Doctor’s Rebirth

Chapter 18.1

Chapter 18.1

Human Jin Cheon-hee and Doctor Jin Cheon-hee fought.

-Then kill him right there. So there’s no chance for the physician to intervene. Even though you know it won’t work, you’re trying to save him.

Wasn’t that what he said to Yeo Ha-ryun not long ago?

‘Can it really not be cured?’

Jin Cheon-hee pondered.

He extracted every clue he had read in the novel.

“….”

Jin Cheon-hee’s clenched fist turned white.

‘But Baek Rin Eui-seon, even known as the greatest of the greatest, couldn’t cure his own constitution. Can I do it? Guumjeolmaek is nothing else but a martial artist’s constitution. Can modern medicine deal with it? It’s not a simple trauma or a disease like syphilis.’

Baek Rin Eui-seon silently observed Jin Cheon-hee.

After a while, Jin Cheon-hee spoke.

“Please make one promise.”

“What should I do to fulfill it?”

A small smile appeared on Baek Rin Eui-seon’s lips.

The sight of Jin Cheon-hee contemplating was cute, like a son. But he couldn’t smile anymore after what he said next.

Jin Cheon-hee said, “Please don’t give up on living.”

“What…?”

“I know you have an illness. No, strictly speaking, it’s a constitution. If my thoughts are correct, it might not be impossible to cure. So…”

SFX: Chill.

The hairs on the back of his neck stood up.

It was a sensation he had felt before.

It was when the Little Supreme Demon, Yeo Ha-ryun, opened his eyes. It felt like facing a tiger.

Is this what they call a killing aura?

Jin Cheon-hee’s gaze instinctively turned to one side.

Yooho was there.

Irresistible killing intent emanated from him.

His expression was expressionless. However, his face, seemingly devoid of any emotion, was actually terrifying.

‘Ugh, it’s incredibly frightening! Wasn’t he just an extra mentioned a few times in the first volume of the novel?’

“Yooho. Stop.”

Baek Rin Eui-seon raised his hand to restrain him.

‘Phew….’

Jin Cheon-hee inwardly sighed with relief.

Because the killing intent that had been suppressing him disappeared.

Yooho spoke expressionlessly.

“That kid is currently disrespecting the master, isn’t he?”

Jin Cheon-hee remained silent in response to Yooho’s words.

He knows.

How torturous it is to tell a terminal cancer patient, who has already accepted death, that there might be a new treatment, a possibility.

Jin Cheon-hee knew it better than anyone.

Yet, despite that, he had to fight.

If there really was no hope, he should give up and focus on hospice care. But if there was hope, he had to let them know. That was his profession.

However, he also knew that there was nothing crueler than that.

Hope is sometimes more cruel than despair.

Hope makes people desperate. And it makes them wail.

It doesn’t create a beautiful death, a clean and tidy ending.

‘But what does that matter?’

Jin Cheon-hee thought.

Even if the treatment is difficult, painful, and the chance of survival is not a hundred percent.

Even knowing that, he couldn’t hide the fact.

It was crueler than anything else.

Hope, even if it’s cruel, was still hope.

Jin Cheon-hee said,

“I won’t just accept without trying, and I won’t let you give up. I won’t let you die easily.”

“Are you crazy?”

Yooho slightly opened his eyes. They were filled with a murderous intent.

Jin Cheon-hee realized that when the squinted character opened his eyes, the impression was really dirty.

SFX: Thud.

Yooho took a step forward from behind Baek Rin Eui-seon and said,

“Say that again.”

SFX: Creak-

Once again, the killing intent emerged.

More viscous and suffocating than before, the sensation wrapped around Jin Cheon-hee. It was different from the celestial demon’s aura but equally lethal.

‘Kuk. This is no joke… By the way, seeing that Jaegal Lin hasn’t stop him this time, it seems he’s pretty angry…’

Jin Cheon-hee squeezed out the strength he had been saving, and then he opened his mouth.

With a determined expression, even though cold sweat flowed, he spoke rhythmically.

“I said there is a way to survive.”

“Interesting. Do you want to die?”

SFX: Grrrrr—

It sounded as if an invisible giant beast passed by, scratching the ground with its claws.

In reality, the ground beneath Yooho seemed to split.

“Stop.”

However, with Baek Rin Eui-seon’s words, that momentum instantly disappeared.

It was a strange sight. While Yooho split the ground, he stopped beside Baek Rin Eui-seon.

It looked like Baek Rin Eui-seon had blocked Yooho’s momentum.

‘…Did Jaegal Lin learn martial arts?’

Jin Cheon-hee had never seen him fight.

‘Even Gongsun Yeong-unnie couldn’t do this.’

To achieve this, he must have reached a level higher than a pinnacle master.

Jin Cheon-hee had to check the parts of the story that were not mentioned in the novel.

The smile around Baek Rin Eui-seon’s lips disappeared.

With a cold expression, he looked at Jin Cheon-hee.

“You’re quite grandiose for someone trying to deceive me.”

“This is not deception.”

In response to Jin Cheon-hee’s answer, Yooho spoke.

“Deception? Or are you thinking of tricking me with a big scam?”

“You already said you would give me the position of a disciple. What more do you want here?”

Jin Cheon-hee.

He was a child who didn’t say a word.

He was always cheerful and charming in front of adults.

He showed some unique characteristics, making him a cute child.

It seemed like he knew how to captivate people’s hearts. But now, he looked exactly the opposite.

Baek Rin Eui-seon fell into thought and then opened his lips.

“Let’s hear it.”

“Master.”

Baek Rin Eui-seon ignored Yooho’s words.

“However, if the conclusion is that you are making fun of me, I will retract the offer to take you as my disciple. Do you understand? I will never see you again.”

The weight of the words felt overwhelming. However, if he stepped back here, everything would return to square one.

“Yes.”

Jin Cheon-hee nodded. Then he took a deep breath.

‘It’s okay. It’s a familiar situation.’

He didn’t want to experience it again, but as a doctor, he couldn’t avoid this situation.

“First, listen to my thoughts…”
