The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 31

“Assassin?”

Come to think of it…

That man mentioned assassins when we first met too, didn’t he? It seems he gets attacked more often than I thought.

“I see.”

“Right. You can’t open your eyes and cause trouble again.”

“Mmm? Who?”

“Who do you think?”

“…Me?”

There’s no answer. Really me?

What did I do?

I was bewildered.

“Where is this?”

“Where I stay.”

“…It’s home. You speak so strangely.”

“Because it doesn’t feel like home.”

Dad sat down heavily in front of me.

The door was slightly open, so a pleasant breeze blew in. A large hand was placed on my forehead.

“Are you hot?”

“Mmm…”

I feel drowsy. A cool breeze blew. It stays only by my side.

So cool…

“The fever has gone down.”

I stared blankly at Dad’s long hair swaying gently.

“Are you going to cause trouble again?”

“Mmm?”

Hmm, my head isn’t working. Conversations are disadvantageous at times like this.

“So let me hear your story. Why on earth did you do such a crazy thing?”

“That’s because…”

The evidence Dad presented was very effective. It was a wonderful strike that made optimal use of his Wind Ability.

But.

‘That wasn’t enough.’

First Aunt’s influence is formidable.

If we didn’t finish this properly, Hei Daeui would have gotten out just fine, and he would definitely come looking again.

Who knows what despicable methods he’d use then.

‘Whatever it is, it’s not scary though.’

I didn’t want to be disturbed.

‘I need to treat Big Uncle first. Little Uncle too.’

With a mountain of things to do, how could I let myself be held back by a cousin who resembles a poison toad?

First Aunt’s poison is a very effective poison. I made it in case I might need to use it someday.

‘I was planning to turn it into smoke and use it against enemies if necessary.’

Something I made for self-defense was put to good use, so that’s fine, right?

“He said he wants to have a deep conversation about your condition too.”

“Who?”

“Big brother.”

…Should I avoid Big Uncle’s quarters for a while? Yeah, let’s do that.

“They said you’re much weaker than your peers. Did you know that?”

“Who said that?”

“The physician who helped with the detoxification.”

“Ah.”

I understood. I answered the question. The answer was already decided.

“Yeah.”

Of course I know. I’ve lived my whole life with this kind of weak body.

It was hard at first, but as you live, it becomes livable. You just have to endure a bit more hardship.

I spoke calmly.

“But Dad… Isn’t that natural? There’s nothing here.”

I thought it was amazing that I survived until age three without any memory in my first life.

“I hope there’s a comfortable place to sleep. I hope the food is fresh. I hope there’s medicine.”

At first, I couldn’t even light a fire. It was a bit sad. No, it seemed very sad.

“I don’t even have a guardian.”

I stated the fact indifferently.

“It’s the worst environment for a child to grow up in.”

How fortunate it was that this was a land with mild seasons.

“So. Isn’t it amazing that I’m still alive?”

* * *

Hei Bihu realized for the first time in a long while what it felt like to be breathless.

His mind was calm.

He knew there was no need for him to feel breathless.

He wasn’t the one who abandoned that little one.

It was something he did before losing his memory, so why should he feel undeserved responsibility?

“Dad?”

Biyu tilted her head.

“…I’m listening.”

Hei Bihu focused on that tiny mouth. Since losing his memory, he had probably never concentrated like this before.

Considering that all of that was related to the little one.

He was newly realizing what kind of upheaval the child had brought to his daily life.

“Anyway, that’s how it is.”

The child pointed out each thing gently with a composure unbelievable for a three-year-old.

“Meeting Dad and me might have been a miracle too.”

Those large, clear eyes looked like they would fall if touched.

Those eyes were calm and seemed to say ‘You didn’t raise me.’

No.

That was just how he felt.

“You wanted to call him Dad, didn’t you?”

The child laughed as if it was nothing.

Hei Bihu easily understood the underlying meaning.

This was resignation.

And it meant there hadn’t even been any expectations.

“Hehe, so please treasure me a little. I’m clearly a physician who made a contract with Dad, right?”

She had been a child who gave off strangeness from the beginning.

Meanwhile, Biyu was feeling anxious watching her father who wasn’t saying anything.

‘Why isn’t he saying anything?’

So Biyu was startled the moment the large hand touched her body.

Because she remembered Hei Daeui’s hand hitting her long ago.

“No, I don’t like it!”

“…?”

“Ah….”

People had treated her carelessly.

She had lived a life where there was no consideration for being a young child.

Biyu, who came to her senses, quickly grabbed Hei Bihu’s hand.

She smiled awkwardly.

“Sorry… I was startled.”

The child let go of his hand casually. Not even knowing what expression Hei Bihu was making.

“Startled, you say.”

Hei Bihu spoke calmly. Biyu could feel relieved at that voice.

The large hand wandered through the air before pinching the child’s chubby cheek.

“Uwaaaah, what are you doing…!!”

“I want to ask you for one favor.”

“A faavor?”

Hei Bihu recalled the situation after Biyu had collapsed.

‘At last….’

There had been no chaos like that.

‘I should have swept them all away. That would have been the right thing to do…’

Hei Bihu had never seen his older brother so furious before.

No, since his memory was unstable, it might not be the first time, but it was the first time he could remember.

Hei Biwon had seen and heard together with him how Hei Daeui tormented Gyewon and Biyu.

Hei Daeui hadn’t fed poison to Biyu.

Yet his brother was genuinely enraged. Hei Bihu couldn’t understand the reason why his brother was acting this way.

‘…Aren’t you two adults embarrassed that you couldn’t handle one matter properly and had to borrow a child’s help?’

Hei Biwon was angry, but his madness didn’t manifest.

Those who had prepared for Hei Biwon’s madness also seemed surprised by the situation.

In any case, the situation came to an end when Hei Haran, who was called the eldest sister, provided the antidote.

Because the poison had been demonstrated so spectacularly, punishment became unavoidable. It was just as Biyu had hoped.

Hei Daeui would be punished one way or another.

Hei Bihu recalled Biyu’s face, who had been warning him all along. Her expression had been far too calm for someone about to consume poison.

‘Don’t be surprised. I’m fine.’

Who would believe it?

That the mastermind behind all this was just a three-year-old child.

“What happened after I collapsed?”

Hei Bihu briefly explained to the child what had happened afterward.

“Oh, really? The pig, no, Hei Daeui is getting punished? How satisfying!”

After hearing everything, Biyu grinned widely while holding her cheek.

It was a smile that would fit quite well if thrown among wildflowers.

“But Dad, what’s the favor you want to ask?”

The matter that had been pushed to the back burner while explaining the situation came up as the topic.

Hei Bihu had something to tell her before mentioning his request.

“First, before that, it was truly something I never want to experience again.”

“Huh?”

“The sight of a physician who was supposed to treat me suddenly attempting suicide was quite refreshing, even for someone whose head has gone mad.”

The tone of his words was menacing.

‘Huh…? Why is he angry?’

Biyu trembled her shoulders and read the mood. Her father’s voice was quite gentle, but his words were incredibly sharp.

“Your way of viewing the world with malice and cynicism resembles mine.”

They were a father and daughter who shared no physical resemblance.

“So that’s why you’re my daughter?”

Biyu couldn’t hide her bewilderment at the fact that the first similarity she was hearing about from her dad was something like this.

‘He’s terrible at jokes.’

Damn father, was he calling this a joke right now?
