The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

 

Chapter 126

 

‘I’m hearing this name here.’

 

I fell deep into thought. There must be a reason it suddenly came up.

 

Hei Jihye.

 

The husband of the Hei Family Head, and the person who would be my grandfather. This man from the Eastern Continent once spent a night with a woman from the Western Continent in the past. What was born from that was the illegitimate child, Hei Jihye.

 

Since her mother was from the Western Continent, unlike her other siblings, she only inherited the Western Continent appearance.

 

So just by looking at her appearance, no one could think that she was of mixed Oriental blood.

 

Even her hair color was the blonde that only existed on this continent.

 

‘That’s why Ayan liked Hei Jihye.’

 

Ayan’s mother was also from the Western Continent. So she would have felt more attachment to an aunt who was similar to herself.

 

“Ayan.”

 

I flinched and trembled my shoulders.

 

‘It would be better not to answer here.’

 

I recalled the appearance of the child I saw when I first entered this place.

 

Unfocused eyes, blank expression.

 

As if she had learned the word despair, such things could be glimpsed in the child’s face.

 

I gritted my teeth inwardly.

 

“Won’t you even talk to your aunt now?”

 

The deliberately gentle, soft voice that seemed to feign affection didn’t match the bleak storage room at all.

 

I pretended to look around here and there. As if I didn’t know the exact direction of the voice.

 

“Haha, where are you looking?”

 

I immediately realized. That laughter.

 

‘…She’s mocking me.’

 

I calmly hid my anger.

 

Step, step.

 

Hei Jihye walked toward me and crouched down in front of me.

 

“It’s a bit dirty and smelly here, isn’t it? Ah, you can’t see so you wouldn’t know it’s dirty.”

 

The moment cold hands touched my cheek, I pretended to be startled and turned my face away. Even at the blatant rejection…

 

“Your aunt had her circumstances too.”

 

The woman I glimpsed from the corner of my eye was grinning.

 

Then she grabbed my shoulder firmly.

 

“At least our Ayan should understand her aunt. Right? You love your aunt so very much.”

 

“…Ugh.”

 

“Your aunt is no different from Ayan’s mother. A child should follow their mother’s words like the sky, right?”

 

What bullshit are you spouting, you crazy woman.

 

Surely she didn’t say this to Ayan too?

 

‘When I get out and see our Ayan, I’ll definitely throw away those clothes and scrub her shoulders clean!’

 

However, despite thinking this, I trembled.

 

Having experienced the first and second rounds, I knew well what kind of reaction these perpetrators liked most.

 

‘Ugh… It hurts.’

 

The hand gripping my shoulder was quite painful and fierce. Enough to make me bite my lips hard.

 

Should I be grateful that this woman wasn’t like Dad, Uncle, or Little Uncle who received the Dragon’s Blessing and had twice the strength of ordinary people?

 

‘This person is the one who put the binding spell on Ayan.’

 

The Family Head brought this person into the family because she was a talented Water Mage.

 

Though she never expected that ability would be used to create binding spells.

 

This was also different from the Original Work.

 

In the Original Work, there was only bullying, and confinement came much later, and even then, nothing like this was used.

 

Anyway, how long does she plan to keep holding on?

 

“You really don’t cry… Uselessly brave. It would be fine if you feared your aunt a bit more.”

 

With her muttering, the grip on my hand became even stronger. I even frowned.

 

It wasn’t because of the pain.

 

It was because Dad’s expression visible over Hei Jihye’s shoulder was terrifying!

 

‘Father, no! Not yet! I’m against using force here! Absolutely against it!’

 

I pretended to feel pain and desperately shook my head with a tearful expression.

 

“Woo…”

 

It might have looked like whining, but in reality it was a signal to Dad. However, Dad’s expression showed no signs of softening.

 

Fortunately, Hei Jihye’s hand fell away before Dad could resort to force.

 

I let out a sigh of relief inwardly.

 

“Resent your father, Ayan.”

 

“…”

 

Physiological tears welled up in my eyes.

 

It really hurts.

 

I deliberately blurred my focus, but I could still clearly see the woman’s face filled with ecstasy in my vision.

 

It was a despicable face.

 

“Why on earth did Birang take the side of a strange Little One and fall out of favor with your First Aunt? It’s crazy. Doesn’t he think about his own daughter?”

 

…It’s really fortunate that Uncle isn’t here. If he heard those words, his heart would have been crushed.

 

The situation progressed so urgently that there wouldn’t have been time to dwell on the sense of betrayal.

 

But by now, he might be feeling it.

 

Fully realizing how his sister, whom he shared affection with and trusted enough to entrust his daughter to, had treated his daughter.

 

“It would have been better if your illness showed no improvement. That way, insignificant me could have controlled your father for a long time.”

 

Knowing the Original Work, I was well aware of how Hei Jihye tormented Ayan.

 

At first she appeared benevolent, but in reality, being of mixed blood, she was isolated within the family and harbored feelings of inferiority toward other mages.

 

She was someone who filled her self-esteem through Hei Birang, who followed her.

 

She was a despicable human who found self-esteem and pleasure by exercising power over those weaker than herself.

 

While her circumstances weren’t entirely without pity, she was unforgivable for taking out her frustrations on a child.

 

‘However, in the Original Work, she appears as someone who was bribed by First Aunt to torment the Child…’

 

So Sinion is behind that woman?

 

Actually, this probably isn’t the only case.

 

‘The Eight Families always work together in groups of three or four when they cause trouble.’

 

Just look at the incident where they deliberately spread the epidemic in Cheimik… I thought Sinion wouldn’t be the only one involved in orchestrating something of that scale.

 

‘Where else would participate in such affairs? Places that were particularly close to Sinion…’

 

Carmen and Belladonna. And…

 

Wolfsbane.

 

As I recalled the names one by one, I slightly lifted my head.

 

“Just stay quiet like you are now. Don’t scream, and how nice that you’re afraid of your aunt.”

 

From those words, I could somewhat understand how Ayan had been treating Hei Jihye all this time.

 

It seems our spirited Female Lead had exceptional spirit from the age of two.

 

“Just wait a little longer. Until This City… becomes full of disease.”

 

I didn’t overlook those words.

 

I wanted to hear more, but Hei Jihye seemed to have finished what she wanted to say and got up from her seat, kicking the Straw next to me with a thud!

 

“Cough cough!”

 

I naturally coughed from the thick dust. Oh no, this is bad. My cough doesn’t stop easily.

 

As I coughed for quite a while, I heard Hei Jihye’s laughter.

 

“Well then, see you again, my Niece. Next time your aunt will have become someone even more amazing. I’ll be affiliated with a place incomparably better than the Hei Family Estate.”

 

Through my tear-blurred vision, I saw the woman laughing gleefully.

 

“Suffer just a little longer?”

 

“…Cough!”

 

“Your aunt wouldn’t kill you, would she? You’re still so very useful.”

 

The woman who had been holding her stomach and bending over with laughter suddenly stopped laughing.

 

“By the way, it seems someone from the Hei Family Estate came for you, it might even be your Father.”

 

Since we revealed our affiliation when passing through the City Gate, I thought it would reach Hei Jihye’s ears too.

 

‘Does she still not know the composition of our party?’

 

Kay’s capabilities as Jeok Yunha’s subordinate might be better than I thought.

 

Here I should react like a Child who heard about Dad, right? I reacted just enough to not seem awkward.

 

“But he disappeared without a trace… Tsk. Who would have thought he’d disappear like a little rat.”

 

“…”

 

“Even so, Oriental People Here are nothing but disgusting little Rats. All of them… should be killed.”
