Rose hadn’t expected Ryan to come over.
She was even more surprised that Ryan would actually speak to her.
The question struck a nerve.
Ayurveda had been passed down for thousands of years, preserving a wealth of diagnostic knowledge and clinical wisdom.
What fascinated Rose most was that, despite the differences between medical traditions, truly skilled masters often possessed an extraordinary ability to perceive subtle changes within the body.
Even though many years had passed since she had given birth, an experienced Ayurvedic pulse expert had still been able to detect traces of it through her pulse alone.
Even Caleb hadn’t anticipated this turn of events.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became strangely awkward.
Unaware of the underlying complications, the elderly doctor spoke bluntly. "Young lady, your pulse indicates a deep depletion of energy and vitality. It appears your body went through a major loss in the past and has never fully recovered."
Ryan’s gaze slowly drifted downward.
It landed on the back of Rose’s head, which had remained motionless the entire time.
His thick brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
His voice remained devoid of emotion. "Could there be a mistake?"
Samantha hadn’t expected such a trivial matter to draw Ryan’s attention to Rose.
She pressed her lips together and glanced at the elderly herbalist.
There was a hint of displeasure in her eyes.
She felt the man was simply making things up.
Was Ayurveda medicine really that powerful?
Could it diagnose everything?
Besides, Rose had never given birth.
For all anyone knew, Rose might simply be infertile. Otherwise, after all these years, even a hen would have laid an egg by now.
Either Rose couldn’t conceive, or Ryan simply didn’t want children with her.
Samantha felt both possibilities were equally likely.
Ryan’s repeated questioning caused a cold sweat to break out at Rose’s temples.
This was different from the curiosity of that young mother last time.
This was a genuine master of traditional Ayurveda medicine.
If Ryan became suspicious...
Rose couldn’t help clenching her jaw.
She was terrified the old doctor might reveal something that would expose her past pregnancy in front of Ryan.
The old doctor’s hand remained on Rose’s wrist.
He gave her a thoughtful look.
Naturally, he could sense that her emotions were in turmoil.
Her heartbeat was accelerating.
In traditional medicine, this was known as a disturbance of the spirit.
The elderly doctor’s cloudy yet shrewd eyes flickered slightly.
Then he said slowly, "However, this isn’t definitive."
Rose met his gaze and couldn’t help blinking at him.
"Another possibility is that certain people or circumstances in her life are draining her vital energy and mental strength. That could produce a similar condition."
Only then did Ryan shift his gaze to the old doctor and he winked at her.
He appeared thoughtful.
"Is that so?" Ryan said.
Oliver had overheard enough of the conversation as he approached.
Seeing the situation, he stepped forward with a smile.
"Master, you may not know this, but this young lady has been married for seven years and still hasn’t had a child. Instead of discussing energy imbalances, wouldn’t it be more useful to find out whether she’s infertile?"
Caleb’s expression immediately turned cold.
How could he fail to hear the mockery in Oliver’s words?
The man was deliberately exposing Rose’s deepest wound.
He was inviting everyone present to look at her with pity and judgment.
Making people believe she was infertile and implying her marriage had failed.
"That’s unreasonable," Caleb said calmly.
"When a couple can’t conceive, why is the blame always placed on the woman? Could it be that some husbands lack self-discipline, maintain unhealthy lifestyles, or simply have poor sperm quality? Instead of forcing women through medications and treatments, perhaps some men should first determine whether they’re capable."
Oliver was instantly speechless.
He instinctively glanced at Ryan, who had remained silent throughout.
Ryan showed no reaction to Caleb’s words.
The elderly traditional medicine practitioner nodded. "She’s right. Aside from a energy imbalances and little weakness, this young lady is perfectly healthy."
Only then did Caleb smile.
"Then the problem must be the man. Rose, who’s your husband? Bring him over so we can get him treated immediately."
Rose: "..."
Oliver: "..."
Samantha’s expression shifted slightly.
She still hoped to establish a partnership with Grand Sage, and Caleb was an important figure there.
Though displeased, she refrained from arguing.
However...
