However, the other doctors didn’t seem to share that sentiment.
“That’s too arrogant. No one is infallible.”
“Yes, even experienced doctors can misdiagnose a pulse. No. 3 is definitely not pregnant.”
“No.” Sophia remained unwavering. “I said No. 3 is pregnant, which means she is pregnant.”
The organizers had anticipated controversy, so they had professional medical equipment on-site to verify any disputes. Before long, the test results were delivered. The host opened the document and looked at it in shock.
“She… is actually pregnant?”
The moment those words were spoken, the entire audience erupted into discussion.
Dr . White and the others turned visibly embarrassed. Just moments ago, they had insisted they couldn’t possibly be wrong, only to be proven otherwise so quickly.
But how was it possible that No. 3 was pregnant?
Seeing their confusion, Sophia finally explained, “As I mentioned earlier, some pregnant women do not exhibit a detectable slippery pulse. This does not mean the doctor’s skills are lacking, but rather that the fetus has a problem. If the fetal pulse is not obvious, it often indicates a high likelihood of miscarriage or preterm birth.”
At this revelation, No. 3’s face turned pale.
“Dr.Smith…” No. 3 clutched Sophia’s hand tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. “You said my baby might be miscarried or born prematurely? Please help me! I’m already 35, and I have never given birth before. I really want to become a mother. Please, you must help me!”
All the doctors had failed to detect her pregnancy, except for Sophia. This was proof of her remarkable skill.
Doctors like her were so rare that even if one traveled across the country, they might never find another. Now that she had been found, No. 3 couldn’t afford to let her go.
The spectators watching the competition hadn’t expected such a dramatic turn of events and buzzed with chatter.
Sophia looked at No. 3 and said solemnly,
“You had a miscarriage ten years ago, which harmed your body. That’s why this pregnancy is extremely difficult to sustain.”
These words were spoken with such certainty that even Contestant No. 3 herself was momentarily stunned. She quickly did the math in her head and suddenly realized—it really had been ten years since her last miscarriage. The reason she had been so sure she couldn’t get pregnant was precisely because she had lost a child ten years ago. After that, she and her husband had never had another child, and doctors had told her that she had no hope of becoming a mother. Who would have thought she would actually be pregnant? Even she couldn’t believe it.
Meanwhile, the live-stream chat of the Traditional Medicine (TCM) competition exploded with comments.
— “Can pulse diagnosis really reveal a physical injury from ten years ago? Is that even possible?”
— “This is practically mystical! Dr.Smith is incredible!”
— “Is this the legendary Livinus’s girlfriend? Is she really this amazing? I was sent here by someone who hyped her up—I thought I was here to admire a beauty, but turns out, I’m here to witness a miracle doctor. Incredible!”
— “Let those anti-TCM people see how powerful real medicine is!”
— “Anti-TCM folks, how does it feel getting slapped in the face? Traditional Medicine really works!”
— “I think this is staged. There’s gotta be something fishy. Who would believe this?”
“Yes! I did have a miscarriage ten years ago.”
Sophia didn’t say whether it was difficult to treat or not—she simply said, “Come find me after the competition, and I’ll help you stabilize your pregnancy.”
“Ah! Ah!” Contestant No. 3 was so excited that she quickly called her husband to share the good news.
No one had expected Sophia to have such profound skills. Even the other doctors were taken aback. To be honest, they simply couldn’t do what she had just done. Some highly skilled doctors could diagnose past injuries and use that information to trace the origins of many illnesses, but this required an extraordinary level of expertise. Even though they were better than ordinary people, they were nowhere near that level—such skill was something only miracle doctors could achieve.
For someone as young as Sophia to possess such ability—it was truly unbelievable.
The host asked another question, “Dr.Smith, then why did you remove No. 7? Does that mean No. 7 is really not pregnant?”
“No, No. 7 was pregnant,” Sophia explained, “but I diagnosed that something had happened to the baby—it has already been lost.”
This statement stunned Contestant No. 7, leaving her face full of shock. Where did this come from? She had been experiencing some bleeding in the past two days, but the hospital doctors told her it was due to low progesterone levels and that the bleeding was normal.
They even reassured her that some pregnant women naturally bleed during the first three months, and that it would stop on its own after the first trimester. Her relatives had also told her they had encountered similar situations before, so she hadn’t thought much of it. She figured she could just treat the bleeding like a period, as long as it didn’t affect the baby.
