The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius
Chapter 53
‘We can just sneak out!’
‘Youngest will take full responsibility!’
‘Huh? What are you talking about? Are you crazy? That doesn’t make any sense!’
Little Uncle says he’ll sneak out, and Uncle says Little Uncle will take responsibility…
They declared it boldly and shamelessly. But would that really work?
Besides, it would be troublesome if we got caught breaking the rules.
It might even affect what I’m doing now and cause headaches.
They say if we go outside, we’ll be tracked because of the tracking scent.
It would obviously be problematic if they said the escapees were at the clinic where Hei Biyu works these days.
‘I also want to go out with Uncle Baek and Uncle Poo, but not right now.’
‘Hey! You said you want to go out with us?’
‘Ah, what can we do~ When Princess is begging us so earnestly to go outside together…’
…Why are these people like this?
I was about to scrunch up my face without restraint at their behavior of twisting my words more than usual.
‘Little One. I couldn’t lift the outing restriction, but I solved the tracking scent issue. So there’s no problem, right?’
‘Huh?’
I don’t know what happened, but the two of them said they’re no longer affected by the tracking scent.
So no one would know if they snuck out.
I don’t know what the story behind it was, but it seemed related to them being absent for several days and going to the Main Hall.
Even when I looked at Brother Gyewon, he shook his head with a stoic expression as if he didn’t know either.
Still, after hesitating, I asked only Little Uncle, whose ability would be useful, to come along…
What that damn Uncle did was quite a sight.
‘Why are you leaving Uncle out! Leaving me out! I’m going to lie down and cry~!’
‘Alright, so get up! Aren’t you embarrassed in front of the kids?!’
‘No!’
‘…I’m embarrassed, Father.’
Anyway, it means Uncle and Uncle Baek also ended up joining the outing.
I heard later that they resolved it by having a good ‘talk’ with the tracking scent administrator.
‘…Is it really true that you solved it through ‘talking’?’
Perhaps it was because I was overthinking too much. That day, Dad whispered to me.
It seemed like he was considering my thoughts.
‘You seem to have a plan, so I’ll leave it be. If it looks like you’ll get caught, I’ll handle it. As long as it’s not visible, it’s fine, right?’
‘…Why does that handling sound like erasing them from the world?’
‘Hmm? If necessary, I’ll do just that.’
‘No, no no no!’
Anyway, it worked out well.
‘Because it was successful.’
Jeok Yunha was certainly a capable person, but her trading company wasn’t complete yet.
Among the people under her, there wasn’t anyone with martial power great enough to overwhelm Shinion’s Envoy.
‘If they can come out anyway, I should make use of them.’
Isn’t this why I persuaded Dad, Uncle, and Uncle in the first place?
So I did my part. Uncle and Uncle ended up carrying out diversionary tactics with Jeok Yunha.
I thought they would be capable, but… they were much more capable.
On the first day, they naturally caught and dealt with the infiltrator.
They joined hands with Kanin and systematically caught a large number of those who were trying to mix low-grade herbs.
‘Haha, this is way too easy compared to what we used to do.’
‘Hey, this is boring. Isn’t there more? Something we can beat down?’
Except for the fact that they were bored because they were too capable.
This was like using former National Intelligence Service agents to catch neighborhood thugs.
Thanks to that, everything was sorted out in an instant. If I had been alone, it would have taken at least a month.
‘What kind of work did these people do when they were healthy?’
I can roughly guess about Dad. I should ask properly later.
“These two are finished like this.”
That ends today too.
Finally, once we get the decisive evidence, everything after that would be burned down with Jeok Yunha’s ability.
It was content planned in advance.
The big fire would be used to erase Uncle’s lightning strike traces.
In addition to this, the processing factory that illegally made fake medicine or mixed low-grade herbs, places that prepared extensively to spread infectious diseases, etc.
These places would also be struck by lightning and burn.
‘Since there are few Lightning Mages in this area. It’s right to avoid Uncle being identified.’
With this opportunity, Jeok Yunha would spread her wings and soar. She would grow faster than in the 3rd round.
‘I’ll get medicinal materials for free for life. Hehe…’
Sister, you abandoned me in the 3rd round. In this life, I’ll suck you dry to the bone…!
In the midst of playful thoughts, a voice pierced my ears.
“You look happy.”
“Huh?”
Dad was resting his chin on his hand, observing me.
“Well, I don’t know… everything worked out well.”
Actually, aside from gains and whatnot. The fact that Uncle Undeok and Jeok Yunha wouldn’t suffer in this life was what gave me the most peace of mind.
‘Even if I give all my luck, Bima, be happy.’
Because I really wanted to be on the same side.
As I entered my final limb, I had wondered what it would have been like if I had become allies with those people.
“But what should we do about Dad being the only one who can’t run wild like Uncle Poo and Uncle Baek? It’s boring.”
“…I’m not some crazy colt, so I won’t do that.”
Dad, who had turned his brothers into crazy colts, patted my head gently.
“I had obsessive thoughts that I should never leave my home and that tree… But since you’re here, it’s fine.”
This was an important clue. Dad’s home and the tree where I first met Dad—what meaning did they hold for Dad in the past?
“This place has been educational in many ways.”
“Educational?”
Dad looked toward the door. It was break time, and I had sent Brother Gyewon and Tak Minjae out to rest.
It was a time when Raon, who had been running around everywhere, and Bam-bam, who had been working hard wrapped around my wrist, were both asleep.
Dad spoke quietly.
“Many parents brought their children.”
Children require different treatment methods and medicine than adults.
“They cherished them in their own ways.”
There aren’t many physicians who know how to treat children because there are so many things to be careful about.
Or there are physicians and pharmacists who refuse to treat children.
“I’m saying I learned a lot. I’ll try to put it to use.”
“Mmhm.”
I wasn’t sure what he had learned, but I nodded anyway. It would be good if something came back to him from this.
“Dad, by any chance…”
I asked carefully.
“Don’t you remember anything about Mother?”
His face, which had been softer than usual, instantly darkened.
“I don’t remember.”
I immediately realized I had made a mistake.
“…”
“I don’t even know if I was married.”
‘Arin.’
I recalled Dad’s face, which used to smile brightly unlike now.
It was time to change the subject.
“Dad…”
“By the way, you looked happy.”
“Huh?”
“Is making medicine and treating people that enjoyable?”
Me? Did I?
I’m grateful he changed the topic first, but the subject is out of nowhere.
“Enjoyable, well…”
I’m not sure. Originally, I honed my knowledge and abilities to survive in a family of Physicians and Pharmacists.
Starting with survival like that, in the 3rd round it became a means to go home.
“Mm.”
Still…
“I like it.”
I liked seeing people who looked at me and were genuinely happy. There weren’t many in my previous life though.
“They look at me and like me. I like that.”
I spoke casually while recalling memories of the past.
“They don’t curse at me. They don’t hate me. They don’t hit me.”
Dad somehow has an uncomfortable expression.
That’s when it happened. A strong wind blew so hard that my bangs lifted up.
I blinked because it was so sudden.
“Bring a brush and paper.”
“Huh?”
A large brush was placed in my hand.
It’s too big. This is an adult-sized brush!
“Write them down in order. People who cursed. People who hated. And lastly… people who hit you. By the way, make sure to write the last one.”
I was bewildered. What kind of situation is this right now?
“It’s natural to dream of revenge. It’s your right.”
Suddenly? Of course that’s right. I didn’t let the Black Guard who tormented me in the 3rd round get away with it.
“This will be my first proper act as a father.”
I tilted my head, then burst into giggles.
“Then you weren’t being a dad before?”
