"Dr. Guo," Lu Zhaodi's face lit up with a flush of excitement, her tone rapid and exuberant, "You need to feel my pulse, you need to quickly feel my pulse, see if I'm pregnant!

"Alright alright, don't panic, let me check your pulse." Guo Xiuying understood Lu Zhaodi's eagerness for a child. She took Lu Zhaodi's wrist, supporting it with one hand while checking the pulse with the other.
After checking both wrists, Guo Xiuying frowned, repeated the process, but still didn't detect any tachycardia.
