The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 75

‘It’s not exact, but her condition is…’

The Family Head had given up her sight in exchange for being able to greatly expand her abilities.

‘How many times should I tell you? Don’t lay a hand on my child when you speak.’

Though she had been interrupted by Hei Bihu’s intrusion, for just a brief moment at that time, the Family Head had managed to diagnose Hei Biyu.

And the child’s condition was…

The Family Head’s lips curved into a thin smile.

‘Why didn’t I know about such a treasure all this time?’

Why indeed—it was because her children had blocked her view. It was her own doing.

Even so, she wasn’t displeased.

After all, genius is like an awl in a sack. It was more enjoyable that it had reached her ears this way.

However, even if she tried to use the child in the future, the sons who were beside her didn’t seem like they would stay still. And it wasn’t just one but three of them, which would be quite troublesome.

“If you covet that child, Hei Bihu as her father will only be a hindrance.”

“…”

“Wasn’t he the one who dared to ignore the Family Head’s summons even with his broken mind? A mere warrior, at that.”

Click. The opponent moved their piece.

A move that neither blocked directly nor completely deflected the attack.

“So what will you do about Bihu?”

“…I’ll handle it myself. He’s irritating to you anyway, isn’t he?”

The Family Head sensed the opponent’s chess piece that was subtly hiding its presence behind her own piece.

“It would have been better to live without remembering.”

Things that could be known only through the wind and touch that served as the Family Head’s senses.

“This time I’ll definitely dispose of him.”

Seeing that the Family Head didn’t refuse, the opponent’s lips curved upward.

Night.

The surroundings were quiet and dark. There was a carriage racing continuously down the darkened road.

It was a carriage so pristine white and luxurious that it stood out even in the middle of the night.

It was also a party formal enough to have uniformed knights as escorts.

However, the expressions of everyone in the party were uniformly serious.

Meanwhile, inside this luxurious carriage were two men.

One man stared ahead with his hands clasped together anxiously.

‘When every moment counts to complete the mission as quickly as possible…’

In front of him lay a man lying horizontally.

It was his Superior.

Currently, his Superior was unconscious from a raging fever.

It had already been three days.

Every time he opened his eyes, he would cry out that it was too cold and scream in agony.

They had asked physicians in every village they passed, but all of them just shook their heads, saying it was a disease they’d never seen before.

‘It looks similar to the fever that once spread through the village… but the diagnosis results are strange. And look at this – I’ve never seen skin swell up red like this before.’

Though he didn’t know much about medicine, even he could see that his Superior’s symptoms were getting worse by the day.

At this rate… he might even die.

‘Absolutely not.’

If his Superior died, things would become troublesome for him.

More importantly, they had been entrusted with a very important mission to travel throughout the Empire and meet with the Lords.

That mission was.

‘We need to hurry and find the white fox…!!’

Fortunately, there were several fairly large cities along their current route.

‘I hope there’s a high-level physician this time.’

Most importantly, the Territory ruled by the Hei Family wasn’t far away.

They could simply get some fever reducer from a village that served as a strategic point between territories and then continue on their way.

“Cheimik is getting close!”

“Hurry!!”

“Yes!”

He didn’t know.

That the village was already… full of people with the same disease as his Superior.

“Hey. Hei Biyu. What the hell is this?”

A week had passed since meeting the Family Head. We were currently inside a carriage heading to Cheimik.

The carriage was racing without rest, carrying Uncle, me, and Brother Gyewon.

“Kyaang! Kang! Kang!”

“Uncle Poo, stop it.”

In my arms was Baby Fox Raon, who had recently become part of our family.

Around my neck was Baby Poison Horn Snake Bam-bam, who seemed pleased as he pressed his head against me.

“Raon is getting scared. Put that thing down quickly.”

“This?”

Uncle gently shook what was in his hand, grinning as if it was amusing.

“What’s so scary about this? It just looks like a bird’s beak. Hey, fox, you need to build up your courage, kid.”

“Kyaeng!”

“Ah, the kid says she doesn’t like it!”

Uncle held a bird beak mask in his hand.

The mask had goggles attached to the eye area, a gas mask at the end of the beak, and a purification filter on the head.

It looked similar to the masks plague doctors wore in European history.

Here, it’s what Western Continent physicians wear.

The Family Head seemed to intend proper support like an official physician dispatch, sending various supplies.

‘She said medicinal materials were sent to the village in advance through agreements with nearby cities.’

As a result, the carriage the Family Head sent also contained masks like this.

“Hey, but are you really going to wear this ugly thing? Is it that necessary?”

Raon was still trembling while looking at the mask Uncle held. Was its appearance scary?

“Kiiing… Nng…”

She flattened her ears and trembled so pitifully.

When I glared at Uncle, Hei Birang quietly lowered the mask.

Though the medical arts development of the Eastern and Western Continents differed, the Hei Family didn’t exclude Western methods.

So some physicians wore those masks when dispatched for epidemics.

Of course, I didn’t need it.

‘Though it’s not completely unhelpful.’

Why are epidemics scary?

Because even the treating physicians can get infected. In the worst case, they could die.

But who am I?

A Genius Physician! And a Regressor!

The disease that spread to Cheimik was likely one I knew.

And I could treat any disease I caught.

I didn’t need to wear that heavy mask. A simple cloth mask would be sufficient.

‘Besides, the Cheimik disease isn’t even a respiratory infection.’

I shrugged my shoulders while keeping this to myself.

“I don’t need to wear it. It’s unnecessary.”

“What? Just wear it. I’ll adjust the size for you. Or I think there are smaller ones too?”

“I said it’s unnecessary. They brought it because many eyes are watching. There’s no need to obviously show we don’t need what they’re providing.”

“Then what about this? You’re not telling me to wear it, are you?”

“I don’t know. Uncle Poo doesn’t need such things, right? Since you have a body blessed by the Dragon.”

Dad, Uncle, and Uncle who received the Dragon’s Blessing were resistant to common infectious diseases like colds.

They had bodies so blessed and sturdy that getting an incurable disease was strange to begin with.

Such a convenient setting.

They were also perfect personnel for such dispatches.

‘Damn, I’m so jealous!’

Because of my sickly body, I initially caught every disease and struggled so much treating them.

‘When my abilities were immature, I suffered terribly.’

Uncle pointed to Brother Gyewon, who was reading a cookbook in front of me.
