The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius
Chapter 10
Uncle and I have quite a deep connection.
In my first life, I died getting caught up in trying to save a patient, and the person I was trying to save was Uncle ‘Hei Biwon’.
‘How many decades has it been since we last met, subjectively speaking?’
No one could treat him.
His condition killed not only others but himself too, so he’s a pitiful person.
‘He died young in the second life too, and in the third life I was too focused on becoming great by myself and only thought about returning home.’
Since I knew that was wrong.
I came here to face the things I had turned away from.
“Is it okay to go in?”
The place where Uncle was confined was called a cave, but to put it simply, it was a large warehouse.
“Yeah, it looks like it’ll be fine.”
One side of the warehouse door was wide open and there was a red string lying on the floor.
Hei Gyewon told me that was a signal that it was safe.
“It seems he’s come to his senses.”
‘Ah, thank goodness.’
That means I can see the sane version of Uncle.
Good. If he had been in a mad state, I would have had to wait again.
‘If only Uncle had been awake, it would have been worth trying even if he was mad.’
It can’t be helped.
Competent physicians and pharmacists travel with warriors.
Due to the nature of this continent where wars rage and money is made through war, they often see dangerous patients.
“Dad seems to have gone to the garden.”
“…Garden?”
Can you really call that a garden?
The place Hei Gyewon pointed to had the ground dug up here and there, and none of the trees were intact.
“These are traces made when his madness was at its worst.”
Soon after, I spotted a man in the garden.
His long, wavy hair swayed carelessly at his waist.
His black robe was so loosely worn it could be called disheveled.
I could only see his profile, but he had a very handsome face.
Perhaps sensing our gaze, Uncle slowly turned his head.
A languid impression like a carefree wanderer. Red eyes.
I felt an eerie sensation.
‘Something… is strange.’
It was an instinct I’d developed from seeing patients for a long time.
‘Damn, his eyes have no focus!’
My whole body was sending warnings.
“U-Uncle…?”
“Th-this can’t be happening…”
When I turned my head, I saw my brother breaking out in cold sweat.
Dilated pupils. Trembling eyelids.
‘…Is it panic?’
I understood the situation at once.
I don’t know why, but the Madness isn’t over yet!
At that moment, Uncle’s unfocused face turned to stare at us as if by magic.
“Get away!”
Thud!
The next moment I fell to the ground. My shoulder hurt terribly.
‘It’s not dislocated, is it?’
When I looked up, the spot where we had been standing was deeply cratered.
‘Crazy!’
If we stay still, we’ll die!
Uncle, who had punched a hole in the ground, was dusting off his hands.
Our eyes met, and the man grinned wickedly as he tilted his head.
It was a familiar scene.
‘…Kuk, you, get away, quickly…!’
The moment I died in the first life was just like this.
“Hei Biyu!”
Hei Gyewon scooped me up. Fortunately, he dodged backward with agile speed.
“Can’t you attack with water or something?”
“What?!”
What? I’m a healer, Cousin Brother!
If I had Martial Power too, I would have beaten up the Crown Prince in the third life!
“What do we do? What should we do…!”
Hei Gyewon seemed to be panicking.
Even so, they said he inherited Father’s talent completely.
Crash!
His skill at dodging attacks while running away was extraordinary.
Finally, we faced a dead end. Cousin Brother set me down in one spot and stood beside me.
Small Lightning began crackling at the tips of his fingers.
“…I’m not confident with Lightning Strike.”
His voice trembled slightly.
“Get a grip, Uncle!”
“Haa, haa… This is strange. This madness should have ended already? You opened the door!”
“I get it, so dodge! Dodge!”
To make poison smoke like I used on Hei Daeui, I need ingredients.
“Uncle! How many minutes can you dodge!”
“Ask how many seconds…”
“So how many seconds!”
“Ugh, 30 seconds!”
That’s not enough! I opened the lid of the water container I was carrying.
The moment Uncle approached at fierce speed, my finger plunged into the water.
Swoooosh!
Water rose like a wave and covered Uncle.
“You…!”
I normally use this for diagnosis. But this way, I can make him unable to move for a moment.
“Uncle, I can’t, can’t hold on long!”
Having regained some composure, Hei Gyewon waved his hand through the air as if making the sign of the cross.
Crash! Crackle crackle!
Lightning from the boy’s hand flew out and struck Uncle.
‘It’s Pikachu.’
Amazing, brother! He’s attacking Father without hesitation!
“But why is he perfectly fine!”
“Of course, Father is also a lightning ability user!”
Tell me that beforehand! This brother of mine!
“Let’s run!”
“No, we’ll be caught right away.”
Uncle in the grip of madness really looked like a crazy person.
Seeing his eyes glowing like a beast’s between his wet hair strands, my spine felt completely chilled.
‘Can’t hold him for long.’
Fortunately we created good distance, but who knows when it’ll close again.
I took out herbs from my pocket and chewed them vigorously.
‘Damn, if only I had a little more water! Or if my abilities were more skilled!’
Whether medicine or poison, precise mixing is important. My young body and age were troublesome at times like this.
Uncle finally broke free from the water and blocked our path. Hei Gyewon drew his sword for the first time.
“I have no confidence. I’ve never succeeded in even three exchanges against Father…”
“Still, have confidence! We have to live! Trust me!”
Brother smiled faintly.
“…You’re the only one besides Father who’s ever said that to me.”
Hey, don’t raise flags!
“Would Father want this? If brother dies, who’ll cook for Biyu!”
The last part was obviously a joke.
I could feel the tension leaving Hei Gyewon’s body. Lightning began to gather at the tip of Hei Gyewon’s sword.
“Yeah, I got it. Thanks. Thanks to you buying me time, the lightning has gathered.”
So that required gathering energy? I nodded my head.
Time was sufficient for me too.
“…I have no choice but to try.”
It’s not Uncle’s fault that he’s attacking his son.
“…Father will drive us away.”
Uncle, caught in madness, supposedly only has the instinct to hunt something left.
Among madness types, it’s the most dangerous kind that moves only with ‘killing intent.’
“Haaah!”
Clang!
Hei Gyewon stepped forward and faced Uncle.
What, he fights better than I thought?
‘No, is the other side going easy on him?’
But the standoff was brief—the moment lightning began gathering in Uncle’s hands, Hei Gyewon was sent flying.
“Kugh…!”
I didn’t even have time to call for my brother. Before I could throw whatever was in my hand, Uncle was already right in front of me.
Damn, if he’s this fast…!
Damn it, Uncle. I’m a baby! And a physician! A healer who gets protection even on the battlefield!
“Damn it, Father!!”
I squeezed my eyes shut at the incoming fist.
Geez. Who would have known my 4th round would end at three years old!
Ugh, it’s just the beginning, and I barely fixed up little uncle a bit!
“…When a fist comes flying, shouldn’t you dodge it?”
A familiar voice I recognized.
At the same time, I felt my body floating up.
…I didn’t die?
I could see Uncle’s fist blocked and trembling. Water streams were swirling around Uncle’s hand.
‘Water?’
“Ugh, even the elemental compatibility is bad.”
When I looked up, I saw a sharp, aristocratic-looking face.
“What kind of suffering is this the moment I open my eyes?”
It was Uncle, Hei Birang.
