The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius
Chapter 61
“Are you listening? I said I felt disgusted.”
“Waaah, me, let go!”
I may not know what’s going on either! But that rough way of speaking! It’s exactly like Little Uncle!
Let go of this, you person!
“I said I remembered the day you were born.”
“Who’s who?!”
“And just now… I remembered something more.”
I hesitated, stopping myself from trying to remove Dad’s hand.
Suddenly?
“What did you remember?”
“…An empty building.”
Dad lightly grasped his temple and muttered.
“It was the Eastern Wing… You were standing alone.”
Dad’s eyes grew heavy.
He came to see me before?
“Your eyes met mine.”
“Huh?”
Was there such a time? I frantically searched through my memories.
No, there wasn’t such a time?
“Our eyes met but I didn’t know? I didn’t see it?”
“That would be right. I went there hiding my body.”
I became even more puzzled.
Then why didn’t you acknowledge me at that time? It was a pure question.
“That’s not the problem. What I remembered isn’t just that.”
Dad’s expression was serious.
“Behind you… there were those targeting you. No matter how I look at it, they were assassins.”
“What, me?”
Similarly, during the time I was abandoned in the Eastern Wing, I had never seen an assassin even once.
‘Did this person really see me? Aren’t his memories all mixed up?’
I also became serious along with him.
“Then why…”
It was when I was saying this.
“Clear the way!”
There was a commotion in front of the clinic.
We were talking near the door, so we could quickly see what was happening.
The crowd that had gathered split apart like Moses’ miracle.
Those who appeared in a rush were wearing familiar black clothes.
‘…What, aren’t those the Hei Family’s Warriors?’
In this district, only the Hei Family wears Black Uniform with Gold and Silver Decorations.
That’s the Warriors’ uniform.
And the one standing at the front of the Warriors was someone I had seen once in the previous round.
I vaguely remember his name.
“Is this the ‘Hei Biyu Medical Clinic’ that recently opened?”
…Damn, the name is embarrassing even in this situation. I didn’t change it because it was bothersome, but I should put up a new Signboard!
“That’s right.”
I felt troubled watching the Hei Family Warriors scanning the inside of the clinic with hawk-like eyes.
Jeok Yunha, who would act as our representative, had temporarily left with the Two Patients who had consumed Poison.
It’s true that Dad officially received Permits and came out, but his relationship with the Main Hall didn’t seem very good.
I don’t expect good results.
‘It’s definitely a face I remember.’
‘Stop it! Stop! Don’t step on me!’
‘How unfortunate? It can’t be helped.’
‘…!’
‘You should have become a renowned Physician then, shouldn’t you?’
That Warrior, he’s the person who looked down on me in the 2nd round.
The Hei Family’s hierarchy is Physicians, Pharmacists, Warriors, Servants and Attendants in that order.
However, sometimes this hierarchy gets reversed.
This happens when capable Warriors encounter incompetent Pharmacists and Physicians.
‘In my case, it wasn’t lack of skill but lack of backing.’
The moment I saw that face, I could roughly guess what was about to happen.
‘I thought this situation would come at least once.’
The man standing at the front stared at Dad and me with a sternly hardened expression.
Then he took out some Paper and held it out.
“We came from the Hei Family.”
Paper with the Family’s official seal stamped on it.
“I hear there’s an imposter here who dares to impersonate the Hei Family?”
The Warrior’s gleaming eyes turned toward me. A sneer flashed in his eyes as he looked at me.
“We came to catch the imposter.”
The Warrior shouted ostentatiously, whether people were listening or not.
No, he wanted them to listen.
As expected, people began to murmur.
‘Wow, how many entertaining shows are the spectators going to see today.’
I sneered inwardly.
If I weren’t the Protagonist, I would have sat there eating popcorn and watching the show, wouldn’t I?
‘Besides, saying such things with Dad right there in front of them…’
I secretly lifted the corners of my mouth.
‘It’s a trap, isn’t it?’
What else could it be but to talk about imposters when there’s a perfectly fine direct line member of the Hei Family right here.
It must be some dark scheme.
There’s definitely someone behind that Warrior.
Yes, good.
Very good.
‘This is what the Hei Family should be like.’
I applauded inwardly.
Magnificent, you damn bastards!
* * *
The Hei Family.
A noble healer family revered in This City.
Beneath them, an enormous number of Physicians and Pharmacists are active.
On the surface, they pretend to be clean, noble, and elegantly maintain their authority.
But in truth, they’ve been rotten inside for a long time.
‘Originally, it was a family sustained under the charisma of an absolute powerhouse.’
A powerhouse among physician-pharmacists undoubtedly refers to overwhelming Healing Ability.
When they first came to the Western Continent, the then Family Head of the Hei Family, ‘Hei Ahua,’ possessed superhuman abilities.
Not only could she heal people using Water, but rumors even followed her that she could bring the dead back to life.
When she appeared on battlefields, there would be no deaths or even injuries.
Patients completely cured by Hei Ahua’s abilities were so captivated by her that they followed her around like shadows.
Even now, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say her radiance remains with the Hei Family.
There were even widespread rumors that beside her was the guardian deity of the Eastern Continent, a ‘Dragon.’
Was that all?
Being a healing ability user who could also control Wind Power and Lightning Strike was another famous story.
‘A total overpowered character, really overpowered.’
Recalling my Friend’s story, in the original work, the Female Lead ‘Hei Ayan’ was said to resemble this famous ‘Hei Ahua.’
Moreover, with her tremendous Healing Ability, she was often called her successor.
Anyway, back to the story.
After Hei Ahua established herself in this land, generation after generation, those with tremendous charisma and Healing Ability ascended to the Family Head position.
This was the same for the Current Family Head ‘Hei Moran,’ but…
‘Ten years ago, when the Emperor fell ill, she couldn’t heal him.’
Since then, the Hei Family had been quietly walking a downhill path.
However, the Hei Family was desperately struggling underwater to avoid showing this.
Above all, these people were like a lighthouse for the Eastern People living on the Western Continent.
The decline of their influence brought fear that discrimination against Eastern People might worsen throughout the entire continent.
And that was actually the case.
‘That’s why the Female Lead worked so hard in the original story.’
This family, rotting from within, couldn’t even self-correct until the original Female Lead grew up.
What that means is.
‘They won’t even tolerate geniuses they haven’t approved of themselves.’
The kind of things I had endured so sickeningly.
The Hei Family Estate had long since become a hotbed of politics and tightrope walking.
The skills of Physicians and Pharmacists had declined overall.
Moreover, no charismatic genius like the previous Family Head had emerged.
There were even rumors that the next Family Head position would go to whoever was best at political maneuvering.
“The Hei Family doesn’t grant their surname to just anyone.”
In the 2nd and 3rd rounds, I had tried to open a clinic in this market too.
And I was miserably crushed.
‘That person is not a Physician recognized by the Hei Family! They’re an imposter!’
You’d be an idiot to experience the same thing two or three times.
In the 3rd round, I just left because I didn’t have a decent warrior by my side, but now it’s different.
“Why am I an imposter?”
As I asked calmly while being held by Dad, it was the warrior who became flustered.
