The Ultimate Reborn Heiress (Scarlett) novel Chapter 105

“Scarlett, what do you mean by that?” Thelma asked.

Scarlett said, “Thelma, your face looks unusually flushed, but your skin tone is also yellow. There are dark shadows under your eyes. Your tongue coating is very thick and white with a hint of yellow. There is also an unusual smell from your mouth. This suggests there may be a problem in your intestines. I recommend going to the hospital for a colonoscopy. It seems to be in an early stage, so it should be easier to treat.”

By this time, Yvonne was almost done eating. When she heard Scarlett say this, she felt uncomfortable.

The person she cared about most was her mother, Thelma.

Yvonne took Thelma for health checkups every year, and Thelma had always been healthy,

After hearing Scarlett say this, Yvonne naturally felt unhappy and thought Scarlett sounded like she was cursing her mother.

Thelma frowned. “Scarlett, can you really diagnose illnesses? And what do you mean by this unusual smell?”

“I can diagnose illnesses,” Scarlett nodded. “I also use smell as part of the diagnosis. Thelma, you should know this is one of the methods used in traditional medicine. Traditional diagnosis includes observing a person’s complexion, asking about symptoms, checking the pulse, listening to breathing and coughing, and smelling body odor or breath. The smell I mentioned comes from the intestines. When there is a problem inside the intestines, this kind of odor can appear.”

In modern times, much knowledge and many classic medical texts of traditional medicine have been lost, leaving most doctors to rely only on the first three methods.

Techniques like listening and smelling are now rare and extremely difficult to master.

The livestream chat instantly exploded.

[Scarlett says she can diagnose illnesses?]

[This is getting ridiculous. Does she really think she can do everything?]

[I seriously think Scarlett is just creating a fake image. If she was only good at one thing, I might believe it. But now it feels like there’s nothing she can’t do. Now she even knows traditional medicine. I don’t buy it.]

[But she talked about diagnosing by smell. I’ve heard that ancient doctors could really do that. Even many traditional doctors today don’t know this anymore.]

[They pay her 1,000 dollars a day out of kindness, and she says something like this.]

[I don’t know why, but I still believe in Scarlett. Look at the scar on her face. It’s almost gone now. Didn’t she say before that the ointment was hers? We thought it was left by her grandpa, but now it seems she made it herself.]

“Scarlett, what kind of illness do you think I have?” Thelma asked again.

Scarlett replied, “It’s a type of an intestinal mass. Because of certain body constitution issues, nutrients aren’t absorbed well, and infections can build up over time, forming a growth. Some are harmless, but others keep

growing and spreading–what people usually call a malignant tumor. You have a tumor in your intestines.”

Thelma didn’t believe that a young girl like Scarlett could be so skilled in medicine. Just by looking at her face and smelling her breath, Scarlett claimed to know she had a malignant tumor.

Thelma admitted Scarlett had talent in cooking, but medicine required years of study and experience. So, she didn’t believe it, though she didn’t blame Scarlett either.

“Scarlett, are you just starting to learn traditional medicine? You might have misdiagnosed me. I feel fine. My digestion is good, and my bathroom habits are normal. Sometimes I get diarrhea if I eat the wrong food, but I’ve never had blood in my stool. I know that illness you mentioned usually includes that symptom. Also, I get a full checkup every year. I had one just three months ago.”

Scarlett shook her head. “Thelma, as you said, that checkup was three months ago. Sometimes when an illness has just started, tests may not detect it right away. It could have appeared after your last checkup. And blood in the stool is already a severe symptom. Your condition is still mild. If you go to the hospital for surgery and use traditional medicine as support, it won’t harm your body at all. You can fully recover.”

Yvonne finally couldn’t listen anymore.

She put on her mask, hat, and sunglasses, covering her face and head tightly, and walked out.

She didn’t go near the cameras. Instead, she stood under the roof and lowered her voice. “Scarlett, please don’t talk nonsense. Every year, I make sure my mom sees the best doctors in Jyncrest City. All her checkups are done there. There’s no way they made a mistake. She’s in very good health.”
