The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

 

Chapter 143

 

Did she think that since I boldly demanded what I wanted last time, I would do the same this time?

 

That’s…

 

‘Correct.’

 

I smiled brightly.

 

A child’s smile had the effect of softening others’ defenses, even if just a little.

 

“That’s right. I do have something I want, Family Head. So much so that… I came to see you immediately upon my return without even resting, following your summons.”

 

If I had asked to postpone our meeting for just a few days due to poor health, the Family Head would have granted me that much consideration.

 

“I have a request.”

 

“What is it?”

 

“Previously… you told me to survive for 5 years and prove my health, didn’t you?”

 

I remember these words clearly.

 

‘I’ll stop diagnosing you. Instead, you prove that you’re not frail. I’ll give you 5 years.’

 

Fortunately, though I’m terminal, I can at least live until adulthood. So keeping this promise would be all too easy.

 

“As promised, I will survive those 5 years in good health. So I hope you will promise me that in addition to the reward for this achievement, you will add something more to it.”

 

“…Hah, still so brazen. I can’t even imagine what you’re going to say.”

 

The Family Head nodded as if telling me to speak.

 

“During the 5 years I survive in good health… please don’t get involved with the Eight Families at all, not even the smallest compromise, let alone any entanglement. Absolutely not.”

 

At my words, the Family Head’s eyebrows twitched.

 

Then she touched her eye covering cloth.

 

“…This is absurd.”

 

An incredulous voice flowed from the Family Head.

 

“Why are you wasting your breath saying something so obvious?”

 

Her tone suggested she was certain I had some ulterior motive for saying this.

 

“Because it’s not obvious.”

 

Just looking at the third life, the Hei Family fell one by one into the hands of incompetent Hei Daeui. But ridiculously, on the surface…

 

There seemed to be no external pressure at all.

 

‘Because it rotted from the inside.’

 

The Eight Families moved beneath the surface. Each made one person from the Hei Family into their puppet and waged proxy wars within our family.

 

The result was that only our family consumed all its resources and manpower until it was destroyed.

 

“When there are rats, they must be caught.”

 

I now know all too well that I am superior to the two aunts in this family.

 

And that I’ve even gained experience through three whole lifetimes.

 

“…How dare you. Are you saying that rats live in the family I govern?”

 

A chilling aura flowed from the Family Head.

 

For a physician, rats were the most dangerous animals to be wary of. Dirty creatures that carried germs and spread disease.

 

And the Family Head easily understood what was being implied right now.

 

“Yes. Wouldn’t there be some dirty traitor?”

 

Whoooosh!

 

The wind actually responded to the Family Head’s fierce blue rage and blew toward me threateningly.

 

“There’s no such thing.”

 

A face that believed there could be no traitor, that there would be no holes in her rule.

 

You don’t know that such arrogance allows for rat holes.

 

“Is that really so?”

 

“Even if there were, let them try to act. Do you think I would just stand by?”

 

Instead of answering, I lifted the tea cup and drank from it.

 

This Family Head has no sense.

 

‘She should have provided a child-sized tea cup. This cup is heavy…’

 

Instead of drinking the moderately cooled tea, I just pretended and barely managed to put the cup down.

 

“Just wait and see.”

 

“What?”

 

Had a little more time passed?

 

Thump thump!

 

Someone urgently knocked on the Family Head’s door. Something that would never happen under normal circumstances.

 

It meant it was that urgent of a matter.

 

When the Family Head gave permission, a warrior wearing a black martial uniform entered and bowed his head deeply.

 

“Please forgive my rudeness, Family Head!”

 

“Enough, speak.”

 

“Well…”

 

What soon appeared on the face of the warrior who had been swallowing nervously was anger.

 

“The subordinates of Sinion that we captured from Rikel… they’re all dead. Not a single person was spared… they’re all dead.”

 

“…”

 

A strange silence flowed through the room.

 

The Family Head, whose bewilderment had been clearly visible despite wearing an eye patch, suddenly became perfectly expressionless.

 

“I said they should be thoroughly monitored one last time before I came to see the Family Head, but they died in the meantime.”

 

This meant that Uncle had properly done what he needed to do.

 

‘I told Uncle not to protect the criminals anymore once we arrived at the Family Estate.’

 

The witnesses who died shortly after arriving at the Family Estate. No, Sinion’s subordinates.

 

“Wow, they died as soon as they were imprisoned. Isn’t that strange?”

 

I laughed calmly.

 

Someone must have been so anxious that they had no choice but to handle it immediately.

 

If they handled it now, they could at least claim there were external factors.

 

‘But it’s too late.’

 

I didn’t come to see the Family Head first for no reason.

 

“This wouldn’t have happened without an inside collaborator.”

 

I clapped my hands as if I had just remembered something.

 

“Ah! If you’re worried about the loss of evidence, don’t worry, Family Head.”

 

I waved my small hand.

 

“I have all the necessary materials and evidence with me.”

 

Even if the witnesses die, I have more than enough. How about it? It’s a gift for you, Grandmother.

 

“It must be frustrating to see these rats running wild like this.”

 

Yes, you were wrong.

 

I was right.

 

But would proper cooperation be possible by scratching at her insides like this? I quickly lowered my eyebrows and made a pitiful expression.

 

“I’m feeling upset about everything too.”

 

The Family Head stared at me intently, then gestured for the warrior to leave.

 

“Family Head, our response is…”

 

“Find the culprit and the cause. Organize it and report back.”

 

“Yes!”

 

The warrior left and the door closed. Only quiet silence flowed through the room.

 

“…Did you anticipate that they would all die?”

 

I pondered for a moment, then slightly nodded my head as if reading the situation.

 

“I thought it might happen. Though I didn’t expect them to die right after we arrived.”

 

They must have judged that the truth held by Sinion’s living subordinates was dangerous to their own safety.

 

Who could it be? Someone who is a member of a family that can influence the prison and is also connected to Sinion.

 

“As I mentioned, when there are rats, they must be caught. However, this method…”

 

I stared at the window for a moment.

 

From the moment I died in the third life until the time I spent awake in the fourth life, I thought for a long time. If I were given another life, how would I deal with these Eight Families?

 

“Like when I dealt with the epidemic, rats must be caught all at once to be eradicated, Family Head.”

 

I gazed at the Family Head with clear eyes. This person didn’t fail to know about the family’s traitor because she was stupid.

 

It was simply because she had such an upright character that she couldn’t compromise not only with the Eight Families but also with the weak ones who joined hands with them.

 

So she arrogantly thought that her own child and chief disciple wouldn’t be like that either. No, at the very least, she thought they wouldn’t dare because they feared her.

 

“I have intact evidence that Sinion framed the Hei Family. But this alone will only deal a blow.”

 

“…”

 

“If you do as I say, we can completely destroy that family. What do you think?”
