Eric was utterly exhausted.When he reached the rooftop, he looked at Ruth and said, "Trust me, every illness has a solution. I checked with the people in King City—hormone injections are indeed one of the options."I'll also start researching as soon as possible to find a cure. If, and I'm saying if, there's absolutely no solution, then you can consider ending your life, okay?"Ruth thought for a long time.It seemed like she was struggling internally.After what felt like an eternity, she finally nodded, agreeing not to jump.Eric couldn't believe that a casual pulse check almost caused Ruth to end her life.If Ruth had really jumped, Eric would have been a sinner.Finally, things settled down again.Ruth was still in a low mood, but at least she wasn't suicidal anymore.Lora had wanted to chat with Eric, but she hadn't expected to encounter such a situation.-After arriving at the Williams residence for dinner, Sylvia arranged for a driver to take Lora back.Ruth went

"Eric, what exactly are we looking for?" Pierce inquired.Eric set down the book he was holding and picked up another one. "We're looking for a small booklet, slightly larger than a palm, which contains records of various rare and difficult cases my mentor encountered and dealt with.""It includes a case of Gender Reversal Disorder, which resembles Ruth's condition."Pierce nodded and started searching as well.Before long, Ruth joined in the search.They had been looking since they arrived and continued until dusk when they finally found the booklet.Eric opened it and scanned the contents for a while. "This is it! Gender Reversal Disorder, no doubt about it!"Pierce and the others looked over to see that the booklet's page contained small writing: Gender Reversal Disorder, neither male nor female.[This condition isn't referring to effeminate men or eunuchs—it means not being either a man or a woman.[A person might appear female but can't bear children and lacks the necessa

Feeling the eyes of everyone on him, Eric clapped his hands and said, "Don't be so tense. There is definitely a solution."Upon hearing this, the group let out a collective sigh of relief.When Eric said there was a way, it usually meant there wasn't much of a problem.Eric continued. "We'll start with a month of acupuncture and medication, then we'll see how it goes."He had a method in mind but couldn't guarantee the outcome.He decided not to use the methods recorded in Orion's books for now. Instead, he made adjustments based on his own knowledge and Ruth's physical condition.In Eric's philosophy, if medicine wasn't necessary, he preferred not to use it. However, Ruth's situation was somewhat severe.Lionel exhaled deeply. "Eric, thank you so much."He was extremely grateful to Eric.If his daughter wasn't whole, he couldn't imagine what would become of the McClain family. She was his only daughter, after all.In a way, Eric was also saving the McClain family.Without s

Ruth felt like she was going to have insomnia.She thought Eric might not be capable, but what were those sounds every night?-On the third morning, Eric prepared medicine for Ruth and then went out with Sylvia, leaving Ruth alone at home.Besides the daily medicine treatment, it was quite boring. The time was short, and Eric wasn't sure if there would be any effect, so he could only observe slowly.Over the past few days, various parties from Salt City called every day, asking when Eric and Sylvia would return.Each time, the answer was about a month.They needed to wait until Ruth recovered before making any plans.The couple was chatting with Grace at the Montgomery residence when Eric's phone rang.Seeing it was Andy calling, Eric answered. "Andy."On the other end, Andy swallowed and said, "Eric, there's trouble with the new mayor!"He sounded worried.Judging by his tone, he seemed to be struggling to cope. After all, Andy was only the founder and COO of the Innova G

In the morning, Eric prepared medicine for Ruth.After having breakfast with Sylvia, they hurried to work at the Innova Group.The Williams family was bustling with activity. Amelia and the driver had just returned after dropping Yvette off at kindergarten.Seeing Ruth sitting on the sofa, Amelia thought for a moment before sitting next to her. "I heard you’re actually a man? Is that true?"A few days ago, such a comment would have hit Ruth hard. She might have burst into tears or even yelled at Amelia. But now, she saw a glimmer of hope.These past few days, her mood had improved considerably.Ruth understood Amelia’s meaning and nodded, starting to cry softly. "Mrs. Williams, you’re right. I never imagined that after being a woman for so many years, I’d suddenly turn out to be a man. The hospital said that my chromosomes show I'm a man."And I can’t have children. I might even grow a beard..."As she spoke, tears streamed down her face. Of course, it was all for Amelia to see
