The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 153

The attendant trembled and glanced around nervously. It was a reaction showing they hadn’t expected me to respond like this.

Well, at First Aunt’s residence, she would have acted like a queen, so disobeying her orders would have been unimaginable.

‘She was always someone who loved hierarchical obedience anyway.’

While I was sneering inwardly, someone stepped forward.

“Tell her I threw a tantrum and refused to send her.”

A sly voice. It was Uncle’s voice, who had just returned from an outing today.

When I glanced over, I saw Uncle grinning mischievously.

“The hierarchy among direct line members is equal, excluding the successor. So it shouldn’t matter, right?”

Oh. This was pointedly noting that First Aunt wasn’t the successor. If this gets relayed as is, she’ll be irritated.

“What, I was going to step up too. Hey. Tell my sister that I also refused to send her. Relay it properly, got it?”

“Little Uncle. Why are you threatening the attendant? This person isn’t at fault.”

“Hey, why are you only scolding me and not your brother?”

“Dad did wrong!”

“…Ayan, why are you only scolding me too? Dad is hurt…”

As if she’d been waiting, when Ayan scolded him while nestled in her dad’s arms, Uncle shriveled up like a withered branch.

It was a funny sight even after watching it for years.

“The conversation should be over, right?”

I gently pushed the attendant away with wind. The attendant, not knowing what to do, bowed deeply and left.

‘Ah, that feels refreshing.’

As Uncle said, excluding the successor, the hierarchy among direct line members is equal.

Of course, there would be subtle distinctions between physicians and non-physicians here.

‘That much doesn’t matter.’

Anyway, for First Aunt, the most important fact would be that I didn’t obey her orders.

“Our pretty one. You went through terrible things while Uncle was away? Should Uncle beat them all up for you~?”

“No. It’s okay.”

I glanced at Dad.

“Because my reliable Dad protected me from everything.”

Then Dad cleared his throat slightly. Though he pretended otherwise, I could see his expression subtly change.

The corners of his mouth that lifted as if pleased, and his cheeks that faintly flushed too.

I laughed quietly.

The past time had also been a time to realize that Dad was also a patient and a victim of an unwanted disease.

Moreover, thinking about going to the Imperial Palace and then, before returning home, using my remaining life to completely cure Dad’s illness made my heart feel rather light.

Since I could now smile genuinely while looking at Dad, it was small and simple but happy.

What if it was happiness born from resignation? It’s still happiness, isn’t it?

Uncle looked back and forth between me and Dad, then clicked his tongue.

“Should I consider this happiness?”

“Huh?”

Uncle shook his head.

“So I don’t need to give you a massage? I’d be disappointed if I don’t.”

“Just bear with it for now. More importantly, why are you treating me more like a child than when I was actually little?”

What’s with this word choice? Uncle just grinned.

“Children grow up. Is it because I’m sad about it?”

It’s something I both understand and don’t understand.

“By the way, there were some interesting incidents. Are they being resolved well?”

He’s talking about everything from the eye disease to the bad rumors about me, and even Dad blowing away Hei Daeui.

If I add one more thing, it could include the mastermind behind the eye disease.

“Yeah, don’t worry, it’s going smoothly.”

“Really? Then some of them can disappear, right? The people who said bad things about our Ppiyak.”

Suddenly, the back of my neck stiffened.

Without realizing it, I looked up at Uncle. Even though the killing intent wasn’t directed at me, I felt like my hair was standing on end.

“Uncle will beat them up just a little.”

I understand why the bad rumors about me spread so secretly.

Because there aren’t just one, but three people who wouldn’t just sit still if they knew about the rumors.

“I’m fine with that too.”

It’s possible to restrain just Dad alone. But if Dad, Uncle, and Uncle all join forces, it’s hard to stop them.

Causing a ruckus is fine too. But I know well where this sword should be used and what kind of sword dance is needed.

“I wasn’t planning to just leave alone those bastards who were saying weird things about me either. Remember?”

The guest from Wolfsbane was left in the guest room under the name of a family meeting.

“How Sinion is doing.”

This time I’m planning to talk about things that person shouldn’t hear either.

“You mean those bastards who are slowly dying of thirst?”

Earlier, Uncle covered Ayan’s ears saying he couldn’t let our daughter hear Uncle’s harsh words, and he’s still doing it now. Is that really okay?

‘Couldn’t we just leave the child behind from the beginning?’

When they suggested that, Ayan apparently threw herself on the floor and had a tantrum.

Uncle who gave in to that is also quite the daughter-fool, but it was a side I’d never seen in front of me before, so I was surprised every time I heard about it.

“Yeah. Those bastards.”

Five years ago, those bastards who spread epidemics twice and had their diseases suppressed by me.

It was clear that the Eight Families disliked the Hei Family.

But Sinion burned with the most hostility and had a clear reason for hating the Hei Family to death.

Location, geographical advantage.

Hei Family Territory is located between the capital and Sinion. Moreover, this place was also the center of supplies.

When the Hei Family took control of both supplies and patients, their advantages diminished, so they had no choice but to harbor hostility toward the Hei Family that occupied the prime land.

It was related to survival after all.

Especially since there was only desert behind them. They must have been even more anxious.

Not stopping there, unlike other cycles, Jeok Yunha’s trading company rose to prominence much faster than expected.

The White Dragon Trading Company, which had grown tremendously using the future information I gave them, monopolized supplies and refused to send anything to Sinion.

That’s why Sinion threatened them using the name of the Eight Families. The other seven families, feeling the crisis, joined in the pressure as well.

‘But it was already too late.’

Jeok Yunha’s trading company had already extended their reach to grains including wheat and various daily necessities. They had gained advantages beyond just the pharmacy business they were already good at.

And even if the Eight Families’ territories and their subordinates refused to buy White Dragon Trading Company’s goods to pressure Jeok Yunha, they couldn’t go bankrupt.

Because the Eastern Continent people scattered throughout the Empire bought from them. And the Empire needed the Eastern Continent’s physicians and mages.

Even the Eight Families couldn’t stop that flow.

‘Something so easy…’

The bitterness was brief, but the satisfaction continued endlessly.

In any case, Sinion was no different from a plant gradually withering away.

Unable to watch one of the Eight Families collapse, the remaining families swallowed their pride and helped Sinion, who had requested aid.

The place currently providing the most aid to Sinion is…

“‘Carmen’. Those bastards are probably behind this incident.”

“Huh, those guys who were only interested in the mercenary business?”

Uncle’s question wasn’t really a question.

In Uncle’s arms, unable to overcome boredom, Ayan was nodding off.

As Uncle said, Carmen was a warrior family focused on the war business.

Why would these people, who mainly operated in foreign countries, suddenly reach out to the Hei Family Estate?

It wasn’t difficult to predict.

“The Family Head rejected Carmen’s request. But First Aunt strongly argued that we should accept it.”

“Essential supplies for mercenaries. Physicians and medicine.”

“So, they need the Hei Family Estate’s abilities, but they’re worried because our influence keeps growing.”

Dad, Uncle, and I spoke in turn. Dad crossed his arms and added indifferently.

“My daughter’s power has grown.”

“Wow, Second Brother. That’s funny, are you bragging about your daughter?”

I listened to Uncle and Dad’s bickering and then said a word.

“This is just the beginning.”

Behind First Aunt are definitely Sinion and Carmen.

If we bring down First Aunt this time, Sinion will also fall.

Carmen will take a big hit.

Once First Aunt falls, there won’t be anyone else who can interfere with the Hei Family Estate’s business as much as she did.

Third Aunt? Third Aunt’s Husband? Certainly their resentment would be great too, but they can’t wield as much influence as First Aunt.

The Family Head will block them.

I don’t intend to sweep them away too. Fish can’t live in water that’s too clean.

‘Besides, if you just give them some candy, they won’t think about overthrowing the Hei Family Estate.’

If I give them some breathing room, they won’t act like cornered rats.

Instead, I need to show them once as an example that betraying the family leads to such miserable consequences.

I secretly darkened my expression.

‘And Dad’s illness… First Aunt was involved in that.’

I will make sure that too pays the proper price it deserves to pay in its rightful place.

That’s when it happened. Somehow, like a miracle, my eyes met with Dad’s. Maybe I was the only one looking at him.

I gave him a bright smile.

“Now we just have to wait. The prey that’s caught fire will come running to us on its own.”

“….”

I should take this opportunity to sweep everything away and settle the ties of the past.

I playfully mimicked drawing a bow.

“We just need to wait with our arrows ready.”

A few days later. When First Aunt called for me for the second time. I went to see her without hesitation.

‘Shall I go see that face drunk on medicine.’
