The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 59

The disciples’ expressions were divided.

‘If I had to guess, not all the disciples were involved with the poison, maybe only one or two cooperated?’

That pale-faced disciple was also in on it.

“How surprising.”

Dad said with a face that looked completely unsurprised. It was like listening to a robot speak.

It seems he’s going to keep up the act…

He might as well smile like he did earlier.

When he smiled earlier, it seemed like everyone regardless of age or gender nearly fainted.

“Right… A physician giving poison to kill a patient, that’s absolutely ridiculous.”

Here I scrunched up my face as if I was truly bewildered and couldn’t forgive such a thing.

This was sincere.

Damn bastards.

You’d use poison on a patient just to interfere with me?

“Physicians take an oath.”

It’s like the ‘Hippocratic Oath’ that all physicians and pharmacists in this world take.

The content isn’t completely identical but it’s similar.

Among it, there’s a passage like this.

[Even if requested, I will not give deadly medicine to anyone, and this shall also apply to pregnant women carrying unborn children.]

If even deadly medicine isn’t allowed, poison medicine is absolutely forbidden.

“A physician who made a sacred oath couldn’t possibly do such a thing. That’s why it’s strange.”

I stared at the two remaining patients.

“It would be strange if the remaining patients also had poison in their bodies, wouldn’t it?”

At these words, the reactions of the five patients were divided.

The remaining patients’ faces turned pale, while the treated patients breathed sighs of relief.

In contrast to this, people’s murmuring began to grow louder.

“…Poison, all the people that Physician Peiman brought?”

“But the miracle physician… has no reason to lie, right?”

This murmuring wouldn’t subside until Peiman’s innocence was proven.

Or unless his guilt was proven.

The two patients who had been expecting Peiman’s treatment were in an uproar.

“P-Physician! Th-then are we going to die?!”

“P-please save us! P-please treat us too!”

Even though the situation had reached this point, Peiman showed no reaction whatsoever.

‘Making plans to survive?’

I glanced at Peiman, who had turned pale and couldn’t say a word, while calming the patient.

“This poison manifests when there’s a catalyst. So you won’t die right away.”

Of course, the toxicity would manifest over time, but right now they probably tried to use a catalyst.

It’s a poison that reacts immediately and reveals its toxicity when you smell a certain fragrance.

“What? I’m an ignorant fool, so I don’t understand well. Please treat me!”

It wasn’t difficult for me to explain medical knowledge in a way that everyone here could easily understand.

“The catalyst here refers to a certain fruit.”

When this fruit is crushed, the smell it produces poses no problem at all for ordinary people.

But a person who has consumed the poison will react to it, vomit blood, and die instantly.

And this poison disappears within 10 minutes after spreading throughout the body.

‘By the time of autopsy, there would be no trace of poison, only illness remaining.’

It’s perfect for framing someone.

That’s why it’s also the poison most feared by noble families with complex succession issues and the Imperial Palace since ancient times.

I learned about this from books too.

‘I know it well because I was once wrongfully accused because of this poison.’

So what did I do then?

I treated the patient before they could die from such a poison.

So even if the poison manifests, it’s my victory.

I turned my gaze to Jeok Yunha, who had been watching until now. I gestured toward the remaining two patients.

“Have another physician examine the remaining two patients. This poison can be detected through testing.”

This poison becomes undetectable once it manifests, but testing is possible before manifestation.

Since it’s such a vicious poison, testing methods have been developed for it. In fact, it should show up easily in tests.

“Test them quickly. The same poison will show up.”

“W-wait a minute!”

Thinking this wouldn’t do, Peiman frantically raised his hand.

“Wait, please wait. This is unfair…!”

“Oh my, how strange!”

Jeok Yunha, who had been listening with great interest, interrupted.

“You see, I actually know an herb merchant named ‘Kanin’ until recently.”

Her eyes gleamed as if focused on something. That sister seems to have her switch flipped again.

“My goodness! I recently went to visit and discovered this…”

Jeok Yunha pulled out a bright red fruit from her bosom, though I wonder how long she’d been carrying it.

It was an unusually shaped fruit with black spots dotting it.

“This is the fruit Physician Biyu mentioned, right?”

“That’s right.”

“How strange. Haven’t Mr. Kanin and Mr. Peiman been close friends recently?”

Wow, even I’m getting chills hearing this.

“Jeok Yunha, how do you have this?”

When I casually asked while pretending not to know, Jeok Yunha held up the fruit.

Smiling with an excited expression.

“Good question! Today there was a fire at that house and I helped put it out, you know? But… guess what I discovered there?”

I wondered where on earth she found the fruit during that busy time and how she managed to get it.

Jeok Yunha winked at me, then mouthed the words silently.

‘Uncle, unc…le…?’

Big Uncle and Little Uncle discovered it and brought it? How did those gentlemen know to bring it?

‘Wow, my lottery winners. No, the Warriors really worked hard, didn’t they?’

I swallowed my laughter and hurriedly hugged Dad’s leg, burying my face. Dad lifted me up as if he’d been waiting for it.

“Daddy, let’s go quickly. Quickly.”

“…Are you going to cry?”

“No, what are you talking about?! I think I’m going to die from laughing…!!”

“…”

I was a little excited.

“In my life, this wasn’t something I solved alone, but there have been almost no moments this satisfying!”

At my small whisper, Dad pressed down on my head firmly with his hand. My face got completely squished.

Ugh, can’t breathe.

“Laugh all you want now and work on your abs.”

Abs? What abs?

A small whisper continued.

“From now on, I’ll make you laugh so much your stomach hurts.”

…What a strange way to encourage someone.

* * *

A little later, the situation came to an end just like that.

Of course, Peiman, even while facing his own end, finally started having a seizure-like denial, insisting it wasn’t true.

Of course, no one believed the Physician who was just shouting like a mad dog that he was wronged.

“Oh right, I’m protecting ‘Kanin’, shall I look into it?”

The moment these words flowed from Jeok Yunha, one of Peiman’s disciples dropped to his knees and begged.

While pressing his forehead to the ground.

“I’m sorry! M-Master made me do it!”

The speed at which he abandoned his Master was art-level.

Well, it’s natural if he wants to save himself, right?

What followed was swift.

Public sentiment turned, and even the crime of being detestable was applied.

Those who had defended Peiman even briefly turned into spectators who criticized him even more out of embarrassment.

Watching the intermediate Physician getting stoned was quite pleasant.

Me? Of course I didn’t hold back either and said everything I wanted.

“Throw your Medical License in the trash.”
