The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

 

Chapter 133

 

* * *

 

“There, all done!”

 

The person who had just emerged from the water touched their body in bewilderment. They seemed amazed that their fever had gone down and their cough had disappeared.

 

“I’m… really cured…”

 

Soon the woman began to sob. She seemed overwhelmed with emotion. I understand.

 

When this disease reaches severe stages, it often causes excessive throat swelling or heavy pain and difficulty breathing.

 

‘Fortunately, there are fewer people here than in Cheimik…’

 

Unlike in Cheimik where almost everyone suffered from the epidemic, this city still had a mix of mild and severe cases.

 

So while it was challenging, it was manageable even without Raon.

 

‘I’m a bit tired though…’

 

I glanced at Dad standing like a rock beside me.

 

It would be better not to show it.

 

I pretended not to notice and turned my eyes toward the next patient being carried in by family.

 

“By any chance… are you an Oriental Person?”

 

A middle-aged man asked cautiously. He was the man who had just carried his younger brother on his back.

 

When our eyes met, he flinched. Though it seemed he was more startled by Dad than by me.

 

“No, that’s not it, I just thought that using water like that was something only Oriental People…”

 

“Yes, that’s right.”

 

I smiled brightly.

 

“You know the Hei Family Estate, right? I’m a physician from there.”

 

“Ah…”

 

The man blinked, not knowing what to do. He looked confused.

 

It must be because of the rumors spread by Hei Jihye and the Sinion Family.

 

“I know about the rumors too.”

 

“Th-that’s…”

 

“The Family Head knew about it and sent me here. Such misunderstandings are sad, aren’t they?”

 

“…”

 

“We didn’t do anything wrong.”

 

The man’s face reddened as he looked back and forth between his now-healthy brother and the medicine placed on the table.

 

His face was a jumbled mix of shame, regret, and gratitude.

 

The man bit his lip tightly.

 

“…I’m sorry. Really.”

 

I didn’t ask what he was sorry for. What fault could these people possibly have?

 

“It’s okay. Instead, please help us clear up the misunderstanding.”

 

It’s really easy to build misunderstandings, but solving them is twice as difficult. The world is inherently unreasonable, after all.

 

At least thanks to my treatment, resolving the misunderstandings in this place seemed like it would be easy.

 

When I told him to leave since the treatment was finished, the man didn’t go and hesitated.

 

“Um, but right now there are physicians outside who said they would help us prevent the disease… They said they were from the Hei Family too…”

 

“They’re imposters.”

 

Right, I was wondering why this topic hadn’t come up.

 

“Who knows who’s doing the impersonating, right?”

 

I smiled inwardly.

 

“We are envoys of the Hei Family guaranteed by Lord Nanum, and we’re skilled physicians. The Family Head didn’t send anyone else besides us.”

 

“…”

 

“That’s right. And usually, don’t people who try to create misunderstandings have bad ulterior motives?”

 

I turned my head to Dad with an innocent expression, pretending not to know.

 

“Right, Dad?”

 

He looked slightly surprised at being suddenly drawn into the conversation, but Dad nodded obediently.

 

“That’s right. Usually when there are two people making opposing claims about one truth, and one side is definitely fake…”

 

“…”

 

“Wouldn’t there be a purpose behind the fake’s claims?”

 

Wow, who said he was just a warrior? My father speaks so well.

 

Various expressions crossed the face of the man listening to the conversation. The last one that appeared was anger. I saw it clearly.

 

I bowed politely and watched the departing man’s back with satisfaction.

 

“Those who rise by rumors must fall by rumors.”

 

* * *

 

Hei Bihu stared intently at Biyu’s face. More accurately, it would be right to say he couldn’t take his eyes off her.

 

“Now let’s have the next patient come in.”

 

The child who grumbled that those who rose by rumors should fall spectacularly had a relieved expression on one hand.

 

He had been observing Hei Biyu from the moment he opened his eyes. And he always felt something strange.

 

For instance, acting like just before, as if she had personally experienced terrible things due to rumors.

 

‘There will be much to investigate when I return.’

 

However, the reason Hei Bihu couldn’t take his eyes off the child’s face wasn’t just because of this.

 

“Warriors?”

 

The way she stubbornly called him Warriors. It was fine. It was much better than calling him ‘Uncle’ like a stranger.

 

Before he knew it, sweat had formed on the tip of the child’s chin.

 

Did this child know what she looked like right now?

 

She looked a bit tired. With her exhausted body, she was forcibly suppressing and enduring fatigue.

 

While doing so, she was also thoroughly hiding her difficult state in case he might notice.

 

Acting as naturally as possible in case he might catch on.

 

‘I must treat all these patients. That’s my duty.’

 

The Family Head didn’t order anything like that. Far from it, she’s someone who doesn’t even know about this situation.

 

So that must be your conviction.

 

You acted so naturally that ordinary people would have passed by without noticing. If they hadn’t been watching so carefully.

 

“Mmm?”

 

Hei Bihu gently stroked the child’s head. Had he touched her like this before losing his memory too?

 

The child looked at Hei Bihu strangely but didn’t pay much attention to it. However, Hei Bihu’s eyes could see it.

 

Her cheeks and ears flushed pink with what seemed like pleasure. It was something he had discovered through observation.

 

“It’s a little hot here, isn’t it?”

 

“…Yeah.”

 

Do you really think I’m so uninterested in my child that I wouldn’t notice even that much?

 

“…Bring in the next patient as you wish.”

 

If necessary, I’m even thinking of making her faint so she can rest. People call this affection too, don’t they?

 

“By the way, what are you planning to do about the other side?”

 

Biyu blinked her large eyes. It wasn’t because she didn’t understand what Hei Bihu meant.

 

The other side.

 

There were two other sides that Biyu was thinking of.

 

One side was the force that had impersonated the Hei Family’s physicians, probably definitely Sinion’s lackeys.

 

And the other side was…

 

“You mean Hei Jihye.”

 

It was Hei Jihye.

 

Biyu smiled prettily with her cheeks flushed with happiness.

 

“That side has a Special Task Force, doesn’t it?”

 

Use a butcher’s knife for butchering cattle.

 

Let those who created grudges face those who seek revenge.

 

* * *

 

“Damn it!”

 

Rikel was not a very large city. That meant when a commotion broke out in the city center, it wouldn’t take long before it spread throughout the entire neighborhood.

 

Hei Jihye had also heard the news that a ‘real’ physician from the Hei Family had set up a temporary clinic in front of the Lord’s Castle.

 

However, she couldn’t rush there immediately.

 

It was because of the missing Hei Ayan.

 

Her young niece was her most powerful weapon, insurance, and last bastion.

 

As long as she had that child, she could manipulate the powerful card called Hei Birang in the palm of her hand.

 

Hei Birang was a warrior that even the ruthless Family Head couldn’t bear to abandon. If necessary, he would be useful when switching back to the Hei Family!

 

But without Hei Ayan, she couldn’t do anything.

 

Although the massive family called Sinion had approached and provided conveniences, Hei Jihye knew her place due to her low self-esteem.

 

They were allies for now, but Sinion would abandon her anytime if necessary. They might even kill her to eliminate evidence.

 

“Why can’t you find one little kid!”

 

The warriors following Hei Jihye looked at each other and only watched her mood.

 

In fact, Hei Jihye had planned to send some of her Warriors to the clinic set up in front of the Lord’s Castle to cause a disturbance.

 

But after the Warriors she sent there returned and reported that the Lord’s Knights were guarding the clinic entrance like an iron wall, she cleanly gave up on that plan.

 

The operation with Sinion had clearly already failed. She needed to quickly find her last resort and leave this place before the sparks flew to her.

 

Hei Jihye had a premonition at the same time.

 

‘Hei Birang…’

 

The child might have already fallen into Hei Birang’s hands.

 

“How is the tracking going?”

 

The one thing that gave her hope.

 

Was that the Elite Warriors among her Warriors were chasing Hei Ayan and the man who helped that child escape.

 

Based on the characteristics her Warriors had described, it definitely wasn’t Hei Birang.

 

‘He might not have come in person.’

 

Then there was a chance of winning!

 

“Well, that is… We are pursuing them, but there’s been no news so far.”

 

“Send reinforcements in that direction!”

 

“Then the number of Bodyguards here will become even fewer. Will that be alright?”

 

Hei Jihye pondered but soon nodded her head. Though she was anxious, securing Hei Ayan came first.

 

“Go and come back.”

 

Soon another group of Warriors left, and only a few people remained by her side.

 

Hei Jihye sent everyone outside except for two people.

 

She sat on the sofa, tilted her head back, and let out a sigh.

 

‘Once I secure Ayan, I’ll leave This City immediately.’

 

Since the Lord seemed to have learned the truth, staying here would only be disadvantageous to her.

 

Sinion alone was enough to fall. Anyway, with her appearance and being a Mage, she could make a living wherever she went.

 

Hei Jihye’s lips curved upward.

 

‘Once I secure Ayan… I should extort some Money first.’

 

The Money Hei Birang gave her initially was still left, but the more the better, right?

 

Moreover, if by any chance she ultimately failed to secure Hei Ayan, she could just leave immediately. If she was alone, escaping far away wouldn’t be difficult.

 

It would be regrettable, but she’d just take Hei Birang’s Money with her.

 

Either way, she could at least secure her own safety. It was when Hei Jihye, finally relieved, let out a snicker.

 

“…Hmm?”

 

…The Surroundings were too quiet.

 

Though the Warriors weren’t the chatty type so it was natural, shouldn’t she at least be able to hear breathing sounds?

 

Sensing something strange, Hei Jihye bolted upright.

 

And.

 

Thud.

 

An ominous sound.

 

Moreover, the Warriors who had been standing perfectly fine just moments ago… were collapsed on the Floor.

 

“There are fewer Bodyguards than I expected. Sister.”

 

A familiar voice came from above her head. And it was a voice she thought she’d never hear again.

 

Cold sweat ran down Hei Jihye’s back. She didn’t want to look up.

 

“With that personality of yours… you sure did send your bodyguards outside easily. Ah, was securing my daughter more important?”

 

However, as if someone had forcibly pulled it up, her gaze slowly rose upward.

 

Despite it being daytime, the room was dark, with long shadows cast down. There stood a picture-perfect man dressed in black clothes.

 

“It’s been a while. Sister. We had something to settle, didn’t we?”

 

As he pulled down his mask, a graceful face was revealed.

 

Hei Birang’s eyes gleamed.

 

“Damn, I kept thinking about it even in my dreams, my fingers were itching for this. Hei Jihye.”
