The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius
Chapter 109
We arrived somewhere in an instant. I had never been here before, but I could tell just from looking at the magnificent door.
“This is the Family Head’s Reception Room. And I can sense Mother’s presence here.”
Standing before the door, the man tilted his head. Why was he doing that?
Now that we were in front of the door, couldn’t we just knock?
Even the servants who had been waiting nearby when we arrived and tried to stop us in surprise had long since been blown away by the wind.
“Such tricks on the door…”
“Tricks?”
The man nodded and slightly raised the corner of his mouth.
“For now, I wouldn’t mind borrowing the temperament of that man who held you earlier and played those trivial tricks.”
“…Uncle?”
“There’s a useful term called Uncle, so why bother using three syllables?”
Then why do you deliberately use other terms instead of Brother even though you know he’s your brother?
But before I could say anything.
“Hold on tight.”
The man lifted his foot. For a moment, I couldn’t help but recall Uncle’s words.
‘Niece, watch carefully. Your dad used to be such a crazy bastard. Uncle is waaaaaay better, you know?’
Wind began to gather at the man’s foot. The man kicked the door just like that.
CRASH!
He definitely kicked it… I clearly saw the door panel flying away.
‘…Will this make a peaceful private meeting with the Family Head possible?’
They were bodyguards I brought… For the first time, I thought they might be a bit too much to handle.
He was once called the Assassination King…
Even Dad, whom I trusted, was once a crazy bastard. This was also a newly realized fact.
“Problem solved.”
At Dad’s, no. At the man’s voice, I came to my senses and looked up.
My reason, which had briefly run away in bewilderment, also returned.
‘Is this solving it? It’s causing a ruckus!’
But come to think of it…
‘Somehow I feel like the same result would have happened even if Uncle or Uncle had been here…’
I set aside my bewilderment for a moment and recalled the man’s last words.
‘Such tricks on the door…’
He definitely said this while looking at the door. If he had tried to open the door normally, there would have been some problem.
Since he manipulated wind, he seemed sensitive to his surroundings.
“Was there some kind of trap on the door?”
“That’s…”
The man started to speak but then closed his mouth.
– There was a water-based illusion cast on it. If you had opened the door normally, it would have shown a different space.
A voice came into my head. It was Dad’s specialty. I was briefly surprised by the familiar voice and then pressed my lips shut.
‘The Family Head went this far to avoid a private meeting?’
Something’s strange.
Wasn’t it the Family Head who called for me?
But starting with the Chief Administrator, then the warriors at the main gate who tried not to let us in, and finally this trick on the door…
‘If the Family Head really didn’t want to see me, she could have just refused with some appropriate excuse about what she had promised.’
The Family Head had enough of that kind of personality.
Even if she was obsessed with the family’s glory, she wasn’t someone close to being scheming.
‘Rather… it would be closer to say she ‘stood by’ while knowing these tricks were being played.’
That means she stood by even when tricks were set up in her own reception room.
Just as I was reaching a conclusion, the dust storm settled, and the man carried me into the room.
“What rudeness is this.”
When I turned my eyes, thin cloth was fluttering. Through the cloth, I could see the Family Head’s silhouette sitting by the window.
“I would have invited you quietly, yet you make such an undignified and noisy entrance.”
“Quietly invited?”
The man asked calmly.
“You did indeed. Since the invitation was rather noisy, I gave my response after much consideration.”
“…”
“I tried imitating Elder Brother.”
The man said shamelessly.
“I didn’t use Lightning Strike, did I? If Elder Brother had been here, he would have changed the entire reception room.”
Earlier he didn’t even call him brother, but now he skillfully dragged Uncle into this and used him well.
“Well, that’s not wrong… But that doesn’t make your rudeness go away, Son.”
At that moment, a sharp cutting sound was heard.
I realized it was very sharp wind after seeing Dad.
“…!!”
A small scratch appeared on the man’s cheek. A trickle of blood flowed down his pale cheek.
“How impudent.”
A sharp voice like wind scolded the man. I was startled and hurriedly wrapped Dad’s cheek with my sleeve.
“Are you okay?”
The man’s red eyes widened.
I took out a handkerchief from my clothes and pressed it firmly.
“The wound isn’t big, but keep pressing on it.”
Even though he had lost his memories, it was natural that my heart leaned more toward Dad than the Family Head.
What kind of thing is this to do to someone who only has their face to look at…!
‘What would be left if you take away even the face from this person.’
While I was having thoughts that I couldn’t tell were compliments or insults, the man also quickly composed his expression.
– I was going along with it. This way that old Family Head can save face.
A voice echoed in my head.
– That old hag gets senile often, so it’d be good to remember.
I was startled by the blunt words.
‘Does losing memory change the vocabulary you choose too?’
Why does it even feel teasing?
Uncle said Dad was like this in the past, and Uncle proved it too.
Dad, what kind of person were you in the past…
For now, this wasn’t something to think about, so I turned my head. On the table in front of the Family Head was a tea set.
There were two cups.
I stared intently at the empty seat across from the Family Head and the ownerless tea cup.
“Hello, Family Head.”
I greeted her cheerfully while being held by the man.
“Please forgive Dad’s rudeness. There were some complications getting here.”
I felt the man’s body stiffen very briefly at the word ‘Dad.’
‘There’s no need to reveal in front of the Family Head that Dad lost his memory again.’
Besides, there’s no reason to deliberately call him Uncle and announce our change.
So, that’s all it is.
I want to tell him that in my head too.
“Fortunately, we arrived right on time!”
I showed her my watch. The watch hands were pointing exactly to the private meeting time the Family Head had mentioned.
I felt the Family Head glance this way from under the thin cloth.
Of course, since her eyes were covered with cloth, I couldn’t see them, and only saw her move her head toward us.
The Family Head elegantly drank her tea, then spoke while keeping her gaze fixed on the tea set.
“Sit down.”
I realized my prediction was correct.
The Family Head didn’t orchestrate everything that interfered with us, but she probably watched it happen.
Was this some kind of test?
I couldn’t help but twist the corner of my lips.
“Only one person can sit.”
I looked at the man and nodded. But the man’s reaction was different from what I expected.
“I’m sorry, but you’ll need to prepare one more seat.”
“…!”
What is this man saying right now? Don’t you know what a private meeting means, mister?
“The child is three years old, so she needs a guardian.”
