The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 74

‘Take Biwon, Bihu, and Birang as your protectors. This level of support should be sufficient, right? For anything else you need, speak with the Chief Administrator who will provide supplies.’

Even if Uncle hadn’t asked, I was planning to wait until the verification was complete.

The road to Cheimik doesn’t have good security.

‘Having many capable Warriors isn’t a bad thing.’

While the Empire’s security is supposedly the best on the Western Continent, even that changes once you leave the Hei Family Territory.

It becomes a battleground.

‘It can’t be helped. It’s like an instinct carved into the humans of this land.’

I shook my head, recalling the time I wandered around as a traveling Physician in my third life.

To put it crudely, it was a hard mode life where I survived by running my mouth.

“I won’t leave you behind, so go and do well with the examination.”

The Family Head who had wanted a private meeting said we’d talk after I treated the epidemic.

In other words, if I couldn’t treat the epidemic, she wouldn’t acknowledge that I had treated Uncle and Uncle, nor that I had the skills worthy of a private audience.

‘Not particularly scary words.’

I know well about the disease that broke out in Cheimik.

It’s a Small Village, but it’s a commercial hub, so it’s treated as a neutral zone by the surrounding territories.

In my third life, that disease wiped out the Village, and was later called ‘Cheimik Disease’ after the Village’s name.

‘And the one who developed the cure for Cheimik Disease that was spreading throughout the Empire and ended it was…’

Eighteen-year-old me.

Epidemics have a high mutation rate, so it might be different from what I remember.

But it still shouldn’t be difficult.

“Hey, and… there’s something I need to say before you go.”

Uncle hesitated. Since he was uncharacteristically silent, I waited quietly for him.

“My Daughter… she’s currently somewhere far away.”

A Water Barrier had already been deployed, as if Uncle was trying to prevent sound from leaking out with his power.

“I, I couldn’t trust anyone… so I entrusted her to someone trustworthy and sent her far away.”

I know.

The person Hei Birang entrusted his Daughter to is a Hei Family associate.

They’re also someone who received great help from Hei Birang and took in his Daughter to repay that debt.

‘And I also know that person will betray Hei Birang a few years later, turn traitor, and start tormenting the child.’

I was already thinking of bringing the Female Lead back before that happens.

“I want to… see my Daughter after at least the Sleepwalking Disease is cured. Even if a complete cure is difficult… at least at a stage where I can feel reassured.”

He’s saying that in his current condition, he can’t bring her back with peace of mind.

‘When a Patient shows ambition, it’s a good sign.’

It hasn’t been that long since he started taking Medicine. I can understand his anxiety too.

There was no reason not to grant it.

“How long do you estimate it will take to completely eradicate the Sleepwalking Disease?”

“Hmm… that depends on Uncle Poo.”

“I’ll cooperate with anything.”

“Then 2 years.”

I gave a more generous estimate than the deadline I had in mind.

‘If I cure the epidemic and obtain the Eastern Wing as compensation, it might be good to bring her earlier.’

Originally, I had planned to bring the Female Lead around next year, but Uncle seemed to want to see Dad become more perfect first.

Even if that wasn’t the case, I was planning to find out news through Jeokyunha soon anyway.

Our cute overpowered Female Lead, I’ll provide her early education myself.

“Good.”

Uncle, now relieved, turned around.

We returned Home. Since this was still a young body, even this counted as work, and I felt somewhat drained.

“Hei Biyu.”

As we approached Home, a quiet voice called my name.

It was Brother Gyewon.

A somewhat small hand gently grabbed my foot as I was being carried by Dad.

“…Thank you.”

He had been quiet the entire walk, but it seemed he had been holding back tears.

His nose was red.

‘The atmosphere was pretty tense earlier.’

Since Brother was so mature for his age, I thought he would be fine.

Why did I think that?

‘He was threatened with a Real Sword, there’s no way he could have been okay.’

I soon found the answer.

For me, Hei Gyewon’s image as the mastermind I saw in the 3rd round was so intense that it probably influenced my thinking…

‘…Hei Gyewon?’

In the 3rd round, one day when I was almost fully grown, I encountered my Cousin Brother who had grown tall.

Hei Gyewon had become an incarnation of Revenge, consumed by anger and resentment.

A handsome face, but one that didn’t seem alive. I still remember that chilling, ghost-like appearance.

‘Hei Biyu. Go that way. From now on, the Family will disappear from this world.’

‘What will you do after that?’

‘Isn’t that none of your business?’

‘How is it not? You’re saying only you and I will be left with the Hei surname in this world.’

‘…’

This was the last conversation I had with Hei Gyewon in the 3rd round.

After that, Hei Gyewon truly destroyed the family, and since then, I never heard any news about him.

I was a little curious about how he might have lived.

I pushed away the memories and looked at Brother Gyewon.

This life. I would never let this brother, who was still young, become someone with such cold and empty eyes.

I focused on the wound remaining on his neck.

‘Let’s do something about that first.’

It’s going to leave a scar. Before I could say anything, a hand gently landed on top of my head.

It was Uncle.

“I’m grateful to you too.”

Though it was just one sentence, it was a voice filled with many things.

His face looked similar to the faces of patients who had desperately rushed to Hei Biyu Medical Clinic and looked at me after being completely cured.

“Really. So, ask me for anything.”

Those short words contained a lot of sincerity.

I smiled brightly.

“What are you being so formal for? We’re family.”

Then I looked at Brother Gyewon.

“Nephew, let me treat your neck before you go!”

* * *

Hei Moran, the Family Head of the Hei Family, liked Go and Janggi.

Since chess was popular in the Western Continent, these were board sports enjoyed only by those who appreciated them.

What happened on the small board was similar to the affairs of the world.

There were winners and losers, and those who were losers but hoped to become winners again.

Clack.

And currently, she was playing Janggi with someone in the Family Head’s Room.

Only the sound of placing Janggi pieces echoed in the quiet room.

Though she was blind, playing her favorite Janggi wasn’t a difficult task.

“It seems Bihu has recalled some memories.”

Clack.

The opponent’s Janggi piece was captured. The Family Head spoke without taking her eyes off the Janggi pieces.

“Though I can’t tell yet if she’s remembered ‘that incident.'”

“….”

“What will you do?”

The opponent’s hand paused for a moment.

The Family Head knew this fact but only looked at the Janggi board. Due to the Family Head’s new move, the opponent was in a crisis.

“The child you saw today is quite appealing, isn’t she?”

The opponent spoke without showing that they were cornered in the battle of moves.

“The compensation you offered was generous. The fact that you immediately proposed such a substantial commission was remarkable. Moreover, isn’t Cheimik related to the contact we received recently?”

“….”

“This is a matter related to the Imperial Palace.”

The Family Head did not answer. She merely smiled brightly.

“It’s quite an insignificant reward compared to what that child has accomplished.”

Hei Biyu. A child who improved the condition of the sons that no one in the entire Empire could heal. Despite being only three years old.

If we deliberately raise this child… what would happen? What benefits would it bring to the Hei Family?

However, there was one concerning aspect.
