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.
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 was highly suspicious.How could a normal man endure this?Eric sighed. "Ruth, I'm currently administering acupuncture. How could I possibly pay attention to anything else? No matter how perfect the appearance, it's all just flesh. Haven't we seen flesh before?"Ruth was speechless. "Even though it's all flesh, isn't there a difference? Pork can be good or bad..."Eric remained silent, continuing his acupuncture quietly.In the silence, Ruth could hear a gentle breeze brush against her with each needle Eric inserted. That was the flow of inner energy.Before long, dozens of silver needles were inserted into Ruth's body.Eric glanced at the time. "Lie still for 10 minutes. I'll be back. Don't move."He left Ruth there.Outside, Sylvia had already prepared coffee for everyone.Lionel was a bit impatient. "Eric, how is it?"Eric sat down. "It's not that miraculous. You won't see any effects for the first 10 days or so. It has to be gradual."Bai Ye Jun quickly nodded.He
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
On the plane, Ruth savored a glass of red wine.One of the perks of a private jet was not just the speed but the ability to customize it according to the owner's preferences.Glancing at Eric, Ruth chuckled. "It's not my first time on your plane. I thought there would be at least a dozen beauties on board. Surprisingly, there are none."Coming from a wealthy family, she had seen many people who had gotten rich overnight.Buying a private jet was just routine for them. Some even hired beauty pageant finalists as flight attendants.Were they just flight attendants?Obviously not. There were undoubtedly other deals that would make one blush.Ruth knew Eric was rich and powerful. She assumed he would have some pretty flight attendants on board for the sake of aesthetics.Even if not for aesthetics, they would be excellent for releasing tension."What's so special about beauties?" Eric said, "They're just superficial. By the way, the boss asked you to explain what a Lieutenant Gene
