The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 39

Jeok Yunha claps her hands.

“How interesting, you really have to live in this world to understand it. Isn’t that right, Hei Bihu?”

Dad didn’t answer with his arms crossed.

Even when she was excited earlier, she seemed to know Dad, right?

“I was so surprised when you, famous for being missing, suddenly appeared in my shop.”

“….”

“I thought you were going to kill someone. I thought you were going to use your old skills on us, the ones who used to handle all the dirty work for the family.”

She looked as if it didn’t matter whether Dad answered or not.

“Are you planning to brush it off with irrational impulses as an excuse?”

“Ah, I’m not trying to brush it off.”

Jeok Yunha shrugged her shoulders. Then she stood up and bowed her head politely.

“I’m really sorry. Sometimes my head just goes haywire. I’m sorry for being suspicious. I’m truly grateful for the kindness that Physician showed us.”

“….”

“Uncle Undeok is like family to me.”

“Whether to accept the apology or not will be decided by our party leader.”

“Leader?”

Jeok Yunha tilted her head. Dad gestured toward me with his eyes.

“What are you doing? Decide, leader.”

Jeok Yunha and Uncle Undeok’s gazes focused on me.

I blinked my eyes.

‘Good, Dad is my subordinate now. You know that, right?’

No way….

‘Who’s family that needs to be taken care of as Family Head and who’s a subordinate?’

Wow, what a grudge! Such a grudge!

Dad crossed his arms regardless and declared.

“I will follow the leader’s command.”

What a grudge!

Jeok Yunha smiled brightly. She looked excited.

“Oh my, who are you to be using that Hei Bihu as a subordinate?”

…This person too, really. She heard me introduce myself as his daughter!

She was still full of mischief. So this is how she’s going to play it.

I let out a deep sigh and raised my head.

“I’m Heuk Piyu.”

“Piyu.”

“Dad, be quiet.”

I glared at Dad and continued speaking.

“You already know this, but our Dad is Heuk Pihu.”

“It’s Heuk Pihu.”

This man, really!

“…Ha. I get that you’re sorry to us, and I get that you’re grateful. You’re not planning to end this with just words, are you?”

“Oh my…. Such a cute way of speaking, yet such mature content. It’s like talking to an adult? How refreshing.”

“That Uncle over there asked us to treat his son.”

The smile slightly disappeared from Jeok Yunha’s face.

“…Uncle Undeok did?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

When Jeok Yunha looked over, Uncle Undeok nodded his head.

“I said I would do anything if you could just treat him, Lady Yunha.”

“….”

A pitiful expression crossed Jeok Yunha’s face.

“I understand. Then I should introduce myself again. I’m the trading company head who runs ‘Baekryong Trading Company,’ Jeok Yunha. It’s a small trading company.”

Well, even at this point in time, Baekryong Trading Company wasn’t just a corner shop.

It was quite sizeable and had a certain degree of influence in this large market.

Considering the size of the market, that’s impressive. Moreover, most of the trading company members are Eastern People.

‘It’s amazing that they overcame the Western Continent people’s territorial behavior to rise up.’

In the future, it would become a trading company that commands the entire Empire.

“I’m not planning to keep quiet for free. Uncle’s son is also my younger brother, after all.”

“….”

“If you treat him, I’ll also do anything for you, no, I will do it.”

Jeok Yunha’s serious eyes turned toward me.

“Please, Miss Piyu.”

“…It’s Piyu.”

“…Right, Piyu?”

“Heuk, pi, pi, pi, pi!”

Jeok Yunha, who had been blinking for a moment, burst into hearty laughter.

I fumed until my cheeks turned red.

Dad, who had been watching me quietly, lowered his head and whispered comfort.

“Having trouble with pronunciation isn’t something to be ashamed of.”

“…Be quiet, Dad.”

After the story ended, it wasn’t long before Uncle Undeok came back with a boy.

‘He said it was his son, so I thought of a bigger kid…’

Maybe about four years older than me? Around the same age as Hei Gyewon.

He limped, but he was handsome.

He was a mature-looking boy who smiled brightly while looking at Uncle Undeok.

“This is a child my late wife bore in her old age. That’s why he was even more precious…”

Just from that one sentence, I could tell how much he cherished his son.

To lose such a child without even being able to treat him…

‘He said he visited all the local physicians and pharmacists he could find in the 3rd district.’

When treatment still didn’t work, he said he went to the Hei Family, one of the most renowned in the Empire. Though my family coldly refused him.

Pale green eyes. The child was gaunt but was a beautiful boy with striking droopy eyes.

“…Tak, Minjae, cough!”

The staggering child politely bowed in greeting.

To Dad, not me.

“The physician is over here.”

Dad lightly pushed my back. Tak Minjae’s eyes widened.

‘He looks even more handsome up close.’

I too was seeing him for the first time, having only heard stories from Uncle Undeok repeatedly.

“…I, I greet the physician…?”

“That’s enough.”

I stopped the coughing child from saying more.

The outing time for restricted area personnel is limited. Since we don’t have much time, I need to start quickly.

This place was a warehouse full of clean water that Jeok Yunha had obtained, and all kinds of precious medicinal materials.

“I’m going to examine you, so don’t be surprised.”

Jeok Yunha and Uncle Undeok were waiting at a distance.

“Why isn’t Dad moving away?”

“Because I’m a warrior.”

Dad tapped my head lightly.

“I have to protect the physician.”

I touched the spot where his hand had been for no reason.

“Protecting the leader is also a subordinate’s duty.”

“Ugh, such cheesy lines.”

“What?”

How nice it would be if he just stopped at the first part.

I pouted and plunged my hands into the basin filled with clean water.

“Shall we start?”

The child who met my eyes flinched, then quickly nodded.

“Ah… yes! You, you look like a fairy, so I keep staring, sorry!”

“What nonsense.”

Dad covered my eyes.

Why are you doing this? I struggled and pushed Dad’s hand away.

‘Does he think I don’t have eyes?’

I know I’m pretty. I’ve suffered many times from attracting unnecessary attention.

I don’t get swayed by such light compliments.

Besides, what’s the big deal about a child’s words? That kid just complimented me with the same eyes Hei Gyewon looks at me with.

What are you even talking about?

Water surged up with a whoosh. Tak Minjae’s body was enclosed in a large Water Sphere.

As I scanned through the diagnostic information flowing into my mind…

I jerked my head up in shock.

‘What is this? Asthma, pneumothorax, and even paralysis of all four limbs?’

I glanced at Uncle Undeok. Seeing his anxious expression, I pressed my lips tightly together.

Moreover, these weren’t the only symptoms.

‘These are traces of poisoning…’

And it had been administered persistently and continuously.

To the point where there was no more room for poison to accumulate in the frail child’s body.

‘If left alone, it wouldn’t be strange if he died tomorrow?’

Had Uncle Undeok earned someone’s resentment?

After pondering deeply, I waved my hand. Water streams sprang forth and moved around various medicinal materials.

Some floated up, while others were set back down.

‘Pre-existing chronic conditions, complications, and even poison…’

This was quite tricky.

Of course, it couldn’t compare to Uncle and Little Uncle’s cases.

‘Come to think of it, this is the first person I’m treating outside the Hei Family Estate in this life.’

The child looked at me with slightly anxious eyes.

I smiled gently and warmly to reassure the child floating in the water.

“Don’t wolly.”

“…”

“When you open your eyes again, you’ll be healthy.”

Tak Minjae’s expression became dazed. The tearful child spoke as if making a big decision.

“Yes… Fairy!”

…Huh?
