The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius
Chapter 67
* * *
And so, two weeks passed by in an instant.
‘I did tell them to drive them away.’
My dad, uncle, uncle… Had these people accumulated stress?
They drove people away more viciously and ruthlessly than I expected, which became troublesome.
The visitors who initially started as low-ranking warriors were now not even mid-ranking but high-ranking warriors coming.
“Lord Hei Bihu, today I will definitely…!”
“Get lost.”
“Aaahhh! Do you think you can keep avoiding this foreverrrr!”
Regardless of all that, I diligently made medicine.
‘How many home runs is that.’
‘Niece. If you get better after taking the medicine… will there come a day when it won’t be a problem even if I summon my divine beast someday?’
Since I was seriously making medicine for him, he seemed to cooperate with even more enthusiasm.
Even Uncle was asking in such a serious voice.
‘That man seemed to cherish his divine beast…’
He couldn’t even bring it out because of the madness.
And perhaps it was thanks to the clever Raon and the Poison Horn Snake Bam-bam, who could be called the best divine beast among the renowned physicians.
‘Wow, the progress is really fast.’
Compared to when I was three in the previous round, my current skills were astonishing.
Exactly two weeks after spending such tumultuous days.
The final boss finally appeared in this Eastern Wing.
“It’s been a while, brother-in-law.”
It was Third Aunt’s Husband.
The person who had fought with Uncle when I went to get permission to go out before.
‘He’s still as intimidating as ever.’
Holding a massive crescent blade in one hand, he looked ready to take me away by force if necessary.
“You there, little one. You’re my niece, right? Your name is Hei Biyu.”
I dusted off my clothes and stood up.
Dad was already beside me, so there was no need to call him.
Aunt’s Husband made the most menacing expression he could, as if trying to intimidate me.
“It would be best if you and your father listen while I’m being nice. I don’t want to threaten a little one. If you don’t come with me, I’ll have no choice but to draw my weapon…!”
“I’ll go.”
“There’s no choice but to, huh?”
“Let’s go.”
Third Aunt’s Husband, Bae Seonghyeon blinked his eyes. With an uncharacteristically innocent expression.
Even as we followed behind Aunt’s Husband moments later, he couldn’t hide his suspicion.
“…Why are you following me?”
He had an expression that wanted to say ‘If this was going to happen, why all that fuss until now?’
But I completely ignored him.
Finally, Third Aunt’s Husband brought us to a certain location.
‘What is this place…’
I froze solid in place.
‘Why on earth did we come here?’
Before my eyes stood a massive building.
I held my breath for a moment looking at the magnificently spread path.
Surprisingly, the place Bae Seonghyeon had guided us to was the largest building where the Family Head resided,
the Family Head’s Palace.
‘Why did he bring us here?’
I thought the person who sent Warriors to pick a fight with Dad was definitely Third Aunt, ‘Hei Gyera’.
‘So I expected we’d go to Aunt’s dwelling?’
First Aunt Hei Haran is the most difficult person to deal with.
But she doesn’t pay attention to me yet.
I had noted that what I did in the test I took as soon as I opened my eyes in this world still hadn’t been reported to the higher-ups.
The fact that no one had come until now meant someone had buried my test results without reporting my performance.
‘If it had reached the Family Head’s or Hei Haran’s ears, someone would have come to the Eastern Wing.’
This was something I had experienced plenty in previous rounds.
And the general administrator in charge of tests for children classified as Branch Family and other riffraff was precisely
Third Aunt ‘Hei Gyera’.
‘I knew it would reach that aunt’s ears first this time.’
From experience, I judged it was better to catch this woman’s attention than Hei Haran’s, which was why I had used my abilities without hesitation.
‘So I naturally thought it would be Hei Gyera who summoned us this time…’
I thought she would make an issue of how her Warriors were treated.
I let out a slight groan.
‘Why the Family Head’s Palace?’
The place where the Family Head stays and oversees all affairs, called Hei Janggak.
Even Direct Descendants cannot enter and leave this place carelessly.
The situation had escalated.
Having arrived in front of the Family Head’s Palace, we were waiting briefly to enter.
“Ahem, Brother-in-law. Surprised to come to the Family Head’s Palace? Prepare yourself. This time you might also receive Tracking Scent and a ban on going outside.”
“…”
“Well, if you get on my good side… I could put in a word with the Family Head. In exchange, if you could just help our Hei Gakdae a little.”
“….”
“…Brother-in-law, are you listening?”
Dad was completely ignoring Third Aunt’s Husband’s words.
Then Aunt’s Husband’s voice stopped being heard. Dad had blocked it out entirely with wind.
That’s when it happened.
Dad suddenly said something like this.
“This doesn’t suit the current situation, but there’s something I need to tell you.”
“Hm?”
“Some woman keeps flickering before my eyes. Why is that?”
“A woman? What woman?”
“That’s….”
Dad’s eyelids grew heavy. I was startled.
‘His focus disappeared!’
Dad’s expression became hazy.
As if he was dreaming while walking. His unfocused, murky eyes resembled sleepwalking.
“Dad!”
“Hmm?”
When Dad’s gaze turned toward me, his focus had already returned.
“What did I just say?”
“….”
I felt a momentarily eerie sensation at the back of my neck, but without showing it, I calmly repeated what Dad had said.
A flickering woman.
If I had to guess, it’s one person. Probably Mother.
“…Dad, you know. You still don’t remember anything about Mother, right?”
“That’s right.”
Here, he’s gradually remembering memories related to my brothers and me,
“But since you’re starting to remember me, you’ll recall Mother soon too, right?”
Would it be okay to say it’s strange that only Mother can’t be remembered?
After a moment, an answer came from Dad who had been silent.
“…I suppose so.”
Somehow I felt an ominous feeling for an instant, but I deliberately ignored it.
* * *
A little later, we entered the Family Head’s Palace.
“Are you nervous?”
“Yeah. Well, something like that.”
I hadn’t entered this Family Head’s Palace many times, and not all of them were good memories.
‘But.’
This time I can make it remain as a satisfying memory.
That’s the privilege of a regressor, isn’t it?
This worked out perfectly. The Family Head’s Palace was a much better location than Hei Gyera’s home.
We arrived at the massive front courtyard of the Family Head’s Palace.
With the building as reference, there was a path in the center, and countless people stood on both sides outside the path.
At the end of the path were steps.
Above the steps, I could see familiar faces.
Women with jet-black hair like Dad’s. First Aunt Hei Haran and Third Aunt Hei Gyera.
When I arrived in front of the steps, I could see the Family Head standing one step above the aunts.
The Family Head, Hei Moran.
“You’ve come.”
And she was also my grandmother.
Black hair could be seen intermittently among her graying hair.
“How long has it been since I’ve seen these faces.”
In the Hei Family, regardless of gender or age, the most outstanding physician must become the Family Head.
There was only one condition: they must be of Hei Family blood.
Under the same condition, the one who became Family Head with overwhelming ability at the time was my grandmother.
“You were alive.”
Grandmother Hei Moran maintained straight posture despite her age.
If there was something unusual, it was that she covered her eyes with bright red silk.
‘The blind Family Head.’
Ten years ago, the Family Head failed to treat the Emperor’s illness.
In grief and despair, she stabbed her own eyes.
Among those with nature abilities, there are some who seek stronger power by sacrificing parts of their body in this way.
Family Head Hei Moran became an even stronger physician and Family Head through that method.
“It seems everyone has gathered, doesn’t it?”
