The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 3

* * *

To borrow my friend’s expression.

The child I reincarnated into was the prettiest in the Family but also the most fragile, a ‘butterfly’-like child who dies young.

The kind of character who dies early and makes the Protagonist sad, causing her to awaken her abilities.

‘A child who dies young.’

How absurd it was when I first opened my eyes.

The Current Family Head has five sons and three daughters.

Among them, three sons are confined due to incurable diseases, and I am the daughter of the second son.

For reference, the Female Lead is the daughter of the third son.

When I first opened my eyes, I still tried my best to do well, you know?

‘Right, I’m someone who knows the ending! So I can do anything!’

Yes, I could do anything!

‘Thanks to the story my friend told me, it wasn’t difficult to discover my abilities either.’

And then,

I died gloriously.

Why? Why on earth!

My first life didn’t go as planned.

I tried to step forward and treat important patients before the Female Lead could grow up.

‘Your abilities are amazing!’

That’s when I learned.

If a girl with no particular backing just has good abilities, she gets treated like a slave.

‘Avoid her! If you get close, there’s only death!’

‘Look, there’s some girl over there…!’

‘She’s bait!’

At such a young age, not even fully grown.

One of the major patients from the original story was rampaging with madness, and I was dragged there to forcibly attempt treatment, only to get caught up in the rampage he caused and die.

That was my first death.

When I opened my eyes.

Huh? Wasn’t this the start of my second life? I forgot about death for the moment and lived my second life.

‘I worked hard, learned Pharmacology, hid my abilities appropriately, and grew up well!’

This time, I died trying to prevent the original Female Lead’s father and main patient from falling off a cliff due to ‘delirium’, only to fall together with him!

‘Damn it! I won’t live according to the original story, I won’t!’

Twice was already being patient enough.

In my third life, I abandoned the original story and everything else that very day, turning my back on the family and leaving.

‘I’ll overcome my terminal illness and return home!’

My goal was to get my hands on the Imperial Treasure.

There’s a treasure that looks like an orb, and it grants wishes if you meet special conditions.

The original Protagonist also makes a wish to it at the ending.

I decided to obtain this and return home.

‘Should I be grateful to my friend who drilled the story into me, or should I grab them by the collar for making me reincarnate because of them?’

Third life.

As a regressor who knew the original story, I used every means and method to postpone my terminal illness and became an adult.

And then I died in the Imperial Palace.

My third death gave me a great realization.

Even if I reached the highest position as an individual, doing it alone was impossible.

The anti-Asian hatred carved deep into the nobles’ bones wasn’t something I could overcome alone.

If only I had had influence.

“Family.”

I needed that damn family that the lords of the Eight Families always talked about.

“Hah.”

In the end, I’m back to following the original story again.

“Tsk. What choice do I have.”

By now I had no choice but to realize that I couldn’t leave here without doing something about this damn family’s members.

I clicked my tongue and left the building.

“W-wait a moment, Lady Biyu!”

I heard the servant who belatedly came to her senses calling from behind, but I ignored her.

‘This route is useless anyway.’

I had shown some of my abilities in the second round too.

But the problem was the aunts who controlled the family from behind the scenes.

‘They blocked my story from reaching the family head.’

Because their sons had to become the next family head.

That’s why I left the family in the third round.

Honestly, original story or whatever, I left mainly because I felt nothing would work out because of these aunts.

‘Now that I’ve decided to follow the original story again.’

The royal road would be to go meet the Female Lead.

‘But there’s something I need to do first.’

Timewise, the Female Lead is still only two years old.

For now, that child is safe.

Then let’s go prepare a way for that child to remain safe in the future too.

‘The Protagonist, the baby princess, will become a precious family head in the future.’

Me as the family head?

I would absolutely never do such a troublesome thing.

While appropriately paving and pushing the Female Lead along the path she should originally take. I need to get my hands on the ‘treasure’ when entering the Imperial Palace.

‘Then I should meet that person first.’

I walked hurriedly.

* * *

The Hei Family Estate, so massive it could rival an entire village.

This place was built with money received after the pioneering family head ‘Hei Ahua’, who first came to the Western Continent, saved the Emperor’s life.

Incorporating Eastern architecture, every corner was incomparably splendid and magnificent.

This enormous place is divided into the Eastern Wing and Western Wing.

And.

“It’s freaking huge!”

I had to walk diligently to reach my destination.

I toddled along with a Water Container slung at my side.

‘A baby’s body is always inconvenient no matter when I experience it.’

Including my regression, I’ve lived in this body for 40 years in various ways, but it’s still inconvenient, that’s a fact.

Where I live is the Eastern Wing building.

Three patients live here.

I was on my way to find the person among them who could be helpful to me.

“Ugh, when will I ever get there. Biyu…”

Hei Biyu. It was the moment I was just turning the corner while grumbling and muttering my name.

Thud!

I tripped over something.

“Ow!”

This childish voice wasn’t something I wanted to make.

“Owww…”

Ugh, my nose.

I wasn’t particularly angry though.

The moment I raised my head, I realized I had arrived at my destination.

Or more precisely, I should say I found my target person.

‘It was around here.’

I quickly got up and brushed off my knees. There was a wound and some bleeding, but it was fine.

Then I pondered.

“Hmm.”

On the corridor floor beneath my feet lay a large man.

Wheeze-.

Steady breathing. He was asleep.

I had just tripped over this giant’s leg.

I crouched down next to the man. His jet-black hair was sprawled carelessly around him.

He was an incredibly handsome man. Just look at those distinctive, assertive features.

Though he had a large build, his pale complexion made him appear pure and sickly.

The culprit who made me fall.

The name of this fair and elegant-looking handsome man sleeping on the ground was ‘Hei Birang’.

He was the Female Lead’s father.

And he was also my uncle. In other words, my father’s younger brother.

‘I found him, but…’

How do I wake him up?

After pondering for a moment, I quickly raised my hand.

Smack!

‘Nice and firm.’

My tiny palm slapped the man’s cheek with a crisp sound.

“Wake up, wake up, Uncle!”

Wake up, you! This isn’t the time to be sleeping.

Huff.

‘It really hurts!’

It hurts! My hand hurts! My arm hurts too!

Amazingly, this uncle didn’t wake up even after twenty slaps!

“Ugh.”

I expected this, but…

‘His condition is more serious than I thought?’

My tiny hand, small as a maple leaf, had turned completely red.

‘I forgot. A baby’s body has… weak durability.’

I tried to click my tongue in disapproval, but my underdeveloped tongue couldn’t click properly and only made sucking sounds.

‘Should I treat myself first?’

I opened the water bottle I had brought along and poured water into the cap with a gentle stream.

As soon as I dipped my finger in, the water began to rise.

Whoosh!

As the water enveloped me, the wounds and stinging pain completely disappeared.

‘Good, that’s better.’

My first ability.

I can heal my own body cleanly just by touching water.

Of course, there are conditions.

It has to be very, very clean water.

‘And I can only heal wounds on my own body.’

I can’t heal others. That’s why I became a physician and pharmacist.

This is also related to my second ability.

My lips pouted out as if ready for a kiss.

‘What should I do?’

Actually, it wasn’t that my uncle was sleeping on the ground because lying on the floor was his hobby.

‘This man… are his cheeks made of steel?’

Even if it was just a child hitting him, how could he not wake up after getting beaten like this?

‘Is it because my hands are like cotton fists?’

But I couldn’t back down like this.

I absolutely had to have a conversation with this man today. Since I had opened my eyes in my fourth life, today had to be a different day from my previous lives!

‘This is the last attempt!’

I struggled and climbed up onto my enormous uncle’s chest.

This time I raised my adorably-sized fist and brought it straight down.

‘Wait, hold on. If I hit his philtrum like this, wouldn’t it hurt quite a bit?’

It was the moment I was about to move, thinking I had positioned myself wrong.

Thud.

My wrist was caught just like that.

The eerie ‘crack!’ sound from my chubby wrist was brief.

“Hmm.”

My body floated up gently.

“This is my first assassination attempt like this.”

I’d say it wasn’t exactly a gentle levitation like riding a typical airplane.

Since I was dangling there, held by my clothes.

When I raised my head, I saw a man with half-opened eyes.

Vivid blue pupils.

Golden energy swirled wildly in his irises.

It was a characteristic of the Hei Family men.

“What are you, little one?”

Hei Birang. The original story’s male lead was staring intently at me.
