The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius
Chapter 25
Hei Biwon still had a smiling face, but shadows fell across it.
The closer the brothers got, the more Hei Biwon’s eyes gleamed.
“You know, I thought you would have taken measures.”
His younger brother Hei Bihu was a warrior, but he was also an exceptionally intelligent person. That’s how he had discovered his own illness early on.
“I thought your child was living well in the Main Hall.”
That was right.
He who had confined himself to his dwelling, to the warehouse, and was occasionally used as a butcher, didn’t know.
How pitifully his niece had been living. Anger surged toward his younger brother who hadn’t even taken such basic measures.
How terribly the younger brother and his wife had cherished each other.
They had even eloped for love.
‘Not only did he forget his wife whom he loved to death…’
A large hand came up over Hei Biwon’s clenched teeth.
Hei Bihu smiled coldly.
“What do you want me to do? She’s a daughter I don’t even remember.”
“…”
“If I can’t remember her, then she’s not my daughter.”
A blade-like wind blew between the two men.
“But still, I’ve decided to do whatever I can. I’ll do my best for that child. That alone should be enough, shouldn’t it?”
“She says she’ll cure you?”
“…”
Hei Bihu didn’t answer, but his silence was affirmation.
“Since hyung is saying that much, I get the general idea.”
Seeing his older brother get so worked up, that little one really must be his daughter.
“Even if I remember, I’ll forget again someday. Now whose misfortune would that be, hyung?”
“…”
“Doing our best as strangers might be the best for both of us.”
“You’re disgustingly beating around the bush about wanting to be treated and cured by your three-year-old daughter.”
Instead of getting angry at his ignorant younger brother, Hei Biwon smiled viciously, showing his canine teeth.
“Well, our little brother, you son of a bitch. Hyung hopes you’ll regret this.”
Though he was cursed at to his face, Hei Bihu remained calm. His older brother had been this kind of person for a long time.
Soon a beautiful smile, as if painted, crossed Hei Bihu’s face.
“It seems she treated hyung a bit too.”
That’s when it happened.
Below, Hei Biyu and Hei Gyewon were looking at the field. A group approaching the two children came into view.
‘Until yesterday….’
The little brat who used to come and go constantly was quiet today, so he had only come here for a walk.
Below, the battle had begun.
He could see Hei Biyu restraining someone with water.
Where did a three-year-old get such cunning from?
“Not going to step in?”
Bihu only lifted his eyes. There he saw his brother’s face, grinning annoyingly bright.
An expression full of hidden rage beneath that amused face.
The color of his pupils was distorting.
It was a symptom he suffered when feeling anger ever since his brother developed madness.
“Little brother, I don’t know how much you remember about me, but if I step in, there won’t be anything left for you, will there?”
“….”
“Biwon is going to go play the role of Uncle~”
It was a provocative gaze.
“I’ll count to three, okay?”
Hei Bihu made an expression as if to say ‘so what?’
However, he slightly raised his eyebrows.
* * *
“Ugh!!”
Hei Gyewon was trembling as he barely managed to block the sword.
His opponent was clearly thrusting his sword playfully. Movements full of mockery.
“You’re still quite lacking, aren’t you?”
The warrior laughed with a snicker.
No matter how exceptional Gyewon’s potential was, he was only nine years old. The more he fought against skilled warriors, the more wounds accumulated.
Squeak….
He could see the Thunder Beast collapsed on the ground.
I quickly overturned the water bottle.
‘Diagnosis, can I use it more? Please, just one more person…!’
There was a time limit to how long I could restrain someone with Diagnosis.
Still, if I could just restrain that one more guy, there would be enough time to escape with Hei Gyewon.
‘Uncle, let’s go toward Uncle’s building….’
The moment my hands became soaking wet, a wave rose.
However, it didn’t go as planned. The remaining warrior quickly dodged it.
The warrior sneered at me.
“I won’t fall for something I’ve already seen.”
I bit my lips tightly.
“Should I change the order for the one below too?”
The warrior stepped toward me. In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through my mind.
Should I have manufactured something?
Was that supposed to come first….
The moment I failed to catch him, I knew it was my turn.
Even so, Hei Gyewon came first.
‘He’s gripping his sword even though he’s bleeding, trying to save me!’
…How can I just stand still when he’s taking my side.
The moment I saw the rushing sword, I squeezed my eyes shut.
‘Damn, would dying from a blade hurt more than the cliff?’
Can’t be helped. In the next round, I’ll be more careful….
At that moment, my body floated up gently.
I thought it was just my imagination.
…Why doesn’t it hurt?
“You shouldn’t just close your eyes, you should scream too.”
I slowly opened my eyes.
“Kugh, urgh, hreugh… kerhak!”
I was floating in midair. The one who tried to attack me was likewise floating in midair.
But he was struggling with an invisible wind wrapped around his neck.
Pitifully flailing his legs as if suffocating.
Perhaps from shock, the water I had been holding with Diagnosis disappeared.
My eyes met with Father, who stood there indifferently.
“Quite a crowd came. Any injuries?”
They had no chance to escape.
Bang!
When Dad stomped his foot, the wind restrained every person as if it had been waiting.
“Urgh, save me… kugh!”
“Mother!!”
Not only Hei Daeui but his companions and the other warriors were all subdued.
I couldn’t believe the scene before my eyes.
I stared blankly at Dad. How did he get here?
Why is he here?
“Scream. Then someone will come running, won’t they.”
Against the backdrop of suffocating gasps, Dad spoke leisurely.
“…What if there’s no such person.”
Someone to help? There’s no way I’d have such a thing. If this is my first life, what would I do.
“Why wouldn’t there be.”
“There isn’t. I don’t have anyone!”
Dad approached with large steps and brought his face close. I flinched in surprise.
“I came, didn’t I.”
He pointed at himself with his finger.
I wondered if he was joking, but his relaxed expression gave me a strange feeling.
“You came. Here.”
Dad’s hand gently grabbed mine.
“Do whatever you’re told. Return home safely.”
A leisurely voice continued.
“I escorted you as requested. I kept that promise. And if another letter comes, let me know immediately.”
“….”
“I even came to play mailman.”
My eyes widened a little.
By letter, he must be referring to communication from the Main Hall.
“I don’t remember, but… I probably kept my promises well originally. Maybe?”
At his words that might have been a joke, I let out a hollow laugh.
“Where are you hurt?”
“Why do you keep asking that…”
“I need to hit them back the same way, don’t I?”
At the following quite affectionate voice, I stiffened. Embarrassingly, I felt like I might cry for a moment.
I pretended water had splashed on me and quickly wiped my face.
“I’m fine. Put me down. I need to check if Uncle Gyewon is okay.”
I saw him collapse with a relieved expression the moment Dad appeared.
He was clearly exhausted.
Dad frowned.
“…I came here, and this is your reaction?”
“What?”
“More admiration, or praise, or something.”
I was a bit dumbfounded. Want me to give back my emotion?
“…Child?”
Dad slightly raised his eyebrow.
I turned my eyes, wondering if the warrior might have died.
Fortunately, he seemed to have fainted.
“Suddenly appearing and doing good deeds, aren’t you impressed enough to feel like giving me treatment? Like restoring my memory.”
Huh? Look at this father. Trying to get his daughter’s lifespan for free. Of course, he doesn’t know that my lifespan is the price.
I pouted my lips.
“Unfortunately, no. You’ll have to accomplish something more impressive.”
“Really? That’s a shame.”
He didn’t seem sincere, as Father backed down obediently.
I grabbed Dad’s sleeve before he could get further away.
I should at least say thank you.
Just as I was about to speak, I heard a rustling sound and turned my head. Another warrior who had been caught by the wind seemed to have broken free.
He holds his sword and pants heavily.
Dad wasn’t surprised.
“Dad, aren’t you going to catch him?”
“That won’t be necessary.”
At the same time, with a thud, the warrior collapsed to the ground.
“Hehe, Uncle, let’s play with me~”
The owner of the foot firmly stepping on the warrior’s back was Uncle, Hei Biwon.
“Biwon missed his chance to score points, so he’s bored~”
…Why is that man there?
