The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

 

Chapter 125

 

Uncle and Little Uncle had strange expressions. Uncle seemed to be thinking about something, then put his hand on Little Uncle’s shoulder.

 

“You want to borrow our younger brother’s help to change appearances?”

 

“Yeah, Uncle is good at making illusions. I know Water Mages can also do facial transformation.”

 

“My, our Fairy had it all thought out.”

 

Uncle crouched down in front of me. For some reason, I felt pressure from Uncle’s narrowed eyes.

 

“If our niece hadn’t said she’d be with warriors by her side, Uncle would have opposed this by any means necessary.”

 

“…Mmhm.”

 

“Our niece is so amazing, outstanding, genius, and even pretty~ but I hope you never forget, anywhere, anytime.”

 

“…”

 

“That niece is a child who needs to be protected.”

 

Uncle patted my head.

 

“It’s not because niece is lacking or weak. It’s because that’s natural.”

 

I was a bit dazed but quickly nodded.

 

“…Thank you.”

 

“Well, it’s nothing to be thankful for.”

 

It was the moment Uncle said this.

 

Swoosh!

 

“Bu! Ba!”

 

Ayan suddenly spread both arms and blocked in front of me. I made a bewildered expression.

 

Um, Female Lead?

 

Squeeeak!

 

Even Bunting made a crying sound along with her.

 

“Hmm… Biyu, your cousin seems to think Uncle is threatening you.”

 

“Ah…”

 

At Raon’s words, I barely came to my senses and nodded.

 

‘…It’s touching, but. We just met today, didn’t we, Female Lead?’

 

I held Ayan’s hand reassuringly and soon handed her over to Little Uncle’s embrace.

 

“…Why does my own daughter like you more than me?”

 

Little Uncle also looked bewildered.

 

Leaving Little Uncle behind, Uncle patted my head once more and stood up. Then he clapped his hands.

 

“Alright, everyone heard, right? The Family Head has decided, so let’s all get moving.”

 

Uncle asked me with his hands on his hips.

 

“Sending us outside means you have something else to do outside, right, our Family Head?”

 

I scratched my cheek. How could he be so perceptive? Is this what it means to be the person who’s lived the longest?

 

“Right. It would be helpful if you could gather information from outside. Why Oriental People are being ostracized here. I think we probably need to understand this reason.”

 

“Alright.”

 

That’s when it happened. Ayan was struggling while being held by Uncle.

 

“Unnie! Ung, unnie! Unnie!!”

 

“…Hey, honestly tell me. What’s the method for getting this much attention from my daughter? Did you give her candy or something?”

 

Uncle grumbled but still put Ayan down. He positioned her in front of me and held the child’s arm.

 

“Keep your hand extended.”

 

“Ung.”

 

Along with the humming sound, water surged up around me, Ayan, and Uncle.

 

‘Wow, I saw it during the meeting but….’

 

If the water I use for Diagnosis reminds me of a slightly deep ocean color, then the water Uncle uses felt bright and even pretty.

 

It was also like transparent raindrops.

 

Crackle.

 

As the water wrapped around the bracelet, I heard a sound like something sparking.

 

It wasn’t an easy task for Uncle either, as he held the child’s arm with a concentrated expression.

 

In a short time, beads of sweat formed on Uncle’s forehead and the bridge of his nose.

 

“…It would be better to do this a bit faster.”

 

Dad’s voice, who had been silent, could be heard.

 

“The sentries seem to be returning soon. The distance is still a bit far but….”

 

“Damn, how much time?”

 

Uncle asked Dad while keeping his gaze focused on Ayan’s wrist.

 

Dad stated the time.

 

“15 minutes.”

 

“…That’s not enough, but understood.”

 

He said it wasn’t something that could be done easily. I looked at Ayan. The child who had been struggling at first became docile as if by magic when I was in front of her.

 

Time passed quickly.

 

During that time, no one could speak. Uncle was concentrating intensely to finish within the remaining time, and now sweat was dripping from his chin.

 

“6 minutes.”

 

“…Just need to do a little more.”

 

And then about another minute passed.

 

Crack!

 

I heard the sound of something cracking. When I looked in surprise, there was… a hairline crack in the bracelet.

 

“Hey, I’m about to split it in half slightly, okay? I’m loosening the seal that was placed just briefly enough not to be detected by the caster, so quickly extend your arm.”

 

“Ah, yes!”

 

I quickly extended my hand.

 

“Ha, I don’t know if this is the right thing to do….”

 

As soon as Uncle’s muttering ended, even more water surged up.

 

That was the moment.

 

Snap!

 

The bracelet split in half.

 

“Now!”

 

I quickly extended my hand, and Uncle’s hand swiftly fastened the bracelet around my arm and applied force.

 

Click! As if it had been made this way from the beginning, the split bracelet joined together and the crack disappeared in an instant.

 

“Haa, ha… What on earth is all this about.”

 

I carefully examined the bracelet fastened around my arm. It was perfectly smooth without even a trace of having been split.

 

‘It’s a bit heavy…’

 

It’s too heavy an object for a child to wear. They had this fastened on Ayan, who’s even younger than me?

 

Moreover, remembering what would soon happen to Ayan in the original work made me feel quite unpleasant. I could only think how fortunate it was that I came quickly.

 

“3 minutes.”

 

There was no time. Without even a moment to catch his breath, Uncle simply picked up Ayan and extended his hand, spreading his palm in front of my face.

 

I felt cool water on my face.

 

He was creating an illusion to make my face and body look like Ayan’s.

 

“This won’t be dispelled even if you run or roll around. Even the mage who cast the binding spell won’t notice.”

 

Wow, he’s saying he’s better than the water mage who cast the binding spell in such a way.

 

“Of course, your warrior will protect you sooo well that you won’t have to roll around.”

 

Uncle warned with a crooked expression.

 

“Tell him that if even a single scratch appears on your body, it won’t end with just kicking his butt.”

 

Uncle finished speaking with a growling tone and abruptly stood up from his seat.

 

“That warrior wants to tell you to mind your own business.”

 

Then he glared once at Dad who said this and walked toward the door. He knew well that there was no time.

 

“Hmm, there’s a back door over there. Let’s go that way.”

 

“1 minute.”

 

With barely any time left, Uncle smiled while holding both Raon and Brother Gyewon in his arms.

 

“Tell my niece that I can even cut off heads~”

 

“Biyu, you have to be careful…!”

 

Both Raon and Brother Gyewon left worried words behind and departed.

 

“That was close.”

 

Fortunately, thanks to leaving through a different door, they didn’t encounter the sentries who were on their way here.

 

With only the two of us remaining, I awkwardly scratched my cheek and turned my head.

 

“Um, well…”

 

However, I didn’t get a chance to continue speaking.

 

Crash!

 

Because the door burst wide open and someone entered.

 

Whoosh. I felt a cool wind on my face. Mysteriously, Dad’s figure disappeared from before my eyes.

 

Thud.

 

However, I felt a slight weight on my head.

 

– I’ll stay by your side continuously. Don’t worry.

 

I nodded almost imperceptibly. Now I had to become Ayan who couldn’t see.

 

– However, if they try to harm you, then I’ll just kill them all and we’ll escape.

 

At those calm but terrifying words, I froze in place.

 

Well, I understand the sentiment, but I wish he would hold back until we finish the job safely… Unfortunately, since people came in, there was no way to convey that message.

 

I shook my head to signal him not to do it, but I’m not sure if he saw me.

 

‘No, I really don’t want to see Dad’s skills from his prime if I can help it…’

 

Then, step by step. The person who had entered so menacingly finally appeared before my eyes. I deliberately looked around at other places, pretending my focus was blurred.

 

“Fortunately, the child is still in place.”

 

“What kind of attack could it have been?”

 

“Who knows…?”

 

One woman with a hoarse voice and one man with a servile tone. Though I was hearing these voices for the first time, I could immediately tell who they were.

 

Hei Jihye. She was the Female Lead’s nanny who eventually betrayed her half-brother Hei Birang and tormented the Female Lead.

 

I stayed still, but the next moment I heard something surprising.

 

“Just in case, contact Sinion.”

 

…Sinion? Why am I hearing that name here? It was the name of one of the Eight Families, and the main culprit who spread the plague in Cheimic Village.
