The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Additional Side Story Episode 12

In a way, it meant I had ended up telling Uncle a lie that it was ‘needed for research.’

Even so, I became confident that Uncle would honestly listen to what I had to say.

Above all, those wavering eyes, the face that showed confusion followed by despair, was not telling lies.

“That is…”

His endlessly noble and blunt voice trembled finely.

“My sister, my youngest… You’re saying she died…?”

His eyes turned red as if tears would fall at any moment. The bloodshot eyes were pitiful to see.

Even if it wasn’t quite like Dad who had lost Mother that I had seen before, I could feel the shock of losing family completely.

At the same time, I felt like I glimpsed how much Uncle had cherished Mother.

I slowly opened my mouth.

“She died but didn’t die.”

Mother’s condition could only be described this way.

“I’m sorry, I’m truly sorry that I had to lie partially to obtain the ingredients.”

“No, no. That’s not important.”

“Thank you. And to save Mother…”

I pressed my lips tightly together then opened them.

“I absolutely need Uncle’s help. Precisely, I need a life mage’s help.”

“…!!”

As if it was difficult to digest the continuous information bombardment, Uncle closed his eyes with his hand on his forehead.

“How do you know that information, no, no… When you asked for those three flowers, I should have thought of that from then.”

Uncle rubbed his face.

“I must have become dulled by boredom under my parents too.”

When he opened his eyes again, Uncle had a somewhat calmed expression.

“Will you show me your mother…, Arin? Surely there must be a grave here or at the Hei Family Territory…”

“No, you don’t need to go all the way to the Hei Family Estate.”

I recalled one thing.

The ingredients to save Mother – I carried these wherever I went, thinking I might need to use them anytime, anywhere.

Naturally, I brought them when coming to the Imperial Capital too.

“I’ll let you meet Mother. You’ll probably be able to have a conversation too.”

“…What?”

That afternoon.

In the innermost part of the Imperial Capital, in the palace where no one could enter carelessly. Even within that, several people gathered in the deepest and most secret room.

Mother, who could be called the protagonist among them, covered her mouth and couldn’t say anything.

She seemed sad, and seemed to have lost her words.

She also seemed angry.

“Arin.”

When Dad, worried about Mother, reached out his hand, Mother floated and nestled into Dad’s embrace.

I could see the trembling in Mother’s hands subside.

– What is… this.

“Baek Arin.”

– …

At Uncle’s call, Mother pressed her lips tightly together.

“You… stubborn thing.”

– …

“How could you, until you died. Not contact me even once…!”

Uncle gritted his teeth as if barely suppressing his emotions, then exhaled. I could see veins bulging on the side of his neck.

Dad tensed up as if ready to fight at any moment.

‘It doesn’t seem like they’ll fight. If they do fight, I should ask Raon to stop them.’

Raon stood beside me, witnessing Mother and Uncle’s reunion together.

“Parents aside, you could have told me, this brother…! You heartless thing, I couldn’t leave home once in case you contacted me…”

My eyes widened.

Because moisture dripped from under Uncle’s hand that was rubbing his face.

“Don’t I know your stubbornness and personality? I thought someday, whether it took 10 years or 20 years. You would travel as much as you wanted and then contact me.”

Mother’s mouth moved. Finally, her voice flowed out.

– …Brother.

“How could you make me hear that my so dearly cherished sister doesn’t even have a corpse…”

Until now, I had wondered why Mother’s family, why the relatives on her side didn’t look for Mother. Why they didn’t even make inquiries.

Then I tentatively thought that Mother probably didn’t have a good relationship with her family either.

But at least one person wasn’t like that, it seemed.

Uncle collapsed to his knees. Mother left Dad’s embrace and sat in front of Uncle. Before I knew it, Mother’s eyes had also turned red.

– I’m sorry, Brother…

“…”

– I knew you were there, but still… since our parents were there. I thought you would hate me too, Brother… Then I thought you would forget, *sob*, I thought you would forget…

“How could I ever hate you.”

The room was cluttered with various objects and ingredients.

They were all ingredients to save Mother. And even the most important treasure.

Before that, I waited until the siblings who met after a long time could compose their emotions.

And when the time came.

I smiled brightly looking at Mother who was a mess from tears. Of course, watching made my eyes slightly red too.

“Mother, I’m sorry for not listening…”

I had never properly apologized or asked for forgiveness from Mother while she was alive, so I felt awkward and embarrassed, but why.

Even this situation felt good. It seemed good to have a Mother I could do this with.

– No.

Mother smiled with tears hanging in her eyes.

That appearance was just like Mother’s girlhood that I couldn’t glimpse, making my heart ache a little.

– This time not listening was the right thing to do. As expected, our daughter is different. Much better than Mother.

I wiped away the tears that were about to fall and nodded vigorously.

“Yes!”

I took Raon’s hand and walked briskly toward Uncle and Mother.

Mother also seemed to notice the room’s scenery now and expressed her question.

– I thought you brought me here because of Brother Aryun… But looking carefully, that’s not the only reason.

“Yes, that’s right. No. Of course I wanted to show you to Uncle too.”

I winked at Uncle. Uncle, who had cried with us, cleared his throat and slightly turned his gaze away.

How cute.

I explained to Mother and Dad who still didn’t understand the situation.

“From now on, I’m going to save Mother.”

– What…?

“Is that really true?”

Dad, who had been silent until now, reacted so strongly that he stepped forward.

I continued my explanation. As the explanation flowed out, Mother and Dad’s expressions changed moment by moment.

Especially Dad’s expression was dramatic.

‘Wow, this time Dad’s going to cry.’

Of course, it wasn’t particularly surprising.

The past Dad I had glimpsed from Dad’s memories long ago was truly nothing short of a doting wife-fool younger husband.

It’s not different now either. But the shock back then was quite big.

“Anyway, this is how we’re going to save Mother. Uncle said he’d help too.”

– Ah….

A single tear streamed down from Mother’s left eye.

“Mother, now you’ll be able to hug me with a warm body.”

– ….

“You can participate in my wedding too.”

I smiled brightly. Mother smiled and lowered her head. She was crying and laughing at the same time.

– Yes…, okay. Let’s do that.

The method to revive a person that some Divine Priestess created. What needed to be done when all the ingredients were gathered wasn’t as difficult as I thought.

I just had to draw a magic technique circle symbolizing circulation and arrange the ingredients in order according to the five elements and ten celestial stems.

Mother was floating gently in the center of the magic technique circle. Below Mother’s feet was a box containing the urn and orb.

“Biyu, shall we begin?”

“Yes. What about Uncle?”

Uncle also nodded.

“…Let’s start.”
