The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

 

Chapter 129

 

From the moment we first made our plan, the Eight Families were inevitably going to be enemies we’d have to face.

 

‘Let’s take this opportunity to give them a good hit.’

 

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could reduce our enemies by one with this chance?

 

Besides, Sinion was a family that would only become more troublesome as time went on.

 

‘Their relationship with Hei Jihye seemed pretty solid too.’

 

Given Hei Jihye’s personality filled with inferiority complex, she would have created evidence out of anxiety that Sinion might betray her.

 

If we search the house, we’ll find it.

 

‘Now I have a reason to go back there.’

 

I smirked thinking about how Hei Jihye must be in complete panic right now after discovering Ayan’s disappearance.

 

There was a grand plan behind releasing the shackle to trigger the alarm.

 

Now that Ayan has disappeared, Hei Jihye will only focus on finding Ayan.

 

She won’t be able to pay detailed attention to what’s happening in this city.

 

“Um, Lady Biyu…? Being chased, what’s going on?”

 

Kay asked with a flustered expression.

 

However, seeing him quickly regain his composure, I thought Jeok Yunha had chosen her people well.

 

I explained to Kay several things that had just happened.

 

As my explanation continued, amazement and intrigue crossed Kay’s face.

 

“Indeed…”

 

Thanks to this, Hei Jihye will be slow to realize what we’re doing.

 

“Don’t worry too much, and can you do as I ask?”

 

* * *

 

A little while later.

 

I confirmed once again that Kay, Jeok Yunha’s subordinate, was quite capable.

 

‘I asked him to introduce me to a patient, but he found one this quickly.’

 

He said there happened to be an elder he had grown close to while staying here, and immediately guided me there.

 

‘If you treat this patient, you’ll get what you want.’

 

He also told me not to worry about maintaining secrecy.

 

‘They said they haven’t been here very long themselves, so when did they become friends with someone in such a position?’

 

It seems there’s a good reason why Jeok Yunha will create one of the Empire’s Top 3 Trading Companies in the future.

 

‘And don’t worry about the other task you assigned, I’ll prepare well so it won’t interfere with Lady Biyu’s grand plan! I just need to help Lord Hei Biwon, right?’

 

The way he prepared clothes right away, and how quickly he understood what was being said.

 

‘And I’ve also roughly organized the symptoms of the patients you asked about.’

 

I pondered over Kay’s words in front of the patient’s house.

 

‘Muscle pain, cough, and high fever. For severe patients, there were also chills and breathing difficulties, wasn’t it?’

 

When I looked up, I saw Dad wearing a mask up to his nose.

 

I looked down at the white gloves on my hands, then nodded to Dad suggesting we go inside.

 

“This way.”

 

Kay was busy with a separate task I had assigned him, so another woman who was Kay’s colleague accompanied us.

 

Her name was Nora. She said she became a subordinate after receiving kindness from Jeok Yunha.

 

“…Um, the patient might hear Biyu’s name or say harsh words when seeing Hei Bihu.”

 

“Mm, it’s fine.”

 

“Among those of us dispatched here, there happened to be no Oriental Person or mixed-blood, so things worked out well.”

 

Nora gave one more warning as she opened the door.

 

“Cough, who is… is that you, Nora?”

 

“Yes, Elder. How have you been?”

 

Nora instantly put on a friendly expression. She skillfully approached and supported the patient.

 

‘Amazing. She’s so composed even though she must have heard about the epidemic.’

 

Contact with patients meant they had to be prepared to catch the disease themselves. Even after hearing this, Jeok Yunha’s subordinates remained calm.

 

They said all missions always carry dangerous variables.

 

‘Haha, besides, aren’t we with an excellent physician from the Hei Family? If we happen to catch the disease… please take care of my colleagues before me.’

 

I also learned that Kay was quite a decent leader.

 

I quietly stared at the patient Nora was supporting. A man who appeared to be in his 80s. His eyes were half-open and he seemed to have a fever.

 

‘This would be a more fatal disease for the elderly.’

 

I was certain. This was also a disease from my memory.

 

‘The disease that caused endless suffering because variants kept appearing. To see that damned disease again like this.’

 

On one hand, it was absurd.

 

This was an epidemic that would spread nationwide about 7 years from now, but it had already started before then.

 

‘If I had to guess… was it to create a disease with a higher mortality rate?’

 

They probably needed test subjects to create effective variants.

 

Without caring at all about the lives of the people being sacrificed.

 

‘And they probably watched smugly from their safe places, feeling satisfied?’

 

Obvious.

 

“…Who are those people? Cough!”

 

The sound of a phlegmy cough came out.

 

I waited for Nora’s explanation while quietly observing the patient.

 

Despite being too old and having stamina too weak to endure the disease, his eyes were bright and alert.

 

This is mental strength.

 

And although he’s acting like an ordinary elder, his movements are strangely disciplined, and his build is quite large.

 

“I told you which city I’m from, right? Since it’s Hei Family Territory, I have some connections there. Plus, a distant relative came to visit and happens to be a physician, so I thought of you first, sir. You live alone and haven’t been taking proper care of your body.”

 

“Hmph, you want me to show my body to those damn Oriental People?! Forget it, tell them to get lost!”

 

“Oh come now, you know what kind of place the Hei Family is, don’t you? You’re sick. At this rate, you won’t even be able to do business…”

 

“…”

 

The elder supported by Nora coughed and seemed to glare at Dad for a moment.

 

“This illness is because of someone…!”

 

“Grandfather…”

 

When Nora made a tearful face, the elder frowned and turned his head away sharply.

 

At that moment, Nora winked at me. Meaning it was working. Wow, Elder Sister is quite the actress.

 

“Damn it, if anything happens to my body, I’ll report it to the Lord immediately!”

 

The elder shouted in a cranky voice while glaring at Dad.

 

Nora corrected him.

 

“Ahem, sir, the physician isn’t over there, but over here.”

 

“What? The only black-haired one is over there, isn’t it? Who else is there… that child?”

 

As soon as our eyes met, I smiled harmlessly at the elder who was blinking in confusion.

 

Wearing the Western Continent clothing Kay had given me, even I thought I looked pretty and gentle.

 

“…What, what kind of child. A physician. Are you playing some joke on me right now?!”

 

“I won’t hurt you, Grandfather.”

 

I smiled brightly and stretched out both hands. The elder who had been staring at me blankly unconsciously reached out his hand.

 

Dad’s arms holding me tensed slightly. As if saying it wasn’t allowed.

 

I gently tapped Dad’s hand to signal that it was okay.

 

“No contact.”

 

Dad whispered just loud enough for me to hear, then immediately lifted my body into the air.

 

Seriously, even though I told him plenty of times that I can recover even if I get sick.

 

I shrugged and floated gently in front of the elder.

 

“Hello, Grandfather.”

 

I bowed politely and smiled. Right now, lowering his guard was the priority.

 

“Grandfather, I’ll make it so it doesn’t hurt. So please don’t be surprised, okay?”

 

“Uh, uhh?”

 

I opened the water container and wet my finger with water. In an instant, the elder was trapped in water.

 

As he struggled, I placed my hand on the water as if to say it was okay. The elder who had been quietly watching my smile slowly calmed down.

 

“…He has a granddaughter around Biyu’s age, they say.”

 

Nora, who had approached at some point, whispered quietly enough for me to hear. I see.

 

“Then I should work even harder to make him better.”

 

Nora was carrying a fairly large backpack. When I nodded at her, she quickly opened the bag.

 

‘Well, as expected, it’s that illness.’

 

In the past it had a different name, but it’s an illness I used to call ‘mutant flu’ in my mind.

 

It starts with light coughing and muscle pain at first, but after a certain period, it’s accompanied by high fever and loss of smell or sight.

 

Gradually, they lose their other senses as well, and die from respiratory difficulties and pneumonia.

 

Originally, it wasn’t a disease with a high fatality rate, but as if someone had modified it, people who caught the disease were dropping dead left and right.

 

‘Come to think of it, only certain regions had particularly high death rates.’

 

Those were regions where families opposed to the Eight Families were located. Those crazy bastards. How is this any different from a massacre?

 

“Don’t worry, Grandfather. It won’t hurt at all.”

 

I won’t give painful injections or prick you with sharp acupuncture needles.

 

‘Ah, but I think I’ll need acupuncture soon. Should I really go meet that old acquaintance?’

 

Even while thinking this, the water streams moved swiftly. Infectious diseases always made medicine creation much faster.

 

It was unavoidable. When people were collapsing by the second, minute, or hour, there was no time to delay.

 

Those times had been carved into my mind.

 

Soon, a semi-transparent green-tinted medicine was created and naturally absorbed into the patient.

 

‘Usually with infectious diseases, I conserve energy and only treat enough for natural healing.’

 

But now I need dramatic results.

 

After the medicine dissolved in water and entered the patient’s body, I released my diagnosis.

 

The patient looked down at his hands in bewilderment.

 

“The, the cough and fever…”

 

“That’s fortunate. You must have been in more pain than you thought. You endured it thinking it was nothing serious, didn’t you?”

 

“…”

 

“You already knew you were in critical condition.”

 

The Elder’s shoulders trembled slightly. Only then could I properly see the Elder.

 

His body, which had been hunched over from enduring chills, straightened, and as the redness from fever and coughing faded from his complexion.

 

I could see a body that was upright and healthy for his age.

 

“…Who exactly are you, little miss?”

 

Politeness tinged his gruff voice. I slightly raised the corners of my mouth.

 

‘But if the disease has spread this much, it would be hard for the Lord’s family to avoid it too, wouldn’t it?’

 

This was the thought I had as soon as I was certain it was an infectious disease. So I immediately asked Kay about this.

 

Fortunately, among Kay’s group, there was someone who had been monitoring the Lord’s movements just in case.

 

There were rumors that since the infectious disease outbreak, the Lord’s youngest son hadn’t been seen at some point.

 

“My name is Hei Biyu, an Advanced Physician of the Hei Family.”

 

I felt proud of how much I had practiced to get the name right before coming here.

 

The Elder stepped closer.

 

“…I heard that someone from the Hei Family had entered this city. Was that you, miss?”

 

“Yes, that’s right.”

 

The Elder looked at the floor for a moment, then raised his head with determination. His expression was resolute.

 

“Could you… could you see just one more patient? No, this old man earnestly begs you. No, I beg you.”

 

Desperation filled the Elder’s face.

 

According to Nora, this Elder’s name is ‘Bans’.

 

He’s a former butler of the Lord’s Castle.

 

I smiled wickedly to myself.

 

‘Go ahead, Hei Jihye, chase after Ayan with all your might.’

 

Without knowing what’s happening behind you. Experience the feeling of slowly sinking for once.
