The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 32

“…Should I say thank you?”

“The matter would have been resolved even if you hadn’t stepped in.”

So he was reproaching her for stepping in despite that. Biyu understood it in her own way.

However, Hei Bihu’s words weren’t finished yet.

“I don’t trust others easily, and I have no memory of receiving help.”

That was true for him.

Every day when he opened his eyes, his memories disappeared.

The warmth of others, and even the memories of perhaps receiving help and trusting someone on some day, all vanished.

He couldn’t trust anything.

“You calling me Dad must be to make me take responsibility.”

No matter how much he thought about it, Hei Bihu had no memories of his daughter.

“To make me act like a father.”

For Biyu, it wasn’t entirely wrong. Except that she had no great expectations of her father.

“…”

“But I can’t take responsibility. Not in this state.”

The child stared at him intently. Her face was calm as if she hadn’t received any shock at all.

“It’s okay. Everyone finds it difficult at first.”

“…”

“I didn’t ask you to become a real dad either.”

Biyu spoke clearly.

“Just protect me when I’m in trouble. Like now.”

The child’s cheeks flushed modestly. As if she was pleased.

“Be on my side. That’s enough.”

Biyu’s curved eyes turned toward her father. They were peaceful and calm.

They were truly eyes without greed.

“I was happy that Dad and Uncle Baek protected me. Please prioritize me like that. I need protection.”

If she just received protection, she could become a more remarkable physician than anyone else in the world.

“Alright.”

Hei Bihu nodded his head.

“You said you could treat me. Can you give me a chance for Self-Recovery?”

“Self-Recovery?”

The child had returned part of his lost memories. She had said she would cure him completely if he listened well.

Then perhaps she could provide treatment that would allow him to recall memories on his own.

“I mean I want to remember you on my own.”

The child wiggled her fingers. It wasn’t simple fidgeting—she was calculating.

‘How much lifespan should I use?’

The hesitating child lifted her head.

“Can’t you do it?”

“…Mmm. I can do it.”

The child grinned broadly.

“But, payment first.”

“Payment in advance.”

“Yeah. From now on, you absolutely can’t break what I say, okay? You have to do whatever I ask.”

Biyu held out her pinky finger.

Along with it came a brighter and clearer smile than ever before.

Hei Bihu stared at the extended finger, then chuckled softly. Then he hooked his pinky finger, which was larger than the child’s entire torso.

“As you command.”

Hei Bihu could hope because he didn’t know the price. Because he couldn’t know how great a thing he was wishing for.

‘I’ve come back here again.’

I took a deep breath as I looked at the clean pond.

I was currently at the place where I first met Dad. The place with the large tree and pond.

‘Alright, let’s go!’

I was about to jump right in.

“Huh?”

I was dangling in the air. I could see Dad floating while holding onto my clothes.

“What? Why did you grab me?”

You asked me to heal you.

When Dad requested treatment, I actually hesitated quite a bit.

‘It’s possible to the extent you want, but.’

It would definitely cost a fair amount of lifespan.

But seeing Dad’s complete cooperation without betrayal and his more capable abilities than expected changed my mind.

‘Let’s think of it as an investment.’

A powerful wind mage. There are endless ways to use him.

Let’s get the Female Lead to Family Head faster and achieve my goal.

That’s why I came to the pond, so why did you grab me?

“Would the same situation as last time work?”

“Huh? Yeah.”

“Then there’s no need to jump in recklessly.”

Dad put his words into action.

Splash!

He scooped me up in his arms and jumped straight into the water.

Not satisfied with just that, he grabbed me under both arms and lifted me up, then just dipped my feet in.

‘Shabu-shabu…?’

Somehow the expression he’s looking at me with seems faintly proud. Must be my imagination, right?

“The preparations are complete. I did it exactly the same.”

“Ah, yeah.”

I clasped my hands together as if praying.

This treatment is going to be quite difficult, so I need to prepare myself. A serious expression crossed my face.

The water surface began to ripple, and Dad quietly spoke to me.

“Am I the only one receiving this kind of treatment?”

“Um…”

That’s true, isn’t it? Uncle and Little Uncle can be treated with medicine.

Though that medicine is annoyingly complicated, takes an incredibly long time, is expensive… There are tons of difficult aspects.

I grinned widely.

“That’s right. It’s special treatment. Because you’re Dad.”

I raised only my index finger from my clasped hands and made a ‘shh’ gesture.

This worked out well.

I should score some points and make him keep quiet about it.

Especially if Uncle, who’s particularly sharp and persistent, finds out I’m treating with lifespan, it’ll be troublesome.

“This is a secret from Uncle Baek and Uncle Poo, okay? They might feel left out.”

“…They don’t seem like the type to feel left out. But I understand.”

For some reason, Dad had a strange expression.

“…Special treatment. I’ll remember.”

Hm? It’s not something you need to remember that much.

‘And you might forget this moment anyway.’

I tilted my head, but since his expression seemed somewhat serious, I nodded obediently.

“Then, shall we go?”

The water surface rippled and waves formed. Just like before, they covered both me and Dad.

When I opened my eyes, I was underwater.

I turned my head this way and that in the space that was as comfortable as a bed.

‘The space itself really does give a comfortable feeling.’

I suddenly recalled using this ability in the third round.

‘Hey.’

A voice that was rough but gentle inside.

It was probably the voice that called me most sweetly in my entire life. It used to make my ears tingle.

He was a man I believed to be my friend.

Through his red hair, I could see a sharp and beautiful but worried expression.

‘You, promise me.’

‘…’

‘Next time… I’ve decided not to use it even if I die.’

In the mysterious atmosphere, I helplessly offered my cheek.

‘How does it feel to be treated like this? It doesn’t hurt, does it?’

‘Not at all.’

‘But you’re pretty even when you’re crying.’

Back then, I believed that person, so it felt like the world was collapsing. I hoped he wouldn’t die.

‘When you’re all better, I have something to say. Ah, how embarrassing! Anyway, you must listen, okay?’

I didn’t know that might have been foreshadowing betrayal.

Recalling even the image of that man, all red-faced, tenderly stroking my cheek, I shook my head.

‘I should focus on treatment.’

Let’s see, how much will it take to improve his condition?

When I opened my eyes, the Large Tree was right in front of me.

A tree only I can see.

As I decided to improve Dad’s condition, leaves began falling rustling down.

‘Oh no, my tree is going to go bald.’

When I relaxed the standards a bit, only some fell.

‘This should be fine.’

I returned Underwater and faced Dad with his eyes closed. I carefully took hold of his large hand.

‘I’m not used to people taking my side.’

I recalled all the times Uncle and Dad had stood up for me.

One side of my chest felt ticklish.

I want you both to live as healthy people in this life, not as patients.

This is sincere.

And I want to go Home now too.

The Water that received my will rippled and enveloped Dad.

A bright light burst forth, and when I closed and opened my eyes, I saw an unfamiliar scene just like last time.

‘Where is this?’

It was a tranquil Pavilion. Looking at the lush green trees outside the Pavilion, it seemed like summer, or perhaps early spring.

‘Where is Dad? Last time it seemed like I was watching memories together.’

He was nowhere to be seen.

Whoooosh. Wind was blowing. A small humming was mixed in with the wind.

“Our Biyu. Are you feeling better?”

I was startled.

‘Oh, what a surprise.’

I don’t know why I hadn’t noticed her, but I could see a woman sitting in the Pavilion right nearby.

Eyes the same color as mine. An innocent beauty, definitely ‘Mother’.

The baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, held in Mother’s arms….

‘That’s me. Completely adorable, right?’

My admiration was brief, as whoosh! A strong wind blew.

Someone who appeared with the wind set foot in the pavilion.

Long hair swayed in the wind.

“Sorry I’m late.”

I got goosebumps.

It was a familiar voice, but I wondered if it was really the same person.

“Baek Ah.”

Dad, with a slightly younger impression than now, smiled brightly.

“I’m here.”

“Yes, you’re here?”

An extremely gentle and affectionate voice.

“You’re beautiful today too. Madam.”

Dad, with his large frame hiding all his claws, acting like an infinitely docile puppy, seemed unfamiliar.

“The most beautiful in the world.”
