The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

 

Chapter 124

 

The moment of reunion was brief. It was disappointing but natural. This was still enemy territory, and we had to make a choice.

 

“…Shouldn’t we take her with us?”

 

“Of course we should take her!”

 

Brother Gyewon asked cautiously, and Uncle shouted as if it were obvious.

 

Dad used wind to prevent the sounds in this space from leaking outside while setting up a perimeter around the building.

 

Ayan was being held like a doll in Uncle’s arms. I knew Uncle was tall, but he’s the most slender among the Three Brothers…

 

I thought Ayan really was small.

 

“Woo, da! Da! Da!”

 

“There, there. Ayan? Um, Dad is in a meeting right now…”

 

“Dada! Woo! Cha!”

 

Ayan was held by her dad and whimpered for a moment, but she was truly a spirited child.

 

I didn’t know what she wanted right now, but she was pulling Uncle’s sideburns like drawing thread and pointing at something.

 

“Raon, is baby talk difficult to interpret by any chance?”

 

“Yeah, unfortunately…”

 

I asked half-jokingly, but when Raon answered apologetically, I quickly said it was fine.

 

Then Raon tilted his head as if puzzled.

 

“But Biyu… if I’m not mistaken, I think that baby is pointing at you.”

 

“Huh?”

 

It was true. I wondered what she was pointing at, and it turned out to be me.

 

“Da! Woo! Woowoo! Cha! Da!”

 

Our spirited Ayan. She managed to grab Uncle’s hair like horse reins and came all the way to me.

 

Uncle reluctantly put the child down.

 

‘Her vision probably isn’t completely restored yet, right?’

 

The medicine I gave was one that temporarily boosts recovery. Ayan toddled over and grabbed my sleeve.

 

“Moo!”

 

She looked at me and thrust her face right up to mine. She was just like a curious bunting.

 

“Moo! Moo!!”

 

Then she smiled brightly as if she could finally see clearly.

 

“Woowoo? Woong? Moo? Moowoo?”

 

“Huh? Water… you’re saying water, right?”

 

I quickly gestured to Uncle. Uncle floated a few water droplets in the air.

 

But Ayan shook her head vigorously.

 

Chirp chirp chirp! Chirp!

 

Unable to stand it anymore, Ayan’s divine beast fluttered over in front of me and cried out something.

 

“Um… Master seems to want to know the benefactor’s name. Though she is young, she clearly understands gratitude and is a remarkably intelligent person…! Or so it says?”

 

Raon translated for me.

 

‘What kind of grudge could there be against a two-year-old…’

 

But divine beasts can communicate with their masters to some extent, can’t they? It wasn’t completely unreasonable, so I nodded.

 

First, I need to calm this child down and quickly decide how to get out of this place.

 

“I’m your big sister. Sis-ter.”

 

“Ung? Ung! Ung!”

 

“Sis-ter.”

 

“Ung-ter!”

 

…What kind of adorable creature is this? I’ve seen countless child patients, but is the Female Lead really different after all?

 

I became a little serious.

 

“Yes, my name is Hei Biyu.”

 

“Bi! Bi!”

 

“But I’d like it if you called me sister.”

 

“Ung! Ung-ung-ni!”

 

“Not ung-ung-ni, just ung-ni… No, that’s fine.”

 

The child probably couldn’t see very well, yet she looked at me with sparkling eyes that were almost overwhelming.

 

The bunting sitting on the child’s head like it was nesting also looked at me with sparkling eyes.

 

…It’s overwhelming though.

 

‘What is this inexplicable affection?’

 

It wasn’t just me who felt this way – Uncle was covering his face with both hands in despair beside us.

 

“Ayan? What about Dad? Call Dad properly too… This is unfair! What did you do to my daughter?”

 

“Ooh, jealousy is ugly, little brother~”

 

Anyway, this wasn’t what was important. I let Ayan’s small hand grab my clothes and looked up.

 

“We need to make a choice quickly.”

 

The moment we take Ayan out, we need to think about leaving this city.

 

Since we’ve caused such a commotion.

 

‘That shouldn’t be difficult with help from Jeokyunha’s subordinates.’

 

However, that was the problem.

 

Our group includes two babies counting myself, and Brother Gyewon is still young so he can’t move at adult speed, making fast travel difficult.

 

No matter how much Dad conceals our presence, it’s impossible for us outsiders to perfectly evade everyone’s eyes while on the run.

 

That’s why it would be troublesome if this region’s lord, who strangely rejects Oriental people as Uncle mentioned, issues a wanted order.

 

“If we’re going to take her, we need to solve one problem first.”

 

Dad, who had been quiet, pointed toward Ayan’s arm. Following his gaze, I saw an iron bracelet around the child’s arm.

 

It looked like shackles. It had been bothering me since earlier.

 

“A shackle…”

 

Uncle muttered almost in lamentation. Then he gritted his teeth.

 

“A shackle…? The kind the Imperial Palace puts on criminals?”

 

“Yes. That’s a type of shackle.”

 

Dad explained.

 

That bracelet on Ayan’s hand was similar to the tracking scent that had once been planted on Uncle and Dad.

 

A shackle is an object that a mage engraves, and if you leave the designated area, the mage will know immediately.

 

It’s mainly used on family traitors or serious criminals, and can be seen as more vicious and a superior version compared to tracking scent.

 

‘No wonder the internal security here seemed quiet to the point of being lax…’

 

“Can’t you remove it?”

 

“If I remove that thing, in 1 minute—no, even just 30 seconds—a signal will go to the mage. My, they’ve made it with a truly vicious method. This is for high-level prisoners, isn’t it?”

 

Uncle clicked his tongue.

 

“What about breaking it?”

 

“It’s possible, but since a high-ranking mage put their heart and soul into making it, it’ll take time. And even if we break it, the other party will find out.”

 

“…”

 

Whether we remove this even briefly, break it, or go outside, they’ll notice.

 

“…Can we properly escape?”

 

We just need to return to the Hei Family Territory. At my words, the Three Brothers looked at each other.

 

The way they only exchanged glances looked like they were silently communicating something to each other.

 

Then Uncle grinned and leisurely raised his hand.

 

“It’s possible~ What if Uncle stays here?”

 

“Rejected.”

 

“Eh? Why?”

 

The question burst out from Dad. I shook my head with a firm expression.

 

“In the worst case, you might get caught by the Lord as a wanted person, right?”

 

“That’s true, but…”

 

“Then what about treatment during that time?”

 

Both Uncle and Dad are still patients. And if the cycle of taking the medicine I made slows down…

 

They could harm people or their lives could be in danger. I hadn’t forgotten that point.

 

‘I don’t want to leave Ayan here though…’

 

I thought of one thing.

 

“What if, I mean, could we possibly infiltrate here again?”

 

“Hey, Hei Biyu!”

 

Dad shouted. Ah, I don’t mean leaving our cute Female Lead behind, so calm down, Dad.

 

“Don’t worry. How could I leave Ayan behind? I’m just asking.”

 

“There shouldn’t be a problem.”

 

“But won’t security be much stricter after this?”

 

Uncle answered and I asked once more.

 

Uncle looked over the group once and nodded lightly.

 

“When we come back, we won’t be moving with such a large group. The infiltration itself should be possible not just for me, but for both of those men over there too. Assuming it’s just one person or with just one child.”

 

“Those men…”

 

What a cold way to address them. Uncle and Dad don’t even care though.

 

Well, anyway, that’s good.

 

‘That’s what it means.’

 

I made my decision.

 

“This shackle, so breaking it is possible, right?”

 

“…It’s possible, but. If you break it, a signal goes to the mage, you know?”

 

Uncle frowned as if finding it strange, but obediently gave me an answer.

 

“Then what about loosening it slightly and putting it back on?”

 

“…To what extent?”

 

Uncle looked like he didn’t understand my question, but after thinking it over, he spoke.

 

“First of all, this seems to be cast by a Water Mage, so I’d have to do it, you know? What you’re saying… you mean temporarily releasing the seal and then putting it back on? So it can be taken off briefly?”

 

“That’s right.”

 

As expected, being a mage of the same type, his understanding was quick.

 

“It’s possible, but it’s useless unless you put it back on immediately. What are you trying to do?”

 

“Good, so taking it off and having someone else wear it wouldn’t be a problem either, right?”

 

Uncle crouched down in front of me as if his patience had run out. He stared at me intently, and I could feel Dad approaching my way.

 

He doesn’t seem angry though?

 

“That wouldn’t be a problem… But are you saying one of us should wear it and become bait? It’s a good idea, but… I don’t know which crazy bastard made that thing, but it’s child-sized. We can’t fit into it.”

 

“No? I’m not saying Uncle Poo and Uncle Baek should wear it.”

 

“Right? Well, it is child-sized…”

 

“That’s right, a child. There’s one more here.”

 

I tapped my chest lightly. Uncle, who had been explaining, widened his eyes. The smile disappeared from Uncle Baek’s face as well.

 

“I’ll stay here.”

 

“What?”

 

“No way.”

 

“Biyu, it’s dangerous…!”

 

Before the words were even finished, Uncle Baek and Raon’s refusal and protests burst out. It was what I had expected.

 

“Who said I’d be alone? There’s someone here who can hide their presence and protect me.”

 

I turned my head. My eyes met with Dad’s.

 

“Isn’t that right, Warrior?”

 

I smiled brightly. Dad’s expression became blank.
