The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 66

* * *

I recalled the story Jeok Yunha had told me today.

‘Whew, I was really startled. The people assigned to me are from the Hei Family, right? Even with masks on, I could tell.’

‘Mmhm.’

‘Really amazing! I mean, I could feel what it’s like to use a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken!’

Even after the meal ended, Uncle, Uncle, and Brother Gyewon didn’t leave.

So I told Uncle what I had heard from Jeok Yunha.

Uncle’s reaction was lukewarm.

“Didn’t do much.”

That can’t be right.

‘The Lightning Mage who killed his subordinate one day and disappeared, that’s Hei Biwon, right? The other one…’

This is a time that can’t be known from the original work. While I roughly know Hei Birang’s past.

I didn’t know exactly where Uncle belonged when he was young, or what Dad did.

“Just did what I used to do. Elder Brother’s job was causing chaos in the past. My job was gathering information.”

Uncle downed his cup in one gulp. It’s clearly a water cup, but he drinks it like alcohol.

Soon Uncle mentioned two places.

“Uncle Baek is Hei Gakdae, Uncle Poo is Biyeongdae?”

The Hei Family’s finest martial power organization and intelligence organization respectively. Hei Birang glanced toward Dad with an expressionless face.

“Your father is…”

Currently, Dad was being held by Uncle. Uncle was clinging to him, skillfully dodging Dad’s resistance.

I glanced at Dad and said.

“…Assassination?”

Hei Birang hesitated and looked at me. He had a surprised expression.

“What, you know… No, no, pretend you don’t know.”

Uncle waved his hands frantically.

I shrugged my shoulders.

Since Dad himself said he was the family’s dog, I just guessed from there.

If he did the family’s dirty work instead, those kinds of things come to mind.

“I really sometimes wonder if I’m talking to a three-year-old or someone my age…”

Hei Birang let out a sigh.

‘He looks like he has something on his mind.’

Still, he remained silent, and I just stayed by his side for a while.

Had a moment passed?

“I, well….”

“What’s bothering you?”

I tilted my head.

Sometimes certain patients have expressions that show they just want someone to listen to their story.

Uncle’s expression was like that right now.

“I watch patients carefully.”

“….”

Hei Birang seemed embarrassed and scratched his cheek.

“Well, you see. I have… something to confess, but you won’t laugh after hearing it, right?”

“I’ve never laughed after hearing a patient’s worries.”

Uncle chuckled softly but seemed to have gained courage.

“Since I got sick, I’ve had some problems with my abilities too. For a while now.”

He was pretending to be calm, but his voice was trembling slightly at the end.

“…I’m afraid of water, you see?”

I was surprised but didn’t show it outwardly.

Hei Birang was a Water Mage.

But he’s afraid of water?

No, but for someone like that, he used his abilities just fine, didn’t he? Is that all? My diagnosis involves being trapped underwater.

There were no problems at all until now, right?

“Just so you know, water used by others is fine. It’s purely a fear of water that I use myself.”

Uncle’s words were as follows.

“When I first got this disease… I fell asleep, and I couldn’t control my abilities, almost hurting people.”

In the early stages of his illness, when he fell asleep, his power would run wild.

So people got hurt because of it.

“…And during the time I couldn’t control it, Daughter almost got hurt. Ever since then, water has been… scary, you know? My own power became frightening.”

Hei Birang made a very pained expression.

With his wife dying early, his only remaining daughter Hei Ayan was everything in the world to Uncle.

It must have been like a bolt from the blue.

“So I can’t use power beyond a certain level. I’ve become… an idiot. There’s no past glory or anything.”

Hei Birang clenched his hand tightly then opened it.

A small water whirlpool formed in Uncle’s hand then disappeared completely.

“That’s probably part of why I’m confined here. The Main Hall treated me like waste in the end.”

Uncle’s face looking at my young face seemed desperate.

“Can this… be treated too?”

In the original story, there was no such problem at all. So this strong Uncle must have resolved this issue on his own.

Still, I fully understand the painful feelings he must be experiencing.

“So Uncle Poo coming here wasn’t just because of causing trouble and the disease that makes you sleep a lot. And the problem you mentioned will be fine to fix.”

“…Why?”

I quietly grabbed Uncle’s hand.

It was damp.

He seemed nervous.

“In the end, your ability isn’t being controlled because of the illness, right? That will get better once you take medicine, so there’s no problem.”

I dipped my hand into the water cup I was drinking from.

“Everything will be fine, right?”

Uncle stared at me intently. Confusion flickered in his sharp eyes.

Soon Uncle frowned.

“What if I can’t use my power even after taking medicine? Would I be useless?”

“Then it would be a psychological problem.”

Whoooosh! The surging water enveloped Hei Birang.

“Don’t worry. Who do you think Uncle Poo is looking at right now?”

I grinned widely.

“A Genius Physician.”

Once the Empire’s greatest and a Genius Physician renowned across the continent.

“I’ll become a master physician who can solve even that.”

The after-service is guaranteed too, right?

A little later. I gathered Uncle and Uncle Baek who were about to go home, along with Brother Gyewon. Naturally, Dad was with us too.

“From now on, we’ll temporarily stop the Hei Biyu Medical Clinic and focus on treating Uncle Baek and Uncle Poo.”

“Is there a reason?”

I nodded.

First, with Jeokyunha’s support, we managed to obtain even rare medicinal materials that were hard to find.

And it was time to start making Uncle and Uncle Baek’s medicine in earnest.

“Listen carefully. Starting tomorrow, people will probably come from the Main Hall.”

Didn’t the Hei Family warriors already plant the seeds this afternoon?

I explained briefly.

“You’re saying… it won’t just end with a simple warning, but they’ll take Father and the uncles to the Main Hall?”

“Yeah.”

Brother Gyewon looked disbelieving, but Uncle and Uncle Baek’s expressions were different. Dad’s too.

Big Uncle had dealt with Kanin’s hideout. There might still be traces left behind.

‘More than that, does the Main Hall really not know about those two going out?’

If this was also a trap, the Main Hall would surely make a big deal about Uncle Baek and Uncle’s unauthorized outings.

And if they summoned them, they would definitely make an issue of their illness.

‘Let me accelerate the medicine’s stages by about ten steps. Then there will be noticeable improvement.’

I stared at the four people.

“Just buy me 2 weeks.”

“…2 weeks?”

I grinned.

“Yeah. Then I’ll show you a miracle.”

* * *

“Is Master Hei Bihu here!”

Someone pounded on the door as if they would break it down.

Then the door opened by itself.

The people who rushed in were lower-ranking Warriors of the Hei Family wearing Black Clothing and Gray Hoods.

“Orders have come from above. You must immediately report to the Main Hall… Uheoeok!!”

They flew away as if blown by Palm Wind.

Those who were driven out of the door stared ahead in bewilderment.

Dad, whom they were looking for, stood in the Yard brushing back his hair with an annoyed expression.

“Get out of my Home right now.”

And the Warriors flew away like stars.

‘Wow, shouldn’t that level of Wind Power be called a Tornado?’

I whistled as I watched people getting caught in a Tornado and flying away in broad daylight.

‘Home run. It’s a home run!’

If our Dad had played baseball, he would have been a home run king.

That’s when it happened.

Rumble, crash!

With a tremendous sound, lightning struck from the clear Sky. It was in the direction of Uncle’s Home.

‘Good, that side is also driving them away well.’

I hummed a tune.

‘Very good. Just keep driving them away like this.’

Two days ago from now, at night.

‘Just buy me exactly 2 weeks of time.’

I boldly declared that I needed time to make Medicine.

‘We don’t need to go to the Main Hall right away. And there’s a way to not report to the Main Hall. Just drive away everyone who comes looking.’

A certain person who sent his subordinates to the Clinic to cause trouble would use this as an excuse to summon us to the Main Hall.

Naturally, they would dig a trap and wait. But there’s no reason to do as they wish, is there?

‘By any means necessary… blow them away!’

‘The Family Head will take responsibility!’

Want to buy time? Just lie down and tell them to go ahead and try.

While driving everyone away.
