The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 117

Uncle clearly said that someone had tampered with Dad’s illness. He also said that the person who told him this was Mother.

However, I couldn’t tell whether he meant there was someone who worsened Dad’s condition, or someone who caused Dad to fall ill in the first place.

Mother, who could have given me the answer, was no longer of this world.

But the Family Head would know something.

When Mother died and Dad returned to the Hei Family Estate, the Family Head would have been here protecting this place.

So if there really was someone who meddled with Dad’s illness as Uncle said…

I was certain it would be ‘Hei Haran.’

The Family Head also had such capabilities, but making a perfectly fine son deficient wouldn’t suit the Family Head’s preference for finding talent to elevate the Hei Family.

And if Hei Haran had used some kind of trickery, there was no way the Family Head wouldn’t know about it.

Instead of answering my question, the Family Head laughed.

She remained silent even while picking up the cloth she had removed and elegantly covering her eyes again before tying it.

‘Granddaughter. Let me give you one piece of advice.’

‘…’

‘If you want to know something and try something, create your influence in this vast family and prove yourself.’

‘…Should I take that to mean you know but find it difficult to answer?’

‘Tsk tsk… Such an impudent thing. The only way you can demand the truth from me is by proving your talent and ability.’

The Family Head casually sipped her tea. I calmly watched her and thought.

‘Honestly, I’m confident I’ll look superior to you in just a few years, you damn old woman.’

But I had no intention of waiting long. I looked at the Family Head who had set down her tea cup and grinned.

‘What if I could treat Grandmother’s eyes?’

‘…What?’

‘Then would you do whatever I want?’

I make the table. You just sit and nod.

Just like the Family Head had done, I only smiled at her question of what nonsense I was talking.

‘And then the conversation fizzled out.’

Of course it did. The current me cannot treat the Family Head’s eyes. The Family Head knows this too.

But she couldn’t dismiss it as complete nonsense because I had weakened the symptoms and shown improvement in Uncle, my other uncle, and even Dad.

I emerged from my recollection.

For a while, the Family Head won’t needlessly torment me. This alone was enough.

I had already thought through how to use the Eastern Manor that the Family Head had handed over to me.

However, something more urgent had come up.

“The destination is Rikel.”

“Rikel? That’s pretty far, isn’t it? Why are you going there?”

In front of me stood Uncle Baek, Uncle, and even Brother Gyewon in a row.

Uncle seemed to have caught on to the city name ‘Rikel’ as his expression stiffened slightly.

“You saw the Chief Administrator bring the documents this morning, but the east is now my territory that I’ve legitimately taken over. I’m going to bring Ayan here.”

“Hei Biyu.”

Uncle’s voice dropped coldly. It was a tone I’d never heard before. I stared at Uncle without flinching.

‘I knew this would happen, so I brought along a fake dad!’

I didn’t avoid Uncle’s gaze while being held in the man’s arms.

“A child should be raised by family. The person taking care of her now is probably a good person, but I think she’d be better off staying with me. I’ll provide all the support she needs.”

I quickly continued before Uncle could say anything.

“And it’s safer here. Uncle Poo and Uncle Baek are both here.”

“…Why aren’t you mentioning me?”

The man interjected slightly, but I ignored him. What is this mister talking about?

‘There are other things I need to discuss besides this.’

I pondered. Should I share the entire current situation with Uncle too?

But since time was urgent, I decided to figure that out on the way.

“This is too sudden. You know what I’ve been going through…”

“I know, Uncle Poo.”

Uncle lowered his head and raised his hand to rub his face.

“Besides, that child might resent me…”

Perhaps his deep inner thoughts had unconsciously spilled out, as Uncle flinched even after saying it.

I’m sorry to Uncle, but this was my first thought.

“Isn’t Ayan younger than me?”

“Then she might not even remember or recognize me…”

Well, would she? She’s probably smart too. But you know what. If she’s really smart. Or even if she’s not that smart.

“I think Ayan would want to be next to her dad.”

I glanced at the man. Words acknowledging him flowed out more easily than I expected.

“Like me.”

“…”

“I thought I resented Dad too, but when I actually met him, it felt good.”

I stared at the man’s slightly stiffened face and shrugged my shoulders.

“And now that the genius physician sister is going to become rich, it’s right for her to grow up under her rich sister!”

“Ha, what kind of…”

Uncle laughed helplessly as if it was absurd. He looked caught off guard.

“Hey, it’s the Family Head’s decision!”

“…How old are you even. This old-fashioned little…”

Seeing Uncle’s expression gradually soften, a smile appeared on my face too.

“Wow, what a heartwarming scene, right son? We could do something like that too.”

“So you’re going to start by banishing me to another city?”

“Eek, if there’s no son, who’s gonna do the laundry?”

“….”

I couldn’t help but laugh.

Uncle was definitely either a jealous type who couldn’t stand not being the center of attention, or someone who really disliked overly heavy atmospheres.

Or perhaps he was the most mature of all.

* * *

Rikel.

A small city slightly larger than Cheimik. It’s a wheat farming area, and the further you go to the outskirts, the more it resembles countryside scenery.

“Oh, so our youngest niece is here?”

Uncle whistled sharply. He was dressed like a wanderer with a bamboo hat on his head.

Uncle, Uncle, Brother Gyewon, and the man beside them were all dressed similarly.

Achoo!

I felt Raon sneeze from my arms, or more precisely, from the bag I was holding in my arms.

‘There are a lot of flowers.’

Flowering trees could be seen throughout the city. Could she have a pollen allergy? I felt unnecessarily worried.

‘I should make some medicine for her later.’

We had arrived in this city after traveling for a little over a week.

We had given the Main Hall a plausible reason.

‘But I never expected so many watchers to chase after us.’

The reason it took longer than our originally planned schedule was purely because we spent time shaking off pursuers and strange people.

We even separated from Uncle, Brother Gyewon, and Raon midway before reuniting.

And among all of us, the one who performed the best was naturally the man who used Wind Power.

He sent the pursuers flying so far away that it reminded me of the countless home runs Dad used to hit, making me feel strangely nostalgic.

‘Somehow, I feel like he’s sent people flying far away before too.’

Why wasn’t his ability affected by his illness, allowing him to fly around just the same?

‘With watchers and pursuers appearing constantly, I didn’t have time to talk to Uncle.’

Ugh, I let out a deep sigh when I felt sharp gazes.

‘Ah, the people….’

We had just entered the city entrance.

Whether they were wary of strangers visiting, people were glancing at us furtively.

If there was one common thing, it was that their gazes were uniformly unfriendly.

Come to think of it, the guard at the entrance earlier had been very prickly too.

‘But his attitude completely changed the moment I showed him the Physician Badge proving I was a physician from the Hei Family.’

However, the reaction of people who hadn’t seen the Physician Badge was similar to what the guard had initially shown.

Their gazes were extremely sharp. Most of it was hostility.

‘Why?’

I know there are cities that don’t welcome Oriental People.

‘But this wasn’t that kind of area, was it?’
