The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius
Additional Side Story Episode 13 (Complete)
When Uncle raised his hand, wind blew from somewhere. And grass began to bloom at Uncle’s feet.
It looked like ordinary grass, but if you looked closely, it held a faint light. From the walls, from the floor, from the ceiling. Vines and leaves grew, surrounding the magic circle.
And the light full of life force that rose from Uncle began to flow into the magic circle.
It was an enormous energy that I could feel too. It felt like entering a forest full of vitality.
‘Wow…’
Currently, I was sitting at Mother’s feet together with Raon.
“Now.”
At Uncle’s voice, I turned my head. Raon nodded.
He opened the box containing the orb.
I carefully lifted the treasure.
“Make a wish, Biyu. Like last time.”
“Yes.”
I slowly closed my eyes. Since I had done this once before, it wasn’t difficult to conjure up an intense image.
‘Mother, please save Mother…’
The First Goddess had said so.
– Good, very good. Really… you’ve saved so many people. This is the first human I’ve seen with such a long tail of good deeds.
Mother too, while she was alive, must have saved countless people like me. So if there was an absolute being who looked favorably upon the good deeds of mother and daughter.
‘Please save our Mother without any problems…’
I clasped my hands together as if praying to a god I had never believed in during my lifetime, then opened my eyes.
Strangely, unlike when I first made a wish, the orb in my hands was disappearing.
No, it would be more accurate to say it was melting and flowing down.
“Biyu.”
“Yes, I remember.”
If Uncle, who was a life mage, provided support from outside, then I, who was both a physician and mage, would assist from inside.
When Raon opened the lid of the water bottle, clean water familiar to me flowed out.
I carefully protected the ingredients so they wouldn’t touch the water and ensured nothing flowed outside.
And how much time had passed?
“…!”
I saw a body with a familiar form before my eyes.
It was Mother.
No, to be precise, it was Mother’s body.
My mouth fell open for a moment, then I hurriedly moved the water stream to bring the three types of flowers from their positions.
The bone-flesh flower on the head.
The flesh-flesh flower on the heart.
And finally… the breath-life flower on the lips.
“Haah…”
At that moment, Mother’s body exhaled. I quickly raised my head.
My eyes met with Mother in her ghost state, no, soul state.
Mother nodded and then closed her eyes. Mother’s soul scattered smoothly.
The light full of Uncle’s life force seemed to guide Mother’s soul, then settled into her body.
‘Finally, my role.’
To connect soul and body.
I raised my hand and moved the water stream. It wrapped around Mother.
I knelt down and placed my hands on the floor, then exhaled.
The strong water stream pressed firmly on Mother’s heart area. As if performing CPR.
How brilliant and beautiful life is. I watched the light that stayed by my side for a moment, then closed my eyes tightly and concentrated.
How long did I press and pour my strength into her?
“Biyu.”
At Raon’s gentle voice, I instinctively felt it. That everything was over.
I was scared to open my eyes, yet also expectant.
“It’s okay, you can open your eyes.”
At those comforting words, I slowly opened my eyes.
I could see Mother sitting on the floor. Around her, my water stream and the light containing life force remained like afterimages, drawing a rainbow.
In that picture-like scenery, a woman with light purple hair dripping with water streams.
Eyes that blinked gently.
Eyes the same color as mine, and I held back the tears that were about to surge.
As expected, I knew it would be different from seeing her semi-transparently.
“…Mo…ther.”
At my call, uttered with difficulty like a newborn baby babbling several times before finally bursting into tears, the woman before me nodded.
Very slowly but thoroughly. As if she would never let go again.
“Yes… baby.”
It was completely different from the slightly echoing voice she had in her ghost state.
It was truly a voice made by a human.
Tears leaked from me. I couldn’t hold them back.
“Our Biyu.”
Step.
Someone approached and draped a jacket over Mother’s shoulders. It was Dad.
Mother spread her arms.
“I’m truly happy to meet you again.”
I couldn’t hold back and crawled over to embrace Mother.
“Hueng, Mother. Mother…!”
Mother hugged me tightly, and Dad hugged Mother in turn.
Mother gave me one arm and held Dad with the other, closing her eyes.
It was the most beautiful and happy smile since I had seen Mother.
“Thank you so much. Our daughter…”
Mother whispered softly.
“You are the greatest physician.”
It was recognition from the most genius physician I knew, who was no different from my master.
I cried tears of happiness.
What started with just me,
became two when Dad joined,
and now became three, making it complete.
It was called family.
* * *
“…It feels like that was just yesterday.”
Two months later.
I blinked while looking at the ceiling. I couldn’t believe time had passed so quickly.
“That makes sense. Elder Sister really prepared for the wedding frantically, didn’t you? Suddenly moving up the schedule.”
“Well…”
At Ayan’s words, her hair cutely done up in twin tails, I smiled bashfully yet shyly.
Two months.
It was the fastest date we could move it up to. We had to call people from all over the Empire.
“Actually, Raon wanted to do it two weeks later.”
“Yeah, I heard. Sylvester? That minister uncle desperately tried to stop him. I even saw him going on a hunger strike. It was funny! Should I try it in front of Dad too?”
“…Don’t. Uncle will faint.”
Ayan giggled.
“Anyway, our elder sister, congratulations so much on your wedding! You must be happy!”
While saying this, she seemed to get emotional herself, as her eyes turned red.
I smiled softly and nodded.
“Yeah.”
Today was my wedding day.
‘I’ll definitely insist on only the best.’
Raon had declared this boldly, and indeed. The hall decorated with crystals was so magnificent that beauty overflowed from it.
‘It seems like he matched it with my dress.’
After much deliberation, we decided to hold the wedding over two days. The first day in the Empire’s style, and the other day according to the Hei Family’s customs, that is, the Eastern Continent’s style.
This meant there would be two wedding dresses.
For all that, I didn’t suffer much when choosing clothes except for changing outfits. But Raon had to oversee all of this while also taking care of state affairs… It must have been no small hardship.
I was newly moved and my heart trembled.
‘I’m really getting married.’
With each step I took, countless thoughts, memories, and recollections seemed to become stepping stones.
The bridge leading toward you, Raon.
The outfit I wore was a light sky-blue dress. It was a sleeveless design that came up to the neck, with jewels that might have been diamonds attached like scattered flowers and stars.
As if considering the sunlight illuminating this hall, the jewels reflected light and sparkled dazzlingly.
I smiled lightly.
When I casually mentioned I didn’t want to wear a veil, there wasn’t one.
The gloves were white.
‘I’m sure at some point, I mentioned in my previous life that I wanted to try wearing a blue dress once…’
I think he remembered this?
What should I do with my companion who keeps even casually spoken words like vows.
While walking down the Wedding Road created in the hall, I saw countless people.
Uncle and Uncle, Ayan wiping Uncle’s tears, and Brother Gyewon who was more dignified than Uncle. Uncle Undeok and Jeok Yunha, Tak Minjae. And even Grandmother and the Hei Family members…
Moreover, familiar faces like the lords I saw in childhood and Jiltester caught my eye.
Finally, at the end of the path, I faced Raon who was wearing Western Continent formal wear like me.
Dazzlingly pure white ceremonial clothes.
The uniform gorgeously embroidered with gold and silver thread formed a pair with my outfit while suiting Raon’s splendid yet pure appearance perfectly.
“Raon.”
I was grinning broadly when I hesitated.
There were listening ears, yet I had called the Emperor too familiarly.
“It’s okay.”
Raon took my hand, lowered his head, and whispered softly.
“No one will be able to interfere with or object to what you do.”
Oh, that sounds a bit tyrannical. I thought to myself and burst into laughter.
At the end of the path, we made our vows once more. The vows we had already made, staking our eternity on each other.
It was a happy, joyful, and unforgettable first day of marriage.
* * *
“Should we count today as our wedding night, or tomorrow?”
That night. I looked up at Raon while wearing thin pajamas and asked.
Raon, who was loosely wearing a robe instead of sleepwear, gazed at me intently.
When our eyes met, he smiled brightly, but somehow tension overflowed.
“Which would you prefer?”
“Uh, huh?”
“I’m fine with whichever Biyu wants.”
It was just ordinary conversation, yet my fingertips and palms were drenched with sweat.
That was probably because I… remembered someone’s words.
– How cute, did you suppress the ninth one for your companion? So adorable…
– Oh right, and don’t make your companion wait too long. That one has sexual frust…
The words the First Goddess had said.
When time passed and I had leisure to ponder them carefully, I was able to deduce what they meant.
Coincidentally, someone who knew the Divine Priestess clan well had appeared besides Mother.
My maternal uncle who came all the way to the Western Continent.
‘Right, he definitely said sexual frustration.’
Raon’s ninth tail that seemed like it would appear soon, but was nowhere to be seen.
And the words that he was enduring it for my sake.
I gulped.
“Today, let’s make it today.”
Then I firmly grasped Raon’s hand.
I felt an obvious gaze following me.
“But, but.”
“…But?”
When I sneakily opened my eyes, I happened to see Raon’s chest. Because he was wearing a robe, his firm muscles were visible in their raw state.
I tried to stay calm but realized it was hopeless.
My heart was already pounding like a drum.
“Make sure I can still attend tomorrow’s wedding…”
“What? Hahaha…!”
Raon couldn’t hold back and burst into giggles. But I was serious!
I thought of the clothes Raon would wear tomorrow. If Raon was entirely responsible for today’s wedding.
Tomorrow’s second wedding ceremony had more of my touch in it…!
Raon’s outfit was the black ceremonial robe that grooms in the Hei Family had worn for generations. Blue accents were added to it and decorated with silver.
There would also be plenty of embroidery wishing for health, longevity, and eternal happiness.
‘How much care I put into it!’
I earnestly pleaded with Raon until my face turned red.
I can still walk(?), right? I absolutely must…!
Raon gave a gentle smile and said things like “yes, of course, naturally.”
And the moment I felt relieved.
My body tilted and fell backward.
“As long as you can just walk, right?”
…Huh.
Feeling hands entering under my thin pajamas, goosebumps rose but the touch felt mysteriously pleasant, and I sensed something was wrong.
But it was already too late.
“Mmm…”
The moment our lips overlapped, everything became blurred and disappeared. Along with the thought that it probably didn’t matter anyway.
“Raon, I love you.”
“Yeah. Biyu. That’s probably the words I most want to say and…”
Kiss. Our lips touched.
“The words I’ll whisper forever.”
I love you.
On the night when meteors fell abundantly and starlight was embroidered across the sky. Without seeing the Milky Way and shooting stars that the Empire’s people admired.
I spent a hot, peaceful, and passionate night.
Together with my companion who will be with me from now on.
I became certain.
That I will be happy forever with you.
