The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 64

* * *

I was bewildered.

‘…Dad, why are you acting so dignified?’

Of course it was nice.

‘That man said he’d listen to everything I say….’

The back of my neck felt ticklish for no reason.

Separately from that, there was also an outrageous part.

‘I mean the part where he says he’ll listen to whatever I say.’

You promised to do anything for me in exchange for treating you one more time, didn’t you?

Why are you pretending otherwise now?

I almost let it slide.

‘Shameless Father!’

I smacked Dad’s shoulder repeatedly. A moment later I had to clutch my hand.

“Ow!”

“…Why would you hit there specifically? Do you enjoy torture?”

“Geez, where would you find such a person!”

In my frustration, I pinched Dad’s cheek and stretched it out.

“I’m angry about it! You already promised to listen to everything I say in exchange for treating you. So you weren’t going to before?!”

“That’s not it.”

Dad obediently offered his cheek.

Because Dad’s cheek was being stretched out, his pronunciation sounded like “That’s not iiiit.”

“My feelings haven’t changed from then to now.”

“Then what’s different!”

“My mindset.”

Dad spoke while maintaining that ridiculous pose with his cheek still offered.

Thanks to that, the seriousness was diminished.

“Until before, I was a business partner who made a deal with you. And a patient.”

“….”

“Now I’m a father trying to start acting like one.”

Dad grinned just like that, and I felt annoyed that he looked quite cool.

‘No, am I really annoyed?’

I found it strange that I was pretending not to like it when I actually did.

No, that’s not it.

‘I can’t adapt because I’ve hardly ever experienced good things.’

I was embarrassed.

The fact that I was someone who didn’t even know how to properly love. On one hand, I felt like an inadequate person, and I was also frustrated.

“…Biyu?”

When I didn’t respond, the smile gradually disappeared from Dad’s expression.

“…Did I do something wrong?”

I knew.

At least in this situation, Dad hadn’t done anything wrong.

He punished the person who insulted me,

He stopped when I asked him to stop,

He said he would be my sword until I acknowledged him. He said he would protect me more earnestly from now on.

Could it get any better than this?

I knew. I knew, but….

“Sniff, sob, hic, go away….”

“…Are you hurt somewhere?”

“Go away I said. I hate Dad…. I hate you.”

He probably couldn’t understand me suddenly sniffling and shedding tears. Of course.

I didn’t understand myself either.

What was there to cry about?

But.

I had lived each life so earnestly….

The fact that all I had left was my inadequate self felt not only frustrating but also unfair.

“I really did do something wrong.”

“Do you even know what you did wrong?”

I looked at Dad while sniffling.

My tear ducts were broken, tears kept welling up so I could only see him blurrily.

Geez, I lived just as earnestly, but only this time things went so well that I suddenly felt wronged.

Dad’s hand hesitantly wiped away my tears.

But it was useless.

Because tears kept springing up again.

“You don’t have to wipe them.”

I forcibly rubbed my eyes.

I found it absurd that having someone comfort me made me cry even more.

Since when had I become so weak?

I bit my lips firmly.

“Why, why are you only starting to remember now….”

“….”

“Making people confused?”

I knew. That it was too late to talk about this now.

If I wanted to say these things, I should have said them when he told me he remembered my birth.

Most importantly, I hadn’t forgotten the fact that he regained his memories because I started the treatment.

“You don’t need to be so sincere about it, I’ll keep my promise too.”

But still, I felt newly resentful.

“I have no intention of breaking it.”

No matter how much people in the past betrayed me, I never broke my promises.

That was my last pride.

That I wasn’t a despicable or gloomy person like you all.

“…Because of the promise.”

“I won’t leave you alone.”

I spoke with teary eyes. I widened my eyes trying not to cry anymore, but it was useless.

It was the same way in the past.

After holding back and holding back, once the tears burst, I had to keep crying until my anger was released.

I found myself ridiculous too.

When I came to find Dad, I had decided to just see him as a business partner. Yet here I was rambling on.

This was all because Dad suddenly started acting soft.

“I hate you, why are you being like this to me?”

“….”

“You had the choice not to do that too…!”

Since I’m not you, I don’t know what it feels like to lose memories and self.

So these are words I’m saying without knowing Dad’s situation. But still, I have the right.

If I’m the one who waited only for you through three lifetimes.

I have the right.

“Really, you went too far.”

If you were someone who would take my side like this.

Even if I didn’t approach you, you could have come to me at least once, right?

“I won’t acknowledge you until Dad remembers everything.”

I know.

That this isn’t appropriate for a Physician to say.

Having diagnosed Dad’s condition, I already know this won’t happen before I leave this world and cure his illness completely.

So it’s an unreasonable thing to say.

But you’re my dad.

Since you made my long life lonely, you should endure at least that much.

If you really show me the miracle of remembering everything on your own…

Then I’ll acknowledge you too.

Even while crying, I stubbornly glared at Father.

Won’t you say something mean even in this situation?

“Seeing that I think you’re lovely even when you’re crying and glaring at me, you really must be my daughter.”

“….”

“I remembered your birth. I’ll try to recall things step by step.”

“….”

“But if I get sick in the process, you’ll stay up all night nursing me again, so this time I’ll try to remember without getting hurt.”

Dad’s large hand gently tapped my cheek. His thumb swept away the tears dangling from the tip of my chin.

“Being resented… honestly, it’s been a while since I felt this burning sensation in my chest. I suppose that’s natural?”

“You can’t only do good things.”

“Right.”

Dad smiled slightly.

“Brother called me a dog-like father.”

“He’s right.”

“Yes, he’s right.”

Even at my stubbornly cursing words, Father readily agreed.

I felt my strength drain away, as if I was the only one harboring poison without reason.

‘What am I even doing.’

I’m not even a child.

‘When your body becomes younger, you’re inevitably affected…’

I wiped my tears away bravely.

“Sorry. I showed you something unsightly.”

I couldn’t stop the tears at will, so I rubbed roughly until the area under my eyes stung.

Then my hand was caught by Dad’s hand. Dad carefully pressed my eyes with his sleeve.

Whoosh.

A gentle breeze blew. The cool wind dried my tears.

“You must have been flustered. Since you cried so suddenly.”

I became dejected and lowered my head. To suddenly pour out resentment like a child.

With such a long road ahead, what have I accomplished.

“I’ll accept it if you say ‘why are you acting like this now.'”

“I don’t have the right to say such things. I have no intention of saying them either, because your anger is justified.”

In this state, immediate medical treatment would be difficult.

“Even though I was the one who sought out Dad who was living well and stirred things up?”

“About that, I’m grateful. And let me correct just one thing.”

“…”

“I wasn’t living well.”

Only then did I lift my head and look at Dad.

“I have no memories. I just felt annoyed at everyone who came looking for me, yet I was always filled with strange restlessness, irritation, and disgust.”

“…”

“Humans need to have goals, they say. You gave me that. I’m grateful.”

Dad touched his chin. Eyes full of sincerity turned toward me.

His lips curved ever so slightly.

“You gave me the chance to remember you. So next time, just give me the chance to be your dad.”

I hesitated, then spoke honestly.

“…Dad must have been a good person in the past.”

“Thank you.”

Dad hesitated for a moment, then placed his hand on top of my head.

“Try your best so that your current self can also be recognized.”
