Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 182

Chapter 182: Chapter 182 The Hidden Child Revealed

Mrs. Alice’s single question struck like a bolt from the blue, shattering the calm.

Ryan’s dark eyes instantly locked onto Rose.

The air seemed to vanish from the room.

Cold sweat broke out across Rose’s back, and the fine hairs on her neck stood on end.

She never could have imagined things would turn out this way.

The moment Mrs. Alice had touched her wrist, Rose had sensed that the woman’s technique was far too professional. Alarm bells had immediately gone off in her mind, but by then, it was already too late.

Margaret’s expression changed as well.

“No,” she said suspiciously. “How did you come to that conclusion?”

Rose seized the opportunity to pull her hand back.

Her clenched fingers were ice-cold.

Most of all, Ryan was still staring at her.

His gaze was like a blade, effortlessly cutting through the defenses she had spent years building and exposing the secrets she had hidden so carefully.

It almost made her forget how to breathe.

Forcing herself to remain calm, Rose looked at Mrs. Alice.

Mrs. Alice studied her with confusion, her eyes traveling up and down Rose’s figure.

“A pulse cannot lie,” she said. “That’s the true mystery of Traditional Medicine. Her pulse is completely different from that of someone who has never given birth. However, Mrs. Knight’s pulse is very weak. Logically speaking, she must have been ill for quite some time.”

Rose hadn’t expected things to unfold like this.

Margaret’s methods always seemed to strike directly at her weakest point.

Ryan’s face remained nearly expressionless, but his gaze made Rose feel as though countless needles were piercing her skin.

His eyes were cold and clear.

“Could there be a mistake?” he asked.

Mrs. Alice looked offended.

“I’ve treated patients for decades,” she said. “I’m not the kind of doctor who mistakes a pulse reading.”

The atmosphere grew tense once more.

Margaret suddenly looked at Rose, uncertainty flickering in her eyes.

“Why don’t you check again?” she suggested. “Rose and Ryan have been married for seven years and still don’t have any children.”

She turned toward them. “Your Grandma Alice has practiced Traditional Chinese for decades. I specifically invited her here to help improve your health. It’s simply unacceptable that you haven’t had children after all these years. Let’s find out which one of you has the problem. Rose, you need to take this seriously. If necessary, we’ll try acupuncture and herbal treatments.”

Even IVF, if it came to that.

She was determined to ensure the Knight family line continued.

That was the sole reason she had summoned them back today.

Who could have imagined hearing such an unbelievable statement instead?

Yet the fact remained that they had no children.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so shocked and doubtful.

Even Mrs. Alice began questioning herself.

“No children?” she asked. “What married couple goes seven years without having children?”

There was no malice in her words, but they still cut deeply.

Rose felt as though she were once again confronting the humiliation she had spent years pretending didn’t exist.

“Mm.”

Ryan’s lips moved slightly. “We have no children.”

His tone was cold and distant.

Rose couldn’t bring herself to look at him.

In that brief moment, her thoughts raced wildly, and a wave of panic nearly overwhelmed her.

She wanted to run.

To flee without looking back.

But she couldn’t.

Doing so would be the same as giving them the answer.

“Come here. Let me check again.”

Mrs. Alice refused to let it go and instinctively reached for Rose’s wrist once more.

Rose fought the urge to pull away.

She knew that the more she resisted, the more suspicious it would seem.

Because of her research, she had studied Traditional Medicine herself.

She knew better than anyone that Mrs. Alice was genuinely skilled.

“Why don’t you examine Ryan first?” Rose said quickly, buying herself time. “I’ve been extremely busy lately. Perhaps my body is simply exhausted.”

Mrs. Alice considered it. “That’s possible.”

She released Rose and motioned toward Ryan.

“Let me check you first. Have your wife sit down and rest for a moment.”
