The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 83

What’s with this menacing yet somewhat rustic title?! I might have heard of family guard dogs before, but.

“…Pointless talk.”

I stared at Dad with sparkling eyes. Wow, he’s flustered. He’s really flustered. Should I ask?

However, my attempt was thwarted. Dad’s hand completely covered my eyes.

“Huaeng, let go. Let go!”

What’s this about, why won’t you show me your expression!

– I’ll tell you later, so focus on the current matter for now.

At those words, I stopped struggling and calmed down.

With one hand holding the bag that Raon was carrying, I pushed Dad’s hand away with effort.

“Well, alright.”

Even I had no intention of speaking casually to an imperial envoy.

“What you want is treatment, right?”

“…So you really are the Physician, I see.”

“Your perception is quite remarkable?”

“It’s more that I know what Hei Bihu looks like.”

Sylvester answered calmly.

“Most people think Dad went missing, so they don’t really know his face.”

“I’m in a special position, you see.”

Sylvester Book.

This person is the heir to ‘Book’, one of the Eight Great Families of the Empire.

Book was a special family that dealt with information, and had a somewhat different nature from other noble families.

However, when it came to treatment, they were the same as other families in actively trying to recruit physicians.

In this world, the number of physicians meant money.

“So what you want is treatment?”

“Yes. For now, at least. It’s still too early to die, you see.”

“What will you give me in return?”

“Pardon?”

Sylvester hesitated for the first time.

The Book family was a place that greedily collected information, and Sylvester was a capable heir in the family business.

The Eight Families could almost all be considered enemies, but there was a reason I didn’t view this person particularly harshly.

Sometime before I died in the 3rd round. The ‘Book’ family was almost half-destroyed by this man’s own hands.

Yes, he was a figure like the 3rd round’s Hei Gyewon, who pulled out the pillars of his own family with his own hands.

“…Weren’t you a physician of the fair and just Hei Family? I heard it was a rule not to discriminate against patients.”

“What’s the point of mentioning a rule that’s already meaningless? Other physicians also get paid, don’t they? We like money too. I like it as well.”

“The story is simple, which is good. How much will it cost?”

“I like money, but I didn’t say I’d take it, did I?”

“…What?”

In the third round, this person was someone I had almost no contact with except when he came to me with questions, but I was well aware of how capable he was.

How could I let this opportunity slip away when I’d met such a big shot like this?

“Grant me what I want.”

“…Let me hear it first.”

“Hmm, is that more important than your life?”

“…”

Considering his actions in the third round, this man definitely wouldn’t want to die right now.

‘Thinking about when I met him during the Imperial Palace entry, he didn’t die here.’

I have no intention of telling him this fact.

“…How about you first show me just how amazing a Physician you are, and then I’ll make my judgment? I might be able to grant you something even more generous.”

At least it meant he would grant my request somehow. I took out the water without hesitation.

It was clean water I had newly received from Uncle, who I’d left at the Deputy Village Chief’s house.

Swoooosh.

As soon as I trapped Sylvester in water, I was shocked. The diagnosis results were absolutely unbelievable.

‘…Crazy, his condition is this serious, so why is he standing there fine? Even talking?’

His internal organs were a mess. To what extent? His sepsis was even worse than that Lord Rederick who had lost consciousness.

Hidden by his shoes, necrosis had even begun at his toes.

‘Wow, isn’t there supposed to be a limit to human willpower?’

He was showing off his extraordinary nature with his whole body. While I was at it, I also diagnosed that man who was supposedly Sylvester’s Superior.

Actually, this unconscious one was in slightly better condition than Sylvester.

Even though his face was deathly pale and he looked like he’d die any moment.

“…How are you enduring this? It must hurt a lot. Especially your armpits and chest.”

“…!!”

Sylvester flinched and placed his hand on his chest.

“I haven’t seen this kind of diagnosis method in a long time either. It’s the most fascinating method I’ve ever seen. What’s the principle behind it?”

Is that really what’s important right now, sir?

You’re going to die soon. How did you survive this in the third round?

Maybe you weren’t here at this time?

“And as for the pain, well. It’s fine. Even if it hurts enough to kill me, I’m confident I won’t die.”

“Huh?”

“But carrying around this kind of illness would obviously be troublesome, so I earnestly request that you treat me.”

From what he’s saying, it seems he has some kind of secret weapon.

“I’ll grant you anything. What do you desire?”

“First, tell me the reason why the imperial envoy came here.”

“What?”

Wariness instantly filled Sylvester’s eyes.

“…Even if it’s a major state secret?”

“If that’s more important than your life, then pass.”

“I can’t tell you the details, but I won’t die even if I don’t get treated here.”

“Then will you continue living with pain that feels like dying would be better?”

I leaned comfortably against Dad’s chest and grinned.

Even in the atmosphere thick with wariness, I spoke clearly and distinctly.

I had briefly gotten caught up in the mood and spoken casually, but had returned to formal speech.

This is why I didn’t actively refuse when Count Lederick insisted on coming along.

“Oh… as a witness? That’s right, Secretary. I’m a Fire Mage so I could feel my life force fading very clearly. If the Physician hadn’t treated me, I probably would have died as early as tomorrow or the day after!”

“Oh… you want me as a witness? Yes, Secretary. As a fire mage, I could feel my life force fading away very clearly. If the physician hadn’t treated me, I probably would have died as early as tomorrow or the day after!”

Why is this Lord speaking so cheerfully again? I didn’t want him to go this far.

“…Fine. When the evidence is right before my eyes, there’s no reason not to believe it.”

Wow, he’s better than our Family Head. That person would push me here demanding proof even when I presented results.

“…Fine. Then how much money will you take?”

Huh? Money? I tilted my head in confusion.
