The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 9

Cousin Brother bit his lips.

“Were you originally sick? Are you sick from inhaling poison? Looking at how your symptoms are different from theirs, you were originally sick, right? What if a stupidly sick kid drinks poison… It’s probably not that strong of a poison, right?”

Excuse me, could you give me a chance to speak…

I could tell he had good observational skills from nursing his sick father for so long.

Because those were the eyes of someone looking at a patient.

“Why won’t the bleeding stop?”

“Well, that’s…”

“Never mind. You’re dying, aren’t you?”

“Huh?”

Hei Gyewon’s handsome face turned pale white.

“I thought something was strange. If you were a normal kid, they would have sent you to the Main Hall to be raised like Second Uncle’s Daughter.”

You mean the Female Lead?

‘She went to the Main Hall because she showed signs of having abilities from a young age.’

I was sent here with Dad because I’m physically weak and didn’t show such signs…?

Anyway, I’d appreciate it if you could give me a chance to explain now.

“Um, could I have the water container…”

“Water? You want to drink water?”

Fortunately, Hei Gyewon brought me the water container. Though he snatched it away before I could even open the lid.

Hei Gyewon raised one hand and pressed it firmly against my face with his clothes.

“Ueee, uwaaang, what, what are you, mmph! doing!”

“You were exposed to poison smoke. Wiping it off is basic. You know this, so why are you acting like that.”

I felt so wronged by the boy’s hand roughly wiping my face.

“Wa-, sniff!”

“It’s not ‘sniff’! Cough!”

No, I’m telling you I’ll be completely fine if I just have that water!

It hurts!!

A moment later.

I was sitting face to face with Cousin Brother with a sulky expression.

“…So, you’re saying you have healing ability?”

“Yeah. Look at this.”

I cleared up the misunderstanding. Or did I really clear it up?

Anyway, I used my ability in front of Hei Gyewon to heal my body, but somehow he still seems unconvinced.

‘Phew, I thought my face was going to peel off.’

The redness from all that scrubbing during treatment had disappeared too.

“You came to treat our father? You?”

“Yeah.”

“You’ve already started treating Second Uncle? And he’s showing improvement?”

“Yeah!”

I told him about Hei Birang’s situation too. It would have been best if Hei Birang had come with me here.

‘Is it about time for that guy to wake up?’

When I counted the days, it wasn’t time yet.

‘He’s no help. No help at all.’

Like some useless sleeping princess in the forest.

“I understand everything. It sounds absurd, but you did demonstrate your abilities…”

Cousin Brother, who had been contemplating, looked at me.

“But I can’t guide you to our father.”

“Ah, why! Because it sounds like lies?”

“No.”

Cousin Brother shook his head.

“Father is currently in his Madness period. He’s locked himself away so he can’t meet anyone.”

Hei Biwon.

My Uncle to me.

This person’s illness is ‘Madness.’

His nicknames are madman, lunatic, beast.

There are distinct periods when he’s normal and when he’s mad. When he goes berserk during his mad periods, no one can stop him.

‘Before he got sick, he was truly an amazing warrior. Good enough to compete for first or second place?’

Among the Nature-Related Abilities that Eastern People can use, he had Lightning Control Ability plus Martial Power.

I heard that before he got sick, even the Imperial Palace was desperate to recruit him.

“You can only see him after that period passes.”

If that’s the case, there’s nothing I can do about it.

I had seen Uncle Hei Biwon in my first life. I died getting caught up in one of his rampages.

“I understand. Then I’ll come back then.”

“Wait a moment.”

What? I paused mid-way through getting up.

“I’ve made up my mind.”

…About what?

“Even if the number of patients increases from one to two, what I need to do remains unchanged.”

What is this guy suddenly talking about?

“I’ve concluded that there would be no problem even if I provide Nursing Care for you too.”

“Huh.”

But I’m not a patient?

“Why would Brother provide Nursing Care for me?”

Well, my lifespan is short, but that’s a story for later.

“More importantly, hasn’t the misunderstanding been cleared up yet? I’m not sick.”

“You’d want to say that. I understand. Father couldn’t accept it for a long time either.”

No, I’m really not sick!

It seems like Cousin Brother isn’t listening to me. I felt wronged.

“Hei Daeui will definitely come back for revenge. Live with me.”

Ah. Is he feeling responsible?

I pondered for a moment.

There was still a little time left before little uncle would wake up. If I was going to treat Uncle, it would be better to stay nearby.

‘Well, whatever the misunderstanding, do as you please.’

If we stayed together, he’d quickly realize that I wasn’t a patient.

‘Making such a fuss over coughing up blood once because of poison.’

When I nodded, Cousin Brother smiled faintly.

It was a neat smile, but I could feel a certain coolness in it.

“You can think of it as a show of gratitude. I feel like I owe you a great debt.”

Hei Gyewon stretched his hand forward.

As brother closed his eyes and concentrated, a small static spark crackled from Hei Biwon’s fingertips.

…This was lightning.

“It’s a secret. I’m also an ability user.”

Children who show nature-related abilities or signs must unconditionally grow up in the Main Hall.

Then he wouldn’t be able to provide Nursing Care for Father. It seemed he chose to hide it.

‘Huh, but… in the original work, it said he awakened his ability in prison. Is this a hidden setting?’

I blinked my eyes.

“Thanks to you, I think I was able to avoid almost killing someone for the first time.”

“…”

“Father would have been sad too.”

The handsome and neat, but somehow sharp-smiling Cousin Brother said.

“You can think of it as repaying a debt.”

If it had ended here, it would have been quite touching.

A moment later, the place where we were currently sitting face to face was the Room where I stayed.

“I’ll raise you.”

Because Hei Gyewon, who had been looking around my Room, made a disgusted expression.

“It would be better than you living in a Pig Pen like this too.”

…What, you bastard?!

* * *

Several days passed.

Hei Gyewon was a very diligent person.

From morning, he diligently drew water from the Well and cooked warm rice.

Sometimes he would make tonic medicine with medicinal herbs.

‘…I thought he was just a warrior, but what can’t he do?’

On top of that, he helped me wash my face and even did the laundry.

‘…Wow, this is more beneficial than I thought?’

Is he a Snail Bride!

Living after being dragged to Hei Gyewon’s residence was more comfortable than I could have imagined…!

Maybe this kind of kidnapping is okay?

I had been living by eating grass until now.

The servants did give me food ingredients, but they sent them to Dad’s side, and I didn’t particularly want to go there.

“When can I see Uncle?”

I was eating while Hei Gyewon was folding laundry. Cousin Brother said without even looking.

“Eat one more spoonful of rice. I’ll tell you when you finish eating.”

This Cousin Brother was quite skilled at handling people.

The side dishes are delicious, so I’ll eat them!

“I ate it!”

“You should be able to go soon now.”

“Today?”

“Yeah. I think it’ll be okay.”

Hei Gyewon finished folding the laundry and plopped down next to me.

“But finish eating everything before we leave. You eat too little. You need to grow taller.”

Then he scooped up a spoonful and fed it to me.

…But I’m full?

“You’re too skinny. Eat more. I’ll only take you there if you finish everything.”

Seriously. Do I really look like a child to him?

I’ll eat first and argue later.

This nine-year-old brother stubbornly made me finish all the rice porridge.

‘He was the mastermind in the 3rd round. Why is he using that brain on me?’

After the meal ended, we began moving to where Uncle was.

“Biyu can do the dishes!”

“Huh? If I rely on your hands, who knows when it’ll be finished.”

“I’m going to grow.”

“Yeah, grow taller first.”

No, I’m good at it. I’ve lived alone longer than you have, you little brat.

After the dishes were done, Cousin Brother carried me on his back, saying my steps were too slow.

We finally arrived at a place.

“Here it is.”

It was the cave where Uncle, who suffered from madness, was confined.
