The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 30

“Don’t underestimate your younger brother too much.”

Hei Biwon didn’t stop there and smiled while spinning around, gesturing toward one spot.

“If I had put in effort, sister’s son would be dead.”

“….”

“What about that Bihu over there? He probably doesn’t even remember, but it would be easier to kill annoying kids like that, wouldn’t it?”

While people’s gazes were focused on Uncle and First Aunt, I secretly opened my bag and took something out.

‘This isn’t what I made it for though.’

It was a round pill.

I looked at Uncle while hiding this in my hand.

“The intruder is over there. Hei Daeui has been tormenting my son and tormenting my niece.”

“…Is there evidence?”

“Why wouldn’t there be? Whether it’s the entry log, traces from the dog hole, or even just searching the attendant’s eyes, it would come out.”

“That’s not true, this is unfair!”

Evidence, would there really be any?

In the first place, that Hei Daeui came to eliminate me and Hei Gyewon, so he probably erased the entry records before coming.

“Dad, if it becomes a battle of evidence….”

“There won’t be anything to worry about.”

When Dad raised his hand, wind blew. A small whirlwind visible to the eye could be seen.

The next moment, surprisingly, a voice began flowing from the void.

It was a familiar voice.

【You have a duty to protect me. You need to eliminate those bastards to protect me.】

Because it was Hei Daeui’s voice.

Murmurs erupted among the spectators who had been quietly watching.

Hei Daeui’s eyes widened as if they would tear.

But this wasn’t the end.

【Hey, what should we do? This time will be different, you damn brat.】

【You, don’t you know the family rule that warriors can’t attack physicians and pharmacists?】

【So what? It’s fine if no one knows.】

My voice is coming out too? What is this?

When did he create something like this?

“It’s stored in the wind.”

“….”

He pretended to explain to me, but his voice would have been clearly audible to First Aunt over there as well.

To the spectators too.

“This ability of wind magic users is well-known enough to be used in the Imperial Palace, so it should be sufficient evidence of its effectiveness.”

Indeed, wind magic users were considered precious talents even in the Imperial Palace and served roles similar to police.

‘Or even assassination….’

I swallowed my breath. I felt good. My goodness, things were turning out this way?

I should deliver the finishing blow.

I knew First Aunt over there better than anyone.

That person was….

‘The type who cares terribly about appearances.’

I secretly put what I had been clutching in my fist into my mouth and swallowed it.

Then I made eye contact with Dad who was watching me. I smiled brightly and whispered.

“Don’t be too surprised. I’m fine.”

“…What?”

I couldn’t answer. My stomach was churning.

‘Ugh, it’s been a while since I felt this way.’

Soon coughing burst out violently. Of course, all eyes turned to the loud coughing.

I made eye contact with Uncle whose eyes had widened.

‘Ah, I should have told Uncle beforehand too.’

Well, I could explain later.

“Cough, cough cough! Cough!”

“You….”

Dad held me properly.

My stomach was churning. That’s when it happened.

“Cough!”

Drip.

Blood burst from my mouth.

Very black blood.

One of the spectators watching us screamed.

“Blood, blood…!”

All attention focused on us. I barely managed to lift my head to look at Dad, and his eyes were shaking. It was strange.

‘I told him beforehand… why is he this shaken?’

Since he didn’t remember me, even introducing me as his daughter should be no different from a stranger.

Ah, but we had built some affection over the past few days, so maybe he was worried?

Even considering that, his expression was full of shock.

I reached out to tell him I was okay.

‘Agh, I have no strength….’

My vision became a little hazy.

It’s okay. This was intentional.

“Physician! Damn it, physician! There are plenty here! Damn it, someone come running!”

Uncle, who came running in a hurry, shouts. It seemed like someone was rushing toward me.

“Po, poison!”

“Who doesn’t know it’s poison? Why did this suddenly happen! No, never mind that, treat him. Right now! Save him! Or I’ll go crazy and kill every single one of these bastards!”

“Bu, but this poison is…”

I listened to the half-broken sounds reaching me and smiled inwardly.

Black spots would be blooming all over my hands. Like mold.

My fingernails would be turning black from the tips.

Spots would be blooming like flowers on my neck.

A skilled physician here couldn’t possibly not know this poison.

Its nickname is ‘Hakjeonghong’.

This poison was extremely deadly.

Behind the Hei Family’s ability to become a great family was not only excellent healing ability but also top-tier poison crafting skills.

Poison and medicine are one.

‘Moreover, this is a poison developed by a famous person.’

It’s a poison made by First Aunt.

Only she and her direct line know the manufacturing method and treatment.

I mustered all my strength to raise my hand. Then, panting and gasping, I pointed accurately at one person.

“He… fed it to me…”

What will you do, First Aunt?

It’s clear I was poisoned by the poison Aunt made.

‘It’s the sin of raising your son wrong.’

First Aunt trembled violently. How would she interpret this situation?

There’s only one way.

The poison that only Aunt knows the manufacturing method and antidote for.

Her son Hei Daeui also knew it.

“My goodness… poison to a young child…”

“Dear me, is what Hei Biwon said true? That he wasn’t the one who kidnapped him?”

“As far as I know, that child is… already weak in body…”

The murmuring grows louder.

I felt a sense of victory inwardly and slowly closed my eyes.

Worries about what comes next? None at all.

Who am I?

The continent’s greatest genius physician and pharmacist.

And a practitioner who can completely heal at least my own body!

‘If I’m still not healed when I wake up, I can just do it with my ability.’

Either way, that bastard Hei Daeui is.

Screwed.

Who told him to mess with me?

I closed my eyes with satisfaction.

The two people who had been looking at me, Dad and Uncle, without knowing what expressions they were making.

* * *

“Hey, you guys don’t have anything like this at your house, right?”

The past 3rd cycle. It was around the time I was gradually getting used to how this household operated.

Hei Daeui, that pig-resembling Cousin Brother, what kind of grudge did he have anyway?

From around the time I turned six years old, he tormented me quite viciously.

In every cycle, that is.

He would say things like “our Mother really hates you,” but what did it matter what that mama’s boy bastard said?

I let it go in one ear and out the other.

Instead, I recorded bit by bit every cycle. The poison of his Mother that he bragged about every time.

‘I figured out the ingredients. The main ingredient is Crane’s Crest, right?’

Moreover, it was mixed with highly toxic Snake Venom.

I took that poison and practiced with it. Actually, my practice wasn’t anything special.

My poisoned state, and my ability to cleanly treat injuries. Trusting in my ability.

“Ugh! Cough, cough cough! Damn, it hurts… Haa, haa.”

I would recklessly consume it while finding a cure.

Of course, I didn’t die.

And finally, I obtained the unique poison manufacturing method and antidote that only First Aunt knew.

“Ahhh! Uwaaaah! Mother, Mother! Cough, Mother!”

How satisfying it was to see Hei Daeui rolling around after being poisoned by that poison.

I heard he came looking for me as soon as he recovered, but it was already too late.

Because I had already left the Family Estate.

Even though I left with a hardened heart, on one hand, I think I felt a little envious that he had a Mother he could call for when he was in deadly pain.

* * *

‘Ah… It’s a dream from the past.’

I blinked my eyes.

It wasn’t a familiar ceiling. Where is this place now?

‘My body feels light though…’

Looking at my hands, there were no spots. Was I detoxified?

‘Well, if she didn’t detoxify me, her reputation would have been damaged, so she would have done whatever it took.’

Because First Aunt absolutely didn’t want to lose her image as a noble and merciful Physician.

Though she never knew until her death that she didn’t suit mercy at all.

“Yaaawn…”

I was extremely tired. Once my energy returns a bit, maybe I should diagnose my own body.

Who knows. First Aunt seems to have detoxified me, but she might have harbored resentment and left a little poison behind.

‘Is it daytime?’

When I closed my eyes, it was late afternoon.

“About a day or so, I suppose.”

“Five days.”

“Eek!”

I turned my head in surprise. Just when had he been there?

I saw Dad leaning against the wall next to the wide open door.

Why is that man just sitting there without making a sound? My heart was pounding wildly.

“Dad…? Why are you sitting there like that?”

“I’m keeping watch.”
