Chapter: 410
“Not only do I know that your body is weak and sickly, but I also know about the hidden injury at your lower back. If my guess isn’t wrong, you injured your lower back a few years ago, right?”
The moment Roderick heard those words, his face instantly grew solemn.
The way he looked at Dustin also changed.
Indeed, he had gotten hurt a few years ago.
That time, he’d been on his way to a meeting to discuss a business deal when a hitman suddenly appeared, stabbing him in the lower back.
Fortunately, he didn’t lose his life, but ever since then, his injury had been causing him pain.
The problem was that he’d never told anyone about this, so how did Dustin find out?
“Mr. Rhys, you’re really amazing! But how could you tell?” Roderick was both shocked and suspicious.
“I’m a doctor. For most ailments, you can identify clues from the smallest details. For example, you were walking in a stiff manner earlier, putting less pressure on your left foot compared to the right. Evidently, you have a lower back injury.” Dustin replied.
“Hahaha… You’re truly a miracle doctor, Mr. Rhys! I acknowledge your talent!” Roderick said.
“What a compliment, Mr. Brooks. I’m just using my wits.”
“Mr. Rhys, could you take a good look and see whether this illness of mine can be cured?” Roderick extended his wrist.
Dustin felt for his pulse. Then, he responded, “It’s curable, but it will take some time. That knife injured your kidney, which has affected your ability to have children. Your reproductive ability has also greatly deteriorated. This is also why you still haven’t had children until now.”
When he said that, Natasha and Roderick paused, clearly taken aback.
“Mr. Rhys, are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?” Roderick frowned.
“That’s right, Dustin. Mr. Brooks has a four–year–old son,” Natasha added.
The reason why Roderick had doted on Chloe so much was because she’d borne him a son.
Being able to have a son as a middle–aged man, he naturally had a lot of love and care for both mother and child.
“Huh?” This time, it was Dustin’s turn to be confused.
He reached for Roderick’s wrist again and said with certainty, “It’s impossible! Your knife injury happened at least six years ago. The knife went all the way in, so there is no way you are fertile, unless
“Unless what?” Roderick found himself asking.
“Unless your son isn’t biologically yours.”
Roderick was speechless.
Roderick stood there frozen, his face was pale.
He’d experienced all kinds of hardships all his life, but at that moment, he didn’t know what to do.
