I Became His Sweetheart by Bright Eyes

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 care of her, afraid that she
might strain herself.
“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.
“Giving birth is not a one–person affair. Your vigor is indeed deficient. I guess both of you have 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!
