The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

 

Chapter 82

 

“Managing the Physician’s condition and schedule is also a Warrior’s duty.”

 

– When did I ever.

 

“Is Uncle a liar?”

 

– ….

 

Dad sank into silence. I grinned smugly.

 

Meanwhile, the Knights looked Dad over with satisfied eyes and commanded authoritatively.

 

“Indeed, the reputation of the Hei Family is not in vain. Good, Physician. Follow me. An important person is waiting for you.”

 

Instead of answering, Dad glanced at me. I nodded to show him it was okay.

 

‘Oh, Dad’s frowning. That’s his slightly annoyed face.’

 

As his memories returned, Dad was mysteriously gaining more facial expressions.

 

Others might not notice much difference. But he had slightly more expressions than when I first saw him.

 

“I’ll come along as well. Physician.”

 

Lord Rederick followed with shameless persistence.

 

I wondered if he could even walk, but he was tougher than I thought.

 

What’s with his stamina?

 

So with Brother Gyewon joining us as well.

 

We stopped in front of a decent building.

 

Count Rederick whispered quietly beside me.

 

“This is the Village Chief’s house.”

 

Village Chief?

 

“Didn’t you say the Village Chief also got sick?”

 

“They kicked out the Village Chief and moved in.”

 

Ah….

 

Crazy bastards. They kicked out a patient who was on the brink of death?

 

‘Why do all the ones with Imperial names act exactly the same way.’

 

I glared at the Knights’ backs with a coldly hardened expression, then suddenly looked down.

 

‘…Raon?’

 

Ever since I received the bag containing Raon from Brother Gyewon earlier, I had been holding it the whole time.

 

‘He’s trembling.’

 

I wanted to take him out right away to see what was wrong, but there were too many eyes watching.

 

“Nephew.”

 

I called Brother Gyewon and gave him some instructions. It was a request to prepare snacks for Raon.

 

Then I sent him to Hei Birang, who we had left in front of the Deputy Village Chief’s house.

 

After that, we entered the Village Chief’s house.

 

– So I’d appreciate it if you could tell me how long I need to keep acting as a physician in place of my daughter, real physician.

 

Wow, look at the dissatisfaction just bursting from his voice.

 

“…Why are you so angry?”

 

Since he seemed to have taken measures so my voice wouldn’t be heard anyway, and we were heading into the corridor, I asked with relief.

 

– They’re ordering you around left and right. Don’t heal him instantly out of spite.

 

What is he talking about.

 

‘You can’t look at patients with personal feelings, you know?’

 

Well… even saying this, I can’t claim I’ve treated every patient without personal feelings.

 

“Really, there’s no child like this. Even my nephew is more mature.”

 

– That’s fine. I can be a peer-like dad to my daughter.

 

How does it get interpreted that way? And my mental age is that of an adult, you know?

 

“We’ve arrived.”

 

I opened the door and entered the room with Lord Rederick. As soon as I entered, I frowned at the stench penetrating through my mask.

 

‘…This is supposed to be an imperial envoy?’

 

Before my eyes was a patient who had received no care at all.

 

One patient lying down.

 

One man sitting in front of the patient.

 

The person who had been nursing the patient also had a haggard appearance.

 

In his twenties, gray hair. Sharp eyes. However, only his bright blue pupils were clear, which was strangely impressive.

 

‘…That person is.’

 

The man who had been nursing looked familiar. He was someone I had seen in my third life when I entered the Imperial Capital.

 

‘Imperial Report Administrator, Sylvester Book.’

 

His face was younger than I remembered. I slowly erased the man’s face from my mind.

 

“Lord Sylvester…! I’ve brought a physician. What the village residents said was true. Someone really did come from the Hei Family Estate. They say this person is a physician from there.”

 

“A physician…? Which one do you mean?”

 

“Pardon? Well… this one here. Ah, the child is said to be his daughter.”

 

At the knight’s introduction, the man called Sylvester let out a hollow laugh.

 

Then he rummaged through his pouch and put glasses on his face.

 

“Now that’s done, please leave. I’d like to have a word with the physician.”

 

“Ah, but… we need to guard you both!”

 

“It’s fine. He’s going to die at this rate anyway, so does that matter? Leave immediately. You’ll need to beg for your lives to be spared too, won’t you.”

 

“Ah…”

 

The man called Sylvester’s tone was cold and sharp, but for some reason the knights looked moved and hurriedly left.

 

‘Why do they look so unreliable for wearing Imperial Knight uniforms.’

 

The Imperial Knights I remembered were all completely inflexible people.

 

Even when they barged into Lord Rederick’s room, they had that impression, so that Sylvester must be the cause.

 

“I apologize for causing such a commotion.”

 

For someone at the level of an imperial envoy, he could have acted arrogantly, but the man maintained a polite tone and respectful speech.

 

Skin spots that clearly seemed to indicate illness. However, his eyes were clear and direct.

 

“So which of you should I address as Physician?”

 

Though he asked which one, Sylvester’s gaze was directed toward me.

 

I wasn’t particularly surprised.

 

I was just a little impressed. I only thought, this person is still the same.

 

‘He guessed correctly in the 3rd round too. He had many questions whenever he saw me.’

 

When no one answered, Sylvester let out a small sigh as if tired.

 

“I seem to have asked a difficult question.”

 

“Haha… If it’s not rude, may I speak first?”

 

“That’s fine. I’ve seen that person before. Count Rederick, you were unconscious from illness though. Do you remember waking up briefly to greet me?”

 

“Yes, I remember.”

 

“Your mental strength is impressive. My superior can’t even remember his own name now.”

 

Sylvester lightly looked Count Rederick up and down.

 

“Congratulations on your recovery. The Hei Family’s physician is indeed different.”

 

“Haha…”

 

“But is it okay for you to move around? You’re not worried about reinfection, I see.”

 

Despite the direct tone, Count Rederick didn’t panic and agreed.

 

“Yes, the physician here told me not to worry about reinfection once I recovered. He’s an amazing person.”

 

I told him he didn’t need to follow, but he insisted on coming. This must be why he came.

 

“So I’d like to know which person is so amazing.”

 

“Haha, well…”

 

“Fine. Since getting an introduction seems unlikely, I’ll greet you first. Sylvester Book. Imperial Secretariat. Currently traveling as an imperial envoy on His Majesty’s orders.”

 

After finishing his introduction, Sylvester turned his gaze toward the patient lying in bed.

 

He was a middle-aged man who appeared about 20 years older than Sylvester.

 

Clearly hovering between life and death.

 

“This is my superior, Detlef Grote. Director of the Imperial Secretariat. He was also traveling as an imperial envoy with me. Though this journey might be his last.”

 

The last words were meaningful.

 

The man who remained utterly calm while hinting at his superior’s death continued speaking.

 

“The long-missing Hei Bihu, who was once the Hei Family’s guard dog and assassination king, couldn’t possibly return as a physician…”

 

Blue eyes turned toward me.

 

“So unbelievably, this young lamb must be the amazing physician.”

 

This was somewhat surprising.

 

What surprised me wasn’t that he correctly guessed my identity without prejudice, though that was surprising too.

 

Rather, I was surprised by how he referred to Dad.

 

“Assassination king…?”
