Book 2 : She Becomes Glamorous After the Engagement

Chapter 7

Chapter 627: Whose Problem?!

Nora stared at Mrs. Livingstone and said, “She has no problem.”

Mrs. Livingstone was stunned. She did not expect this answer, so she asked again, “What do you mean no problem? If there’s no problem, why can’t she get pregnant?”

Nora looked at Helen and asked, “Is your family blessed with sons?”

When Helen heard this, she glanced at Mrs. Livingstone and nodded.

Mrs. Livingstone sneered. “Back then, our family took a liking to her family because they were blessed with sons. That’s why we married her into our family! Her elder sister gave birth

to triplets! Her second sister was even more ridiculous. She gave birth to triplets and even quadruplets! Our family doesn’t yearn for those anymore. Can’t she at least give birth to one? But it has been three years, and there’s not even a shadow of a child! What a good-for-nothing! Or are you a mutant of your family’s genes?”

Mrs. Livingstone was really anxious.

When Helen entered the family, she had wanted to hug six children in three years. It was simply perfect. It could also break the curse of their family’s third generation.

Therefore, when they first got married, she had been caring toward Helen. The two of them had lived harmoniously for half a year. Half a year later, there was still no change in Helen’s stomach. Her attitude changed drastically. She began to urge her and found all kinds of recipes for her to eat.

Helen lowered her head.

She did not know what was wrong with her or why she could not conceive.

She had seen many doctors, taken many drugs, and even used many methods, but none of them worked.

She was already trying for test tube babies.

But the procedure for the test tube baby was too painful.

She had to take ovulation jabs every month.

As she was thinking, she heard Nora say, “Mrs. Livingstone, It needs two people to conceive a child. It’s not her fault.”

When she said this, Mrs. Livingstone was stunned.

She reacted for a moment before suddenly understanding. She was stunned. “W-What do you mean? Are you suspecting that there’s something wrong with my son?” Helen also looked up suddenly.

She bit her lip.

In fact, she had raised this question a few times over the years, but Mrs. Livingstone would always mock her and interrupt her. “There’s nothing wrong with my son. You can’t give birth, so you are blaming the man? Heh, he only provides the sperm. It must be your problem!”

She had seen many doctors. Most of the doctors had persuaded her to let her husband come with them, but Mrs. Livingstone and her husband never listened to her. They even mocked her every time.

Her husband sneered and said, “I got a girl pregnant five years ago. If not for her status being low and her being with me just for my money, I would have married her long ago. Now, you actually dare to doubt me! Ridiculous!”

Therefore, the Livingstones had never admitted that there was anything wrong with him, and they had never made her husband see the doctor.

She looked at Mrs. Livingstone and bit her lip. “Grandma, let him come and get checked. Miss Smith’s medical skills are superb. Just by taking my pulse, she could tell that my family is blessed with sons.”

“Shut up!” Mrs. Livingstone shouted angrily.

Helen bit her lip and mustered her courage to say, “Grandma, I’ve suffered a lot all these years for the sake of bearing a child, but I’ve never said a word about those hardships! But don’t you want a child? If it’s really about my husband, can’t you let Miss Smith treat him as soon as possible?!”

These words made Mrs. Livingstone narrow her eyes. Beside her, Mrs. Hunt said, “Helen is right. Ask your grandnephew to come over! Miss Smith is Dr. Zabe’s disciple and the godly surgeon, Anti. If there’s no problem, then of course, it’ll be a happy ending. If there’s really a problem, it’ll be easier to treat him as soon as possible!”

Mrs. Livingstone was silent for a moment. When she saw that even Mrs. Hunt had spoken, she could only say, “Even if I called him over, he wouldn’t come!”

Mrs. Hunt frowned. “Tell him I want to see him!”

Mrs. Hunt was Justin’s grandmother and was deeply respected. The other party did not dare not to ignore her command.

Mrs. Livingstone nodded with a smile, then glared at Helen. She picked up her phone and walked to the side to make a call.

After she went to the side, Nora looked at Mrs. Hunt.

Mrs. Hunt sat there looking very weak and a little pale. No matter what the reason, she was really good to Pete. Nora walked to her and did not say anything. She held her hand and felt her pulse.

Mrs. Hunt was stunned.

She stared at Nora.

The woman had her almond-shaped eyes closed, and her long eyelashes were hanging on her face. She was obedient, sensible, and beautiful. When she had her eyes closed, she looked like a quiet fairy on a beautiful portrait.

This appearance indeed made one’s heart soften.

She was thinking when Nora suddenly opened her eyes. A hint of coldness shot out from them. It washed away the gentleness from before and she became a little more firm and indifferent.

Mrs. Hunt quickly retracted her gaze and heard her tsk. “Don’t worry. You won’t die anytime soon.”

Mrs. Hunt: “…”

After getting so old, hearing things about life and death was the last thing she wanted. Nora’s words were really stabbing her heart.

Mrs. Hunt snorted. “There are so many things happening at home, how can I not worry? So, can you get married sooner and raise that illegitimate son of Justin as your own? That way, I’ll be fine too.”

Before she could finish speaking, Nora suddenly turned around and walked to the fish tank in the room.

Mrs. Hunt: “…”

So… her obedience and sensibility earlier were all fake!

Helen saw Nora walking over alone. She thought about it and followed beside her.

She whispered, “Thank you.”

Nora raised her eyebrows. “It’s just my job.”

Helen smiled bitterly. “I’ve seen so many doctors. Every time they raise this question, I ask them to tell my mother-in-law, but she wouldn’t agree. You’re the only one who can persuade her.”

When Nora heard this, she gave her a heads up. “There might not be anything wrong with your husband. Maybe it’s because of psychological reasons that you weren’t able to get pregnant for a long time.”

Helen nodded. “I know. I just wanted him to get checked.”

Half an hour later, a fierce argument came from outside the door. A man was shouting, “You called me over just to get me a check-up? Mom, I think Helen is crazy. How can I be sick?”

Mrs. Livingstone whispered, “I also know that you’re not sick, but that Miss Smith is a divine doctor. You should let her take a look. This is also your grandaunt’s wish!”

Hearing this, the man sneered. “Sure, let’s check. If there’s nothing wrong with me, then our family can let Helen leave! She can’t even have a child, is she even a woman?”

A man in his mid-twenties was wearing a suit, but he looked very greasy. He said this as he walked in.

After entering, he looked at Nora.

He strode over and sneered. He reached out and let Nora take his pulse. “Helen, you just don’t want to admit that you have a problem, right? Alright, I’ll make you give up today!”

Chapter 628: Diagnosis Results!

Thomas was the only son of the Livingstones’ third generation. He had been spoiled since a baby.

He was usually very arrogant at home. The only child in Old Madam Hunt’s family was also very spoiled, which made Thomas even more arrogant.

Back then, when he married Helen, other than the Stewart's being famous for their sons, it was also because Helen had a timid personality and could let Thomas have his way.

After Thomas roared at Helen, he looked at Nora in disdain. “Alternative medicine? Is this reliable? Let me tell you, alternative medicine is a sham.”

Mrs. Livingstone hurriedly said, “Don’t speak nonsense. Miss Smith is not only an alternative medicine doctor, but she’s also a famous modern medicine doctor! Furthermore, she’s your future sister-in-law!”

Thomas and Justin were of the same generation. Although their relationship was a lot more distant, Old Madam Hunt’s love for her family made Thomas come over often when he was young.

Therefore, Thomas curried favor with Justin. When he heard this, he immediately smiled. “Oh, my sister-in-law! Look, we became friends after a fight.”

Nora: “…”

Not only was this person spoiled, but even his personality was bad.

She took Thomas’s pulse seriously.

Thomas kept on nagging. “Ms. Smith, take a good look at my pulse. When you’re done, tell this woman that I’ll definitely be fine. Make her give up on asking me to see the doctor all the time! I’m fine! She always finds a reason to find faults with me. Heh, isn’t she just afraid that I’ll divorce her?”

By the time he finished speaking, Nora had already opened her eyes.

Thomas hurriedly asked, “Ms. Smith, how is it?”

Nora stared at his expression for a while and asked a few regular questions. When she was done, she said with a serious expression, “Indeed, the problem is with you.”

These words stunned Mrs. Livingstone. She stepped forward nervously and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Nora said, “He has asthenospermia. It means that his sperm has low motility. That’s why he has not been able to impregnate Helen for so many years.”

Mrs. Livingstone’s eyes widened. “Can… can this be treated?”

Nora nodded. “Of course.” She looked down and picked up the paper. “I’ll prescribe a few doses of medicine. He must take them exactly as I prescribe. He should be good in a month.”

Mrs. Livingstone nodded and asked, “What’s wrong with him? How did it come to this? Our Thomas made his classmate pregnant at the age of 20! He didn’t have this problem in the

past!”

Nora immediately looked at Thomas with a faint smile and said, “Oh, it’s probably because he did it too frequently!”

As soon as she said this, Mrs. Livingstone subconsciously looked at Helen and scolded, “Vixen! Are you digging out my son’s aura every night? Why are you so shameless?”

Helen’s face turned red from the scolding. She said, “Grandma, Thomas rarely comes back while I stay at home. How can I possibly…”

Ever since she went to the doctor, in order to make Helen pregnant, the Livingstones had asked Thomas to come back every month during her ovulation period.

He was indeed rarely at home.

Mrs. Livingstone was stunned. Before she could react, Helen’s eyes were red as she looked at Thomas. “Y-You haven’t broken up with Cecelia yet, have you? Last time I found out, you promised me that if it ever happened again, we would get a divorce!”

Thomas pursed his lips.

Only then did Mrs. Livingstone realize something. She slapped Thomas. “How can you be with such a promiscuous woman? You’re still doing it so frequently. You really don’t know how to keep it in your pants! Who is this Cecelia?! She seduced you until your body was sucked dry! You have to break up with that vixen!”

With that, she turned back to comfort Helen. “Helen, don’t fuss about it with Thomas. He’s young. He likes to play around. This isn’t a big deal. Why are you talking about divorce? But don’t worry, I’ll definitely watch over him well! I guarantee that he’ll drink a month’s worth of medicine and then you two can have a child!”

Helen bit her lip and sobbed. “I, I want to go home.”

Mrs. Livingstone nodded. “Okay, okay. Let’s go home. We’ll talk when we get back. We’ll stop fooling around outside~” Helen shook her head. “I want to go back to my mother’s house.”

At this moment, she felt aggrieved and could no longer hold it in.

It had been so many years. Because she could not give birth, her maiden family was disrespected by the Livingstones. It seemed unreasonable.

Her mother had even secretly given her all kinds of medicines. She even promised that she would give birth to three children in one pregnancy!

But it turned out that all those grievances were for nothing!

It was not that she could not give birth at all. It was all because of Thomas!

The reason Thomas could not impregnate her was not because of his health, but because he was doing it too frequently with someone else. The word too frequently hurt Helen, and she felt that she was simply petty to the bone.

But how could Mrs. Livingstone let her go?

Knowing that it was not Helen’s fault, she continued to coax her.

However, at this moment, Thomas sneered. “Alright, have you played enough?!”

Helen was taken aback.

Thomas pointed at Nora and said, “Did you two plan this? You want to push the blame on me! Hehe, I’m a very strong man. How can I have such a problem?! You guys are really lousy at acting!”

Nora frowned.

Mrs. Livingstone was even more stunned. “Thomas, what nonsense are you talking about? Miss Smith is Dr. Zabe’s disciple!”

Thomas sneered. “What disciple? I think it’s just a scam! Mom, I already said that alternative medicine is a sham! And Helen wants a divorce? Then let’s get a divorce! How can a barren woman have the face to stay at home?!”

Mrs. Livingstone frowned. “Don’t talk nonsense, Miss Smith.”

“She’s lying to you!”

Thomas raised his chin and said proudly, “I have evidence!”

Mrs. Livingstone was stunned. “What evidence?”

Chapter 629: The Real Reason!

Thomas’ gaze swept across everyone present. He sneered, “Cecelia is pregnant!”

The whole living room was silent.

Everyone looked at him. Even Mrs. Livingstone was stunned. She subconsciously uttered, “Really?”

Thomas nodded. “Of course. We just found out during a checkup. I was with Cecelia when you called me just now! Mom, you don’t have to beg this woman anymore. You can finally have the grandchild that you wanted!”

Then, he looked at Helen and gave her a mocking smile. “Tsk, tsk. I really didn’t expect you to spin such lies just so you could shirk your responsibilities! Heh!”

Helen bit her lip and looked at Nora. Her voice shook as she asked, “Can people with asthenospermia still reproduce?”

Nora kept quiet for a moment before she replied, “Without medical treatment, chances of reproduction are very low.”

It was so low that it was almost negligible.

However, it was indeed still possible.

As soon as she said that, Thomas sneered, “Wow, so now you’re going to use probability to mislead us? I’ll tell you this—Cecelia was also pregnant a year ago! It was just that I didn’t want the child then, but she’s pregnant again now! How are you going to explain that? If there’s really something wrong with me, then how am I able to impregnate Cecelia so many times? Also, I’ve never felt that I couldn’t do it! On the contrary, Helen, you’re so loud in bed every night, yet look at what has happened. Just who is it that’s infertile, you or me?”

Helen: “!!”

She flushed completely crimson.

Why was he saying such things in public? Besides, she had only done that to compliment him. To be honest, the man really was very average in bed.

But when they had first gotten married, he simply kept asking her about it and kept forcing her to answer even when she didn’t feel anything. As a result, she could only pretend to feel it.

Helen shook her head hard and tried not to think about those disgusting things.

Yes, that was right. The monthly s****l intercourse was a form of torture and something disgusting to her.

In Thomas, she could only see a man’s self-satisfaction and inexplicable self-confidence.

She clenched her fists.

The situation had suddenly reversed. In the living room, Mrs. Livingstone had just been coaxing Helen a moment ago, for fear that she would really divorce Thomas; yet now she suddenly looked like a victorious rooster. She lifted her chin, looked at Nora, and then let out a sarcastic laugh. “Asthenospermia? What nonsense. The way I see it, Ms. Smith also has moments where she makes mistakes in her medical diagnoses, right?”

Nora broke into a frown.

Mrs. Livingstone snorted and looked at Helen. “Didn’t you want to return to your parents? Sure, I’ll send you there! I’ll get the chauffeur to take you home right away! You can’t even lay an egg after marrying into the Livingstones for three years. What’s the use of having you here? I want my own grandchild! Divorce! The two of you must divorce!”

After speaking, she looked outside and said, “Where’s the chauffeur? C’mon, take Helen home right away! While you’re there, tell her family members that the Livingstones don’t want an infertile woman in the family!”

“Yes, ma’am.”

The Livingstones’ chauffeur replied. Then, he entered and walked up to Helen. Helen bit down hard on her lip.

A moment later, she lowered her gaze and then looked at Nora. She said, “Sorry, I’ve implicated you.”

Then, she left.

After she left, Mrs. Livingstone directed the line of fire at Nora again. She said, “Ms. Smith, in my opinion, you must have lived abroad for too long. You haven’t even mastered half of Dr. Zabe’s medical skills! How can you misdiagnose us?! Don’t worry, though, I won’t publicize this. After all, if word spreads, it’s the Hunts who will be embarrassed. After all, not only are you the young lady of the Smith's, but also the future mistress of the Hunt's!

“Also, you shouldn’t be so arrogant. After all, we, the older generation, have so much life experience that you can learn from!

“Sigh, just because they have been touted about so much, some people end up naturally feeling that they are so impressive, when in fact, they are so unremarkable! To think they can even misdiagnose someone as having asthenospermia, yet they can’t even see the problem with an infertile woman! Ms. Smith, you’d best not provide medical consultations anymore, lest you misdiagnose them with some kind of illness when they are perfectly healthy, and end up ruining their health! Not everyone is as magnanimous as us to condone your mistakes. Oh, and also~

“You should just stay at home instead of going outside and treating people’s illnesses. How unhygienic is that? You’d best just stay at home and take care of your husband and children instead. You’d be doing a meritorious deed just by grooming the future heir to the Hunt's. Ms. Smith, I’m talking to you. Why are you always using your cell phone? You’re so rude!”

While Mrs. Livingstone was prattling on and on, Nora was staring at her cell phone. She had just hacked into the hospital’s system and found Cecelia’s medical records.

When she read the records, her lips suddenly curled into a smile.
