Chapter 59

The Terminal Baby Doctor Doesn’t Hide That He’s a Genius

The expressions of the students were divided.

“If I were to guess, not all of them were involved with the poison—maybe only one or two cooperated?”

Even the student who looked deep in thought was part of the same group.

“Remarkable.”

Dad said it with a face that didn’t look surprised at all. It was almost like a robot speaking.

It seemed like he was going to keep up the act…

Might as well be funny, like before.

Earlier, when he laughed, it seemed like everyone, regardless of age or gender, had collapsed from laughter.

“Right… the idea that a doctor would poison a patient to kill them is absurd.”

Here, I genuinely frowned, as if this was completely incomprehensible and unforgivable.

This is serious.

Damn it.

Poison a patient just to mess with me?

“The doctor has taken the oath.”

In this world, all doctors and pharmacists take an oath similar to the Hippocratic Oath.

The contents aren’t exactly the same but are quite similar.

One clause states:

[Even if requested, I shall not give any deadly substance to anyone, including pregnant women with a fetus.]

Deadly substances are forbidden, and poison is absolutely prohibited.

“No doctor who has taken a sacred oath would do that. So it’s strange.”

I stared at the two remaining patients.

“If these two patients also have poison in their bodies, that would be strange, right?”

At this, the reactions of the five patients were split.

The remaining patients went pale, while those who had been treated sighed in relief.

Meanwhile, the murmuring of the crowd grew louder.

“…Poison? All the patients that Dr. Feiman brought?”

“But Dr. Miracle doesn’t have a reason to lie, right?”

These whispers wouldn’t stop until Feiman’s innocence was proven—or unless the allegations were confirmed.

The two patients who had been hoping for Feiman’s treatment panicked.

“D-Doctor! D-Does that mean we’re going to die?!”

“P-Please save us! Please treat us too!”

Even in this chaotic situation, Feiman showed no reaction.

‘Any idea to survive?’

I glanced at Feiman, who looked pale and speechless, and calmed the patients.

“With this poison, if a catalyst is present, it manifests. That means it’s obvious—you won’t die.”

Of course, the poison would eventually manifest, but now they probably intended to use a catalyst.

It’s a poison that reacts immediately when a certain scent is detected.

“Eh? I-I’m ignorant, so I don’t understand. Please treat us!”

It wasn’t hard for me to explain the medical knowledge in a way that everyone here could understand.

“The catalyst here refers to a certain fruit.”

If this fruit is triggered, the smell doesn’t affect ordinary people.

But anyone who has ingested the poison will react, vomit blood, and die instantly.

And this poison spreads throughout the body and disappears within ten minutes.

‘By the time an autopsy is performed, there’ll be no trace of poison—only the disease remains.’

It’s perfect for eliminating a target.

For this reason, it has historically been one of the poisons most feared by noble families with complicated succession or the royal family.

I learned about it in books too.

‘I’ve been falsely accused because of this poison before, so I know it well.’

So what did I do?

I treated the patients before the poison could kill them.

Even if the poison manifested, it’s still my victory.

I now focused on Jeok Yunha, who had been observing so far. I gestured at the two remaining patients.

“Let another doctor examine the two remaining patients. The poison can still be detected through testing.”

Once the poison manifests, it becomes undetectable, but before that, it can be detected.

Because it’s such a potent poison, methods for testing it exist. It’s actually easy to detect through testing.

“Hurry up and test them. The same poison should show up.”

“W-Wait a moment!”

Seeing this, Feiman hurriedly raised his hand.

“Wait, hold on. This is unfair…!”

“Hmm? How strange!”

Jeok Yunha, who had been listening with interest, interrupted.

“You know, until recently, I knew a herbalist named ‘Kanin’?”

Her eyes sparkled, seemingly focused on something. That sister’s switch must have been flipped again.

“Wow! I recently visited and found something like this…”

From somewhere in her arms, Jeok Yunha pulled out a bright red fruit.

It had a unique shape with black spots.

“This is the fruit Dr. Fei mentioned, right?”

“Yes.”

“Strange… hasn’t Kanin been close with Feiman recently?”

Wow, even I would get a little jealous hearing that.

“Jeok Yunha, how did you get this?”

Feigning ignorance, I asked. Jeok Yunha held the fruit up with excitement.

“Good question! There was a fire at that house today, and I helped put it out. And… I found this there?”

I wondered how she managed to find and grab the fruit in such a busy moment.

She winked at me and mouthed something briefly:

‘Uncles…?’

Apparently, my older and younger uncles found it and brought it. How did they know to take it?

‘Wow, my lucky ones… no, my brave ones worked hard!’

I swallowed my laughter and buried my face in my dad’s leg. He immediately picked me up.

“Come on, hurry. Let’s go.”

“…Are you crying?”

“No, what? I’m laughing so hard I might die…!!”

“…”

I got a bit excited.

“There are hardly any moments in my life where I didn’t solve something alone, and this is such a satisfying one!”

At my little whisper, Dad pressed my head with his hand. My face was squished.

Ugh, can’t breathe.

“Now, laugh as much as you want and work on your abs.”

Abs? What abs?

A small whisper continued.

“From now on, you’ll laugh so much it’ll hurt your stomach.”

…What a strange way to encourage someone.

A little later, the situation ended as it was.

Even though Feiman was close to his limit, he finally began protesting, as if having a fit, claiming it wasn’t true.

Of course, no one believed a doctor shouting about unfairness like a mad dog.

“Oh, by the way, I’m protecting ‘Kanin.’ Should I let you see it?”

The moment Jeok Yunha said this, one of Feiman’s students collapsed to his knees and begged, forehead to the ground:

“I’m sorry! M-My master told me to do it!”

The speed at which he abandoned his master was top-tier.

Well, it’s natural if you want to save yourself, right?

After that, things moved quickly.

The public opinion turned, and even the charge of insolence was applied.

Anyone who had even briefly defended Feiman immediately became part of the crowd criticizing him further.

Watching a mid-level doctor get scolded was quite entertaining.

Me? Of course, I didn’t hold back.

“Throw away your license like trash.”
