The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

 

Chapter 80

 

“It would be to kill me.”

 

Just like how he had acted to appear as normal as possible earlier.

 

Fatigue showed on his face.

 

“They deliberately sent a worthless Physician to let you die?”

 

“Yes, that’s correct. They probably planned to dispose of the Physician as well after the job was done. Even so, since I was hovering between life and death, they couldn’t do anything about it.”

 

“No wonder the village was in such a mess.”

 

“I apologize. The Physician who was originally dispatched here is said to be already dead. I had asked them to send a proper Physician, but… I lost consciousness. That’s why I’m even more grateful. If it weren’t for you, Physician.”

 

The Lord smiled bitterly.

 

“I never thought I’d be able to open my eyes like this and see my beloved Wife again…”

 

“…”

 

“My Wife is waiting, believing only in our promise to meet again… I don’t even want to imagine how she would feel if she saw my corpse.”

 

Thud!

 

That’s when it happened. I turned my head, startled by the loud sound.

 

A cloud of dust was swirling slightly from the Wall.

 

“…Dad?”

 

It seemed like Dad had punched the Wall. Blood was flowing from Dad’s fist. One hand was covering his face as he frowned.

 

His breathing was rough.

 

“Dad!”

 

Whoosh.

 

An ominous Wind was blowing around Dad.

 

“…Oh my, is the Knight you brought a Wind Mage? His condition doesn’t look good.”

 

The Lord, who had wrapped around me protectively, extended his hand with a tired expression.

 

Flames sparked from the Lord’s fingertips.

 

…Was he a Fire Mage?

 

“If I didn’t mishear, I think you called him ‘Dad’. Do you need help?”

 

“Biyu…”

 

Before I knew it, Brother Gyewon was also looking at me. Having grown up watching Uncle, he seemed to sense something ominous.

 

I slowly shook my head.

 

“It’s okay. I’ll handle it myself.”

 

I picked up the Water Container and thoroughly soaked my hands.

 

Soon, a Wave that arose from me enveloped Dad. Through Diagnosis, I could see Dad’s condition at a glance.

 

“Dad, it seems like you’re overloaded.”

 

I kept my words brief, remembering that the Lord was listening.

 

“Rest for a bit.”

 

Water Stream took out a medicine bottle from the bag. It was sleeping medicine.

 

“Don’t put me to sleep.”

 

As if he had finally come to his senses, Dad shook his head vigorously. Even while suffering, he expressed his dissatisfaction underwater.

 

“Forget it. I’m fine. If I rest, who’s going to protect the Physician?”

 

“Are Uncle Baek and Uncle Poo just decorations? Brother Gyewon is here too.”

 

“I don’t trust them. They’re all broken.”

 

…Isn’t that too harsh to your brothers? I wanted to ask if he was introducing himself, but it seemed too disrespectful so I couldn’t.

 

“And my nephew is still inexperienced.”

 

It’s no secret that Brother Gyewon pouted at those words.

 

He’s hurting several people while not being in good shape himself.

 

As time passed, my diagnostic ability gradually wore off. Dad walked over with big steps and pulled me straight into his arms.

 

“This is enough for me.”

 

“…Am I a sedative?”

 

“Let’s say it’s similar.”

 

He said that being close to me reduces his obsession with home. Is it a similar context?

 

I decided to ask about it later. Lord Rederick was looking interested.

 

“I’m glad it seems to be resolved well.”

 

The Lord smiled.

 

“I heard that direct descendants of the Hei Family have black hair and inhuman beauty. I couldn’t ask because it might be rude, but the warrior with you seems to have the characteristics of the Hei Family direct line that I know.”

 

“Right. Direct line. Me too.”

 

“Ah, I see that’s the case.”

 

“…”

 

“When I first saw the Physician, I wondered if I had died and come to Heaven?”

 

He’s quite bold.

 

I wasn’t surprised since I had already become immune to hearing the Baby Fairy comments to the point of being sick of them.

 

‘The fact that he doesn’t ask why my hair isn’t black shows he has some sense.’

 

I nodded once and changed the subject.

 

“We were briefly interrupted by our circumstances, but don’t mind the person holding me. Think of him as a statue.”

 

“Hahaha. A handsome statue? The more I see the Physician, the more clever you are – I’d love to adopt you as my daughter.”

 

“Hei Biyu, can I kill him?”

 

“…Think of him as a talking statue too.”

 

“Haha, yes.”

 

Hey now, no matter how sensitive you’ve become, how can you attack someone so aggressively over a joke meant to lighten the mood?

 

This whole mess happened because of you.

 

‘Though I’m also the one who secretly likes it.’

 

I shook my head back and forth.

 

“Now that I’m better too, I should be able to provide as many supplies as you want. However… would it be possible to treat all the people under my command as well?”

 

“Of course. That’s why I came.”

 

“Please bill me for the costs later.”

 

“Let’s talk after the treatment is finished. Saving lives comes first.”

 

The Lord slightly covered his mouth. I didn’t miss the awkwardness that flashed across his face.

 

“…Well, this is quite something. You’re so different from all the physicians I’ve seen before that I’m a bit bewildered.”

 

I understand. Since this is the Western Continent where war and combat are so prevalent.

 

Physicians also tend to be somewhat calculating.

 

With their limited abilities, who should they treat to earn more money? To gain more honor?

 

When the Hei Family’s pioneering Family Head ‘Hei Ahua’ first settled in the Eastern Continent, she detested this and established the family’s rules.

 

But in the present day, the Hei Family is no different.

 

“Don’t have any illusions about the Hei Family, I’m the weird one. And I’m calculating too. Nothing’s free.”

 

“Haha. That’s an interesting thing to say. I’ve already experienced you treating me.”

 

Yeah. It’s payment after service.

 

Anyway, since the Lord I unexpectedly met was a pushover… no, a normal person. The treatment seemed like it would finish without problems.

 

That’s what I thought, but…

 

“And Physician? I’m a bit hesitant to bring this up, but… there’s someone I’d like you to see before treating the village residents and my subordinates.”

 

“What?”

 

I slightly frowned.

 

You also have some special VIP patient, is that what you want to say?

 

The Lord spoke with a troubled expression while lowering his voice.

 

“This won’t harm you, Physician. No, rather, I think we need to take care of this person so that no harm comes to you later.”

 

I made a blank expression. What kind of person could it be? Is there another Lord here too?

 

“…Someone from the Imperial Palace is in this village.”

 

I froze right there.

 

‘Why is that name coming up here?’

 

Not just me, but I felt Dad stiffen for a moment too.

 

Just as I was about to say something.

 

“Ugh!”

 

Brother Gyewon, who had been quietly sitting, suddenly stirred in surprise.

 

Brother was wearing a bag on his back, and in that bag…

 

Raon was inside.

 

Raon, the clever fox, understood my words to not come out when strangers were around, and usually lay quietly in the bag until it was time for just us to be together.

 

But the bag was bouncing here and there. It was causing a commotion.

 

“What… why is it suddenly acting like this?!”

 

“Nephew, give me the bag.”

 

I guessed it might have been startled while waking up?

 

“I’m here. I don’t know what’s wrong, but it’s okay…”

 

I hugged the bag tightly and put my hand inside to pet it, and after a short while I felt it panting.

 

Phew, thank goodness. It must have been startled after all.

 

It was strange that it kept trembling, but since I was holding it, it seemed to calm down a little.

 

I looked at the Lord while holding the bag.

 

Dad was holding me, and I was holding the bag with Raon inside…

 

We must look like a strange father and daughter.

 

“Sorry to interrupt for a moment. Could you keep talking?”
