The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius
Chapter 142
I watched the criminal Hei Jihye and Sinion’s subordinates being dragged down from the transport carriage in the back.
Tightly bound with binding rope and gagged. If you looked closely, you could see static electricity-like lightning crackling around them.
This was Uncle’s ability to prevent them from committing suicide.
Apparently Sinion’s subordinates kept trying to kill themselves, which was troublesome.
‘Keeping people alive like this is Uncle’s specialty!’
The subordinates of the Eight Families have loyalty as high as their lofty pride. It wasn’t strange that they would try to commit suicide.
In fact, one of the captured people had successfully committed suicide during transport.
This happened after full authority was handed over to the unit Grandmother sent. That’s also why Uncle had to use his ability so thoroughly.
‘But what’s more surprising is…’
I thought of the Hei Family Estate warriors who had come to Rikel Territory.
It was true that I had explained the situation to Grandmother and requested warriors to escort the criminals.
But surprisingly, the ones Grandmother sent were the Family Head’s direct unit.
I was so shocked since I hadn’t expected these people to appear.
“Will you go immediately?”
I turned my gaze toward where the voice came from. Held in Dad’s arms, I looked down at the Chief Administrator’s head.
“I heard the criminals tried to commit suicide. You’ll need to watch them carefully.”
The Chief Administrator hesitated, then answered while keeping his head bowed.
“I will keep that in mind. And we have plenty of… Physicians who can keep them alive as long as they don’t die.”
Well, I wonder about that.
I think the second round starts from the moment Sinion’s subordinates and Hei Jihye arrive at the Hei Family Estate.
Instead of revealing my thoughts, I nodded my head.
“Good. I’ll go to the Family Head right away.”
Then Dad, who was holding me, flinched.
“You’ll go right away?”
It wasn’t just Dad.
“Haha, wouldn’t it be better for our niece to rest well and sleep soundly before going~”
“Right. Look with a clear mind. Even then, isn’t she a disgusting old hag?”
Dad and Uncle aside.
What’s with Uncle’s boldness in badmouthing the Family Head in front of the Chief Administrator? Is this why Uncle is the Female Lead’s dad?
“Da! Dada!”
Moreover, when did he bring her, but Ayan was being held in Uncle’s arms.
“Sissy! Sissy! Fast!”
“Ayan? Your Elder Sister is busy right now… Ack! Dad, let go of my hair and let’s talk? Huh? Ack!”
And then she got her hair grabbed by her daughter. Did she do that in the original work too? I tilted my head and then turned my gaze away.
Then I met the gazes that were staring intently at only me.
I smiled and shook my head.
“No, I think it would be better to report immediately. The reason is….”
I didn’t say anything more, but they would have immediately understood what I was trying to say.
‘Listen well, the key is after we arrive at the Hei Family Estate. Got it?’
‘Since we talked enough in the carriage.’
They’re smart people with quick wits, so they’ll handle it well. In the meantime, I’ll have a private meeting with the Family Head.
“Let’s go.”
Dad naturally held me and followed behind the Chief Administrator. I also realized that I had spoken naturally thinking I would go with Dad.
‘…I should have a talk with Dad too, shouldn’t I?’
In Rikel, there was no opportunity because of all the explosive incidents happening…
We still have things to discuss.
‘The “Bi ” in your name seems to have been chosen with the hope that you would resemble the wind.’
‘….’
‘To be free like the wind. Unlike Narang.’
Dad recalled another memory.
Then how much memory does he have now, and what else might he have remembered?
I’ve been consciously avoiding asking. But I can’t avoid it anymore.
“Let’s talk about us.”
Dad’s gaze, who had been walking following the Chief Administrator, briefly focused on me.
“Let’s do that. Whatever you want.”
“….”
At my suggestion to talk, a sense of determination settled on Dad’s handsome face. He must have sensed what I was going to ask.
“We have arrived.”
We familiarly arrived at the Family Head’s Palace and soon reached the front of the Family Head’s Room. It was a different room from last time.
“This time as well, only Hei Biyu can enter.”
Dad glanced at the door and then answered the Chief Administrator.
“It should be fine for me to put my daughter down on a chair and wait in front of the door, right?”
“Yes….”
Dad carefully set me down on a chair prepared in front of the table.
The Family Head was sitting across from me. Obviously, the Family Head’s face hadn’t changed from when I saw her recently.
Moreover, she just watched as Dad paid his respects and seated me in the chair.
From Dad as he was leaving, I heard a voice that only I could hear.
– I’ll be waiting. Call out anytime.
And only after Dad went outside and I heard the sound of the door completely closing did the Family Head open her mouth.
“Is that guy useful?”
It was an odd remark, not even a greeting.
Instead of being flustered, I tilted my head slightly.
“Dad’s eyes… He’s capable. Always has been.”
“Is that so.”
The Family Head’s attitude toward me was quite different from when we departed for Rikel.
‘Of course, I’ve now treated infectious diseases not once but twice.’
A Family Head blinded by talent and achievements would value me even more highly. Ahem.
There was a reason I came to see the Family Head immediately upon arrival, even though my physical condition hadn’t fully recovered.
“I’ve returned, Family Head.”
“…Yes.”
“And thank you for supporting my unreasonable request with Warriors. Your direct unit, no less… I was truly surprised.”
“Acting cheeky as usual.”
We sat facing each other across the table like last time. The Family Head lifted and drank from a tea cup with steam rising from it.
Perhaps because she manipulates wind, this time too she chose a seat by the window.
A gentle breeze blew, softly swaying the strings of the Family Head’s eye patch.
‘How peaceful.’
Despite being in a private meeting with the Family Head, I had such thoughts without any tension.
It was natural to think this way after moving so busily in Rikel Territory.
However, I knew that this moment was no different from the eye of a storm.
“I acknowledge it.”
The Family Head spoke as she set down her tea cup. Her tone was calm.
“You have achieved remarkable results. Both as a Physician and as a member of the Hei Family. Especially what happened in that small Territory – to borrow your expression from the letter – could have spread throughout the Empire.”
The infectious disease forcibly spread from Sinion, and their creation of rumors and propaganda against Oriental People and the Hei Family.
The former was very dangerous, but the latter was equally perilous.
Even more so in that it could completely destroy the Hei Family or cast an irreversible image upon it.
‘I could understand why the Family was so ruined in the original work before Ayan saved it.’
It wasn’t simply ending false rumors. It was removing the foundation stone of a massive conspiracy.
The Family Head was not unaware of this.
“You have truly accomplished great merit. I believe in clear rewards and punishments.”
The change in the Family Head’s tone and atmosphere toward me must stem from this.
“You are no longer some impudent Little One to me. You’re a genius, and a remarkable person who knows how to use that talent beyond adult level.”
“…”
“Your talent lies not only in being a Physician… but also in handling people. You know this, don’t you?”
The higher one rises as a Physician, the more one must manage other Physicians below. Since they become leaders who treat illnesses together.
“I will properly reward your achievements without disappointment. But separately from this, is there anything you desire?”
