The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius
Chapter 141
“…You really don’t understand.”
“No… So what?”
“First, I can’t give you clean water.”
“What?!”
But I’m sick! My body feels heavy, my head is throbbing, and my throat is stinging?!
‘How can he say something so scary!’
This bad Father. He must have had some grudge against me, right? Is he finally showing his true colors now! I grumbled inwardly and puffed out my cheeks.
“What are you scheming? I’m sick.”
“Yes, you must be sick. After pushing yourself so hard. And to keep it from me, you hid your trembling hands several times, didn’t you.”
…How did he know?
No, since when did he know?
I felt caught but tried to act nonchalant as I blinked my eyes. Here, showing weakness means losing.
“What you did was like…”
Dad gave a look. Uncle stepped forward.
“Right, you have to see it to understand?”
Uncle began untying the clothing ties of his upper garment. I was watching wondering what he was doing when my eyes widened.
“U, Uncle Poo? Your body… Why is it like that?!”
Surprisingly, Hei Birang’s exposed chest and stomach were wrapped round and round with bandages.
Was that all?
Whether it was hastily treated temporarily, blood was dripping from the bandages that were soaked red. Serious injuries at first glance…!
‘That’s just simple first aid, no, the hemostasis wasn’t even done properly!’
Blood dripped to the floor.
“What are you doing!!”
I turned pale and tried to get up immediately but collapsed. Ugh, my body.
‘This crazy person! Right now… is he showing off his wounds in front of a Physician? Is he insane?!’
I forgot about my heavy body and pushed away Dad’s hand. But this was brief as Dad caught my staggering body again.
Without realizing it, I stared at Dad. Dad still had a pained expression.
Just like the expression I made while looking at Uncle… I suppressed the strange feeling.
I quickly looked at Uncle again.
“Hey, can you see? Does it look painful?”
“You call that talking? How did that happen? Was there a fight? Do some hemostasis, you stupid Uncle Poo!”
“Right. You’re particularly good at empathizing with others’ pain. Even with villagers you’ve never seen before.”
“…”
Uncle approached while dripping blood. Then he crouched down in front of me.
Uncle’s handsome face crumpled with distress. As if in pain.
“But why don’t you care about your own body.”
Uncle spoke with serious eyes.
Normally, Uncle would have stopped such behavior, but he was calmly watching.
“It’s upsetting.”
“….”
“Your father, he cried.”
“…Huh?”
“Why are you bringing that up?”
At those unexpected words, I looked at Dad in bewilderment. Dad avoided my gaze. I searched Dad’s face for the truth. Are his eyes red? But I was too exhausted to tell clearly.
“That’s nonsense….”
However, Dad never said it wasn’t true.
‘I thought they might get angry… or scold me.’
My plan fell apart when I collapsed from overwork at the end. I had planned to act shamelessly, saying I was fine even after eating poison.
I understood that they would have been shocked.
I would have reacted the same way if a companion had collapsed shortly after eating poison.
I became even more unsure of what to say. Even in this situation, I couldn’t take my eyes off Uncle’s wound because I was worried about it.
This is quite a serious injury….
Not knowing what to do, I raised both hands as if to calm them down.
“I understand. Let’s treat it. Why do something that would make Ayan sad if she saw….”
Uncle, who had been staring at me intently, soon gave a bitter smile.
“Right, you do look like you’re about to cry too.”
Uncle’s hand tapped my forehead.
“Look at yourself. Is this what a person should look like?”
“Youngest. Control your strength appropriately.”
At Uncle’s scolding, Uncle muttered quietly, “Ah, I said I did.”
This was brief, as Uncle reached his hand toward me. And before I could even grab that hand.
Whoosh.
Water droplets shot up in the air, and Uncle’s bandages, wounds, and blood disappeared in an instant.
All I could see was smooth skin. The wounds and bandages were nowhere to be found. Even the blood that had fallen on the floor.
Wait a minute. Looking back and forth between the clean floor and body, I soon realized.
…It was an illusion?
While I couldn’t say anything, Uncle stared at me.
“How do you feel? Not being able to do anything while blood drips down.”
“….”
“That’s how I, Brother, and your father felt.”
In the moment I was at a loss for words, Uncle smiled that familiar smile.
As if relieved yet also pitying. While stroking my head.
“Don’t make us cry so much.”
Us, us.
These were words I had often said myself.
But they were also words that tugged at my heart more than ever before.
* * *
What happened next proceeded swiftly.
The talk about Dad, Uncle, and Uncle stepping in while I was unconscious wasn’t just empty words.
“Have you awakened, Physician! Thank you so much…!”
I had a conversation with the Lord who came to see me, and learned that Dad and Uncle had taken appropriate measures.
And that wasn’t all.
‘They also revealed that the physicians who had been spreading malicious rumors about Oriental People were all from Sinion’s side.’
Hei Jihye and Sinion’s remaining forces were all captured and imprisoned, with Jeok Yunha’s subordinates and Uncle standing guard in front of them.
I was worried that Sinion Knights or Assassins might come to rescue them, but.
“That’s already being handled thoroughly.”
Dad told me not to worry.
“As you instructed, we’ve also contacted the Hei Family Estate, Physician!”
And the Lord, at Dad’s request—just as I had asked in advance—also contacted the Family Head of the Hei Family Estate.
Grandmother had replied that she would dispatch Warriors to this place to take the criminals.
To think all of this happened in just one day.
And I…
Was forbidden from using Self-Healing. I absolutely had to recover by taking Medicine. Having already caused quite a commotion, I obediently agreed.
‘Though with my weak constitution, Medicine probably won’t help me recover well…’
But after seeing Uncle’s show, the thought of secretly trying to heal myself disappeared.
‘Next time, should I slice off our Niece’s Father’s arm with a swoosh~’
‘Our Ppiyak doesn’t need Dad, right?’
It definitely wasn’t because Uncle said such things with a cheerful smile…
Three days passed quickly like that.
“Cough…”
Though I was returning Home without being completely recovered, my body was still much better than at first.
Actually, this kind of natural recovery was better for a growing Child.
“Are you cold?”
However, whenever I was about to cough, warm and moist Wind Power would wrap around my body.
And as if that wasn’t enough, there was Uncle who would easily lift my body and skillfully wrap me in blankets.
“Drink Water, drink. Hey, you’re not thinking of using this for Treatment, are you? I’ll scold you.”
There was also Uncle who took care of my thirst, even temporarily leaving his Daughter with Brother Gyewon.
‘My stomach still feels full. Is it thanks to Brother Gyewon’s cooking?’
The feeling of receiving such devoted Nursing…
Honestly, it wasn’t bad at all—no, it was actually good. So much so that my desire to heal myself gradually disappeared.
‘What? What help. The child should go rest!’
‘You heard? They said to rest.’
‘Hey Second Brother over there, why don’t you push the carriage with some wind?’
‘Biyu, here’s some warm medicinal tea. I cooled it down just right.’
‘Should Uncle put you to sleep?’
It felt like I had truly become a ‘child’ who needed to be protected.
And so a little more time passed.
We returned to the Hei Family Estate.
Together with the captured criminals, including ‘Hei Jihye’ and those Sinion bastards.
“You have arrived.”
When we reached the Main Hall, a magnificent welcome greeted us.
From attendants to warriors, the welcoming crowd was surprisingly large.
The Chief Administrator bowed toward us more respectfully than I remembered.
“The Family Head is waiting for you, Lady Hei Biyu.”
