The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

 

Chapter 138

 

* * *

 

“Mmph, mmph! Mmph…!!”

 

What this sound is, you ask? It’s the sound Hei Jihye makes after regaining consciousness. However, no one pays any attention to her.

 

‘It’s a bit awkward to keep her here, but… I can’t exactly put her where only the babies are.’

 

If not here, the only other place would be where Ayan and Brother Gyewon are.

 

Anyway, with her eyes covered and ears blocked, she can’t sense anything. That’s probably why she’s struggling so much.

 

‘I’ve already decided how that person will pay for her crimes, so let’s move on for now.’

 

I locked the retainers in other barracks. Of course, I gagged them so they couldn’t conspire with each other.

 

“Now we just need to catch the remaining Sinion spies and treat all the patients, then we can go home!”

 

How’s that? Pretty good, right?

 

I clapped my hands and smiled brightly.

 

But Dad and Uncle’s expressions as they looked at me were rather grim.

 

“You talk about it like it’s easy?”

 

“Yeah. Isn’t it?”

 

Of course it is, since I’m thinking of methods before I speak.

 

“Just what are you…”

 

“Wow, I’m so curious about what kind of plan Uncle has. Tell me!”

 

Dad said this while pushing Uncle’s complaining face to the side.

 

“I’m starting to want to go home now. The water here really doesn’t agree with Uncle. It’s not good for my skin~”

 

“You’re being ridiculous. How long have we even been here… Ah! Stop pushing!”

 

“The youngest also wants to hurry back with his cute niece, right? I know, I know.”

 

I waited for the two bickering people to calm down before opening my mouth.

 

Actually, I roughly came up with a method to catch Sinion’s spies when I learned they were involved.

 

‘And I’ve also decided who will play the main role here.’

 

Who would be the most annoying to those bastards? It would be me, of course.

 

‘Well, I’m quite the attractive bait in any lifetime.’

 

I lifted my head up.

 

“Listen up. If we do it like this… I think we can catch those Sinion bastards.”

 

I explained with sparkling eyes.

 

The good thing about this life is that all the men with me are quick-witted.

 

By the time the operation ended, I proudly shared my plan, not knowing I would come to regret what I thought was an advantage.

 

* * *

 

Jeok Yunha’s subordinate, ‘Nora’, was currently on standby near Hei Biyu.

 

Kay and the other colleagues were assigned the task of guarding Hei Ayan and Hei Gyewon.

 

She had decided to stay by Hei Biyu’s side as a liaison and in case of emergency.

 

Nora wiped her face. She was currently drenched in cold sweat. Moreover, for some unknown reason, her expression was stiff with tension.

 

‘You’ve had a hard time coming here all this while. Don’t worry. This will be over soon!’

 

Those were the words Hei Biyu had come to her and said just a moment ago.

 

The commotion from the retainers coming and going was brief, as Hei Biyu had settled their schemes in one swift stroke.

 

Though it appeared that her father Hei Bihu had stepped forward, from Nora’s position, she could clearly see the child and Hei Bihu having a conversation.

 

She couldn’t hear the conversation due to the wind, but hadn’t the situation been resolved all at once after that?

 

‘Not like a child at all…’

 

This was the only way she could express it.

 

Moreover, what about the retainers who were immediately dealt with after the water wall shot up?

 

The three men surrounding Hei Biyu. Each one was no ordinary mage. And the martial power they possessed on top of that…

 

‘Wait just a little longer. I just need to catch one more person!’

 

Hei Biyu had said this and returned to her original position.

 

And treatment resumed.

 

The woman who had wiped her face lifted her head.

 

‘She’s handling things methodically.’

 

The incident of confining the retainers seemed likely to end with them being punished, judging by the lord’s flustered appearance when he came running earlier.

 

“Oh, Physician!”

 

“That person is the Physician…?”

 

Before she knew it, Hei Biyu had emerged from the barracks.

 

Next to the child was another child, wearing a robe with the hood pulled down low so their face couldn’t be seen, making it only possible to tell they were of similar age.

 

“Everyone, I think I’ve finished treating the most urgent patients, so now I’m going to solve everything at once!”

 

Hei Biyu’s voice resonated loudly. It was wind power.

 

Of course, the remaining patients were bewildered by the child’s response.

 

“But there are still so many left…?”

 

However, Hei Biyu didn’t continue with explanations. As if knowing their doubts, she smiled and swept her hand through the air.

 

At that moment, a massive water stream shot up into the air. No, it would be more accurate to call it a water pillar…!

 

What unfolded next was a wondrous scene.

 

Nora’s mouth fell open.

 

‘The water stream…’

 

The water stream wrapped around the unhealed patients and poured medicine into their bodies.

 

To the eyes of those who didn’t know better, it appeared as if the water stream was dyed a mystical green color each time it enveloped a patient.

 

The patients who had been coughing and terrified found their faces brightening when they realized their symptoms had completely eased or disappeared after the water stream set them down.

 

“It doesn’t hurt anymore!”

 

“…My goodness. You really are a miraculous physician!”

 

“Th-there’s no reason for someone like that to spread disease.”

 

“That’s right. Physician, thank you!”

 

“Thank you!!”

 

As the number of patients who were completely cured or had their conditions alleviated increased, the voices praising Hei Biyu only grew louder.

 

By the time all treatments were finally finished, only cheers of celebration remained.

 

The child blinked her eyes wide, then smiled brightly. It was such a childlike, joyful expression that it naturally made anyone who saw it feel pleased.

 

Nora swallowed hard as she witnessed what could only be called a miraculous scene.

 

Cold sweat trickled down the back of her neck. Along with anxiety, her tension increased even more.

 

Nora approached Hei Biyu.

 

“Lady Biyu.”

 

The closer she got, the more she could feel the wariness of the three men around Biyu, especially Hei Bihu who was closest to her.

 

But she smiled warmly, pretending nothing was wrong.

 

“Congratulations. You’ve truly… accomplished something amazing.”

 

The child’s eyes sparkled, then she smiled.

 

“Thank you. Though I don’t think it’s something to be congratulated for.”

 

“Pardon?”

 

The child scratched her neck, looking a bit embarrassed.

 

“I’m a physician, and there were patients here, so I just treated them.”

 

The statement that she treated them because there were patients seemed foreign to Nora.

 

That was probably because there were far more physicians in this world who moved according to profit than those who provided free treatment.

 

Even her own lord right now…

 

Nora maintained her smile. A gentle, smiling expression. It didn’t look awkward, did it?

 

“I think it’s amazing. Both your heart and your attitude. Not everyone can show such things, nor can they easily show them.”

 

At Nora’s words, the child smiled once more. Her expression was so clear that it was hard to believe she was a physician who had just performed miracles.

 

“I’m happy to hear such words.”

 

Nora hesitated, then hesitantly pulled something from her bosom. Curiosity flickered in the child’s eyes.

 

“This is…?”

 

“You look tired. This is a pill that Lady Jeok Yunha provided to us. It’s an expensive item that’s good for recovering from fatigue. I understand it’s easily digestible, so it’s safe for children to take.”

 

“Oh, I know what this is too.”

 

The child’s eyes sparkled with curiosity.

 

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen one.”

 

She also muttered something seemingly out of nowhere.

 

‘It’s been a while…?’

 

Nora swallowed her question internally.

 

“But shouldn’t Nora be the one taking this? You look tired.”

 

“Oh no, I have another one when I return. And… thanks to you, I’ll be returning early, so I’d really like to give this as a token of gratitude. I’d also like to make a good impression on such an amazing physician.”

 

“Ah.”

 

At the playful joke, Biyu casually accepted the pill.

 

“Thank you, I’ll take it well! Oh, water…”

 

“Here.”

 

Hei Birang, who was nearby, held out a water cup. Hei Biyu swallowed the pill along with the water.

 

Nora didn’t take her eyes off until the pill went down Hei Biyu’s throat with a gulp.

 

‘She took it…’

 

Finally. She took it!

 

Then the child who was swallowing water looked at Nora and opened her eyes slightly wide.

 

“Nora?”

 

“Yes?”

 

Biyu’s head tilted.

 

“Why… are you smiling like that?”

 

Well. Because I’m happy right now?

 

Nora, no, ‘she’ didn’t need to answer anymore. Even before answering.

 

“Cough!”

 

“…!!”

 

“Hey! Hei Biyu!”

 

“Hei Biyu!”

 

Because the child coughed violently and vomited blood.
