The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 49

“Thank you for saving me, Physician.”

It was fortunate that the protagonist who had become the topic of conversation, Tak Minjae, opened his mouth. I was afraid of what nonsense might have come out otherwise.

Tak Minjae was a boy with a voice that was clear like a child’s, yet soft and mature.

“Actually, I thought I would die helplessly like this… No, I’m sorry to Father, but if I hadn’t met you, Physician, that surely would have happened.”

“Minjae!”

Regardless of his father’s voice, Tak Minjae spoke clearly.

“Since this is a life you saved, Physician, I want to repay this debt over my entire lifetime. No, please accept my life.”

I opened my eyes wide. What is he talking about? No, more than that.

‘I don’t need it…’

Now that you’re healthy, just live doing what you want to do. Why would you follow me around?

Other physicians said they’ve experienced patients like this. Since this was my first time, I was troubled.

“…The debt will be repaid by Jeok Yunha over there. Uncle Undeok too.”

“Yes! Of course, Physician. If there’s anything this herb gatherer can do for you, I’ll do anything. Thank you…!”

“Haha, I already offered a blank check.”

But even so, the child stubbornly insisted.

Should I say he’s soft like a reed, but shows an integrity that will never break?

Tak Minjae made a dejected face.

“Or perhaps you think I’m useless because I’m young?”

“Minjae… Don’t trouble the Physician.”

They say you can’t curse at a smiling face. Since he was looking at me so prettily, it was hard to be firm.

‘He’ll probably give up after a while.’

Should I just play along briefly and move on?

“…Biyu, is that type really your preference?”

…What did he eat wrong? Why has Brother been acting like this since earlier?

“Could I prove my usefulness perhaps?”

“Huh?”

Seeing Uncle Undeok’s expression change… it seemed the boy had something.

“I already got Father’s permission. Miss Yunha’s too.”

Since Uncle was at a loss but nodded his head.

Jeok Yunha also had a troubled expression, but didn’t try to stop him.

Before I could say anything, Dad poked me.

“That kid has the same department as me.”

“Huh?”

The next moment I understood immediately.

Rustle.

A gentle, warm wind tickled my cheek.

Before my eyes, something translucent but cat-like with a long tail was floating softly.

‘Ah, I know what this is… it’s a Snow Leopard. But this is a Divine Beast, right?’

That wasn’t all.

Next to the Snow Leopard, the wind revealed its color, becoming a pale green butterfly that fluttered around me.

“Woah…!”

It was amazing.

I prided myself on having traveled quite a bit during my third life, but I could count the Wind Ability users I’d seen on one hand.

Besides, all the skilled ones were in the Imperial Palace.

“Kek!”

Raon popped out of the bag and chased the butterfly here and there.

Uncle Undeok cleared his throat and explained.

“…Ahem, my son has been awakened since he was very young and showed exceptional talent.”

Yes, he certainly looks extraordinary.

I tugged at Dad’s sleeve in admiration.

“Dad, how strong is that level of ability?”

Dad held me while leaning lazily against the sofa, slowly narrowing his eyes.

“Enough to quietly eliminate a person?”

…Why is that your example? Is that something to say in front of your Physician daughter?!

“He knows how to erase the sound of wind. That alone is a great talent.”

“Mmm…”

Dad’s words weren’t finished. His serious voice was heavier than usual.

“If this talent has ever been discovered in his life, greedy people would have swarmed him.”

Uncle Undeok’s expression changes moment by moment. This is an affirmative silence to Dad’s words.

“The world is crawling with people who destroy what they can’t have. Probably?”

I felt strange.

‘Your First Aunt tried to kill your Father several times.’

‘Is this experience based on remaining memories, or is it speculation?’

Uncle Undeok grabbed his son’s hand.

“…Yes, that’s correct.”

Uncle’s story went like this.

He had hidden it well for a very long time after awakening.

But being discovered was triggered by a very trivial incident.

“About a year ago, while going around trying to treat Minjae’s chronic illness, his ability was accidentally discovered.”

A powerful and rare ability in a child with mobility issues.

Moreover, from the Eastern Region – too perfect a case to be exploited.

“I thought nothing good would come from it being known. Certainly… I even gave the Physician who discovered it a huge sum of money to keep it secret.”

Uncle Undeok and Jeok Yunha shared a glance with each other.

“Physician, you told me to find the culprit and reason for poisoning my son.”

That’s right.

“…Not long after silencing the physician, I received a proposal from the Imperial Palace asking for my son to join the Reserve Special Forces, and I refused.”

I opened my eyes wide. The Imperial Palace?

‘If it’s the Special Forces…’

It’s a powerful military group that the Imperial Palace creates by gathering only sorcerers.

It was also the pillar of imperial power, their greatest weapon.

“I only found out later that it was a Special Forces proposal.”

An Eastern Region person had refused their proposal.

From the perspective of those with such high pride, it was certainly enough to earn their resentment.

‘But to say Special Forces people poisoned him because of that, there’s insufficient evidence.’

They’re prideful, but considering the rarity and strength of Tak Minjae’s abilities, rather than poisoning him…

Jeok Yunha nodded.

“Their recent activities have been even worse. They deliberately create epidemics… They distribute strange medicines while spreading rumors that the Hei Family gave them out for free.”

Ah, no way.

I recalled the previous cycle.

There was a time when the guys who used to torment me in childhood suddenly became incredibly busy and disappeared like a receding tide.

‘They said they were busy throwing away fake medicines and making replacements.’

So this was what that was about.

“That’s not all. They’re also shamelessly mixing fake medicinal herbs and inferior products among the medicinal materials to undermine trust in the entire market.”

I know the Sinion Family well.

They’re one of the Eight Families closest to the Hei Family Territory.

That’s why they’ve always been grinding their teeth, losing patients and resources to the Hei Family Territory every time.

‘They’re the first ones to get crushed by the original Female Lead.’

After hearing all this story, my judgment is.

‘Tak Minjae was actually in a state where he would have died young eventually, even without poison.’

His chronic illness and complications were that severe.

But the reason he died quickly…

It was a collaboration between that Sinion Family and that guy Kanin, right?

Because of this, the Hei Family harbored resentment.

As a result, they became my enemies too.
