The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 169

This story goes back to the day I was talking with Mother.

After meeting Mother, I began preparing for the competition in earnest.

During the process of preparing medicine, I also sought advice from Mother.

Even though there were limits to what could be conveyed through words, Mother gave amazing answers.

– Ah, I don’t know much about that eye disease, but I understand after diagnosing the symptoms. There was a similar illness when I was alive. Would you like to hear Mother’s opinion?

‘Of course!’

Physicians who treat using nature as a medium, such as water and wind, display miraculous abilities when their powers reach the ultimate level.

I call this ‘Healing Acceleration.’

Let’s take a look at treatment that heals torn wounds while simultaneously making flesh mend.

Some physicians treat by activating cells, while others accelerate time limited to just the wound to make it recover.

Mother and I were the latter type.

A physician’s ability was often divided based on whether they could apply this not just to wounds but to all diseases.

Five years ago, in Cheimic Territory, being able to quickly treat diseases with Raon’s Amplification Ability was also because I had briefly regained abilities similar to my prime.

However, it was also an ability I couldn’t use currently. Because my younger body couldn’t handle the power.

But now there’s no problem. Mother has become my ally, hasn’t she?

“How long do you think it will take?”

I asked quietly while watching the water stream moving for treatment.

– If it were just me, two days, but if Our Daughter is with me, about one day?

I smiled slightly.

When I looked up, the patient was staring blankly at my face. I smiled bitterly.

“I’m sorry. It must have hurt a lot?”

“…Yes, yes?”

“I should have come to you directly instead of having you come here.”

“What do you mean, no, that’s not it. It’s… it doesn’t hurt, so I was staring because it’s amazing. So amazing…”

The patient’s shoulders trembled slightly.

“Actually, my child is also sick… that thought came to mind, that only I’m getting better.”

“They will be healed.”

“…!”

“When this competition ends, I’ll go out to the streets directly.”

The patient’s head shot up.

“The Hei Family’s value exists because you all are here.”

“…Cough, Physician, you are…”

The patient sniffled quietly with a choked expression. I deliberately smiled playfully.

“Well, I’m not exactly kind. That’s why I’m competing to beat them, right?”

I know.

Hei Haran and I cannot coexist.

I have an unforgettable grudge against that woman. I don’t deny that I also have personal feelings of revenge.

Conversely, that woman will never be able to tolerate a young niece who has caught the Family Head’s eye.

In the end, one of us will have to fall.

“Now, the medicine entering your body will circulate through your blood vessels for a day, permeating your entire body to heal you. The spots that appeared on your skin will all disappear, but the disease inside your body hasn’t disappeared yet. You mustn’t overexert yourself.”

I must put an end to the worst disease that Hei Haran and the Eight Families created by accelerating their timeline, so it can no longer create mutations.

“And when the treatment is finished, I’ll have you sit in the area I’ve prepared at the end there. You must not leave that spot.”

“Yes, yes! Of course…! When you’re healing me, I should listen to anything!!”

The patient nodded earnestly.

The patients’ ages varied. It seemed they had gathered everyone except young children. I could feel the Family Head’s intention that if I was a physician, I should try treating people regardless of gender and age.

How much time had passed?

“Wooooah!”

Exclamations burst out among those watching. I was in the middle of treating my third patient.

When I turned toward where the sound came from, I saw a tree stretching toward the sky on the opposite side, in Hei Haran’s area. Something that might have been petals or leaves was fluttering down.

– Hmm, that one is still obsessed only with outward appearances.

Mother’s observation was apt.

The patient wrapped in vines was blinking their eyes.

As the spots that had covered their face disappeared, the patient’s complexion became full of vitality.

“My, my body feels refreshed!”

“I was cured in one go!”

“As expected of Lady Hei Haran…!”

I clicked my tongue inwardly.

‘What a show-off.’

Hei Haran must have received medicine from the Eight Families in advance. She just had to hide it on her body somehow and use it at the right moment.

– Aren’t you anxious?

“Is there a reason to be anxious?”

I chuckled.

“The most foolish people in the world are those blockheads who believe they’ve conquered disease.”

A physician must not be arrogant.

Disease is like a living, breathing creature that also has whims.

The spectators cheered as if on cue each time Hei Haran cleanly treated one person after another.

I naturally paid no attention to it.

It was around the time I was treating my fifth patient.

“P-Physician…!”

The fifth patient was a middle-aged woman in her forties. Throughout the treatment, she kept looking around here and there with an anxious expression.

I hadn’t paid attention to it since anxiety symptoms commonly appear in seriously ill patients.

But she grabbed me after the treatment was finished. I wasn’t flustered.

“Th-thank you so much for treating me. Oh my… how can I ever repay this kindness.”

“No. I just did what was natural.”

“….”

The woman pressed her lips tightly shut, then suddenly bent over at the waist as if her stomach hurt. This naturally brought her closer to me.

“Physician, actually I was… I was Hei Haran’s servant.”

“…What?”

“Cough, be careful, be careful. She forcibly made me into a patient… Something, I fell asleep before coming here.”

“Patient…! Please calm down!”

I hurriedly grabbed the trembling woman’s arm. The woman gripped my hand painfully tight.

Wildly shaking pupils, cold sweat, and a trembling body. These were typical symptoms of anxiety.

“I have insomnia, you see? So the sleeping medicine probably didn’t work. That’s why before I fell asleep, before that I heard…!”

The patient kept stammering but tried to convey something to me.

“She said she’d give a signal, a signal… when that signal comes…!!”

That was the moment she said those words.

“Cough!!”

The patient’s eyes suddenly rolled back, and she grabbed her own throat while choking. I could see her tongue had become stiff.

‘Paralysis poison!’

– Biyu!

“I know!”

I waved my hand. The water stream brought completely different medicinal herbs and put them into the woman’s mouth.

The woman soon vomited black blood frantically, then rolled her eyes back and fainted.

‘Suggestion and poison…’

Hei Haran had definitely set this up.

If this servant ever mentioned what she saw and heard, she would be poisoned like this and led to death.

‘I saved her for now.’

She wouldn’t die. Treatment wouldn’t be difficult either. However, I could feel sharp gazes looking at me.

“…Did you see that? Just now…”

“Tsk, as expected, such a young age lacks experience…”

I didn’t care about the evaluations of the physicians chattering behind me.

I looked down seriously at the fifth patient and bowed my head slightly.

‘This is someone who tried to tell me the truth even though she thought it might harm her.’

Moreover, she would serve as a witness for what would happen after the competition.

“…Thank you.”

I went and sat in front of the next patient.

Perhaps because I had politely greeted the previous patient, the next patient, though anxious, obediently entrusted their body to me.

– …That one really hasn’t changed at all.

Mother’s voice became ominously low.

“It’s okay. I know too.”

Treatment continued steadily. Until night came. When night arrived, pre-prepared lights illuminated the surroundings.

The Family Head returned in the evening, and the spectators either went home or chose to continue staying at this place. A chaotic environment. The time when it would be easy to cause trouble was approaching.

– Will you be okay? Resuming treatment like this.

“Of course.”

Wouldn’t I be angry too?

I smiled coldly with sunken eyes.

“Even this is beyond expectations.”
