The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

 

Chapter 110

 

I blinked my eyes. There was something I remembered saying.

 

I definitely said this when we first arrived here.

 

‘Next time, it would be nice if you could consider just a little that I’m three years old. I’m very weak, you know…’

 

I had wondered why someone with no memories was suddenly acting like a guardian.

 

And he’s applying this so directly right away?

 

While I was bewildered, the Family Head lifted the curtain cloth that had been covering her body.

 

The moment her unpleasantly pursed lips were revealed through the gap, I stepped forward before the Family Head could speak.

 

“It’s okay, Dad. There won’t be anything dangerous here. This is the Family Head’s reception room, isn’t it?”

 

Since we’d come this far to the reception room, the Family Head wouldn’t harm me anymore. I had that feeling.

 

This person had been testing me, and on the other hand, she was coveting me.

 

You could tell just from how she sent me to Cheimik despite everyone’s opposition. It was only natural that she would covet me, having achieved results beyond expectations in such a short time.

 

If she was truly displeased, she would have kicked Dad and me out of here immediately.

 

‘Besides, it was strange that there were no warriors in front of the Family Head’s reception room.’

 

I nodded toward the man again. The man looked at me intently before moving his gaze.

 

“At least allow me to stand in the corridor.”

 

“That’s purely a notification, you insolent fool.”

 

“Yes, please consider it compensation for being worked like a dog.”

 

“…”

 

“I’ll take that as acceptance, thank you.”

 

The man who had carefully set me down turned around and walked out with heavy steps.

 

– She’ll definitely try to diagnose your body. Be careful.

 

A gentle voice that only I could hear by my ear. I had to hold back to keep from biting my lips.

 

‘I know that too.’

 

I straightened my posture while muttering an answer in my mind that Dad couldn’t hear.

 

…Why is he acting so familiar when he doesn’t even have his memories? It’s confusing.

 

I wondered how we could have a private conversation here when even the door had been blown away.

 

But the answer came quickly.

 

Whoooosh.

 

What seemed like wind began to blow and lightly enveloped our surroundings.

 

Dad’s wind usually has a blue tint when it takes on color, but the Family Head’s wind had a green tint.

 

Like now.

 

And this was probably to prevent our conversation from leaking outside.

 

“Well then, let’s have a talk.”

 

A quite affectionate voice could be heard.

 

“Try drinking some tea.”

 

The Family Head acted as if we were grandparent and grandchild who had known each other for a long time.

 

Her gentle tone, I could sense the childlike affection within it.

 

‘She’s completely imitating a grandmother who always cherished me.’

 

I fidgeted with the cup. The tea had cooled to just the right temperature.

 

I held the cup and only pretended to drink.

 

‘Telling me to drink something in a situation like this. Of course I should avoid it.’

 

That’s how those nobles were.

 

They would smile brightly, calling me our physician, genius physician, while playing all sorts of tricks with the tea and food they served.

 

They all did it because they didn’t know that I could treat any symptoms I developed as long as I had clean water.

 

Thanks to that, didn’t I develop the habit of always carrying a water container? And the reason this became even more serious was probably due to the Crown Prince who killed me at the end of the third round.

 

Thinking of that bastard made my teeth grind.

 

However, I composed my emotions and smiled calmly on the outside.

 

“It’s delicious but bitter.”

 

“Oh, bitter?”

 

“Blue Mountain Demon Leaves, right? I heard they only grow on the Eastern Continent.”

 

“….”

 

“I heard only people with sensitive taste buds can taste the bitterness.”

 

I continued explaining fluently to avoid suspicion.

 

The Family Head of a family I had briefly stayed with before used to collect Eastern Continent artifacts to an almost obsessive level.

 

‘Don’t you get it yet? You’re also one of the Eastern Collectibles my father gathered. Get lost!’

 

‘Ah, I understand that. So should I treat you now? Your dad said he’d kill me if I can’t cure you.’

 

‘….’

 

That family was exactly the family of the person I had considered a ‘friend.’

 

It was one of the Eight Families.

 

It was a bad relationship that didn’t start well with him. I never thought that bad relationship would continue long enough for us to become friends. Only to end up concluding as a bad relationship again due to betrayal.

 

Still, I learned a lot in that household. How those pretentious people lived, what they liked.

 

The psychology of those born with power.

 

I lowered my eyes. I had drunk that tea so much back then that I could recognize it just by smell.

 

Meanwhile, admiration crossed the Family Head’s lower face.

 

“Your general knowledge is excellent too. No, this wouldn’t be considered general knowledge….”

 

“I saw it while reading medicinal herb books, since Mountain Demon Tree Bark is used as good medicinal material.”

 

“Right. In the Eastern Wing where there isn’t a single book….”

 

A sharp doubt passed through the air. I pretended not to notice and lifted the cup to pretend to drink once more.

 

Under the table, I had been secretly fidgeting with my fingers and had opened my water container long ago.

 

“So, how is your body? I heard you were sick.”

 

You’re only curious about that now, old woman?

 

I smiled brightly.

 

“I think I pushed myself a little too hard. I wanted to make a good impression on the Family Head, so I solved it a bit faster.”

 

“A little.”

 

Of course, the time I shortened by solving the Cheimik disease wasn’t just “a bit faster.”

 

If an ordinary Advanced Physician had gone, it would have taken at least 3 months. No, since it was the Cheimik disease, no one would have succeeded at all.

 

“Well done.”

 

It was a simple praise.

 

But I knew.

 

I knew what lengths the Family Head’s children, First Aunt and Third Aunt, had gone to just to hear those words in their lifetime.

 

The Aunts’ children were also desperate to gain Grandmother’s recognition.

 

‘Mother, it’s because you didn’t acknowledge me! That’s why!’

 

I recalled First Aunt’s desperate cry that I had witnessed by chance in the first round, then quickly erased it from my mind.

 

Why should I care about their circumstances?

 

“Actually, there was contact from the Imperial Palace.”

 

I put down my tea cup and stared at the Family Head. It wasn’t surprising news.

 

‘It wouldn’t be Sylvester.’

 

It must be that other Imperial Envoy, Detlef Grote, that troublesome old-fashioned gentleman. I could clearly see how he had coveted me until the very end.

 

He must have reported this to the Imperial Palace and triumphantly sent word to our family.

 

Since it was the Imperial Envoy’s words, the Imperial Palace would have listened with interest.

 

‘That gentleman must have been pleased when I said I’d treat him again if he paid me.’

 

It was good fortune I had half-expected.

 

“It was a discreet contact. I heard you saved an Imperial Envoy. Very well done.”

 

I only sneered inwardly.

 

The kind of child who would be happy enough to easily receive the praise the Aunts had so desperately wanted had died in the first round.

 

“Thank you!”

 

I smiled like a child and bowed, while calculating thoroughly.

 

“Since I’ve solved everything, will you give me what you promised?”

 

“Of course.”

 

The Family Head’s lips curved into an arc.

 

She looked pleased.

 

“Now the Eastern District Manor is all yours. And I’ll also grant you the official Advanced Physician qualification of the family.”

 

She’s calling it a ‘manor’ when she’s just handing over abandoned land? What a cunning old woman.

 

Besides, considering what I accomplished this time, even Advanced Physician seemed insufficient, but I didn’t say that first.

 

“Not only that, I intend to recommend you to the Imperial Palace.”

 

But the words that followed were a reward I had never even thought of.
