The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 156

Of course. How am I supposed to prove I didn’t create a disease when I didn’t do such a thing in the first place?

‘Logically speaking, it’s complete nonsense.’

However, I know this isn’t a reprimand. Why?

‘Because I already finished discussing everything with this Family Head.’

The Family Head would have probably refused outright if I had asked her to take my side unconditionally.

But.

“If the eye disease is an epidemic as Hei Haran claims, then since it has already broken out, it will spread in an instant.”

The Family Head slowly turned her head, seeming to survey the assembled crowd.

“As Family Head and as Lord, I cannot ignore a disease that might spread throughout the territory. Even if it turns out to be nothing serious.”

Now that I know the Family Head isn’t actually blind, even that gesture looks different to me.

“If you are physicians, then fight with treatment and medicine. I have made this family that way.”

“…”

“You two will treat that disease. I will make my judgment after seeing the results.”

At that moment, Hei Haran’s eyes flashed ominously like light in darkness.

I clearly saw it from the corner of my eye.

‘Oh, she’s excited.’

While I just leisurely rubbed my neck.

“If either of you feels wronged, then handle the disease that caused this situation. I will believe the words of whoever treats it, and I’ll even let you decide the other’s punishment directly.”

She’s saying she’ll consider whatever the one who treats it says as the truth. Looking at it carefully, this Family Head is quite a consistent person.

As long as you’re excellent, good and evil don’t matter. In the original work, Ayan really was the hope for our Hei Family.

First Aunt tried hard to hide it, but she couldn’t conceal her pleased expression. I clearly confirmed it, even if just for an instant.

She probably thinks that since the faction that created the disease is backing her, treatment and medicine will be as easy as eating cold porridge.

Thinking they would have the medicine too.

‘If they had been that systematic, why would there have been a result where they were ruined by the disease they created?’

They were arrogant, believing they could control the disease. It was a fitting result.

I nodded inwardly.

Well, I didn’t expect this from the Family Head.

‘Look at her taking my side?’

I already treated it though?

I know all about the medicine.

‘Even the variants.’

I grinned. Ah, what a wonderful world for a regressor to live in.

“I will follow the Family Head’s command.”

When I bowed politely and answered, a calm voice soon followed.

“I will follow Mother’s command.”

And so, ten days later was set as the day for the demonstration.

* * *

“Now, let’s begin the exploration.”

Two days had passed since the Family Head declared the competition in front of me and Hei Haran.

“Should I clap?”

“Oh my, at times like this you should just clap without asking. You’re terrible at social situations. What about you, Hei Bihu?”

Dad pondered deeply, then immediately clapped loudly. At the same time, wind blew and tousled my bangs.

“Not Hei Bihu, Dad.”

It felt as if the wind had patted my head. Dad was smiling softly.

Today I was dressed in clothing that was even more comfortable to move in than usual. In my hands, I held a children’s hoe.

‘This worked out well. I should take down all those bastards like Carmen and Sinion who are behind First Aunt.’

First Aunt had briefly shown an expression of ‘this isn’t right’ only later, but it was already too late.

By now she must be seeking out those behind her to get medicine.

‘I wonder if that medicine will work well?’

Why would illness be such a frightening thing?

Illness doesn’t stay fixed. Even the same disease evolves day by day.

Depending on the person, it sometimes shows different symptoms, and especially in young children, it can transform into an entirely different disease.

Physicians are those who study the essence of such diseases. And those who spare no effort to save lives through countless failures.

‘Perhaps from the moment First Aunt relied on convenience, she could no longer be called a physician.’

Today I was going to personally dig up medicinal herbs that would become the main ingredients for medicine with Dad.

Normally I would ask Uncle Undeok, who is a skilled herb gatherer.

‘But what I need to bring now requires me to personally check its condition.’

Moreover, the habitat was also a rather special place. It was the northern mountain, specifically an area that only the direct line of the Hei Family could enter.

“I’ve heard everything.”

The person who spoke was Benton, a knight from Wolfsbane.

I hadn’t paid particular attention to him, but he had also come along when I went at First Aunt’s summons.

Had it been about a week now since he started following me around? I had disclosed everything to this person as long as it wasn’t sensitive information.

Of course, it was all calculated behavior.

‘It would be good if he goes back and tells the Wolfsbane Family Head that the Hei Family is in shambles.’

And it wouldn’t matter if he didn’t.

It was fine for the Eight Families to look down on the Hei Family. Since that wasn’t actually the case, and the more they thought this way, the higher their noses would rise and the more arrogant they would become.

They would become lax without even thinking to hide their weaknesses.

“What story? You should say you saw it all directly.”

“…That’s not wrong.”

Benton rubbed his chin. If I wasn’t mistaken, he looked a bit embarrassed.

He seemed a little more relaxed than when I first saw him.

It probably wasn’t that he was looking down on me, but rather… it was likely because he had clearly seen me treating patients while following behind me.

At some point, I could feel him gradually lowering his guard. Of course, he was still cautious and observant like a wild animal prowling around.

‘When did it start…’

Ah. It must have been about four days ago. Even while busy, I stopped by one hospital ward.

That place only treated young patients. And it was also an area I paid particular attention to.

‘Child patients are tricky, after all.’

It seemed to be from that time. When that man’s wariness began to fade.

Benton hesitated for a moment before asking.

“Do you think you can win?”

Hm? Is he picking a fight?

“Isn’t that so. Hei Haran is someone I know well too. Even though they say you’re a genius.”

He probably wants to say I’m young.

“I understand the opponent has been active as a very capable physician for a very long time.”

“Is there a reason I should think I’ll lose?”

I tilted my head.

Actually, I didn’t really think of this as a competition or contest.

It was like both of us taking a test with answer sheets.

It was clear whose answer sheet would be more accurate.

They only had research data about the disease they created, but I had lived through a life where that disease ran rampant.

Since there was no reason to tell Benton this, I shrugged my shoulders.

“Think whatever you want.”

“…Would it be difficult to ask the Family Head to pretend this never happened?”

“Oh, what an presumptuous request. No, statement.”

I stared at Benton once as if warning him.

“Did I allow you to go that far?”

Perhaps realizing that I meant he should stop following me around, the man flinched for a moment.

“If I was rude, I apologize.”

“…”

The man straightened his posture. Compared to our first meeting, his attitude was tinged with caution.

“It’s only been a week, but watching you, I felt it. I can certainly see why you’re called a genius despite your young age. It was impressive.”

I set down the tool I was holding. Dad lightly gripped my shoulder.

– Are you displeased? Should I blow him away?

I shook my head.

Not particularly. Let’s see what he has to say.

“It’s still early to bring this up, but… you seem capable at treating children too.”

I realized what story Benton was trying to bring up.

“Have you ever treated a child with a more serious illness?”
