The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 37

I looked around and waved my hand swiftly.

‘Fractures, bruises, minor organ ruptures, internal bleeding…’

This place had all sorts of ingredients, befitting the eccentric Herb Merchant’s shop.

‘As I expected, there are more than enough ingredients – it’s quite a sight.’

Since it’s a shop run as a hobby, I suppose they have things that other places don’t usually handle.

I can completely heal any injury or illness I’ve treated once through medicine.

The water moved on its own with a whoosh. Though it was actually me distinguishing and gathering the ingredients.

Moving like multiple hands and feet before seeping into the water.

I calmly watched as blue and golden light bloomed from the water.

Though it didn’t seem that way to others.

“Eat it.”

“Pardon?”

“Quickly.”

The finally completed pills, tablets, and potions were placed on the floor.

“You know medicine well.”

I gazed at him with clear eyes.

“Mister… you’re a ginseng digger.”

The middle-aged man’s eyes widened greatly.

“How did you know that…”

“Just eat and drink quickly. It hurts, doesn’t it.”

At my calm words, the man hesitated while looking bewildered.

“Should I help you drink it?”

When Dad, who had been standing quietly, stepped forward to help, the man hurriedly took the medicine.

Why is Dad acting like a thug? Though it was helpful…

“Water is here.”

I held out my water bottle. The pills were a bit bitter, so he’d need water.

Finally, the man swallowed and drank all the medicine. Even though it wouldn’t taste sweet, he took it well.

Well, he’s someone who’s lived his whole life surrounded by bitter roots.

Soon after, the scratches and scabs on the man’s cheek smoothly disappeared.

This is where the medicine of ordinary pharmacists and physicians differs from that of us Hei Family ability users.

There’s a reason people seek us out.

“I didn’t make the fractures heal all at once on purpose.”

My treatment medicine isn’t a cure-all.

For injuries like fractures that require natural healing power, it’s better for health to treat them slowly.

“Th… Thank you…!!”

The middle-aged man knelt down and bowed his head deeply.

“I’m sorry for doubting you, it was just so hard to believe… You must be someone of noble birth. Really, truly thank you.”

This man’s name is Tak Undeok.

A second-generation immigrant who came here with his family from the Eastern Continent to make money, and a fairly decent herb gatherer.

And in the future… he will become the most famous herb gatherer in the Empire.

‘People tend to look down on herb gatherers.’

However, for physicians and pharmacists like me, they were extremely important existences along with herb merchants.

Especially this person had a weak but natural element ability to manipulate plants.

But at some point, this ability would explosively increase, and later he would boast tremendous medicinal herb gathering skills.

‘And he wouldn’t deal with just anyone… Uncle’s goods were monopolized by one trading company.’

I looked at the man’s, no, Uncle Undeok’s beard with complicated eyes.

He was someone who always treated me warmly when I struggled and stayed in this market.

But in the end, we could never become close.

At that time, Uncle was obsessed with mountains and forests, and medicinal herbs. I knew the reason.

“I, I really thank you. And truly… I know this is shameless of me…”

“…”

Uncle Undeok banged his head on the ground.

He seemed to have misjudged his strength. Even though it must have hurt, he earnestly pleaded.

“If you are a physician, could you help me? Please, please help my son…!”

That son is also the background behind this uncle becoming the greatest herb gatherer.

Uncle lost his beloved only son around the time his abilities explosively increased.

He scraped together money bit by bit to treat his son who suffered from a chronic illness and went to the Hei Family, but the Hei Family Estate wouldn’t accept them.

‘And then he died.’

This incident made Uncle come to hate the Hei Family.

‘…Baby, I don’t hate you, but I can’t like you either.’

After that, the Hei Family found it difficult to obtain not only the supreme grade medicinal materials that Uncle Undeok brought,

but even the high grade medicinal materials that the Herb Gatherers’ Guild under Uncle gathered.

The family, which was already struggling, declined significantly.

You might say how could a family decline just because one herb gatherer turned against them.

But Uncle Undeok’s influence was that great, and behind Uncle was the trading company he exclusively dealt with.

A great trading company that ranked among the Empire’s top 3 trading companies.

‘This time I came to help.’

If his son doesn’t die, Uncle can live a bit more happily.

And I can also join hands with the person who will become the Empire’s greatest herb gatherer and the future great trading company head.

“If you save him, I’ll do anything, anything. I don’t have much money yet, but…”

“Good.”

“Still, anything! Yes?”

“I said it was fine. Isn’t the child here?”

Uncle Undeok seemed so frantic that he didn’t even notice the change in my speech pattern.

I hmm, pondered.

“Treatment needs to be done where there are many medicinal materials. This place seems good…”

Anyway, my treatment method involves making healing medicine. I absolutely needed medicinal materials.

“Ah, if that’s the case…!”

Uncle Undeok reached his hand toward me. However, before his hand could even reach me, my body was lifted up smoothly.

“This doesn’t seem like an appropriate place.”

It was wind. I saw Dad approaching while I was floating in the air. It was my turn to be bewildered.

“Those guys from earlier might come back anytime. Plus, people seem to be gathering outside. Is this really okay?”

“Of course… it’s not okay!”

Uncle Undeok stares at me with a tearful expression.

Oh my, Uncle, I’m not saying I won’t help you.

‘If we move from here, there’s no suitable place…’

“What’s this, who’s acting like the homeowner here?”

Just then, an unfamiliar voice suddenly interrupted.

A woman’s voice, one that should be called familiar to my ears.

“What kind of situation is this.”

When I turned my head, I saw a woman with red hair. She was the person who had collapsed on the ground in front of the shop earlier.

I firmly suppressed my joy.

She was also an acquaintance, after all.

‘Though this is the first time in this life?’

The woman had a style where her hair artfully covered one eye.

She was smiling fiercely while looking at us.

Her breathing was rough, as if she had been running.

“I’m Jeok Yunha, the owner of this place. Who might you be?”

The woman rushed over in one stride and blocked Uncle Undeok’s path.

“How dare you make our Uncle Undeok cry?”

“Yu, Yunha!”

“If someone went through the trouble of luring you out by rolling on the ground, you should have quietly followed. Why are you taking a powerless person hostage and causing trouble! Damn it, I told you I’m not a thief!”

“No, oh my! Yunha, wait, just wait a moment!”

“Uncle, you’re fine, so stay in a safe place.”

Oh, that person. She still doesn’t listen well to others when she’s angry.

Jeok Yunha.

She was someone I met in the third round. The owner of the trading company I had dealings with.

Her personality was as fiery and hot-tempered as her red hair.

Dad’s wind power seemed to have helped properly. Seeing how she appeared in fairly good condition.

‘More importantly, is she so exhausted from running away that she can’t see Uncle Undeok’s facial wounds have completely disappeared?’

At that moment, my eyes met with Jeok Yunha’s.

The woman widened her eyes as if she was just now noticing me.

Soon his face contorts grimly.

“…Ha, taking even a child hostage?”

“Oh my, Lady Yunha!!”

“So handsome but with such rotten character!”

I was about twelve years old when I met her.

Even then she had a hot-tempered side, but she said with her own mouth that she was worse when she was younger.

‘Haha, when I was young I was quite single-minded and hot-headed! When my eyes rolled back in anger, I couldn’t see anything! Ahaha.’

‘She said when excited, she couldn’t see what was in front of her.’

I think I also heard that’s why all the businesses she started in her youth failed one after another.

“Come at me, you trash who uses even children!”

…I can see why they failed.
