The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

 

Chapter 132

 

Long ago, the most difficult part of treating this disease was finding the exact medicine.

 

On Earth, the common cold was a disease humanity couldn’t overcome. That was because new mutant viruses kept emerging.

 

It was similar Here.

 

The reason I found this mutant flu, which I sometimes called ‘fake flu,’ so troublesome was…

 

Just when it seemed to be subsiding, variants would emerge, making it difficult to respond immediately with the right medicine.

 

‘But now it’s just broken out, and many variants haven’t appeared yet. If it doesn’t spread further from Here, it won’t become a terrible disease.’

 

The Eight Families including Sinion would have spread the disease to various regions starting from This Place, then gathered them to create yet another variant.

 

Thus they thought they had obtained a weapon only they could control, right?

 

‘Would that really be the case.’

 

I recalled families that had been wiped out in the past, unable to avoid epidemics. Surprisingly, there were such places even among the Eight Families.

 

‘Perhaps they reached a state where they couldn’t handle what they had created themselves.’

 

Back then, I wondered why people who cared so terribly about their own health disappeared overnight.

 

Now I understand.

 

If they mishandled it and the disease spread to their Family Estate…

 

‘They reaped what they sowed. Stupid and vicious bastards.’

 

One thought led to another.

 

While events and clues from previous times fitted together like puzzle pieces, the medicine was steadily seeping into the Child’s body.

 

Glancing to the side, I saw the Lord of Rikel staring blankly at his Son.

 

‘The Child’s expression has become peaceful.’

 

Since his Son didn’t look sick anymore, he must have calmed down. Dad was no longer restraining the Lord either.

 

Though he seemed ready to step in anytime if the Lord tried to interfere with me.

 

I smiled slightly.

 

‘In the past, there were times when I had to be prepared to lose my life while making a Diagnosis…’

 

I had many enemies.

 

Ordinary Physicians inevitably became defenseless because they had to pour all their concentration into diagnosing Patients. That’s why they absolutely needed Warriors to watch their backs.

 

However, since I didn’t have such protection, I learned to observe my surroundings and prepare for potential dangers even while diagnosing Patients.

 

Some people clicked their tongues calling it genius, but it was an effort for survival.

 

‘Why don’t you have any Warriors? Am I just decoration?’

 

‘You’re not a Warrior, you’d be a Patient.’

 

‘No matter who you bring, I’ll be the strongest. So, ah, just keep me by your side from now on!’

 

Do long thoughts reach unnecessary places? When Friend’s fierce voice came to mind, I cut off my thoughts.

 

The injection of medicine into the Child had just finished as well.

 

The Lord’s Youngest Son slowly opened his eyes.

 

“Huh? Water?”

 

The child didn’t seem surprised at all by her appearance trapped in water, but rather looked fascinated.

 

It was an innocent expression.

 

“Dad!”

 

“Semi!! Oh, my baby! Semi, are you okay?”

 

The Lord rushed over and pounded on the water wall surrounding his son. I would have let him out even without such desperate behavior…

 

I scratched my cheek.

 

“Yeah! Dad, I don’t hurt anymore. Amazing! Did you do this? Did you bring a Physician?!”

 

The Lord of Rikel seemed to be at a loss for words and couldn’t say anything.

 

At that moment, the Water Barrier that had been surrounding Semi for diagnosis disappeared completely. The Lord hurriedly embraced the child.

 

The Lord was frantically busy examining the child. I understand that fuss since his late-born son had been critically ill and hovering between life and death.

 

“Dad, I can breathe easily!”

 

The body that had been red with high fever and trembling with chills was nowhere to be found.

 

Eyes and complexion that had regained vitality. Even a fresh smile and innocent laughter that hadn’t been there before.

 

Finally seeming to accept that his son had truly recovered, the Lord stared at me while holding his son.

 

With disbelieving eyes.

 

“Why did you save him?”

 

I understand this too. Suspicion is like wet paper – it’s very easy for it to stick to your skin, but quite troublesome to peel off.

 

‘What else would be the reason living weakly is easier than living honestly.’

 

Still, I’ve lived quite troublesomely. What’s all this about righteousness and goodness.

 

“Surely the Hei Family and Eastern People are killing us for experiments…”

 

“Why? Because we didn’t do it, so I saved him.”

 

Can’t you tell by looking, mister? I said while rubbing my eyes.

 

Having had many things to worry about these past few days, I was keenly feeling the lack of stamina.

 

It seemed partly due to the uncomfortable clothes too.

 

“What? But…”

 

“Do you have evidence?”

 

What the Lord would say was obvious. I heard it. They definitely said so, he would say something like that.

 

Hei Jihye and Sinion might have presented something plausible and shown it as evidence.

 

Well-made fake evidence, that is.

 

“If you have it, bring it here. I’ll refute whatever it is.”

 

I looked toward Dad and gave him a look. Dad took out a large badge from his chest.

 

The badge floated gently in the wind and flew before the Lord’s eyes.

 

“You should naturally know what this is, as a Lord. Right?”

 

“A, a Physician’s Identification…”

 

“Correct!”

 

There was a reason I didn’t pull out this badge from the start. I thought this moment was the most opportune time.

 

“As written on the badge, I’m an Advanced Physician. Moreover, direct line. Hei Biyu. There aren’t many people with as much authority to speak as me, right?”

 

“…”

 

“I guarantee it. My will is the Family Head’s will.”

 

Sorry Grandmother. Let’s say that’s the case?

 

You wouldn’t have just stood by and watched someone slander the Hei Family from this far away either.

 

We should completely uproot them and crush them, right?

 

“…That talk about being an envoy from the Buke Family earlier.”

 

“That’s not a lie either. I really am close with the heir. Should I contact them directly for you?”

 

“…”

 

Perhaps sensing something in my confidence, the Lord closed his mouth.

 

According to former butler Bans, this man maintained his reason until the very end even when his retainers had long believed the slander and were going mad.

 

After his son fell ill, he too came to blindly believe the prejudice. But that was understandable.

 

Not being particularly stupid, the Lord’s face hardened beyond stiffness and turned pale.

 

“…I’m sorry, no, I apologize. Physician. I should have thanked you first.”

 

The Lord set his son down on the floor and slowly knelt on one knee. It was an extremely respectful posture.

 

“…Thank you so much for saving my son. To suspect you without knowing properly… and contribute to persecution, truly… I have nothing but apologies to offer.”

 

The older one becomes, the more one has to protect, the harder it becomes to apologize for one’s mistakes. Especially for nobles.

 

Like the Lord I met in Cheimik, all the Lords I’ve met in this life have been decent people.

 

‘Moreover, he must have fully realized that Sinion is behind me, yet he’s apologizing honestly without making excuses?’

 

Perhaps he’s finished calculating which side would be more beneficial to support.

 

“May I shamelessly ask just one favor as a Lord? No, I’d like to make a request…”

 

“…”

 

“Please save the people of my territory.”

 

The Lord raised his head. The father’s face, whose son had been completely cured, was filled with joy, regret, and blind faith.

 

I already knew.

 

If hatred and loathing as enormous as theirs disappeared. Exactly that much… gratitude and regret would take their place.

 

‘Oh, now he probably won’t refuse any request.’

 

As expected, it’s best to start by taking down the leader.

 

I curved the corners of my eyes.

 

“And then?”

 

The Lord pondered my cryptic words for a moment, then let out an exclamation of “Ah!”

 

“Immediately, I’ll correct the rumors, no, deliberately spread them. About the miracle of the Oriental People, no, the Hei Family that will soon… come to pass.”

 

I like how refreshingly decisive this Lord uncle’s actions are.

 

“Where should we go to see the next patient?”

 

Very briefly, I wanted to leave a word for my lonely self from the third life.

 

Because you worked so hard, treating epidemics diligently despite it being work no one acknowledged.

 

Because despite all that persecution, you maintained your role as a good and righteous physician.

 

I’m doing well now like this.

 

‘Well, my third life self probably would have hit me if they heard that.’

 

But still, I wish someone would say it.

 

That you weren’t wrong.

 

I closed my eyes.

 

“I’d like you to guide me right away.”

 

Right, I should save people first.

In small cities like this, the Lord’s power is often strong.

 

Especially since the Lord here governed his territory quite well, he had the trust of the territory residents. It was also possible to gather patients in a short time.

 

“Come now, orderly! Form a line!”

 

“Sir Knight, our child, please look at our child…! It’s so serious that they might collapse any moment!”

 

“Our father too, please…!!”

 

“The physician that our Lord brought with great difficulty has agreed to see everyone one by one, so don’t worry!”

 

I glanced at the long line of people, then looked at the patient sitting down.

 

‘Ah, it would have been nice if Raon was by my side…’

 

If I could bring out my peak abilities like I did in Cheimik, making medicine would be a piece of cake.

 

But by now, Raon would be quite busy.

 

And for good reason.

 

‘He’s probably in the middle of a game of tag?’

 

Disguised as Ayan, he would be busy playing the role of bait together with Uncle.

 

I started humming as I began treatment.

 

“Now then, please tell me your symptoms.”

 

“Ah, I…”

 

Looking at the patient who hesitated but began to speak, I smiled even more kindly.

 

And inwardly, I was timing things.

 

‘With all this commotion, there’s no way Sinion will stay still.’

 

Come now, it’s about time to poke your head out like a mole, isn’t it?
