The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius
Chapter 34
I inhaled and choked.
I was breathless from laughing too hard.
‘Well, I can relate.’
If he’s making this kind of assessment about himself, it must have been quite unfamiliar, right?
I looked up at him sideways.
“Right, don’t you have split personality or something? Should I do a psychiatric evaluation too?”
“No need. But that possibility isn’t entirely out of the question. Since I can’t remember.”
Anyway, what Dad saw was apparently just fragmentary scenes.
‘But still, that’s strange.’
Didn’t I see all of Dad’s memories vividly? But Dad saw a different landscape than me.
‘What could be the reason?’
Since this was only the second time treating a patient with my lifespan as payment, I didn’t know this ability precisely yet either.
‘The first time I simply tried to return memories, and the second time I improved them so they could remember on their own.’
Though they weren’t the same illness. Using Alzheimer’s as an example.
Is it the difference between returning forgotten memories to a patient, and reviving the patient’s damaged brain cells to give them the ability for Self-Recovery?
“Anyway, it’s fine. If my past self was that much of an… idiot, I think it’s better not to remember.”
“Is it that shocking?”
Dad didn’t answer, but that was as good as a yes.
“Besides, I saw you in those memories, so that’s enough.”
Looking at Dad who had returned with an indifferent expression, I thought.
It wouldn’t have been just me there.
‘Could there be a reason why he still can’t remember Mother?’
I didn’t want to cause unnecessary confusion for the patient over facts I hadn’t figured out yet either.
“Good, Dad is my subordinate now. You know that, right?”
Memories are memories, but you took a hefty advance payment.
I tried to cross my arms triumphantly… but my arms were too short.
Instead, I put my hands on my hips.
“Who’s family that the Family Head needs to take care of, and who’s a subordinate?”
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
Dad raised his eyebrow slightly. He looked displeased.
“…Never mind.”
What. How boring.
Regardless, I quickly smiled brightly. I grabbed Dad’s new clothes and shook them.
“Come on, let’s hurry to the Market!”
Hei Biyu, the start of a life reversal!
* * *
Hei Biyu couldn’t go to the market she had desperately wanted to visit that very day.
It was because Hei Bihu said she might catch a cold and suggested postponing it by a day to see how she felt.
Biyu felt wronged!
‘Ah, a mere cold! Even if I catch it, I can cure it with my ability!’
When did he ever call a three-year-old he’d just met an assassin and whatnot.
Now he’s worrying about a cold.
What a ridiculous father!
‘No wait, he’s probably doing this because he’s worried his only physician who can treat him might get sick. Hmph.’
Biyu was properly angry.
Still, the reason she didn’t rebel was because she judged that one day would be fine.
Though Biyu herself didn’t realize it, she had used up a lot of energy treating Hei Bihu.
That day, Hei Bihu had seen Biyu staggering with sleepy eyes the entire time she wiped his face with a towel, so he firmly stood his ground.
The next day.
Hei Bihu sat on the main hall veranda, lost in thought.
‘Now that I properly know she’s my daughter, shouldn’t she be sleeping in this house?’
The reason for this thought was because of his older brother Hei Biwon, who wasn’t particularly welcome.
Yesterday, when Hei Biyu was wiping away the moisture and nodding off drowsily, Hei Biwon and Hei Gyewon, the father and son duo, suddenly appeared and whisked Biyu away.
‘Now, would you dare interfere with your sacred older brother’s work?’
‘…What are you doing?’
‘I can’t entrust our precious princess to a younger brother who doesn’t know how to take care of children like you!’
‘Isn’t older brother the same when it comes to not knowing how to take care of them?’
‘That’s right!’
His brother laughed heartily and readily agreed. Then he stuck his thumb up.
‘Our kid is good at taking care of children! Your house doesn’t have a son like this, does it?’
‘…’
‘Hahaha!’
Armed with such irrefutable logic, his brother laughed slyly and took Biyu away.
Even thinking about it again, it was an absurd situation.
Of course, his brother’s words weren’t wrong. He had neglected even his own body.
Hei Bihu shifted his posture and recalled something else.
It was about when his eldest sister, Hei Haran, handed over Hei Biyu’s antidote.
Hei Haran approached him with a suspicious expression and whispered secretly.
‘You, how much do you remember?’
I went with Hei Biwon to get the antidote. Unlike my brother who said he had something to discuss with Sister and tried to leave first.
Hei Haran pointed directly at me.
Then she whispered just loud enough for me to hear.
‘Is that so? You still forgot that bastard…’
It was a meaningful smile.
He had lost his memory, but he hadn’t lost his intelligence.
‘I’ll congratulate you in advance. Soon you’ll forget everything about yourself.’
It was clear mockery.
Hei Bihu quietly stared at his sister without showing any reaction.
‘You can’t give up on patients.’
The face of the child who had firmly declared not to neglect getting angry came to mind.
‘Humiliation is inherited.’
‘What Father and Uncle Baek left behind will keep clinging to me and Nephew.’
After glancing sideways at his brother who was looking at something in the distance, Hei Bihu crossed his arms.
He responded for the first time.
‘It seems you want me to give up everything, but I have no intention of giving up on life yet.’
‘…What?’
‘Are you lacking intelligence? I’m saying it won’t happen that way.’
Facing his sister’s fierce expression, Hei Bihu slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
This was brief, as Hei Haran wore a sneer.
‘Go give medicine to your child. She was a pathetic child. Just like you, her fallen father’s daughter.’
Hei Haran turned around sharply like that.
Only Hei Biwon, who deliberately bumped shoulders with Hei Haran, showed a snickering laugh.
Saying, ‘Demon hag, still have that terrifying temper, don’t you?’
So we returned with the antidote and gave it to Hei Biyu.
Finishing his recollection, he raised his eyes and stared ahead.
Hei Haran’s meaningful words were something to slowly chew over as long as he didn’t forget them.
Because he no longer felt like ignoring such meaningful words.
Especially if it was related to his daughter.
“So, are you saying I was wrong!”
“Ugh, so noisy!”
What was more important than that right now was the rather amusing scene unfolding before his eyes.
His younger brother Hei Birang was seriously fighting with a three-year-old baby.
Hei Bihu lazily tilted his head.
‘So, when are we going to the Market?’
Today was the day to go to the Market.
* * *
“Hey! I heard you caused trouble?”
It was finally the long-awaited day to go to the Market. But before departing, I encountered an obstacle.
“You’re having fun without me?!”
Of course my expression soured. Little Uncle, who had woken up after a long time, was blocking the way.
‘His face looks better. Is it thanks to the Medicine?’
And it was probably because of the hope that there would be improvement. He would have slept less anxiously than before, even with the forced sleep.
That aside.
‘Who caused trouble?’
It seemed he heard about the situation from Uncle or Cousin Brother. What trouble.
I corrected him properly.
“So, are you saying I was wrong!”
But it wasn’t getting through.
“Ugh, so noisy! Stop it, are you a child? Why are you yelling at Biyu. That’s bad. If you say more useless things, I’ll kick you out!”
“No…”
Only then did the excited Uncle hesitate. He looked flustered.
“…They said something serious happened to you, little one. That, ahem. I was sleeping so I couldn’t help.”
“Even if you were awake, you wouldn’t have been able to help…”
“What?!”
