The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 154

* * *

The building where First Aunt Hei Haran resided was the second largest building after the Family Head’s Palace where the Family Head stayed.

Considering Hei Haran’s status in this family, it wasn’t strange at all.

‘It’s only because the Family Head doesn’t acknowledge her as successor.’

Most of the Family Head’s Chief Disciples, Retainers, and Warriors all tacitly considered Hei Haran as the successor.

That was probably the case 5 years ago.

That situation changed drastically after I started to distinguish myself.

Just look at how the Warriors guarding Hei Haran’s dwelling don’t treat me carelessly now.

‘No, could there be another reason for this?’

I glanced at Dad who was carrying me. Not only that, I also looked at Uncle visible over Dad’s shoulder and Uncle standing on the opposite side.

‘Uncle, why on earth did you bring Ayan along?’

In Uncle’s arms, Ayan was being held while looking around here and there. Since she was a child who usually only stayed in the Eastern Wing, it must have seemed fascinating.

‘It’s early education, early education.’

‘What… don’t talk nonsense and don’t bring her along.’

‘Hah, try breaking our Ayan’s stubbornness if you can! Even you won’t be able to do this!’

‘Why are you being proud about that…’

Uncle said something ridiculous about how Ayan should also know who the enemy is.

He wasn’t the type to voluntarily take his daughter to dangerous places. It seemed like Ayan had really thrown a proper tantrum.

Anyway, before long, I arrived at the Inner Courtyard.

‘Well, would you look at this?’

Though not as large as the Great Space in front of the Family Head’s Palace, there was quite a spacious Open Ground in front of Hei Haran’s dwelling too.

And the yard was filled with Tents, with people gathered around. The faces were quite familiar.

‘They’ve gathered all the Physicians of the Hei Family Estate, haven’t they? Warriors and Servants too.’

The Family Head’s Chief Disciples were also visible one after another.

And Hei Haran, who had been on the Steps in front of the dwelling, turned her head.

Today too, she had a venomous expression. The moment she saw me, she raised her eyebrows and walked down step by step.

The noisy surroundings quieted down.

It felt like everyone was looking at us. I looked at Aunt approaching while being held in Dad’s arms.

‘Being held by Dad means I can look down at her.’

It’s childish, but this is quite effective. Sure enough, Aunt who had come close frowned slightly.

“I greet you, Aunt. I heard you called for me?”

Though this was the second summons. I shamelessly greeted her while being held, grabbing my skirt.

Dad and Uncle and Uncle standing behind me didn’t even acknowledge it.

First Aunt looked at us with displeasure but nodded her head.

“Yes, I called for you.”

Then she turned her gaze toward the tents and people filling the surroundings.

“Ah, there’s an unavoidable event today, you see. It was the day of the exchange meeting.”

“I see.”

What does it mean that she gathered people under that pretext and called for me? As soon as I answered that I would come, she created a bunch of spectators. That’s what this is about.

“Please understand if the inner courtyard is a bit noisy.”

This means you should understand me, and she wants to make clear the class difference between her and me.

“We’re just going to talk, so what does it matter?”

Right. No one knows what these spectators will end up seeing, right? They might see your ugly side.

I said with a bright smile.

“So why did you call for me?”

“…Do you truly not know?”

The smile slightly disappeared from First Aunt’s face, who had been smiling similarly.

A shadow fell over her spiteful face.

“Did you not inflict merciless violence upon my son Hei Daeui?”

It was certainly no coincidence that First Aunt’s voice grew louder so the surrounding people could hear.

“Is that all? Not only did you assault my son, but even the innocent guards – one died and one returned severely injured. The warrior who survived with difficulty testified that this happened while protecting my son.”

Huh.

Our dad only hit Hei Daeui because he was talking nonsense.

“Do you see over there!”

Someone was limping toward us.

It was Hei Daeui, wrapped in bandages all over his body including his neck, jaw, and forehead, leaning on crutches.

He had a splint on one foot.

“You completely crushed the captain’s foot. Thanks to you, my son may never be able to walk properly again.”

He was hit in the face, so why did he come out on crutches? I stared at Hei Daeui indifferently.

“Look here, bring the patient who was scheduled to demonstrate treatment today!”

“Yes!”

As if it had been arranged, before I could say anything, someone was carried over here.

This person was missing one arm.

Moreover, his whole body was covered in blood. I wasn’t even sure if he was conscious.

“Do you see the one lying on the stretcher?”

I quietly looked down at the lying person’s hand.

‘No fingernails.’

Thinking that Uncle would surely cover Ayan’s eyes or she would leave on her own. I quietly observed.

…These are traces of torture.

‘Crazy person.’

Though I knew it already.

“This person’s tongue has been cut!”

The one who got slapped claims his leg was completely shattered. One bodyguard died and the other became severely injured with his tongue cut off.

“The Family Head has strictly forbidden martial violence and sanctions between direct family members. Therefore, your assault on my son as well as his bodyguards constitutes a grave crime. Do you understand!”

Pretending to be neutral while expressing anger.

Even the murmuring of those around us must be intentional.

‘Good grief.’

I was reminded of five years ago.

Back then, she went after my father, uncle, and uncle. Today it’s me.

She sees Dad, Uncle, and Uncle as warriors beneath me.

So she claims they acted on my behalf, holding me responsible.

I quietly stared at the man lying on the stretcher, moaning.

‘Why would a physician try to harm people?’

This was a question I had in both the first and second rounds. You harmed people too readily to obtain this family.

Researching poison is understandable.

After all, poison and medicine are ultimately one.

But to frame your young niece, you tortured your own people without hesitation.

Even going so far as to cripple your son’s foot.

I glanced at Hei Daeui.

“….”

He was trembling like a helpless fool, relying on crutches and his attendant, unable to do anything.

Unable to even look his mother in the eye, his face was stained with terror, pale as a ghost.

The sweat dripping down wasn’t from pain but appeared to be cold sweat from fear.

“R-right, Mother’s words are all, right….”

I turned my head away from looking at my foolish cousin who had become a mess in just a few days.

“So it seems you all want to say that I, that my people did this.”

I raised my eyes.

I hate you.

A physician can care about money and choose patients. I think this too is human.

But you must not use patients. You must not make patients into tools.

How are you different from those crazy Eight Families who used illness as a tool?

My expression darkened.

“You haven’t forgotten that we have a capable Wind Mage, have you?”

Wind Mages can record sounds.

“While it’s true that Daeui came to my clinic, I merely scolded him for the false rumors he spoke and sent him back. That was the end of it.”

Then, as if she had been waiting, Hei Haran lifted the corners of her lips. Her eyes filled with righteous indignation, pretending to be just.

“Oh my, well said. But who knows if that Wind Mage only recorded what was favorable to you?”

I smiled brightly at this.

“Yes. You spoke well! Then, who knows if Aunt personally tortured and broke her son’s foot to create this situation?”

You can’t trust recordings? Then do you have evidence?

I actually knew this would happen. I was just angry that the situation was more miserable than I expected.

“And I also have something I want to say. Aunt.”

You think you’re the only one who can make a big fuss? I know how to do it too.

I smiled even more sweetly.

Fine, if what you want is a mud-slinging fight, then let’s give it a try.

“Weren’t you also a very capable Physician, Aunt? But… if everything you’re claiming is true, then you left your subordinate who returned in that state without giving him immediate treatment, and abandoned him just to show him off to me and my people?”

The ones gathered here are ultimately Physicians.

Though some may be filled with greed, they’re still people who started this work to save lives.

You just stupidly admitted to abandoning a patient here.

“And in this Physicians’ Family that the First Family Head created to save people, no less!”

I smiled inwardly as I watched First Aunt’s beautiful face crumple with a crunch.

Why are you already scrunching up your face? The fun part is just beginning.
