The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

 

Chapter 113

 

I didn’t answer.

 

How she found out about this wasn’t important. What mattered was how to get through this situation.

 

I calmly stared at the Family Head.

 

‘She’s not completely certain.’

 

They say even a rotten fish has some value.

 

I thought I had thoroughly prevented her from diagnosing me.

 

“During the last meeting, your father blocked me, but for just a moment I was able to scan you.”

 

I recalled the time when the Family Head had fiercely blown wind at me from below the steps.

 

‘If you’re going to speak, please leave out the threats, Family Head. My child is still young.’

 

That’s what Dad had said at the time.

 

Dad must have also known the Family Head was trying to diagnose me and protected me.

 

“Why do I see such terminal-like frailty in you? You seem to know the reason.”

 

As expected, she wasn’t completely certain.

 

Physicians are more reluctant than ordinary people to be diagnosed. Since they know so much about diagnosis, they understand what information gets exposed.

 

Especially things that could become weaknesses.

 

“I guess my body is just weak. I’m smaller than others my age, and my stamina is poor too.”

 

I readily admitted it.

 

“From that brief diagnosis, you saw a body as frail as someone terminal, so isn’t that probably why? In this world where babies like me die early, this isn’t particularly strange.”

 

“Well, that’s not wrong. But it’s also not what I wanted to hear.”

 

Wind blew with a whooshing sound. The wind that seemed to tickle my cheek forcibly lifted my chin.

 

“I’ll stop trying to diagnose you. Instead, you must prove that you’re not frail. I’ll give you 5 years.”

 

5 years. I pondered over this suddenly given timeframe.

 

Ah, could this time be…

 

“Go to the Imperial Palace in 5 years. There…”

 

“The exam to select Advanced Physicians and Supreme Physicians… will be held that year.”

 

Among the official state physician grades, the Advanced exam is held once every 3 years, and the Supreme exam once every 5 years.

 

And 5 years from now… was the year when both exams would overlap.

 

“Oh, you know that too? What a clever granddaughter. That’s right. That year is when the exams overlap. Countless talented individuals will gather.”

 

“…”

 

“Make your name and the Hei Family known there. If you announce our strength…”

 

Greed bloomed fully across the Family Head’s face.

 

“What wouldn’t I be willing to give?”

 

The Family Head spoke as if she would give me anything.

 

Of course, even though I’m saying this now, it’s also a matter of waiting to see what happens when the time comes.

 

“If you truly boast of your talent, this should be an easy task.”

 

Well, I won’t deny it, but you’re giving me quite generous time. So during that time…

 

You think it doesn’t matter what I do?

 

If one of your daughters, one of my aunts, disappears, I wouldn’t know.

 

“Yes, I understand.”

 

The private audience was, as expected, extremely successful.

 

“Then what you’ve told me, may I consider that you’ll keep your word?”

 

However, just in case, I asked as if confirming.

 

“You may call it a contract. Family Head.”

 

“Cheeky thing.”

 

The Family Head lightly scolded and rested her chin on her hand. Without silence, the answer I wanted came.

 

“A contract, yes, as contract conditions I’ll grant what you desire. You said you wanted discipline, didn’t you?”

 

I smiled brightly.

 

Of course, Family Head. Shall I try having some backing for once? I’ll surpass you soon anyway.

‘Oh my, I’m tired…’

 

On the way out of the Family Head’s Reception Room after finishing our conversation. When I came out to the corridor through the door where one side had been blown away.

 

I was startled.

 

‘What is this situation…’

 

I saw a large, tall silhouette. Anyone could tell it was Dad, no, the man.

 

“Kheuk, keuk…!”

 

But some guy was struggling with his neck caught in the man’s hand, his face turning blue as if something terrible would happen soon.

 

‘Isn’t that Third Aunt’s Husband?’

 

The expression of the man holding Third Aunt’s Husband was beyond expressionless to the point of being bored. As if there wasn’t even anger.

 

I gulped.

 

‘I successfully finished the private audience and came out to this horrific situation…’

 

I spotted Third Aunt behind Third Aunt’s Husband, trembling in terror.

 

And seeing several warriors floating in the air caught by wind, I understood the situation.

 

Ah. They must have come to interfere.

 

“Dad.”

 

The man flinched. Why would he do that when he must have already noticed my presence?

 

The man only rolled his eyes to look at me. He appeared calm even after showing me this situation.

 

“What are you doing?”

 

The man answered calmly.

 

“I’m conducting enforcement.”

 

His voice was so gentle that for a moment I almost mistook it for a casual stroll.

 

Clearly Third Aunt, upon hearing that all interference had failed, must have rushed here to obstruct directly and ended up like this.

 

From bribing the Chief Administrator to the Senior Warriors at the Family Head’s Palace main gate, and even the attendants in front of the building, everything would be under Third Aunt’s influence.

 

‘Of course, I’ll need to investigate further whether Third Aunt was the only one scheming.’

 

By the way, Third Aunt’s Husband Bae Seonghyeon must be skilled enough to serve as the leader of Hei Gakdae.

 

But seeing him constantly getting beaten by Uncle or Dad, I can’t shake the feeling that he’s like a small-time villain.

 

Well, isn’t that actually the case?

 

“Well then, now that I’m here, you can stop the pressure, right?”

 

I spoke with complete composure.

 

“Stop it. I don’t like killing people.”

 

“….”

 

For just a moment, I felt like I was facing an untamed beast from the way the man looked at me.

 

It was a different feeling from when I faced Uncle with his eyes rolled back from madness.

 

Though unintended, it felt like experiencing Dad’s past self, just as Uncle and Uncle had mentioned.

 

“Aren’t you going? I’m hungry.”

 

Thud.

 

As soon as I finished speaking, Third Aunt’s Husband collapsed to the floor.

 

“Huff, gasp, haa haa…!”

 

Third Aunt’s Husband lay face down, gasping and breathing heavily.

 

I felt the wind wrapping around my body. Since this had been happening continuously from when I went to meet the man who lost his memory, I didn’t find it strange.

 

I settled into the man’s arms.

 

“Shall we go, Daughter?”

 

Feeling like he emphasized the last word, I glanced at the man and nodded.

 

“Seonghyeon, Seonghyeon! Get a grip, Bae Seonghyeon!”

 

The man passed by Third Aunt, who was frantically shaking Third Aunt’s Husband while holding me.

 

While I was having my private conversation, there must have been fierce resistance, as the floor was soaked with water that Third Aunt’s Husband had used.

 

Third Aunt glared in this direction. Our eyes met directly.

 

“You insolent and vulgar things, do you think I’ll just stand by and watch this humiliation…!”

 

Whether she resembled the Family Head, the aunts had always enjoyed using the insult “insolent” since long ago.

 

How ridiculous. Is everyone who’s better than you insolent?

 

I pulled up the corners of my mouth prettily and looked down at Third Aunt.

 

“Well, who will be the one standing by and watching?”

 

Sometimes I’m grateful for my pretty face that resembles Mother and Dad. People get even angrier when a weak child like me looks down on them.

 

“You should worry about your own safety instead. Well, good luck!”

 

I made a cute little fist and waved it, then tap tap, patted the man.

 

“Let’s go, Dad!”

 

Off we go, fake father.

 

* * *

 

The journey back after successfully completing the private meeting was light-hearted and enjoyable.

 

Of course, I wasn’t the one walking. I stopped swinging my legs and sneakily looked up.

 

I could see his elegant and firm jawline.

 

His appearance hadn’t changed at all, yet now there was Dad who had become a different person.

 

‘Yes, how delightful.’

 

When Dad lost his memory again, I thought he would remain trapped in unhappiness.

 

It seems I’ve become too numb to unhappiness. Since now it doesn’t even bother me.

 

That’s when it happened. The man who was carrying me while walking suddenly hesitated for a moment. After that, his steps slowed down.

 

“…My sister told me an interesting story.”

 

A low but gentle tone – I was no longer swayed by this gentle voice.

 

I decided to just think of him as that kind of person. A new person with a gentle voice.

 

“You recently took a test about your ability… and even though the results were overwhelming, the records were destroyed as they were.”

 

“That’s probably right.”

 

I said nonchalantly.

 

“The person who kept my test results secret and omitted reporting them to the Family Head would be Third Aunt.”

 

“So your talent never saw the light of day?”

 

The man stopped walking.

 

“Even though it’s remarkable enough to treat me?”

 

“Well… Can that treatment really be called a success?”

 

I hesitated before lifting my eyes.

 

“Looking at the results, wouldn’t you say it was a failure?”

 

I answered calmly.

 

The man’s eyes wavered for a moment.
