The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius
Chapter 93
Hei Biyu answered with bewilderment, as if asking what kind of question that was.
‘Well… rats are dirty and disgusting! They catch not just rats but bugs too!’
Like a child whose pronunciation was slurred, her thoughts seemed short-sighted too.
Through the conversation, Luise became certain that this child didn’t even know she was part of their grand plan.
‘No matter how much she boasts about being a great physician… a child is still a child.’
Luise recalled the voice of the Elder, the old man who had commanded her this morning.
‘Hmm, I’ve changed my mind. If the opportunity arises, kidnap that young Hei Family girl.’
Though it was different from what he’d said last night, she had no choice but to obey. It was an order.
‘I’d rather just kill her.’
The patients under Hei Biyu’s care were recovering at an astonishing rate. There were countless fully recovered patients, and only mild cases remained.
All of this had happened in just a few days since she arrived in this village.
Luise gnawed on her thumb. It had taken her a full 15 years to get this far. What?
‘She’s a child who shouldn’t be left with the Hei Family.’
Right, if she’s too precious to leave with the Hei Family, wouldn’t it be better if she just died? Then no one could have her.
‘This disgustingly reminds me of the tests within the family.’
The way physicians were taught within Sinion was very strict. A method where you were eliminated if you couldn’t beat the child next to you.
Luise already had experience making her rival never wake up again.
‘First, I need to spread the disease again.’
Spreading the disease was easy. Just release the rats. Their luggage was already full of rats.
Since this was such a filthy village, an increase in rats wouldn’t be strange.
What was strange was that those who had set out last night to release rats in the village hadn’t returned.
Sometimes people disappeared to follow the family’s orders, so she didn’t pay much attention to it.
“L-Luise!”
A knight came running to her.
“The Hei Family’s physician has come to see you.”
That little one? Luise frowned but said ‘Show her in.’
Shortly after, Luise faced Hei Biyu, who was being held by a man.
For some reason, unlike the first day, she was being held by a different Hei Family man.
‘Hei Biwon.’
Luise was someone who had heard that name before.
Sinion had long ago educated all those belonging to the family about everything concerning the Hei Family.
Among those things were personal relationships.
A handsome man with a smile that was attractive yet somehow irritating rolled his eyes.
“I have something to ask, so I came.”
“Something to ask?”
Next to Hei Biyu and Hei Biwon stood a hunched man. Judging by the condition of his neck and cheeks, he was a patient infected with the epidemic.
“Well, I encountered a patient with rather unusual symptoms. It would be good if you could take a look together.”
“….”
“It might be a variant, you know?”
Luise smiled inwardly. It was a sneer. Just as I thought.
In the end, she was just a helpless little child. A variant? We’re the ones controlling the disease. Nothing like that has been created or occurred yet.
“Oh my, that’s quite serious. I suppose ordinary symptoms might look different to the eyes of a young physician with rather… limited experience.”
Hei Biwon raised his eyebrows.
He was the quickest to understand the subtle mockery in Luise’s words.
“I’ll gladly take a look.”
“Thank you!”
The child smiled brightly without any guile, as children do. Luise snorted inwardly.
“Then would you wait? I’ll bring my knight and disciples.”
She returned to the barracks and ordered the knight and the junior physician who served as her disciple.
“Prepare the bag containing the rats.”
After making all preparations, she returned to Hei Biyu. Her companions were with her as well.
“Shall we go?”
Thus Luise walked together with Hei Biyu’s group.
“Come to think of it, aren’t you bringing that patient who was beside you earlier?”
“Ah, that person. He said he had business here and asked for directions.”
Ah, I see. Luise thought nothing of it. How long had they walked?
A signal came from behind.
“Um, Master Luise…”
The disciple carrying the bag approached with a hesitant expression and asked.
“Um, I have urgent business, could I follow a little later? My stomach seems to be acting up…”
“What?”
Even knowing it was an act, it was excellent acting that one could easily fall for.
“What a pathetic fool. Hurry up and take care of it, then catch up.”
“Yes, yes!”
The disciple carrying the bag bowed his head and hurriedly ran off somewhere.
“I’ve shown you an embarrassing sight. My disciple is slow-witted, so I’ve made him ask permission for everything…”
Biyu smiled and said it was fine.
How foolish. Luise walked on, sneering inwardly.
How long had they walked?
“How much longer do we have to walk?”
“Ah, we’ve arrived.”
“Huh?”
“I said we’ve arrived.”
Hei Biwon, who had been carrying Hei Biyu, stopped walking.
“Now that I think about it, it doesn’t seem like it’s time for a variant of the disease to appear yet.”
“…What?”
“I think I misread the symptoms too.”
Something was strange.
Hei Biyu, who said she had misread it, showed no apology and had a shameless expression.
“I have something I’m curious about.”
“What exactly are you doing right now?”
So it had been a lie after all, and Luise was furious at the fact that she had been deceived.
How dare that Little One…!
However, Biyu only looked at Luise’s face innocently.
“Have you ever caught this disease yourself?”
“What do you suddenly mean by that? No, you’re not worth talking to. I’m going back.”
The disciple who went to release the rats would have finished their task. Disease would spread through Hei Biyu’s area again.
It was her victory.
“I once thought that if you want to become a great physician, you should personally catch every disease.”
Luise hesitated for just a moment.
‘What kind of crazy talk is this…’
It’s something only a child could say. Catching diseases personally? Then how would a physician’s body and life survive?
“Now I see you’re not a genius of the Hei Family, but rather a somewhat lacking child who gained excessive ability.”
“I’m curious too. Would you still say that if you caught the disease that made the patients suffer?”
“What?”
That was the moment.
“What, what!”
Luise was startled. Hei Biwon, who had been holding Biyu, had grabbed her wrist.
“This is, what, you filthy Oriental Person…!”
“Oh my, why do you all curse the same way? How boring.”
Crackle!
Light lightning struck her body. That wasn’t all.
Lightning that emerged from the air moved back and forth among the Knights, paralyzing them.
“Ugh, urgh, what the hell is this… We’re from Sinion…”
“Don’t worry. I have no intention of killing you at all.”
Luise realized that the gloves had been removed from her hands. Her mask had also been removed.
The child’s face was clearly visible.
“Have you ever thought about how much pain the patients are in?”
“What do you mean…”
What nonsense is she talking about? Why should I, an Advanced Physician, need to know about patients’ pain?
Even without knowing such things, she was a competent physician.
“When you research medicine, you start to think that poison and medicine are ultimately one and the same.”
Hei Biwon set Biyu down on the floor. Hei Biyu toddled over.
“If medicine is what cures illness, then shouldn’t there be poison somewhere that causes illness?”
Even at this point, Luise had no idea what Hei Biyu was talking about.
However, someone came walking steadily toward them. The moment she saw the person floating beside him.
Luise’s eyes widened as if they would tear.
‘That’s…’
It was definitely the disciple who had gone to release the rats. And the person floating the disciple was Hei Bihu.
Wind blew with a whoosh.
“Kyaa, kyaaaah!”
Luise was startled to see a rat floating in front of her face.
“G-get away. Remove it, I said remove it!!”
“Why are you surprised? It’s just a rat.”
Luise raised her head. Her body was still paralyzed from the lightning, so all she could do was widen her eyes.
Her body absolutely wouldn’t move.
“It’s not even poisonous.”
Only then did Luise realize.
‘…Our plan!’
It had definitely been exposed. But how exactly?
Luise’s teeth chattered together.
The rat floating in the wind was slowly approaching. A rat carrying bacteria, personally made by the family.
If it just bit her…
Luise’s face turned pale.
