The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

 

Chapter 88

 

I somehow managed to handle Dad who had become strange.

 

However, the problem was what came next.

 

“Eup, wait, wait a minute!”

 

Seeing Dad’s eyes closing, I hurriedly waved my clothes.

 

“Dad? Dad? Snap out of it, you can’t collapse…! If you collapse like that, I’ll be, ack!”

 

The problem was that Dad was falling forward, so I was about to be crushed under him.

 

‘Save the baby…!’

 

Fortunately, I avoided being crushed to death.

 

“Are you alright?”

 

When I looked up, Sylvester with finger marks on his neck was holding Dad up.

 

I let out a deep sigh.

 

I gave him an awkward smile.

 

“I’m glad you’re alive…”

 

“Yes… I really thought I was going to die. To have all my moves blocked before I could even try anything. The one who was the strongest of the Hei Family is truly different.”

 

Sylvester honestly admitted his fault.

 

“I seem to have brought up a sensitive topic. Sometimes my curiosity gets the better of me.”

 

Sylvester laid Dad down on the ground.

 

After examining him thoroughly, I found out he had simply fainted. My diagnosis confirmed the same.

 

‘Rather, his condition and illness have stabilized remarkably.’

 

I could feel the improvement.

 

There’s something called shock therapy in treatment. Did Sylvester’s words act as a trigger and work that way on Dad?

 

I sighed.

 

Rather than see Dad cry like that, I’d just let him remember slowly.

 

A moment ago, the grown adult looked like a lost child.

 

“Um, I have a favor to ask.”

 

I asked Sylvester to bring Hei Birang who would be in front of the Deputy Village Chief’s house.

 

“Understood.”

 

Sylvester looked around and then placed his hand on the ground. An earth pillar rose up smoothly.

 

“I’ll take emergency measures before I go. After all, you are a young child.”

 

It was strange treatment. He had thoroughly respected me as a physician, yet on the other hand worried about me being a young child.

 

“Um…”

 

Perhaps because of that, I briefly stopped him as he was about to leave.

 

“That thing you mentioned about Mother Maria. What story is that? About Mother’s you… skull story.”

 

“That thing, you mean.”

 

He seemed to contemplate for a moment, but it wasn’t long.

 

“Hei Bihu eloped to marry a woman of unknown origin whom the family opposed. And that woman was a great beauty with special abilities. Then one day, the woman died at a young age.”

 

“….”

 

“The Hei Family stole Hei Bihu’s wife’s corpse. They used it to blackmail him—that’s all I know.”

 

“…Do you know anything about me?”

 

“Yes. And that when Hei Bihu later made deals with the Hei Family, your story came up.”

 

Sylvester said he knew nothing more and left to bring Hei Birang back.

 

A moment later, Sylvester returned with Hei Birang. He said he couldn’t stay any longer and went back to where his Superior was.

 

“….”

 

Uncle seemed to have lost his words at the devastating situation.

 

“I wondered why you were covered in dirt and dust. That bastard Brother dropped you?”

 

No, he held me well even when his eyes rolled back. I corrected the facts.

 

“Dropping you is the problem, the problem! Damn that bastard Hei Bihu!”

 

Oh, aren’t you cursing too freely just because Dad fainted?

 

Currently, Hei Birang was carrying Dad on his back while wearing the bag that contained Raon in front.

 

My Raon, I need to hurry and hug him to reassure him.

 

‘I’m tired from taking in too much information in such a short time.’

 

I rubbed my eyes and walked beside Uncle.

 

Since he matched my pace, our steps were inevitably slow.

 

“Hey, Uncle Poo.”

 

I told Uncle what had happened, about the handprint marks on Sylvester’s neck.

 

“How much do you know about Mother’s Remains, Uncle Poo? About Dad making deals with the family?”

 

Perhaps it was too direct a question, as Uncle seemed at a loss for words.

 

After a moment, he muttered quietly as if ashamed.

 

“I don’t really know.”

 

“….”

 

“What would someone like me who only sleeps all day know? When I woke up, everything was already over. Second Brother’s elopement, your Mother’s death. I didn’t even know about that deal thing at the end.”

 

It was a voice filled with lament and resentment.

 

“…Do you know why Brother Bihu can’t leave that Home and that Tree?”

 

“…No.”

 

Uncle let out a deep sigh.

 

“In that Home, there’s your Mother’s Urn. Probably only half the Remains are inside it. And….”

 

“….”

 

“Under the Tree, we buried your Mother’s favorite things. Instead of a Grave. So it’s a kind of Grave.”

 

In the end, Dad didn’t want to leave the place where Mother was.

 

Even after losing his memory, instinctively, for a very long time.

 

I bit my lips tightly.

 

“…I don’t know if it’s right to tell you this.”

 

Hei Birang sighed once more.

 

He seemed to hesitate about whether it was okay to say such things to me, who was Mother and Dad’s Daughter and still just a Baby.

 

“Your dad couldn’t tell you because he was worried it would hurt you that he can’t remember you while obsessing over places related to your mother.”

 

“No, it doesn’t hurt.”

 

It’s true. Maybe it’s because I stole a glimpse of Dad’s memories.

 

They looked so happy together.

 

“The time they spent together was longer. It can’t be helped.”

 

“If my daughter said something like that, my heart would have been torn apart long ago.”

 

I lifted my head.

 

“I think of you as my daughter too. Don’t ask me since when. I just do.”

 

“Uncle Poo?”

 

“So from now on, if you’re having a hard time, feel free to tell me. Lean on me.”

 

“…”

 

“Your brothers and I have been sorry for only leaning on you.”

 

My chest stung and ached. I rolled my eyes and grinned broadly.

 

“You’ve matured.”

 

“…”

 

Uncle just let it pass, perhaps understanding that I didn’t want to say more.

 

We walked silently and arrived at the lodging where we planned to stay.

 

“Sometime I’ll set aside time with Brother Biwon to tell you everything we know about your mother.”

 

Hei Birang said this while laying Dad down on the bed.

 

“I realize that just not saying anything isn’t the solution.”

 

“…Suddenly?”

 

“Yeah. The more I look at you, the more I think that way.”

 

Hei Birang sat down heavily under the bed where he had laid Dad and rested his chin on his hand.

 

“Your mother came from the Eastern Continent and was an outstanding physician from a young age. Just like you.”

 

Hei Birang got up from his seat, saying he’d tell me the rest later.

 

My heart also pounded suddenly at hearing about Mother, then I nodded.

 

“I’ll solve the epidemic quickly. Hurry up and set a time to tell me.”

 

“Alright.”

 

Uncle patted my head. This time he didn’t say anything even though he messed up my hair completely.

 

* * *

 

The next day.

 

Dad didn’t open his eyes until afternoon.

 

The strange thing was that he just quietly came close to me but didn’t say anything at all.

 

“Do you remember everything from yesterday?”

 

“…I remember.”

 

From his tone, it didn’t seem like he had suddenly changed again like when he heard Sylvester’s words.

 

I figured he needed time to think and just left him alone.

 

“No, if you do hygiene like this it’s even worse! Are your ears blocked?”

 

“B-but… M-Master taught me this way…!”

 

He had been busy teaching and directing Coma, who was originally the chief medical officer.

 

“Your master is a blockhead! Does your master treat better than me?”

 

“You’re being too harsh… Though that’s not the case.”

 

Fortunately, Coma was just intimidated and obediently followed orders as instructed.

 

It was also thanks to subtly letting slip that they would have died together if they failed to treat the Lord.

 

‘But this isn’t enough. When are the additional physicians coming?’
