The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius
Chapter 128
In my third life, I truly treated countless diseases. The epidemic treatment medicines that came from my hands were too numerous to count on ten fingers.
Yes, that’s how many epidemics I treated.
I thought it was natural for diseases and injuries to be rampant in a land where wars and battles occurred almost daily.
‘But what if most of those incidents were intentionally caused by someone?’
I carefully recalled the diseases I had treated. Surprisingly, diseases with high fatality rates all started out mild at first.
For example, they would start similar to a cold or as a mild eye infection…
Then later, when variants appeared, the symptoms became severe from that point on.
So if the disease spreading outside was an epidemic similar to a cold, it would likely become a very troublesome and severe disease later on.
‘By then it will be too late.’
A physician cannot bring the dead back to life.
Moreover, people suffering from diseases created with malicious intent.
“What do you mean from the Hei Family Estate?”
“Exactly what I said, Biyu. He looks like someone from the Western Continent, but he claims to be from the Hei Family Estate and was preaching about how vicious that family is. He was also treating people diligently.”
Uncle rubbed his chin and tilted his head.
“I may not look it, but I’ve seen quite a few physicians. But it didn’t feel like he was treating them properly.”
I thought of Cheimik. The physicians in Sinion pretended to treat people while giving them medicine that worsened their conditions.
‘Is he a pawn of this place?’
Perhaps the reason the Hei Family Estate was destroyed in my third life wasn’t simply because geniuses like the Female Lead stopped appearing.
Soon after Uncle, Little Uncle also arrived at this place.
“…How could you both come here and leave Ayan behind?”
As soon as I saw Little Uncle, I said this, and Little Uncle and Uncle looked at each other.
“My son is guarding her diligently~ Gyewon is a proper warrior.”
I was dumbfounded. How could you leave the Female Lead we rescued so carelessly behind?
That brother is only nine years old!
“How can you leave the children alone!”
“Aren’t you a child too?”
Little Uncle made a grumpy expression.
“Haha, Little Uncle here couldn’t sleep a wink~”
Uncle kept poking Little Uncle’s cheek. Little Uncle looked annoyed but didn’t stop him.
“I pushed a child in place of another child to save my daughter, so how could I feel at ease?”
“Huh?”
“It’s obvious. Unless it’s a really serious situation, you’ll endure everything because you’re worried about ruining the plan. While signaling your father to endure too.”
“…”
…How did he know? Am I that easy to read?
I kept my mouth shut since there had actually been a similar situation.
“And your father, who isn’t even in good shape, must be so reliable.”
“Hahaha, Youngest speaks well~”
What are you cheering for again?
But Dad, who should have complained about those words, remained silent. As if this was treatment he naturally deserved to receive.
Uncle crouched down to meet my eye level, as if trying to organize the situation.
“Well, the talk got long, but it means both Big Uncle and Little Uncle couldn’t sleep from worry~ It can’t be helped, but how could we be comfortable?”
Uncle gently patted my head. I nodded slightly.
“Now then. So the story progressed quickly?”
Raon, who had been quiet, took my hand and spoke.
“Biyu, the outside really needs you right now. And… for us to get out too.”
“Is the situation that serious?”
At my words, Raon looked toward Uncle.
“Fairy is in an urgent situation, right? Because the Hei Family suddenly started their black propaganda, the Lord’s subordinates who entered the territory are looking for us.”
Kay, Jeok Yunha’s subordinate, said a physician was needed immediately.
Even so, I was really bothered by leaving only Raon here, but this time Uncle stepped forward saying he would stay here.
‘On one hand… if Uncle stays here, it also means the possibility of getting caught increases.’
If they use their abilities in an emergency situation, Dad or Little Uncle can handle it quietly, but Uncle can’t do that due to the nature of his ability.
“Moving the shackle?”
They said the Lord is looking for us. The situation is already turning urgent in various ways.
‘Then there’s no reason to deliberately let myself be taken hostage.’
“Uncle Poo.”
I pushed away Little Uncle’s hand and sent him a resolute look. Soon a grin appeared on my lips.
“Shall we make our game bigger?”
I took Raon’s hand.
“Let’s escape.”
* * *
‘After wearing it for a whole day… my wrist feels light.’
Getting out of Hei Jihye’s house wasn’t difficult.
No, with Dad and Little Uncle here, getting caught became the more difficult task.
The escape was ridiculously easy.
The shackle was removed and as soon as the signal went to Hei Jihye, the guards were in chaos.
“Over there!”
“No, it was that way!”
Uncle took on the role of decoy.
“Will Uncle Baek be okay…”
“Who are you worrying about right now?”
Little Uncle, who heard my muttering, spoke as if dumbfounded.
“But Uncle Baek’s ability is so flashy.”
“That man, when he sets his mind to it, can hide his presence better than any of us. Don’t worry about him. Worry about me instead.”
“Why do you want my attention so badly? Ayan should get the attention.”
“Well, that’s obvious. I’ll get our daughter’s attention and yours too, right?”
Why did he become so shameless overnight?
“That’s not happening.”
Dad casually threw that out. I pretended not to hear and stared ahead.
Before long, we arrived at a house.
“Lady Hei Biyu!”
As soon as we opened the door and entered, someone rushed out. It was Kay, Jeok Yunha’s subordinate.
A man and woman I’d never seen before, apparently his colleagues, bowed their heads to us.
As soon as I stepped down to the floor, I heard light footsteps – tap tap tap!
“Moo! Sister!”
“Whoa!”
It was almost like a body tackle, so the impact pushed me backward.
Hey there, Female Lead? My body isn’t that sturdy…
“Sister! Ung? Moo! Da!”
“Oh… Yeah. I don’t know what you’re saying, but you were worried, right?”
Squeeeak!
The Sparrow Divine Beast sitting on Ayan’s head chirped something, and Raon translated it as “Welcome back, big sister!”
…Why am I your big sister?
“Ayan!”
Uncle lifted Ayan up high.
“I missed you!”
“Da, daa! Sister! Hehe.”
“…She’s pushing Uncle Poo’s cheek away?”
“Is she really?”
Ayan was pushing Uncle’s cheek away with her tiny hands, and it was funny.
‘…No wonder Friend used to call him a daughter fool and daughter idiot.’
I knew it already, but seeing Hei Birang transformed like a different person, even his speech becoming shorter, gave me chills for some reason.
“Welcome back. I heard a brief explanation of the situation…! *sniff* With such a small body, you must have suffered so much…!”
I didn’t know this, but Kay seemed more emotionally sensitive than he looked, as he sniffled while looking at me.
A moment later, we gathered around the table.
“There’s an epidemic going around here, right?”
“Huh? Oh, yes! Did you know about it?”
“Yeah. Just tell me the symptoms. I heard it’s like a cold.”
“…Um, well. Yes, that’s right. We’ve been staying here for quite a while, and we noticed there were unusually many cold patients.”
Actually, since it was a common illness and it was the changing season, they didn’t think much of it at first.
Their mission was to watch over Ayan while monitoring Hei Jihye.
“…And we found out that the Lord’s side is quietly hiding patients who died from the disease.”
…There are already deaths?
“Instead, among the bereaved families as well as patients whose conditions are worsening and their families, this kind of talk is spreading….”
“The Eastern People who came here spread the disease, or the Eastern People are the main culprits?”
“Yes? Oh yes…. That’s right. How did you know?”
“How isn’t important right now.”
I tapped the table lightly.
“Have you seen any of Sinion’s people here?”
“Yes? Hmm…. Ah! I heard that Sinion’s Diplomatic Mission briefly passed through around the time we arrived here.”
“Right, then next question.”
I spoke with a serious expression.
“How do the people here drink water, and where do they do their laundry?”
I listened to the answer and thought calmly.
‘Already the second time.’
At this rate, I should be able to create evidence that even the Imperial Palace can’t ignore.
If I do well here, I might be able to uproot those Sinion bastards completely.
And if disease is the problem, this story becomes too easy.
“Could you introduce me to just one patient?”
Kay made a puzzled expression before answering that it seemed possible.
“It seems… possible!”
“Oh, and by the way.”
As soon as I heard his answer, I tilted my head and smiled brightly and innocently.
“We might be chased by our Lord!”
You guys seemed capable, so are you good at running away too?
