The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius
Chapter 150
I couldn’t help but be flustered.
Why would I suddenly hear that name?
However, I didn’t show my agitation outwardly.
‘Dad is watching.’
It would look strange if I panicked when we had no connection.
However, I didn’t realize at the time that maintaining composure here would actually look even stranger.
“What’s their business?”
“They wouldn’t say.”
“What about the Family Head? Someone of that level should go directly to her, shouldn’t they?”
Wolfsbane.
It was the foremost among the Eight Families. While there was fierce rivalry among the eight families, it was still a place that the other families tacitly acknowledged.
‘Tch. What’s so great about a family that took its name from a poisonous plant?’
I stared at Dad without abandoning my cynical thoughts.
Then I turned my head.
“Ayan, let’s go. I’ll take you to Dad.”
“Huh? What about Ayan’s medicine…?”
I stroked the cheek of the dejected Ayan. How could such a cute being exist?
I could understand Hei Birang’s feelings.
The desire to never show our Female Lead anything dirty.
“I’ll definitely look at it when I come back. You want to learn new medicine too, right? And treatment methods.”
“Yes!”
Ayan immediately brightened up and firmly grasped my sleeve.
“Will Elder Sister stay with me all day?”
At that moment, I realized.
What Ayan really wanted wasn’t new medicine preparation methods, but time with me.
Whenever I faced such pure affection, I always hesitated. Did I deserve to receive this kind of love?
However, contrary to my thoughts, my heart felt pleasantly warm and fuzzy.
“Yes, I’ll stay with you for two whole days.”
“Hehe, yes! I like it!”
Ayan hugged me tightly.
“I like Elder Sister the most.”
…Your dad is going to be heartbroken. I smiled and patted the child’s back.
After taking Ayan back, I was carried in Dad’s arms to the place where the person from Wolfsbane was waiting.
“Is this it?”
Wolfsbane’s envoy was waiting in the patient waiting room at the eastern entrance. It was a place created for the occasional distinguished guests.
‘Honestly, it was made more to protect the regular patients than for the distinguished guests.’
Noble bastards who think they’re VIPs have a high rate of causing trouble.
“Hello, Physician!”
“Yeah.”
The young warrior guarding outside the waiting room greeted me brightly. Was he the talent Uncle had recruited from Hei Gakdae?
I entered the waiting room and faced Wolfsbane’s envoy.
The person from that family was a man in his mid-thirties. His large build indicated that the man was a warrior.
Dark skin and red hair. His face bore a large scar.
‘His face looks familiar.’
It was a face I had seen when I was at Wolfsbane in the third round. The fact that he looked familiar to me meant he was a warrior who guarded key figures.
In Western Continent terms, he would be a knight.
“Are you the Advanced Physician Hei Biyu?”
Wow, starting with informal speech right away? It was indeed fitting for an arrogant family that believed they were directly under the Emperor.
Since Dad seemed about to step forward, I quickly raised my hand to stop him.
“Oh, what a refreshing reaction.”
I crossed my arms and snorted.
“So there are warriors who speak down to physicians even knowing they’re physicians.”
The man’s stern eyebrows twitched.
“Do you think you’re someone worthy of receiving respect from the great Wolfsbane Family?”
“What’s wrong with receiving it?”
I smiled brightly.
“You spoke down to me first, so I’m just returning the favor. I guess you don’t like it.”
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
“But seeing how you came all the way here and even waited in this shabby waiting room, you must need me, right?”
Arrogance meets arrogance.
“If you don’t like what you see, go to a physician better than me.”
The exit is behind you, you bastard.
I gestured with my eyes while keeping my arms crossed. As if on cue, wind blew from somewhere and rattled the door.
As if telling him to leave on his own.
The man’s eyes instantly turned fierce.
‘Nice, Dad.’
Uncle has been calling us a father-daughter extortion team lately, and I quite like that name.
It’s better to look intimidating to these bastards than to look easy.
The man’s fierce eyes held me for a long time.
“This insolent…”
The man tried to spring up from his seat. But it remained just an attempt.
Whoosh! Thud!
The wind pressed down strongly and forced the man back into his seat. Veins bulged on the man’s strong face and neck. Despite exerting force, he couldn’t stand up.
“Haha, please stay seated. I’m not a host who treats guests harshly.”
This formal speech was close to mockery, and the man would know it too.
I requested Dad to let me sit across from the man. Dad seated me and naturally stood beside me like a bodyguard.
The sound of wind that could be heard was fierce. As if ready to sweep everything away if things went wrong.
“Are you inclined to state your business now?”
The man’s eyes seemed to glare at me for a long while. That’s when it happened. Strangely, the anger that had been dwelling in his pupils disappeared in an instant.
As if it had all been an act. Only cold, calculating eyes remained in their place.
“If I was rude to the Physician, I apologize.”
Though his voice was arrogant, the man obediently apologized.
Since they weren’t the type to give in easily, I didn’t let my guard down. I was smiling but didn’t respond.
“I am Knight Benton, belonging to the great Wolfsbane Family.”
Ah, right. That was his name.
In the 3rd round, it was a face I had seen near the Wolfsbane Family Head.
“I came here following the Family Head’s orders.”
So what’s your business?
“Currently, we are looking for a Physician to treat an important patient in our family.”
I thought I knew who it was.
But I asked without showing it.
“Who is it?”
“…I cannot tell you. I can only say that they are a very important person.”
Usually patients become the weaker party in front of physicians. Especially when they’re the only person who can save them.
However, those who look down on physicians or think they can order around any physician are different.
Like this man before my eyes.
‘So what am I supposed to do about it?’
“You’re a guest from a very noble family, but it seems you’ve come to the wrong place.”
I answered calmly while interlacing my fingers.
“The most outstanding Physician in our family is undoubtedly the Family Head.”
“I have received permission from the Hei Family Head. Permission to visit this place.”
“…”
I closed my mouth.
‘What is that old hag thinking?’
Until I turn 8, she wouldn’t establish any official relationship with the Eight Families nor make any deals with them.
The Family Head was still keeping that oath.
There was no reason to break it now.
Which meant…
‘She decided it would be more convenient to monitor me by keeping me close.’
It was as if the Family Head had given me a direct order. To talk directly with this man, investigate… and monitor the Eight Families.
‘Well, it might be better to monitor from this side rather than let me make contact with aunt.’
The reason the Family Head thought this way was also clear. There were three people here who had nothing to do but overflowing strength.
Moreover, excluding Dad, there were two people whose conditions had improved compared to before.
“So what do you want? Will you show me the patient?”
“It’s the opposite. I’m looking for a physician to accompany me to Wolfsbane.”
“For something like that, your attitude when asking was pretty messed up.”
“….”
The knight clasped his hands together.
“You, ‘Hei Biyu,’ are currently the most renowned rising physician in this territory, aren’t you? Moreover, I heard your reputation has even reached the capital. I want to stay here for a while and observe your skills from close by.”
Ah, so you’ll personally verify my abilities?
‘…How arrogant.’
Sending a warrior, not even a fellow physician, to do the verification?
‘Ridiculous.’
I focused on the fact that the warrior before me had red hair.
“You must be from a branch family.”
The man flinched.
“Why are you surprised? It’s common knowledge that all Wolfsbane bloodlines have hair as red as blood.”
“You speak as if you know well.”
Of course I would. I even know the secret passages in your family’s main hall.
‘This is a secret passage. Run away with me.’
‘…Why are you making running away from home sound so grand?’
‘Brother is helping you escape. Be grateful, little one.’
‘What brother….’
I casually suppressed the emerging scene and lifted only one corner of my mouth.
Ridiculous. Your family is just as arrogant now as it was then. Just like you.
“Fine. I don’t mind being observed. But you’ll have to endure us ‘monitoring’ you in return, won’t you?”
The wind was still pressuring the man. The man seemed to glance at Dad standing beside me.
“…Hei Bihu….”
Do they know each other? His gaze was strange.
“Yes, that’s fine.”
And so a very temporarily unpleasant visitor joined my clinic.
‘Perfect. I’ll have Uncle extract information about Wolfsbane’s movements.’
I whistled inwardly while listing things worth extracting.
I walked out of the building with the man, then stopped and turned my head.
Then I spoke as if I had just remembered something.
“Ah, I almost forgot.”
“Yes?”
“Even if you think I’m the right physician, there’s also the option of me not going if you don’t meet my standards.”
“….”
“Keep that in mind.”
So nicely spill all your information. Golden pig.
A cold flame ignited in the eyes of the man looking down at me. The ground seemed to shake briefly as if an earthquake had occurred.
“…Insolent.”
Go ahead. Try threatening me here. The place you’ll be going is prison.
The man gritted his teeth, but for some reason, he didn’t say anything more.
Instead, he rubbed his face roughly with his hands and muttered very quietly. He probably muttered it so I wouldn’t hear, but.
Strangely, I could hear it clearly.
“…Haah, what does the Young Master see in a woman like this that he wants to meet her….”
