The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 58

Peiman prided himself on having seen many physicians in his long life. Among them were ability users whose skills he could never hope to reach.

Natural healing ability users who created medicine?

He had experienced them.

However, even among those… there was no one who could create medicine this quickly and in such large quantities.

‘Even the one famous for speed took at least two days to make medicine for a single treatment!’

That young baby’s ability instinctively inspired fear in him as a fellow physician.

A genius beyond all standards.

No, could there even be anyone to compare her to?

Before he knew it, his hands were trembling.

Fear overwhelmed him at the thought that he would lose everything because of someone like this.

The fact that this was becoming reality made Peiman want to run away.

Finally, the wave-like water stream completely receded, and medicine arrived before the three patients.

“I just need to treat you, so I won’t say anything else. Uncles, your skin is really itchy, right? Your throat must be swollen too.”

“Uh, um… yes, no, yes…!”

Hei Biyu smiled brightly.

The patients, who had been full of wariness, melted at her fairy-like pure smile.

Without much hesitation, they drank the medicine Hei Biyu handed them.

Shortly after drinking the medicine, the red spots disappeared from the patients’ bodies.

Kanin had deliberately chosen patients whose symptoms were clearly visible from the outside.

He had said that such people would make their deaths look more dramatic.

And at this moment, this became the worst choice possible.

“My, my goodness…”

“The boils are gone! The spots too!”

“It’s a miracle!”

“It’s a miracle!! The Genius Physician was right!”

“Waaaah!”

Cheers erupted from among the people.

There was no one who didn’t marvel at the sight of the illness being completely cured.

“Hooray!”

“Hooray! Please stay here with us for a long, long time, Physician!”

“I believed in you all along!!”

Amid the cheers and admiration pouring from all directions, Peiman could do nothing.

‘What do I do? What do I do?’

Had his back ever been this drenched in sweat before?

Even when treating noble aristocrats, or even when getting my license, I had never trembled like this.

Next was his turn.

The remaining two patients looked at Peiman with expectant eyes.

Their eyes were full of expectation that they too would be healed like the previous patients.

Peiman wanted to strangle himself for accepting this confrontation.

‘Damn it… Damn it!!’

I should have noticed from the beginning. That this was an impossible bet!

‘What should I do? Can’t I run away?’

Peiman finally realized that he was the one who had been blind, but it was already too late.

“Treatment’s all done. When are you going to do yours?”

The child spun around. Small body. Hair braided up cutely. Excluding her appearance, she looked like an ordinary, petite child.

Peiman became afraid of the baby who wouldn’t even reach his knees, like encountering a wild beast in the mountain forest.

Ability with no known limits.

Medicines that he couldn’t even guess at…

How did she come to possess such ability?

His teeth chattered together.

“Something’s strange here?”

The child’s voice was clearly heard amidst the applause.

“The patients…”

At that moment, Peiman realized.

That the abyss had already approached before his eyes, no, that he had already fallen.

“Why did you make them drink poison?”

It was too late a realization.

* * *

‘Geez, crazy bastards.’

I clicked my tongue inwardly.

Since they were clearly patients that guy brought, I had thought there would be some scheme.

‘Like the patients being in cahoots with him.’

However, what I discovered was the worst option among what I had thought.

‘Bastards who use innocent patients for their own benefit.’

It would have been better if he was in league with the patients.

I had a bitter taste in my mouth.

What Peiman had done was what I hated most.

Using patients as tools to establish a physician’s pride, superiority, and power.

Wasn’t this tantamount to saying he had no pride at all?

Because the essence of us physicians and pharmacists is to treat people.

As proof, even while prioritizing survival in all my lives, I had never once used a patient for my own pride.

But.

‘I’m angry.’

I clenched my fist tightly. Even if I hit him with this fist, it probably wouldn’t hurt. Damn bastard.

How could he use such a vicious poison?

“…Are you okay?”

I glanced up slightly. It was Dad.

“Your face doesn’t look good. Is it because you used your ability?”

I smiled slightly.

“No way. How much could I have used….”

I briefly treated a patient this morning, and now I’ve only treated three people.

“I’ve even treated an entire village before….”

I once treated an epidemic that spread through a village for a month.

It was something I did prepared to die.

Since it was a place where poor people lived together, it was also a village that all physicians avoided.

Why did I go to such a place….

Back then, I wanted to prove something.

That I wasn’t as wicked or a witch as the rumors said.

And once I got there, I forgot even these thoughts and focused on treatment.

It was during my prime, but I’ve treated villages with over 100 households, so this much is nothing.

‘The problem is having a young body.’

Even though I said I was fine, Dad’s gaze wouldn’t leave me for a while. As if a physician was making a diagnosis.

‘Did he not hear my muttering?’

Dad’s gaze was so persistent that I scratched my cheek feeling oddly ticklish.

“As long as you’re not in pain, that’s fine.”

“Yeah, not at all. If I got tired from this much, I’d have to give up my medical license.”

“You don’t even have a license though?”

At his playful words, I also held my head up proudly.

“Tell the Imperial Palace to bring me a Supreme Physician License.”

Because in this life too, that will be mine.

Dad couldn’t hold back and chuckled.

“How dignified.”

“Of course.”

I don’t have state certification yet, but? I also smiled smugly.

The people were still cheering.

So what I said a little while ago.

‘Why did you eat poison?’

It seemed like they didn’t hear this.

‘What should I do….’

Of course, that physician bastard who was nearby seemed to have heard it well. His pale face was quite a sight to see.

The cheers were gradually dying down. Dad approached me as I was still hesitating.

“Physician.”

…I blinked at the unfamiliar title. Huh? What did he say?

Since this nobleman who already stood out with his appearance was deliberately raising his voice, all eyes couldn’t help but turn to us.

Father, who had somehow reclaimed the spotlight on stage, looked at me and lifted the corners of his lips.

My eyes widened.

‘…You can smile like that too?’

He was definitely smiling on purpose. But…

‘He looks happy.’

It resembled the face from the past I had seen in Dad’s memories, so I couldn’t look away.

Dad looked around at the crowd, then finally turned toward Peiman, who was trembling.

Dad’s eyes narrowed. A chill settled in them.

“Did you say the patient had consumed poison?”

The crowd stirred at Dad’s single statement.

“I clearly heard it said so.”

Strangely, though his voice wasn’t loud, it was large enough for everyone to hear, as if he were using a megaphone.

‘Could this also be wind ability?’

As if giving me the answer, I felt a gentle breeze.

Wow, that’s totally convenient. It’s basically a microphone.

The surroundings instantly became quiet.

Dad spoke to me as if he had been waiting for this moment.

“Is that true?”

Ah, shall we deliver the finishing blow? I gladly accepted Dad’s help.

“Yeah, the patients consumed poison.”

I looked at both the treated patient and the patients that Peiman had not yet treated.

“And quite recently too.”

“…”

“If it weren’t for me, they would have died.”

People wore expressions of disbelief.

They couldn’t believe it.

“…What? What did she say? Poison?”

“This is crazy, is that really true…?”

Though I answered calmly, it was unexpected support, so I felt a bit dazed.

‘…Our father really delivers.’

He seemed to be gradually recalling memories, and seeing Father actively taking action like this was, how should I put it.

Somehow my heart felt all fluttery…

‘It feels like flowers are blooming in my chest.’

Even Peiman’s disciples were shaken by Dad’s words.

One of them looked at their master with confusion. It seemed like they were hearing this for the first time.

There were three disciples of Peiman who brought the patient.

‘Huh?’

I didn’t miss how one of their faces turned yellow.
