Chapter 1041 – [Winter of Growth]

As soon as Xion made up his mind, the obligatory operation room CCTV was carried out without any problems. Opposition from medical associations? Doctors Strikehaha, try it.

I was quite frightened when Shion said that if you go on strike, you will increase the number of people who have passed the medical examination. If the pie is limited, in the end, the moment the number of people increases, their own food will also decrease.

Originally, it was difficult for the government to use such radical measures because of public opinion or approval ratings, but it was meaningless because Xion used his hands. If I don’t do it, I know it’s going to be fucked up, but what can I do?

Of course, the fact that Shion met and talked with the head of the medical association also had that effect. When we said we were victims, our complexions turned pale as we groaned.

In the end, as if roasting beans in a flash of lightning, the bill to make CCTV mandatory in the operating room was passed by the National Assembly. When it comes to members of the National Assembly, who are no different from tax thieves, they are quick at this point.

Quite a bit of time has passed since there has been a lot of fuss. Thanks to that, it feels like time has skipped.

No, are you the absolute ruler of time?!

“Baby is pretty”

“Isn’t it? Eden used to be so cute, but now he’s grown this much.”

“Soohyuk, let’s play together when we grow up later~!!!”

Soo-hyeok was lying on the crib and sleeping. As time passed, the wrinkled appearance disappeared without a trace, leaving only the cute baby figure.

By now, the child’s features catch her eye. Even though she is a boy, Jiyoon resembles her sister quite a lot, so it seemed that she would be handsome later when she grew up.

“Your nose resembles your father. To be honest, my father’s nose is better than my sister’s.”

“Will you do that with that?!”

“But how are you raising your baby? Breast milk? Or formula?”

“With powdered milk. Originally, I was going to raise it with breast milk, but I heard that my milk doesn’t come out well.”

“Okay?”

That part was unavoidable. Even if you are a peak master, your constitution itself is unavoidable. If you can overcome your constitution or have been able to do so, the influence of your constitution will decrease as you become a master.

If it’s something like an illness like the syllable artery, you don’t know… It’s strong and healthy, but if the peak master doesn’t produce milk well, that’s a constitution that can’t be helped. Maybe if it wasn’t for the peak master, it would have come out less than it is now.

“I’m going to find out if I can get some breast milk donation through an acquaintance. These days, powdered milk isn’t bad, but it’s still better for children to grow up eating breast milk.”

“Really?”

“Can’t you see our Eden?”

“Five!!!!!!”

Eden boasts of his size while cheering for his story. She is now in her second year of elementary school. No, in a few months I will be in the 3rd grade, but my level of development is that of a middle school student.

You will probably look like a high school student by the time you graduate from elementary school. Really, our Eden is no joke.

Anyway, I said that I would accept breast milk donations for convenience, but in reality I am planning to turn into a woman and express breast milk. Even though they are not related by blood, they are my sister and my family.

If you do that, you will grow strong even if not to the level of Eden. Eden is not only because he grew up on my breast milk, but because he inherited my blood, his body itself is unique.

The child seems to be growing well, and thanks to that, it seemed that she could spend this year without any problems.

But bad news comes suddenly. It was no different for me.

One day a phone call informed me of the news.

“Yes?”

The opponent was the Blue Dragon Master. I usually answered the phone, wondering if he had called because of a report on the Garden of Eden, but that wasn’t the case this time.

“Okay, what’s going on?”

-Ah, senior. Sorry for calling you while you are busy.

“No, I’m fine right now. But what about the Garden of Eden? If it’s about that, you’re probably entrusting most of it, right?”

-It’s nothing else……. Mrs. Kim Ryu-hwa’s work.

“Mrs. Kim?”

She was injured during an exorcism at the former head house of the Geumsan Cho family and was admitted to the hospital. I heard that she will recuperate for a while. So she often sent me fruits from the Garden of Eden, including nectarines and peaches, which are said to rejuvenate and prolong life.

Aside from other things, there is no problem in restoring health even if it is just nectarine and peaches. After recovering a certain amount of physical strength, you can leave the hospital and eat.

If you eat at the hospital, out of nowhere you’ll see that you’ve gotten decades younger and go crazy. But why?

-Mrs. Kim seems to think she’s not going to eat nectarines anyway.

“What?”

-I think I ate a little bit of fruit, but I guess…

Every crop in the Garden of Eden is of the highest quality. And it has a lot of nutrients too.

Eating it is good for health, but on the contrary, it’s only about that much. It is said that unless it is something like a nectarine, you cannot forcibly increase a person’s lifespan.

For the dying, the Garden of Eden’s crops serve only to alleviate suffering. If you really want to live, you should have eaten nectarines.

“I understand. See you soon.”

– Yes, I would like to ask you, senior.

I don’t know what you’re thinking, but originally, it’s human nature to want to continue life somehow. If you’re a rich man who will die tomorrow, it’s only natural that you want to extend your lifespan even if you give away all your wealth.

There are several cases for people who choose their own death. If Mrs. Kim fits that category…

“Eden, do you want to visit the ghost grandmother soon?”

“Ugh!!!! I want to go!!!!!”

“Okay, I’m going this weekend, so get ready.”

“I have to give grandma some delicious fruit!!!!!”

Eden selected some of her fruits to give to Ms. Kim as a present for her hospital visit. Originally, fruit gift sets are the most common when visiting patients, but seeing as Eden is determined to do so, it seems that he is not trying to give something ordinary.

And after she went to school in Eden for a few days before going to visit her in the hospital, she went back and forth to the Garden of Eden on a dragon walk, gathering the finest fruits.

They brought not only simple things like apples, pears and persimmons, but also tropical fruits like mangoes, papayas and dragons.

It’s not a problem that tropical fruits grow in the Garden of Eden, where they grow well regardless of the climate. Thanks to this, there are all kinds of fruits in the world, so it is rather difficult to find them than to grow them.

“It’s done!!!!”

“Uh huh, can you hear that?”

“If you can’t use your spiritual power, you can’t hear it”

“Is that enough?!”

The tower of fruit sets that Eden had built was inexhaustibly gigantic. Eden, who could knock down an adult man with spiritual power, said that he couldn’t lift it without using spiritual power, which meant that he could gain at least several tens of kilos.

My daughter’s hands are as big as she eats. I am very curious about what will happen when I present something to eat later.

Anyway, on the weekend, we went to visit Mrs. Kim Ryu-hwa in the hospital. Eden’s fruit gift set was a little better after I heard it. If it wasn’t for that, it would have been hard to carry.

We move to the hospital room we were informed of. Ms. Kim was recuperating in a nice single room, perhaps earning money as a shaman.

As soon as he entered, Eden saw her for the first time in a while and rushed to him.

“Ghost Grandma~!!!!”

“Hey, our Eden is here!!!!”

She was more emaciated than before. I don’t think I’m going to die tomorrow, but I can definitely tell that it hurts.

“Okay, how are you?”

“Ugh!!!! I just had a fight with my classmate and went out with a friend…”

“Looks like you had a lot of fun.”

“But it was good!!!! Oh, grandma, this is a gift!!!!!!”

“No, what gifts did you bring so many?!”

“I brought you to eat a lot and be healthy!!!!!!”

It’s not like Eden couldn’t understand it either. Because Eden is still not familiar with her death.

Although she had experienced the death of Mang-mung-i before, it was when Eden was young and she was the death of a non-human animal. Therefore, perceptions are bound to be different.

“Oh, thanks to our Eden, Grandma will live a long time…… Yes, thank you, Eden.”

“Uh!!!!!!”

She stroked Eden’s hair. She’s not just petting, she’s doing it with care. To the extent that I feel different even when I look at it.

Also, Mrs. Kim and I have to have a serious talk, but since Eden is here, we took a moment. It is only natural that we cannot talk about Mrs. Kim dying.

“Okay, are you okay?”

“Yes, there is no major problem, just physical strength is falling.”

“If it were just that, there would be no problem, but…”

Often there are people like that.

There is nothing wrong with the body itself. Yes, like Ms. Kim now, the scars on her body are not a big deal.

But even though she is in such a state, her stamina drains out. So she ends up dying.

It’s not that it hurts, it’s just that she thinks so. As the doctor says, the patient’s will is important, and this time, her will is important, but she does it because she does not want to treat herself.

The look in her eyes gave her a sense of familiarity. She wasn’t prepared for her death or anything like that, but she was the kind of person who had no spare time.

“…….Eden, would you like to go out and get some coffee?”

“Coffee~?”

“Yes. There is probably a cafe on the first floor of the hospital. Go and buy 2 cups of caffe latte and something Eden wants to drink. I’ll give you a dad card.”

“Okay!!!!!”

Eden takes her card from me and leaves the hospital room. Thanks to that, a place was prepared for me and Mrs. Kim to talk openly and coolly.

In response, she pulls out a small box of her own from a drawer beside her bed. It smells fragrant and emits the scent of unrotten fruit even after a considerable amount of time has passed.

“First of all, I want to give this back to you.”

“I don’t know what kind of symbol it is to return something you gave me to eat.”

Nectarine, which rejuvenates people, cannot rot. It is something that can be stored for a long time.

However, even though the sweet taste would surely be attractive not in the sense of appetite, but in the sense of life, she did not eat it.

“If it were me before, I’m sure I would have eaten it. There’s a lot of work to do.”

“I still have a lot of work to do. I should watch Eden teach me and become an adult.”

“You’re not even going to get married.”

“My Eden will live with me forever”

Haha, I wonder if that will happen.”

What, why, what Are you dissatisfied with the fact that your daughter lives with her father for the rest of her life?

Of course, someday, Eden will leave my side, but that was not the near future. Even if the Absolute of Destiny plays tricks, Eden and I will find a partner worthy of our hearts only in the distant future.

And, of course, you have to endure at least the chest level.

“Having been working as a shaman for decades, I’ve achieved a lot. I’ve made connections and gained strength.”

“Okay”

Being possessed by demons does not discriminate against people. On top of that, if you are one of the best psychic people in Korea, it is not a job to build a network or have power.

There was so much to build up. It’s just that you can’t take it with you.

“But now that I’m older, I think it’s better to leave what I have than that. But I don’t have children.”

“What about bloodlines?”

“I got married when I was young… But my husband and children died early.”

“It’s so frustrating. I understand the pain.”

The pain of a spouse dying first may be natural. But the pain of a child dying is more painful than a parent.

Originally, it is the law of the world that parents die early and children live longer. However, if the child dies first and the parent survives, that is against the logic. And with that misalignment comes pain.

She lived through that pain. As for what the driving force is… Well, you don’t need to know now.

“Before I met Eden, I would have eaten nectarines, but I don’t have to.”

“Thanks to Eden?”

“Yes, although they are not related by blood, Eden is a child who can continue what I have inherited.”

“Eden won’t become a shaman”

“But it doesn’t matter. I knew it from the beginning. Even if it’s not a shaman, if it continues, it won’t stop.”

“Is that enough?”

“Yes, that’s enough”

Everyone wants to carry on what they have inherited.

I don’t know if it’s because it’s an instinct as a creature or because it’s a waste of what I’ve built up. However, it sometimes remains in the form of tradition and is passed on to future generations.

She had no regrets as she was looking for someone to carry on what she had inherited. If you think about it, Eden’s knowledge of exorcism was almost the same as what she learned.

“If you say you don’t have to live longer, then that’s proof that you’ve lived a full life. I will respect your will.”

There are many ways to prolong Mrs. Kim’s life. You can feed her the nectarine over there right now, or if you don’t like it yourself, you just need to somehow catch and stretch her life curve.

If there is no room for further expansion, I can supplement it with my will and increase it…… Then I will be able to live somehow.

However, if she is satisfied and has no time left, it is better to leave it as it is. It is human to live as you like, and it is human to die as you like.

After I finished talking, I came out of the hospital room. Eden was waiting in front of the hospital room door as if he had already bought coffee.

“Dad… Grandma, are you dying because of me?”

It seems like you’ve heard all the stories. Eden, who knows what death is, at least more than the other kids, puts on a gloomy expression.

I said while patting Eden’s head.

“It’s not because of Eden. She’s because of Eden. She has Eden, so her grandmother doesn’t leave her regrets and she can die.”

“But dying is sad.”

“But it’s okay to die without leaving any regrets behind.”

“It’s strange. But to die is to die.”

“If you can understand that, it will be proof that Eden is becoming an adult. I hope Eden can understand her grandmother’s heart someday.”

One life is born and one life is lost.

The world was spinning as usual.
