Hei Family estate.”

Every time Raon visited the Hei Family estate, although Uncle and Uncle would grumble.

Both of them fundamentally liked and cared for Raon.

He was saying that he had always been treated with consideration and had enjoyed himself at the Hei Family estate.

“…I couldn’t do the same for you.”

I became a bit dumbfounded.

“What does that have to do with anything? The Hei Family estate and the Imperial Capital are different!”

The capital and the Hei Family territory are different in size from the start, and the population is even more different!

I forcibly lifted Raon’s face and then lightly pinched his pale cheek.

“You’re the one who shouldn’t have strange thoughts. And didn’t you hear through Sylvester? I handled it completely coolly. Tell me. Is the person who’s going to be your wife someone who can’t handle something like that?”

“…No, she’s not.”

“Right?”

“Yeah, he’s the most wonderful person in the world.”

Raon’s eyes drooped down, then he looked up at me with just his eyes.

“Sometimes it’s so hard for me to become even more wonderful than him…”

I burst into quiet laughter.

“Ahaha… What are you talking about.”

Instead of answering, Raon lifted his head and pressed his lips to my cheek with a soft kiss.

Kiss. Kiss kiss. My cheek, temple, forehead, chin tip, and then even my nose tip…

It tickled.

When I was waiting with a slightly fluttering and sweet heart, thinking it was finally time for my lips,

“Biyu, but I heard you met someone else today…”

Instead of my lips, I received a question.

I slowly opened my eyes again after almost closing them.

Raon had an unreadable expression. It seemed like he was smiling, maybe.

But more than that, someone else?

I stopped retracing my memories and remembered.

“Shaman… you mean Wolfsbane?”
