Arabella did not hold back and stated her diagnosis plainly. “Sir, your pulse is both forceful and tight. Based on my assessment, I can confirm you have an asymptomatic, mild cerebral ischemia”
Her diagnosis was clear and left no room for ambiguity. Her words, however, caused Robert, the butler, and others in the room to draw a sharp breath. “Cerebral ischemia? ” That was a very serious condition.
Matthew, who had been standing coldly to the side observing the entire exchange, frowned slightly as he studied Arabella, as if trying to discern whether her words held any truth.
Miles had been worried Arabella might actually diagnose something significant. But upon hearing her conclusion, he let out a mocking scoff. In his opinion, she was simply talking nonsense.
Young lady, you can eat whatever you like, but you can’t just say whatever you like! Mild cerebral ischemia: Do you even know what that entails? Predicting a stroke in advance is nearly impossible without clear symptoms–no sudden vertigo, no visual disturbances, no hemorrhage, no visible lesions… you can’t just label it as such. And you dare to make this wild claim after just feeling his pulse for a moment? Mr. Stewart has been under treatment, and there have been absolutely no signs of a stroke. You’re just trying to
scare everyone.
“I think you’re just here to scam money. You’re spouting utter nonsense!” Miles immediately branded her a fraud.
Based on his many years of medical experience and his conclusions from treating Robert over the past days, it was simply impossible for Robert to have the mild cerebral ischemia Arabella described.
“If his condition were as obvious as you claim, he’d probably need to be hospitalized immediately. You wouldn’t be standing here, and I likely wouldn’t have even been needed”
Facing Miles‘ targeted accusations, Arabella remained cool. “Alternative medicine and modern medicine have different approaches. Modern medicine often intervenes after symptoms manifest. But if alternative medicine makes an early diagnosis, it can help prevent issues before they become critical. You failed to detect the underlying indicators and didn’t even consider investigating in this direction. That speaks to the limits of your diagnostic skills. You’re so eager to discredit me, I suspect you’re worried about losing your position. But you can’t ignore a patient’s well–being just to protect your job. I doubt you’re prepared to bear that responsibility p>
Though young, Arabella’s words were measured and carried a strange persuasiveness.
Robert fell into deep thought for a moment, and Matthew also seemed to be weighing her statement. The room fell silent briefly. Then Arabella looked at Robert and said. “Sir, modern medicine may not accept that a mild ischemic event can be detected through pulse diagnosis. But I am certain of your condition. If you don’t believe me, you’re free to think I’m jesting. However, if you experience any health crises later, please don’t come to me. I don’t treat those who place no trust in me p>

Arabella’s gaze was steady, her words firm. Every syllable was filled with conviction, compelling Robert to believe her. “I believe what you’re saying, doctor p>

Seeing Robert being swayed by Arabella, Miles grew even more resentful. Robert hadn’t been fully
cooperative with his treat these past days, yet he trusted this girl of unknown origin so readily.
He felt it was unjust but didn’t dare to protest further. After all, Robert believed her. If he continued arguing with Arabella, it would indeed seem as if he were disregarding Robert’s health.
For now, he had to bite his tongue and swallow his anger. He would wait until he caught her in a mistake and expose her then. He’d make this arrogant upstart regret her words.
Meanwhile, Matthew also sensed from Arabella’s tone and demeanor that she didn’t appear to be lying. She had identified the issue without Robert having to describe it, and it matched Robert’s subjective feelings.
Since she spoke with such assurance, he might as well ask if she had a treatment plan before making any judgments.
With this thought, Matthew looked at Arabella and said coldly. “Since you’ve made the diagnosis, I assume you also have a treatment plan p>
Robert was curious about the same thing at that moment. He instinctively looked at Arabella, eager to hear her proposed treatment.
Seeing that Matthew, who had been quietly observing until now, was finally addressing her, Arabella understood he was beginning to grant her a sliver of credibility–though not fully.
She met his gaze calmly and replied, “I do. But my treatment method is somewhat specific. I need to who has the authority to make the decision p>
Arabella’s implication was clear–who was in charge here? She wouldn’t disclose the treatment plan to irrelevant parties before confirming who held decision–making power.
After all, explaining it to someone without that authority would be a waste of time.
