The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius
Chapter 78
* * *
Intermediate Physician Coma answered while trembling violently.
“Se-seventy percent of the patients have d-died…! More than half of the remaining thirty percent are in critical condition. There’s almost nothing the Medical Team can do…!”
A little while ago, I had asked Dad, Uncle, and Uncle to just scare him.
The Three Brothers looked at each other, asked me for a moment, then Uncle and Uncle disappeared with the Physician.
Only twenty minutes had passed. Yet somehow the Physician was now kneeling neatly before me, trembling violently.
‘They said they didn’t hit him… What on earth did they say without hitting him…?’
I was curious, but it wasn’t important.
The information and reports this man was spilling were more important.
Cheimik’s condition was even worse.
‘The disease is progressing faster than I remember.’
I know because I investigated the epidemic records in the third round.
In previous rounds, it wasn’t this severe at this time.
‘If there’s a factor, it seems to be this guy…’
In previous rounds, this guy wasn’t the one in charge, I think. I can find out by looking around.
However, perhaps because the intermediate Physician was too frightened, he mentioned information I hadn’t expected.
“A-actually, I have a request…! Please, please look at our lord!”
Coma, who had changed his attitude, begged desperately as if he would grab my pant leg.
“…Lord?”
“Yes! If our lord dies, I’m as good as dead too!!”
Coma quickly nodded and explained the situation as follows.
Rederick, a large City located near Cheimik Village.
Lord Rederick, the lord of that place, had also caught the same epidemic.
Fortunately, he was touring the Territory Border for inspection, so he discovered the disease early.
Also, knowing that the same epidemic was spreading in villages near the City, he was taking it seriously.
Since the epidemic hadn’t spread to Rederick Territory, he had secretly come to this Village to find a cure.
‘He chose to isolate himself for the sake of his Territory. That’s an amazing decision for a lord.’
He must be a rare ruler in this world.
“I’m truly sorry for not recognizing you! Really! The Identification Plaque you carry is also that of a senior Physician from the Hei Family. Please forgive my ignorance! I beg you to please help our lord!”
Whatever he heard from Uncle and Uncle when he was dragged away. He was begging at a level where the person seemed almost reformed.
“Ahem, now you seem to recognize our Niece’s greatness,”
When I glanced at Uncle and Uncle, they were looking at me like proud puppies hoping for praise.
‘…Are they serious.’
Brother Gyewon looks more mature than you two.
“Hmm, you. Didn’t you say you’d eat dog shit if I was a physician?”
“…What?”
“Keep your word then.”
I held up my thumb upside down with an arrogant expression from Dad’s arms.
Go eat shit, you bastard.
This guy was definitely a typical physician who looked down on warriors.
From how he initially asked to only see ‘special patients,’ I could tell with my eyes closed how he treated regular patients.
“Ah, ha, haha… You, you must be joking?”
“Show the way.”
“…What? Yes! Th, thank you.”
“But seeing the lord will have to wait until after I check the patients’ conditions.”
Coma’s face darkened, but he couldn’t say anything. He could only watch Uncle and Uncle Poo’s reactions.
* * *
As I had declared beforehand, I toured the village first, then went to where Coma guided me to meet the lord.
“Um, the mask is…”
“Not necessary.”
“Aha, haha… As expected, even though you’re young, the Hei Family physician is different!”
If there was a difference, it was that Coma’s attitude had become a bit more respectful.
‘It’s probably because he saw a patient improve right before his eyes.’
While going around, I confirmed there was a patient who looked like they would die if immediate action wasn’t taken.
As a temporary measure, I made medicine to prevent the disease from spreading further and gave it to them.
‘Fortunately, the disease isn’t different from what I remember. It’s one of the variants I know.’
I clearly witnessed Coma’s face turn to shock when he saw the patient’s breathing stabilize.
After that, Coma’s attitude changed.
Should I say it became transparent?
‘I guess it’s better than being sinister.’
The lord of Rederick, Count Rederick, was a young lord who appeared to be in his thirties.
Slightly tanned skin with golden-brown hair. He was a man with handsome features.
On top of that, he had a very large build.
I was a bit surprised since I had been thinking of a bearded Western Continent uncle.
‘His condition is serious.’
Since his upper body was undressed, I could examine his condition thoroughly.
“Nephew, some clean cloth.”
“Ah, okay…!”
“Uncle Poo, please fetch some water, and Dad, don’t let anyone come in.”
I said without hesitation as I approached the patient.
‘Hemorrhagic spots… Signs of necrosis at the extremities too.’
This brings back old memories.
I turned my head.
“There’s one last thing I want Uncle Baek to do.”
I gave Uncle some instructions. For a moment, everyone looked puzzled.
“Piyak, you really want me to… do that?”
“Yeah.”
Uncle also had an expression asking why he had to do such a thing. But after a moment, he smiled and nodded.
“I must follow your orders~”
Uncle went outside to carry out my instructions.
I opened the water bottle in my hand.
Swoooosh!
A huge wave rose, large enough to cover a person at once. Soon after diagnosing the lord, I quickly realized.
‘If left like this, he would have died within three days.’
Surprisingly, almost none of the treatments that physician Coma had applied were proper.
Even if it’s an unfamiliar disease, this is too much – even the basics are a mess?
‘They said he was the physician of the Lord’s Castle. What kind of quack did they seat there?’
When that lord opens his eyes, I’ll see what kind of person he is, and if he’s decent, I’ll definitely give him a heads up.
I pondered for a moment.
‘Oh my, even sepsis.’
Depending on how serious the illness is, and how tricky the injury is, the energy needed to use my ability varies.
My contemplation wasn’t long.
“Dad, open the bag for me.”
The bag Dad was carrying on one shoulder was full of medicinal materials I had prepared in advance.
“Bam-bam.”
I felt Bam-bam, who was coiled around my wrist, lift his head.
A faint light flowed out from my sleeve. Bam-bam was helping me with his own power.
Soon the water stream moved here and there, creating medicine.
Then the water stream was about to flow the medicine bottle toward the patient’s mouth.
“Wait.”
Dad approached and held the patient’s upper body, lifting him up.
“I’ll do it. Feeding an unconscious person is quite tricky.”
Hmm, I know that well too.
I was about to say I’m also familiar with such things, but decided against it.
“Dad is experienced?”
“I remembered. Long ago, I had to feed subordinates and colleagues like this.”
“Hmm?”
…Colleagues from when you were assassinating together?
I was about to say this, but remembered that Coma, still an outsider here, was present and closed my mouth.
‘Somehow it feels like the speed of recovering memories is gradually getting faster.’
At first, just recalling memories made him feverish and struggling, but even those symptoms seemed to be disappearing day by day.
‘This can’t be an illness that recovers so smoothly.’
If that were the case, it wouldn’t have been an incurable disease that required using my lifespan.
For now, I tucked the ominous feeling deep in my chest.
