The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

 

Chapter 89

 

Usually, epidemic treatment is difficult with just one physician’s power alone.

 

So they assign one intermediate or advanced physician with several junior physicians or trainees under them.

 

‘All the surviving trainees and unqualified physicians here are terrible.’

 

Since Lord Rederick said he called for people, I can only hope those people arrive quickly.

 

Only Dad was beside me, while Uncle and Uncle were away doing tasks I had assigned them separately.

 

It was only around sunset that I could finally straighten my back.

 

‘Ah, I’m exhausted…’

 

I went around the village first taking care of those who were on the verge of death. Then I classified the patients.

 

Tomorrow, full-scale treatment is scheduled to begin, and Lord Rederick says the people he requested will come tomorrow.

 

It would be good if things progressed quickly as he promised.

 

In the evening, while I was organizing medicinal materials in my room, Uncle appeared.

 

“Knock knock. Niece~ Uncle just heard about yesterday’s story, you know?”

 

“Yesterday’s story?”

 

Uncle, who appeared after finishing his mission, suddenly brought up yesterday’s story.

 

“Can Uncle borrow Dad for a bit?”

 

Then he completely snatched away Dad, who had been silently staying by my side, and left.

 

Actually, Dad didn’t want to go, but it seemed like the two would fight inside the house, so I told Dad to go.

 

“If you two fight, I absolutely won’t go back until you return. I’ll only keep Uncle Poo by my side.”

 

“Ah, okay okay. Promise.”

 

“…Fine then.”

 

So Uncle and Dad briefly left their posts, and Uncle came as a substitute to stay by my side.

 

But he was rather just getting in the way and being annoying.

 

“Hey, can I help with this too? Should I wash it for you?”

 

“Uncle Poo.”

 

“Huh?”

 

“I want to eat the bread they made for me at the second house I went to earlier.”

 

“…Suddenly?”

 

Uncle said that but still got up from his seat.

 

Brother Gyewon knows well where it is.”

 

“Alright. I’ll be back quickly, so wait. Being such a bother, tsk.”

 

Only after Uncle left did I massage my ears. Ugh, nagging nagging, really.

 

Now I feel like I can live.

 

Brother Gyewon probably won’t go along but will likely just give directions. It’ll be quiet in the meantime.

 

I need to finish all the tasks that require concentration now. I was sorting medicinal materials for a while when I suddenly stood up.

 

I opened the bag on the bed.

 

“Raon.”

 

The white fox’s ears perked up. Since yesterday, she hasn’t wanted to come out of the bag, so I just left her be.

 

“It’s okay to come out.”

 

When I held the baby fox, she quickly burrowed into my arms. I could feel her trembling being transmitted directly to me.

 

‘She does this whenever she comes out of the bag.’

 

Is she anxious? Actually, I was also confused in one corner of my heart thinking about this child.

 

‘So… you’re saying she was actually born between the Emperor and an Eastern Continent woman, and she could become human?’

 

I still couldn’t believe Sylvester’s story. Especially since it was something I’d never heard of even in the original work.

 

‘But there’s one thing I can guess…’

 

They said the Crown Prince had a younger sibling. But it was a prince who had never appeared and was only known to be dead.

 

That’s this Raon?

 

“Can you actually talk?”

 

“Kyu?”

 

“Were you human? Is that why I could diagnose you and treat you?”

 

Yesterday I couldn’t say this because the child seemed so shocked.

 

The baby fox looked at me quietly with golden eyes.

 

She just tilted her head.

 

‘…She’s definitely just a fox.’

 

Really, if I hadn’t known that my ability worked on her, I wouldn’t have believed it.

 

‘Were there beastkin in this world too?’

 

I should hold Raon in my arms and comfort her. That’s what I was thinking when.

 

Bang bang!

 

“You cannot enter!”

 

“Oh come on, I just want to see the physician for a moment! You said she was coming today! How dare you, how long must I wait!”

 

I heard a familiar voice.

 

It was Detlef’s voice, Gilberg’s superior. A voice full of arrogance.

 

Brother Gyewon was blocking him, but he was still just a child with immature judgment.

 

He’s probably wondering if it’s okay to use force.

 

I hurried toward the door but stopped.

 

Wait, I’m still holding Raon in my arms!

 

“The physician is away!”

 

“Don’t lie to me! You cunning thing, just a little warrior. Where would she go at this hour!”

 

Without realizing it, I rushed to the wardrobe. Inside the wardrobe were bed sheets and blankets.

 

‘Ugh, I didn’t even think of this. What’s this sudden situation?’

 

I buried myself in the thin blanket and waited quietly. Raon was with me in my arms.

 

Thump thump.

 

My heart was racing.

 

Slam!

 

“Look, I just want to speak with her briefly! Don’t interfere with me anymore. Do you know who I am?!”

 

Through the gap in the wardrobe door, I could see Detlef who had opened the door and barged in. Next to him, I could also see Brother Gyewon, who seemed to be barely containing his anger.

 

Detlef seemed surprised to see the empty room.

 

“What? Where did they go?”

 

“…Didn’t you say the Physician had stepped out for a moment?”

 

Should I have not left Uncle behind if I knew this would happen?

 

No. If only that Uncle had been here, there definitely would have been a violent incident. It would be troublesome to hit an imperial envoy.

 

“Ahem… Wait, the lamp being lit means they were here just moments ago, doesn’t it?”

 

Detlef, who said this, strode forward, and it happened to be in the direction of the wardrobe.

 

Damn it.

 

“…We can’t get caught. If we get caught.”

 

I was muttering almost soundlessly when.

 

“…The Physician really, truly hates it when people touch their belongings. Don’t you still need to receive treatment, Imperial Envoy?”

 

At Brother Gyewon’s calm voice, Detlef’s footsteps stopped.

 

His hand also stopped in front of the wardrobe.

 

‘Right, why are you trying to open this?’

 

Please leave, hurry up and leave.

 

At this moment, I wished I had the ability to use magic so I could become invisible with Raon.

 

I wanted to teleport or something.

 

“Ahem, even if you really have something to say. How impudent, chattering so much.”

 

“Yes, I will definitely let the Physician know that you came.”

 

Hurry up and leave!

 

I was anxiously biting my lips when.

 

‘…Light?’

 

I saw a gentle light before my eyes. I was startled and quickly lowered my head. It was light flowing from Raon.

 

Though gentle, it was so bright that I squinted, and I felt Raon escaping from my arms.

 

‘No, if you go out here, we’ll be caught!’

 

Without thinking, I grabbed onto something, which seemed like Raon’s tail.

 

The soft fur transformed into a different texture.

 

“I want to wait here?”

 

Detlef’s words no longer reached my ears. Detlef’s back visible through the gap in the wardrobe door no longer entered my vision.

 

‘What kind of situation is this?’

 

I could no longer… be surprised because of Detlef.

 

I swallowed my breath.

 

I covered my mouth tightly with my hand.

 

What I could barely see in the faint light seeping through the door gap was the figure of a young boy.

 

‘Raon…?’

 

The light was so dim that I couldn’t see his face. However, this much was certain.

 

His build was similar to mine or maybe one or two years older.

 

A young boy blinking his large eyes while looking at me.

 

…Anyone could see this was a situation where a fox had transformed into a human.
