The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 6

It wasn’t like she was being defiant or argumentative.

She spoke so matter-of-factly with those adorable round eyes that his anger cooled from sheer absurdity.

‘…Was this kid a patient too?’

Unless she was insane, there was no way she would wake him when even the servants didn’t dare disturb him carelessly.

But then again, there wasn’t much he could do to such a tiny thing.

‘Damn it, damn it! She says it feels like it’s going to break.’

This scrawny little thing with only chubby cheeks!

Of course, he could have lost his temper and taken his anger out on her.

But in the end, he couldn’t do it…

Because of Second Brother.

‘It’s not your fault.’

Though all three brothers had suddenly become abnormal due to incurable diseases, he hadn’t forgotten what Second Brother had done for him.

Moreover.

The bruise he had left on Hei Biyu’s wrist on the first day still hadn’t faded.

‘Damn brat. Claims to have healing ability. Can’t even heal her own hand?’

Unaware that Biyu had deliberately chosen not to heal it, Hei Birang was busy grumbling.

Hei Birang strode forward, not caring whether the damn brat was following behind him or not.

“Uncle, where are you going?”

“Going to sleep. Why?”

“You slept so much already, and you’re going again?”

“…”

“You said you weren’t sick. You must really like sleeping!”

“Like it?!”

Since he had claimed to be healthy, he had become a stupid guy who just loved sleeping.

‘Ugh, I can’t do anything about that kid…’

Moreover, Hei Birang knew.

Fundamentally, the reason he couldn’t do anything about that brat was because of his daughter.

Though he couldn’t see her face.

‘She would walk around like that.’

That child would be able to call him ‘Daddy’ by now. His expression twisted.

‘Annoying brat.’

“Uncle! Uncle!”

The game of tag continued from then on. For over three whole days.

“Miss! Fine, fine, I get it!”

Finally, Hei Birang surrendered.

“What do you want?”

“Take the medicine!”

And after hearing Biyu’s words, he thought.

‘A little tumble wouldn’t be too bad, right?’

Then even if Second Brother got angry, he might have something to say in his defense.

‘It’s not like I’m killing her. Just a little poke…’

How dare this little brat, who isn’t even a proper physician, get so cocky and try to make me take some unknown medicine?

Just as Hei Birang was seriously considering whether to flick that soft forehead.

“Just drink this!”

Only then did Hei Birang turn his attention to what his niece was holding in her arms.

It seemed like she’d been carrying that thing and following him around like a sparrow this whole time?

“…With those short legs. Why are you carrying around something as big as you are?”

“Because this is the only container we have?”

I wasn’t asking out of curiosity.

“Drink it.”

A container for holding potions. He had often seen such things at the family estate during his warrior days.

“Are you trying to poison me?”

“Huh?”

“You want me to drink medicine from an unlicensed pharmacist who hasn’t received permission or education? And a little kid at that?”

“Yeah!”

Why is she answering so cheerfully again?

“Uncle.”

Hei Birang didn’t respond. She’d probably just say something silly.

“If I said it was poison, would you drink it?”

“What? Ha. Fine. Sometimes I want to die anyway, so go ahead and give it to me. I’ll die for you.”

It was a statement without a grain of sincerity.

Why would he die when he had a rabbit-like daughter?

Though sometimes it was painful enough that he thought dying might be better.

“Really? Dying is easier than you’d think.”

With that innocent expression, Hei Birang felt a strange sensation.

“So you shouldn’t say things like that carelessly.”

“…”

“We’re a family that saves people’s lives.”

While Hei Birang kept his mouth shut, Hei Biyu smiled brightly.

“You won’t believe my diagnosis anyway, Uncle. So at least try taking the medicine.”

At the same time, the child put her hand into another water container she was holding. Water shot up with a whoosh.

“There’s no harm in trying it.”

Once again, water covered Hei Birang.

“What are you…”

“12 years ago, it first manifested. The location was Dragon Manifestation Hall at the Main House. It started when you collapsed in front of everyone.”

“…”

Biyu stared into empty space.

“These days, once you fall asleep… 3 days? Recently, you even slept for 5 straight days. In contrast, you only opened your eyes for about an hour. The symptoms will get worse over time. Don’t you know it gets worse if you don’t eat?”

Hei Birang’s eyes widened.

“It’s all true, isn’t it? This is my diagnosis, Uncle.”

“…”

“The reason Uncle can’t believe it is because you’ve only seen those idiots who don’t even seem like physicians.”

The child grinned.

“Trust me.”

At that moment, Hei Birang saw someone overlapping behind Hei Biyu.

‘Love and treatment are similar. They both absolutely need attention.’

The same light purple hair as the child. An elegant beauty who always gave him romantic advice.

It was Second Sister-in-law.

‘Trust me, Young Master.’

‘My treatment is amazing, you know?’

The most genius person among those he knew.

“I’m good at treatment, Uncle?”

…If she had been alive, perhaps she might have treated him, First Brother, and even her own husband – such an amazing Physician and Pharmacist.

Hei Birang pressed his lips tightly together.

* * *

“…Give it here.”

Huh, what’s this about?

I was startled.

And I hurriedly tried to open the lid of the container with the medicine, but it wouldn’t open easily!

‘Damn, I don’t know when that uncle might change his mind!’

While I was struggling, the Water Container suddenly disappeared.

“Tsk.”

Then it opened with a casual pop! in Uncle’s hands.

I watched helplessly like a squirrel that lost its acorn.

“If I just drink this… keep your promise not to be bothersome.”

“Yes!”

I don’t know why his attitude changed, but.

‘I’m glad I made the medicine and brought it.’

In the East Garden, there was an abandoned herb garden. For something abandoned, it had quite decent plants growing in it.

Thanks to that, I was able to make the first medicine easily.

“Ugh, what did you put in this? This is poison, right?! You damn brat!”

It was good that he drank it heartily, but uncle was so shocked by the taste that he dropped the container.

I didn’t care whether Hei Birang was clutching his throat and gagging or not.

“Oh, you finished it all!”

I picked up the empty container, shook it thoroughly, and was satisfied.

“Aww, our uncle~ You ate well. Want some candy?”

“No way! Tell me straight. You! You’re trying to poison me, aren’t you?! You damn brat!”

What nonsense.

The Eastern Continent worships dragons.

There were humans who were born exceptionally sturdy after receiving the Dragon’s Blessing, and that was exactly the Female Lead’s Father.

That’s why he could survive just sleeping without eating. For a normal person, these would be symptoms that would have already killed them.

‘Poison affects him less than normal people, so what’s he talking about.’

Medicine that’s good for the body is bitter. It’s the same in this world too.

“Then bye-bye, uncle!”

“Hey, hey! Where are you going. Hey! Explain yourself!”

Explain what. Be grateful I gave you medicine like an answer sheet.

* * *

Several days passed.

My niece kept coming to find me.

She kept bothering me by following me around with that strange medicine she had drunk once.

Since she didn’t die, it wasn’t poison, but the taste was like poison!

He pondered seriously.

“Candy?”

“…No thanks.”

Should I have eaten it?

The difference from before was that as long as he drank it, she would return without any lingering attachment.

What the hell is this damn brat scheming?

Don’t normal kids seek out adults even just because they’re lonely?

‘Like asking to eat together, or asking to be put to sleep…’

A brat who has no interest in anything except making him take medicine.

“Tsk.”

Hei Birang was a human who had no conscience whatsoever.

“Why won’t the bruise fade?”

All because of that damn bruise on her tiny wrist that wouldn’t fade.

“Sigh… Damn it, I can’t even sleep, and now I’m worried about this!”

At that moment, Hei Birang paused.

He suddenly came to a chilling realization.

His narcolepsy had become severe three years ago, and after his symptoms worsened.

‘Have I ever stayed awake for more than 2 hours?’

Hei Birang checked the time.

…The time he saw when he opened his eyes was 2 PM.

Now it’s 5 o’clock.

‘I’m good at treatment, uncle?’

In a life that had been lived thoroughly according to a set routine like a hamster wheel, only one thing had changed.

Hei Birang shot up from his seat.

That damn brat.

Hei Birang’s feet moved fiercely.

* * *

“Hmm.”

I stared intently at the leaf in my hand. It was a leaf that reflected a very pale blue color when held up to sunlight.

“Ugh, as expected.”

It’s hard to get good ingredients.

As befitting a family that once made a name for itself on the Eastern Continent and had a reputation for healing abilities here as well, there were medicinal herb bushes scattered throughout.

The problem was that the Eastern Wing where I lived was an area that had been abandoned for quite some time, so it wasn’t maintained at all.

‘As expected, this won’t work.’

Then suddenly feeling something strange, I quickly turned my head.
