The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius
Chapter 186
* * *
“So, you need to be vigilant! Vigilant, I tell you!”
I covered my ears.
“Ugh, such nagging really…”
After struggling to save someone’s life and coming out, this Uncle was scolding the patient’s family again.
The person was even around my age. I felt sorry and quickly rescued them, but Uncle has been nagging ever since.
‘When will this man ever mature?’
Even in the original work, he was a daughter-obsessed fool, but he wasn’t this much of a nag. Looking closely, it seems like he only scolds me this much.
“Listen. That guy earlier had strange eyes too, you know? Mark my words, once he comes to his senses, he’ll be proposing marriage and all that nonsense to you.”
“Uncle… that’s being overly self-conscious. Why would a guardian who’s frantic about their patient think such things? I’ve told you many times, I’m not at that level…”
“Are you being deceptive now?”
“Well, yes. I’m pretty. But how many beauties are there in the world? There are many pretty people in the kingdom too.”
I pretended to pick at my ears and then brushed it off.
“You really would be shocked if you knew what your Brother and I have been dealing with. Such an impudent Niece.”
“Huh?”
“No, never mind. Forget it.”
Look at this. As he gets older, he’s gotten so good at sulking. And I’m the one who got nagged at.
I chuckled softly.
I raised my hand and undid my hair that had been secured with a hairpin. My long hair swayed gently in the wind.
Mother’s long hair looked so beautiful that I worked hard to grow mine out too.
I thought it would make me look more like Mother.
“But it’s unfair. Why does Uncle only nag me?”
While feeling the wind, I grumbled as if I felt wronged.
Looking at it, he has his own pretty daughter, yet he only scolds me.
Uncle was confident.
“That’s because! Our Daughter is…! Daughter is… going through puberty…”
His face growing sadder as he went on was honestly funny.
“Our Ayan is! Going through puberty!”
“That’s true.”
I nodded, thinking of how Ayan had been lately.
Since I’m a Regressor living my fourth life, I often get told I’m like an old soul.
On the other hand, unlike the original work, Ayan, who grew up without any particular hardships, was growing up energetically like a Child her age should.
‘That’s better anyway.’
If things had gone according to the original work, she would have gone through countless trials she didn’t need to experience.
On the other hand, thanks to having a master and mother, my skills seem to have improved even more than in the original work.
However, Ayan recently had been in a cold war with her uncle. You could say she was annoyed by her doting father’s overprotectiveness.
“Honestly, it’s partly because she’s going through puberty, but uncle is also at fault.”
“What?”
“The way Ayan storms off saying she doesn’t want to talk whenever she sees uncle. It’s because of uncle’s poor conversation skills.”
“Poor conversation skills? What do you mean? I love our Ayan so much…!”
“Then give the kid more freedom. She says she wants to go outside. Last time you even stopped her from going to the conflict zone.”
“What? The world is so dangerous, how could that be possible?”
“Then continue being hated.”
I grinned and turned my back.
“Hey, hey, Hei Biyu! Hey, niece, wait! You know how to solve this, right? Tell me!”
It was a peaceful day, no different from any other.
* * *
There’s a saying here about peace in a tea cup.
It may seem peaceful at first glance, but in reality it’s just temporarily quiet like the eye of a storm.
It also means that conflict and fighting will soon approach.
The current situation was exactly like that.
‘Well, at least it’s fortunate that the inside of the Hei Family Estate is peaceful?’
The Hei Family Estate, having filtered out most of the lackeys, sycophants, and spies, could now be considered second-grade water if not first-grade.
‘Dad, uncle, and great-uncle promptly pick out spies and internal traitors and cut them all down without delay.’
Since there were so many places targeting the Hei Family Estate, in the original work uncle alone had struggled.
Fortunately, in the current world, dad and great-uncle were also alive, and grandmother was functioning like a proper family head, making it possible.
“Welcome, Acting Family Head!”
“Ah, hello, Acting Family Head…!”
When I reached the zone where the patients were, the servants and physicians who spotted me bowed their heads. I smiled and responded.
‘Damn old hag.’
My becoming not just a physician but Acting Family Head was the will of the family head, grandmother.
‘Telling me to become family head in my 8th year!’
About a year ago, she had stepped down from the front lines, saying that since I would come of age next year and take the family head position, I should start preparing.
It was really sudden.
‘This is different from our promise!’
‘What’s different about it? Everything must go through preparation, mustn’t it? Even making medicine requires preparation like boiling or drying medicinal herbs.’
‘…’
‘Besides, I’m disappointed that no one knows your contributions in this war.’
‘It’s fine if no one knows.’
I answered sullenly, but the family head didn’t change her mind.
Thanks to that, I’m still being called by that bizarre title even now.
And I personally treat critical patients like the Kingdom patient I treated since yesterday.
‘Still, the results over 8 years have been quite good.’
Surprisingly, since the Family Head declared war on the Eight Families 8 years ago, up to the present.
As many as six of the Eight Families have either disappeared or been completely destroyed.
Even those still alive had only a fraction of their former power.
How was this possible, you ask.
‘A Regressor’s knowledge is like having a cheat code.’
‘Carmen is in a very serious state of internal succession disputes. Pretend to support one heir, then betray them.’
‘The Belladonna Family will try to use disease and destroy themselves. Just help the people in that region.’
‘This year the river will flood in Sinion Territory, and the land will be contaminated. Use that.’
In my third life, I had traveled everywhere and observed the Eight Families in detail, meeting various patients and obtaining their weaknesses in great detail.
However, since I was alone at that time, there were far more things I couldn’t utilize.
And having died because of them and the Crown Prince, I used this information without hesitation.
After all, they were crazy enough to plan to control this nation through disease. I felt no guilt.
What could they possibly do against a Regressor who even remembered natural disasters?
Moreover, I had a clear reason why I needed to handle things quickly.
My lifespan.
‘It’s not very long.’
I wanted to quickly eliminate them all and spend my remaining time happily with Mother and Dad.
‘There isn’t much time left.’
Of the two families currently remaining intact among the Eight Families, one included Wolfsbane where my ‘Friend’ had been.
But I wasn’t too concerned. I already had the strategy for dealing with them in my head.
The other one besides Wolfsbane was already in the process of self-destruction.
‘Only the Imperial Palace remains.’
During this time, I deliberately treated the leadership of other kingdoms and major Western Continent powers to make my name known, preventing the Imperial Palace from carelessly touching us.
Grandmother joked about this, asking if I could read the future or something.
‘It’s similar enough.’
Just as I finished my thoughts and was about to enter the building with the most patients.
“Hmm?”
The inside of the clinic, which was made for the Hei Family Territory residents to use comfortably, was quite noisy.
Since this was where patients with minor injuries gathered, it wasn’t unusual to see bandaged patients walking around.
But the commotion was greater than usual.
‘What’s going on?’
Soon I figured out the source of the commotion.
“Oh my, young man~ How is your skin so smooth? It seems even smoother than mine in my twenties!”
“Don’t reach out your hands, woman! He’s an important person!”
“…Uh, umm.”
“Thank you for helping. Our daughter’s eyes just sparkle whenever you come around, young man.”
“Our child even stops crying.”
The people were all married women or middle-aged women of considerable age.
Among them stood a man towering like a stake.
Silver hair white as fresh snow, long eyelashes blinking with embarrassment.
His golden eyes were the same, now on the verge of welling up with tears.
In ancient tales, there were beauties whose looks alone could bring down a nation.
I truly understood that fact now.
This incredibly beautiful young man whose looks you couldn’t find anywhere else on the continent.
It was Raon.
“Raon?”
Even though there was some distance between us, Raon quickly turned his head toward me. I burst into laughter at the young man who looked at me like a savior.
“Now, now, that’s enough everyone.”
I dispersed the people.
Today was the day for medical examinations for the market women, so it seemed they had all come for that.
“Our child is too shy and will end up crying.”
“Oh my, oh my.”
“Acting Family Head, couldn’t we just take one look?”
Raon came running over and despite his large frame, hid snugly behind my back, burying his head against my shoulder.
I gently stroked his fluffy hair and smiled.
“That won’t do, will it? He’ll cry.”
Our Raon has become even more shy around strangers as he’s gotten older. More bashful too.
