Chapter 403 Kidney Deficiency
“Pfft.” Stephen couldn’t hold back a laugh that announced his presence. In the next second, he was
coldly stared at by Jeffrey, causing him to quickly lean back into the sofa.
“No need to be embarrassed. Judging by your appearance, you’re deficient in vitality. No wonder it’s so
hard for me to hope for a great–grandson,” Madam Morgan declared, picking up her phone and
sending a message to someone.
“Grandma, isn’t your eldest great–grandson here?” Jeffrey asked helplessly.
“Him?” Madam Morgan glanced at Stephen, who was holding a pillow and not sitting properly, and
shook her head. “This child is a waste! I want a great–grandson who I can teach properly. If it’s a
great–granddaughter, that’s even better. If she’s as beautiful and clever as Melanie, I’ll pass on my
lifelong knowledge of fashion to her!”
“Granny, daughters usually look like their dad,” Jeffrey said, a smile playing on his lips. He really
wanted a daughter.
“What do you know? As daughters grow older, they become more like their moms!” Madam Morgan
turned back to glare at Jeffrey. “Why say so much? With your kidney deficiency, how can I have a
great–grandson?”
“Pfft!” This time, Melanie couldn’t hold back her laughter. She threw her head back, and laughed.
“Be careful.” Jeffrey, however, didn’t blame her for finding his situation amusing. He was busy taking

“Be careful of what?” Madam Morgan was extremely sensitive, and started scrutinizing Melanie.
“My back has been bothering me lately,” Melanie explained hastily.
Seeing that she didn’t intend to tell anyone, Jeffrey cooperated with her. “Yes, she’s too busy. Because
she
has to sit for a long time, it hurts her back.”
“You’re really making me worry. One of you has a back problem, while the other has a kidney problem,”
Madam Morgan said, putting down her phone. “I found an old friend who’s a traditional medicine
practitioner. I
asked him to come and prescribe some supplements.”
Jeffrey brought Melanie and Stephen back together, so Madam Morgan was delighted. The family
enjoyed a reunion dinner. Not long after, a servant brought the old traditional medicine practitioner to
them.
After a brief welcome, Madam Morgan urged Jeffrey to get up and move aside. “This is my grandson.
His
kidneys aren’t well. Check his pulse for me.”
“I don’t need it!” Jeffrey glared fiercely, conserving his dignity.
The old man shook his head repeatedly. “I’ve seen too many young people as stubborn as you.
Although
you’re young, kidney deficiency is not uncommon. What’s there to be embarrassed about? Come on,
young
man, give me your hand.”
“Pfft!” Melanie couldn’t help but laugh.

This was the first time she heard someone refer to Jeffrey as a young man. No matter how she looked
at him, she didn’t think it was the right word to describe him.
Stephen was also laughing gleefully on the side. Jeffrey stared at him icily.
Suppressing her laughter, Melanie pushed Jeffrey forward gently. “Let him check you.” After saying
that, she even winked at him.
She just wanted him to cover for her. That would prevent Madam Morgan from asking the traditional
medicine practitioner to check her pulse. If that happened, her pregnancy would be exposed.
After Melanie spoke, Jeffrey obediently extended his wrist.
While checking his pulse, the old traditional medicine practitioner stroked his beard, talking incessantly.

encountered some problems in normal times, right?”
Jeffrey was annoyed, and frowned. “What problems?”
“Intimacy must not be going smoothly, right?” the old man stated bluntly.
“Pfft…!” Melanie wished she could spurt blood. The old man was so direct.
Jeffrey’s face darkened. Seeing him remain silent, Madam Morgan and the traditional medicine
practitioner
both turned their heads to look at Melanie, gesturing for her to speak.
“Well…” Melanie stammered.
“Alright, I understand.”
Before Melanie could say anything further, the old man stroked his beard, nodded, and released
Jeffrey’s wrist.
“The girl is embarrassed to speak up, but the expression suggests a lack in marital relations… For a
young man to be in such a state, talking about the quality of marital relations is pointless.”
Not far away on the sofa, Stephan burst into laughter.
Jeffrey’s face turned red. If it weren’t for him being injured and losing blood repeatedly, how could he be
deficient in vigor and have a kidney deficiency?
He pursed his lips tightly. At this moment, he wished he could pick her up, point at her stomach, and
show everyone that she was pregnant, setting the record straight for his reputation!
