"She just wants to show off for Lora," someone remarked.Ruth smiled and asked, "Hol. Johnson, can you solve my problem?"Eric was equally puzzled. He glanced at Ruth, his hand still on her pulse. "It's quite strange. I'm starting to question reality. Let me ask you, do you have any brothers?"Ruth smiled. "No, I'm my father's only daughter. Could my problem be related to having brothers?"Eric didn't respond. His brows furrowed deeper, making Ruth uneasy. His expression wasn't one of acting.On the sofa, Sylvia chimed in irritably. "Alright, Eric, stop scaring her. It's not funny at all."Ruth nodded repeatedly. She was indeed frightened.But Eric shook his head. "I'm not scaring her. She really has a problem, and it's a significant one!"He then took out his phone and called Winston. "Hello, Hol. Clarke, are you busy?""Not at all. What's up?""Well, I've encountered a perplexing issue. You've seen a lot, so I need your advice. Can a woman have a man's pulse pattern?""No,
Eric felt quite helpless. After confirming repeatedly, he was sure Ruth was a man. "Congratulations to your father. Suddenly, he has a son now. This matter..."Ruth was absolutely furious!She still thought Eric was joking with her.She touched her lower body and suddenly snapped, "Eric! I'll hammer you to death!"She was clearly a woman, so how could he say she was a man?And so terrifyingly at that!Eric quickly dodged, completely unable to defend himself. He could already imagine how Ruth felt.Sylvia intervened, "Alright, alright, stop fighting. Eric, you too. How can you joke about something like this? She's even wearing light makeup, and now you say she's a man? Are you looking for a beating?"Eric raised his hands. "I'm serious. In holistic medicine, it's called Gender Reversal Disorder. The most direct manifestation in holistic medicine is looking like a woman, but having a man's pulse. In modern medicine, it's called congenital sexual development disorder."If you don
It must be investigated.The doctor's intention was merely to confirm a result. For over a decade, Ruth had never experienced menstruation, and the doctor was almost certain of the diagnosis.Ruth paid a substantial amount of money and requested the hospital to expedite the results, hoping to receive them the same day.The hospital extracted Ruth's genes and sent them for urgent testing. What would normally take several days was resolved by around 3:00 p.m. due to the powerful influence of money.When the results came in, the doctor was stunned for a long time. "Miss McClain, it's confirmed now. Your chromosomes indicate that you should be male, and it's the abnormal chromosomes that have caused you to never have menstruation all these years."Ruth burst into tears, unable to stop them!After all, being a woman for decades and suddenly being told she was a man—how could any woman handle that?The key issue was that men were supposed to have certain features, but Ruth lacked
It wasn't like they were fighting.But she quickly understood, "Waaah! I don't even have a sword!"Lora was exasperated, thinking, 'Sylvia, you're a real beauty! Is this how you console people?"'She wasn't even planning to jump, but with your words, she might just leap.'If you don't know how to console, just don't do it.'She hurried over. "Miss McClain, the doctor said there is a way. It's caused by chromosomal issues leading to abnormal hormone secretion. Hormone injections can likely fix it. Don't lose hope!"Despite her words, she was still pondering what Sylvia meant by sword fighting.Could it really be about fighting?Men fighting and messing around seemed pretty normal.Brandishing swords and sticks also seemed quite normal."Enough, all of you." Ruth, tears streaming down her face, said, "Since I was young, I've felt abnormal. I have a woman's body but none of the other characteristics."Eric is right. I'm just a man. I've accepted my fate! Don't bother with me an
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
No one knew about this matter yet, not even Lionel or Pierce.However, Pierce was aware of Eric and Ruth's whereabouts.Hearing from Eric that they were at the villa in King City, his curiosity was piqued, and he drove over.Seeing Eric searching through the library, Pierce was puzzled. "What is he doing? I heard that if an old doctor has to look up books, it’s quite serious."If even books can't provide the answers, then it's even more concerning! What's going on?"Mentioning it only made things worse, as Ruth burst into tears again.She threw herself into Pierce's arms, sobbing uncontrollably."What’s wrong? What happened?" Pierce felt at a loss, hearing nothing but Ruth's relentless crying.Sylvia sighed deeply. "Big Boss, it seems that Ruth has a rare disorder. Although she's a woman, other examinations indicate she's a man. Eric is trying to find a solution in the books."Pierce was stunned, his mind going blank.'A woman turning into a man? What on earth?'Even with al
"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
Even face-to-face, Pierce was bewildered when he heard the news.As for Lionel, he was even more stunned.Lionel sent a few executives back and immediately took his wife to Eric's place.-In the room.Ruth was lying on the bed, completely naked.Eric's hand had just touched her slender waist when she burst into uncontrollable laughter, almost laughing herself breathless.Eric couldn't help but marvel at Ruth's figure. It was truly exceptional! How could she be a man?"Stop laughing, Ruth." Seeing Ruth laugh nonstop, Eric was at a loss. "At a time like this, you can still laugh. I really admire you."Ruth took a deep breath. "You tickle me when you touch me. How can I not laugh? I can't help it."Eric shook his head helplessly. "Try to hold it in, please!"He reached for her waist again and gave a gentle squeeze, making Ruth laugh once more.Eric was completely exasperated. "With you laughing like this, I can't examine anything properly. Forget it, put your clothes back on.
