The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius
Chapter 185
* * *
Eastern Empire. The Hei Family Estate in this land not far from the sea.
This place, famous as a prestigious family of physicians and treatment, was always busy and lively.
“Sob sob! Please, I beg you!”
A man so young he looked boyish knelt on one knee, tears streaming down as he pleaded.
“Please treat my brother well!”
The man wore Western Continent-style uniform. It wasn’t soldiers’ attire but rather more ornate ceremonial dress.
Despite his disheveled platinum hair and tears, nobility and elegance emanated from his face.
Indeed, this person was a high noble from the neighboring kingdom. In that place where civil war had broken out, patients emerged almost daily.
Among them, those with serious injuries had come all the way to the Hei Family Estate.
The young man who had lived proudly his whole life earnestly prayed, seeking the sky and the Western Continent’s Guardian Deity.
‘Surely this place can save anyone who isn’t already dead!’
It was the path Father had sent him and his brother on, holding onto his last hope.
“Tsk, tsk. Lift your head.”
The man, a mess from crying, raised his head. A giant man formed on the young man’s retina.
It was a man with long black hair tied carelessly and left disheveled.
He had the pure, handsome features of a scholar, but his expression was irritable and fierce beyond measure.
“You, no, your family member patient… went inside safely, you know? No, went inside. So stop sniveling, no no. Stop crying and get up.”
Unlike his scholarly face, his long, solid build was impressive. Moreover, his clothing matched that of the warriors here.
“Sniff, are you… not a, physician? Sniffle!”
“Ah, why am I comforting a cry-baby, no no. Yes, well. I’m a warrior.”
The Hei family man with long hair swept his bangs up.
“Security Captain Hei Birang.”
A troubled expression crossed the man’s face, but the kingdom’s young man, consumed with grief, didn’t notice.
“My, my brother’s ar, arm flew off, and his sto, stomach sniff…”
“Yes, yes yes. Even though there’s a gaping hole, don’t worry. We get plenty of patients like that.”
The current warfare on the Western Continent was as severe as, if not more than, the past, and as always, it wasn’t particularly peaceful.
Excluding the Empire where the Hei family resided, it was indeed a place full of fire and earth ability users who were impatient, hot-blooded, and warlike, so everyone vigorously continued their power struggles through disputes and fights.
To pity them as poor people, most of the Western Continent’s citizens had similar tendencies.
So the Hei family man, Hei Birang, didn’t understand this continent that constantly fought, but he accepted it.
“You must have seen our physicians active in the civil war that broke out in your kingdom?”
“Th, that’s, sniffle, true, but…”
The Western Continent young man shedding tears looked even younger than his age. As if he had just become an adult.
That appearance reminded him of Hei Biyu and his daughter Ayan, and Hei Birang felt his irritation fade. Tsk, he clicked his tongue.
“That brother of yours became like that while blocking the city gate alone to save thousands of people, right?”
“Yes… *sniff*. My, my brother is… a, a hero of the nation…”
He was so distraught that he stuttered, but Hei Birang understood.
“Right. A very righteous and noble hero, that’s why we specially brought him into the Family Head’s Palace, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
Hei Birang adjusted his sharp tone a little. Comforting a brat was still annoying, but he understood why he had been assigned to this guy.
“The one currently looking after your brother is our family’s best physician. You must have heard of her?”
“Ah…”
As if finally coming to his senses, reason returned to the young man’s eyes. Soon joy flashed across them and a blush bloomed on his face.
“I heard, I heard. The continent’s no, this place’s Uiseon is taking care of him… *sob*, thank you, thank you.”
The most famous and capable physician on this continent. Was that all? Countless patients had already passed through those hands.
Someone famous for not avoiding even the lowest or dirtiest places.
Though also famous for being selective about patients. How happy he had been that his brother met those strict conditions.
Hei Birang let out a hollow breath at the young man’s rambling words.
“Hey, there’s some bullshit mixed in there? Being selective about patients isn’t our kid’s fault, okay? Those crazy dictator bastards who massacred villagers came with just money making demands, so we refused! Refused! Got it?”
“Ah, ah, yes, yes!”
Hei Birang’s scolding was enough to stop even the young man’s remaining tears.
Sensing an unusual aura, the young man nodded earnestly with a meek expression.
“Repeat after me, our kid is what? Even if Uncle knows jack shit, she’s very kind, pretty, and right…!”
“Hahaha, thanks for the praise.”
“…!”
Hei Birang’s rambling stopped when someone smoothly pushed past him and appeared.
The young man from the kingdom opened his eyes wide.
“So you were here.”
The newcomer was a woman who looked similar in age or perhaps a year or two younger than him.
She appeared to have just reached adulthood.
However, the reason he opened his eyes wide was because the woman with mysterious light purple hair had a white, fair face and was a beauty with abundant eyelashes.
A gaze full of determination, contrasting with her delicate appearance that reminded one of a single flower.
As the son of a high noble who had seen countless young ladies, he was momentarily entranced by the appearance of a peer who could undoubtedly be called the greatest beauty.
Thump!
“Again, it’s starting again!”
Hei Birang stamped his foot and made some incomprehensible sound. The young man quickly came to his senses.
The woman before him smiled brightly as if familiar with this and extended her hand.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Hei Biyu, acting Family Head of the Hei Family.”
“Ah… I’m Runde, second son of Duke Patiya.”
The young man quickly stood up and placed his hand on his chest, showing a knight’s greeting. Then he tried to take Biyu’s hand and kiss the back of it.
“Tsk. I knew this would happen. Kyaak. Where do you think!”
Hei Birang naturally intervened, grabbing the young man Runde’s wrist to stop him, then naturally inserted himself between the two.
Biyu, who had requested a handshake, smiled and naturally withdrew her hand. While shrugging her shoulders.
Seeing this, Runde instinctively realized.
Inhuman beauty, and tremendous skill contrasting with it. This person was the continent’s greatest physician who had made a name greater than any hero, Hei Biyu.
“M-my brother is….”
“Ah, the treatment is finished. I came to tell you to go in and see him.”
“…!”
Seeing the young man’s trembling eyes, Biyu spoke gently as if to reassure him.
“I’ve closed all the wounds on his abdomen and restored one eye. Fortunately, you brought the severed arm with you, so I was able to reattach it. He’s unconscious but will wake up soon. There won’t be any aftereffects, and if he takes good care of himself, he’ll be able to hold a sword again.”
“…!!”
“There’s nothing to worry about.”
To the patient’s family, explain as simply and thoroughly as possible. So that those who were anxious can feel at ease.
“Th-thank you….”
“Don’t mention it.”
Biyu stepped aside.
“Go in and see him. He’ll be sleeping.”
Tears welled up in Runde’s eyes again. He bowed several times and even gave a deep bow before hurrying away.
Biyu rubbed her tired eyes only after the young man had completely disappeared.
“I can’t live like this…. Uncle. Didn’t I tell you not to intimidate patients’ families?”
What she needed to do now was punish her uncle’s back for causing trouble again. Smack smack! Even while getting hit on the back, Hei Birang had something to say.
“Ah! Ow! Hey, your hands aren’t even that strong! You’ll hurt your wrist!”
“What? Should I call Ayan over?”
“…I was wrong. Damn! No, but what did I do wrong?”
Hei Birang felt wronged.
“You! Didn’t you see that guy’s eyes? The way he was gawking at your face, he looked like he was about to propose any moment. Those kinds of guys are all wolves, wolves!”
“…What nonsense. A patient’s family wouldn’t be in the right state of mind for that….”
Biyu shook her head.
A whole eight years had passed, and she had become an adult capable of serving as acting Family Head and performing treatments.
But the overprotectiveness of Dad, Uncle, and Elder Brother only seemed to get worse with each passing year, showing no signs of diminishing.
“It’s only because your dad and elder brother are away, otherwise they’d be even worse!”
“What are you bragging about, bragging about.”
Biyu patted her uncle’s back while turning her head.
“I’m tired from concentrating on the surgery.”
“…Want me to carry you? Have you eaten?”
“Yawn, I should eat.”
Biyu smiled slightly while rubbing her eyes. She had no intention of ranking patients by class, but the one who came in urgently this time was a patient worth saving.
“Be nicer to paying patients and their families.”
“Money, what money.”
Hei Birang grumbled. He could see his niece’s clean profile. How she came to resemble her mother so much as she aged – Biyu, who resembled Baek Arin who was famous for her beauty in life, became more beautiful each day.
Though she herself would joke about how she could compare to her mother’s beauty.
Moreover, her talk about being money-minded or treating patients based on profit was just talk.
Not only did she treat the poor, but she always gave top priority to those who had sacrificed themselves to save others, treating them first in any situation.
Hei Birang knew what to call such a person.
But since his niece said it was embarrassing, he had to keep quiet about it.
“Since you’ll soon become the head of the family, I’ll shut up.”
“Oh my, thank you.”
Biyu couldn’t hold back and laughed. Clear laughter spread through the air.
I really want this kid to know.
How difficult it currently is for him, along with Hei Bihu and Hei Biwon, to ignore and fend off the marriage proposals that come pouring in as soon as Biyu reaches adulthood.
‘That idiot from earlier too, his eyes already looked crazy. Tsk.’
Hei Birang shook his head back and forth, thinking of Runde who had run to his brother.
“Uncle, we need to make lots of money.”
Biyu, his niece who had now grown so much, turned to look at him and said. It was a bright smile, a pretty and youthful expression only shown to family and close friends.
“There are many people to beat up.”
Hei Birang chuckled at that sight.
“Alright.”
The wind blew.
It was someone’s ability that was slightly unpleasant to Hei Birang, but welcome to Biyu.
‘Dad must be coming back.’
Probably her father, who had briefly gone out, was sending a signal that he was returning.
Biyu looked up at the sky.
The day was extremely clear and sunny.
And…
Biyu’s, the Hei Family’s revenge was still ongoing.
