The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 60

I didn’t spare my words toward that bastard. I still wasn’t done being angry.

“You think of patients as nothing. You don’t deserve to be a Physician.”

My words must have been decisive.

After that, Jeok Yunha handled everything efficiently.

Jeok Yunha’s Group restrained Peiman and his disciples.

The patient who had been in cahoots with them also came to his senses and confessed that he had been paid to fabricate false testimony.

The last remaining Pharmacist, Su Jaeheon, struggled like Peiman but eventually admitted to receiving money.

“We’re planning to send them to the Administrative Office.”

This Nation has an organization like Korea’s ‘Food and Drug Safety Ministry’ that manages medicines and oversees official Physicians and Pharmacists.

Similarly, there’s also a Physicians Association established by Physicians alone.

Both are very powerful organizations in This Nation.

“We’re also going to formally protest to the Physicians Association to get him expelled somehow.”

Well, expulsion won’t be easy.

‘Since he was someone who received Sinion’s Divine Protection.’

There was a high possibility that Sinion’s side would either protect or eliminate Peiman, fearing that evidence of their connection might be revealed.

‘He shouldn’t die easily.’

I subtly leaked this fact to Jeok Yunha.

“Huh, you know everything even without me saying it?”

“It’s possible to guess. You were the one who told me that Kanin and Sinion had joined forces.”

Jeok Yunha flailed around in surprise for a while…

“…Um, I keep feeling this, but are you really three years old, Physician? You seem more mature than my father…”

“Hmm?”

I glanced at Dad.

Dad didn’t seem to act particularly immature though.

“Oh my, didn’t you know? Usually, if someone says even one bad word about you near you!”

“…Then?”

“Some wind blows people away, it’s a famous story. Oh, and! You don’t know this, right? Before, when you were briefly looking elsewhere…”

It was the moment Jeok Yunha was about to say something more.

Whooooosh!

A sharp wind from somewhere blew, making Jeok Yunha’s hair flutter.

Her mouth snapped shut.

“Ahem, ahem, what’s with this wind…”

Jeok Yunha hastily cleared her throat.

While sneaking glances at Dad, but Dad had an expressionless face.

Jeok Yunha had no choice but to speak again, but it was clearly not what she had intended to say before.

“Ahem, ahem, is that all? Sometimes among the people who publicly praise the Physician, there are those who suddenly get pushed to the front row because of a sudden wind.”

Huh? That’s a bit…?

‘Isn’t that cutting in line?!’

No, more than that… you mean you did such things while being by my side every time?

‘I had no idea?’

It was a bit hard to believe.

“Dad, what on earth did you do? If you act like that, your reputation will…”

“Get better. It also manages public order and makes people watch their words.”

“Uh…? Is that how it works?”

“Yes. They only say good things, and only those things are heard, so rumors only get positively reproduced, don’t they?”

Listening to it, I was a bit tempted. But still, cutting in line is wrong!

“Don’t worry. I gave advance notice to the people behind them too.”

“…Wasn’t that intimidation? More than that, why do you go to such lengths?”

Dad said confidently.

“Reputation management for a Physician is a Warrior’s duty.”

“…Don’t lie. Since when do Warriors do such things?”

If you do such things, you’re not a Warrior but a manager. In this world’s terms, you’d be a strategist or aide.

When I pointed this out, Dad changed his words.

“It’s special volunteer work.”

What nonsense is this?

For now, I decided to set aside this conversation and say what I had intended to say.

“About the remaining two patients that Peiman’s disciple brought.”

“Ah! Are you going to treat them, Physician?”

I firmly shook my head.

“No, have a different physician treat them, not me.”

“Eh, why?”

I still don’t have an official license.

Therefore, even if I wanted to leave official records, no records would remain if I treated them.

So I advised Jeok Yunha to leave records.

“Have a physician with good reputation who isn’t connected to you treat them.”

Fortunately, this poison isn’t difficult to treat if it’s before inhaling the scent. The same poison will be found in both patients.

Whether this was Kanin’s independent action or something Sinion ordered from behind will soon be revealed.

“Leave the fact that the same poison was found as official evidence.”

“Oh… Yes. I had similar thoughts. But your opinion is better, Physician. How can you be so thorough despite being so young? Looking at you, you seem like someone who’s been through this often, hoho.”

Jeok Yunha clapped her hands and fluttered away excitedly.

I secretly let out a sigh of relief.

‘That joke really hit the mark.’

Damn, she hit a sore spot.

Now it was break time. There was nothing more to see, so I leaned against Dad’s chest and slumped down.

‘Let’s see, how will Sinion come out?’

Someone like Peiman who just relies on his reputation and acts arrogant is no match for me.

If my memoirs are ever published in the future, wouldn’t I record this incident like this?

‘The story of how I caught a mid-level physician at age three…’

I covered my mouth and giggled, thinking what a silly thought it was.

“What’s so amusing?”

“Hmm?”

Dad’s long hair flowed down and tickled my cheek as he lowered his head.

I shook my head with a puff.

“Of course I’m happy! I gave him a good hit.”

“I didn’t think you’d find pleasure in such things.”

What are you talking about, Father? You still have a long way to go. You still don’t know me well.

“What are you saying? Where is there a person who doesn’t like seeing bad guys fall? I really, really, really! love it.”

I’ve had a lot of resentment in my lifetime.

“That’s why, Dad.”

I patted Dad’s chest gently.

“Thank you.”

“Suddenly?”

“Yeah.”

Dad’s chest was very solid. As if it would never collapse.

Maybe I wanted this kind of solid wall, a wall that would protect me.

I grabbed Dad’s hand. His hand was so big that I could barely hold just his fingers.

“You kept your promise. You protected me.”

I felt Dad flinch.

His eyes that had been trembling slightly soon regained their composure.

“…I said I would protect you from the beginning. Was I not trustworthy?”

How should I answer this?

My hesitation wasn’t long. I decided to answer honestly.

“To be honest, yeah, that’s right.”

“…”

“You threatened me when we first met.”

I wondered if the expression Dad was showing now contained regret, and for a brief moment I hoped it did.

But even if it wasn’t, there was nothing I could do about it.

“And our promise has no contract, no seal, not even an oath sworn on abilities. It was just verbal. It’s a promise that could be broken at any time without it being strange.”

I hate betrayal. That’s why I didn’t leave any records.

Even though this is my fourth life, if Dad abandoned me again or betrayed me, the shock would be even greater.

After hesitating for a moment, Dad spoke.

“Don’t you think about it?”

“Think about what?”

“The thought that since I’m your father, I should naturally protect you, my daughter.”

“….”

I tilted my head innocently as if finding it strange.

“Why is that obvious?”

I know.

In this world, there are parents like Uncle who, despite being sick, devotedly care for their children.

But on the other hand.

“There are also parents who don’t love their children.”

“….”

“There are parents who abandon them right after birth too.”

People like you exist too.

I didn’t intend to blame him.

I smiled slightly.

“I’m not saying it’s Dad’s fault. Since Dad lost his memory, he doesn’t know why he abandoned me, and it’s not Dad’s fault that he can’t remember me either.”

“….”

“I’m just saying that’s how it is. We made a deal. Just think about that.”

Keep the calculations clear.

I was about to say this much when I stopped short.

Dad’s face had hardened grimly. He looked exactly like someone who was angry.

At the same time, various indescribable emotions were visible. His face looked complicated too.

Dad’s hand pressed against my cheek without hurting me. My mouth popped out like a fish.

“Wah! What are you doing…!”

“I don’t understand why, but I feel very unpleasant right now.”

Dad’s expression became sulky.

Sulky? Crazy, what kind of word did I just use to describe this Dad.

Goosebumps rose all over me.
