Old Dreams Reborn

Harvard Medical School.

In front of the building.

Under the shade of a tree.

Good afternoon, Mr. Fool.

Adam felt a surge of emotion upon hearing Grey's unique voice utter such a familiar yet special greeting.

this...

Looks like another fan of Lord of the Mysteries.

No wonder everyone wants to be famous.

Tsk!

However, Adam quickly suppressed his excitement when his palm was scratched as the two shook hands, which made him realize something was wrong.

This woman in front of me is the female version of Barney Stinson.

Knowing that Max was with Adam, she still blatantly scratched him. Her behavior was indeed too wild, making it hard for people to handle.

He now truly regrets forgetting the plot of Grey's Anatomy, because he seriously suspects that this style of female-led American drama is probably produced by HBO.

But if it's an HBO production, he should be able to remember many memorable scenes.

"Miss Grey also likes Lord of the Mysteries?"

Adam voluntarily let go, his smile unchanged.

"Just call me Meredith."

Grey laughed and said, "I like all new things. Lord of the Mysteries a very popular novel in recent years, so of course I've read it, especially since it's the work of Juno's best friend who admires it the most."

"She admires me?"

Adam glanced at Juno in surprise, unable to control the smile on his face.

"Yes."

Juno chimed in, a half-smile playing on her lips, "I told her some of your romantic escapades, and everyone admires you."

Don't listen to her.

Grey laughed and said, "She said you are her best friend. She was very shocked when you wrote Lord of the Mysteries because she had no idea you had such talent before. When it comes to liking Lord of the Mysteries, she is your number one fan."

"Really?"

Adam laughed triumphantly, feeling incredibly pleased with himself.

Even though I know Grey's portrayal is exaggerated, at least there should be some truth to it.

The pleasure of being praised behind someone's back and hearing it is ten times greater than being praised to their face.

Especially since this person is Juno.

"You should have said so earlier."

Adam put his arm around Juno's shoulder and laughed, "If I had known, I would have just named Hugh Deercha after you, and Fors Wall, which would have been Karen."

"I see."

Grey stared at Juno and Karen, her eyes gleaming with gossip. "I've always felt that Hugh and Fors were modeled after Juno and Karen."

Juno smiled but didn't say anything.

Karen smiled too.

Having read Lord of the Mysteries, she was very satisfied with the interaction between Hugh and Fors and was looking forward to its future development.

The group chatted for a while longer before leaving.

How are you feeling?

Juno and Adam walked side by side, laughing.

"Very impressive."

Adam exclaimed, "Just as you said!"

She scratched him the moment she saw him; how could she not be fierce?

Did she scratch you?

Juno moved closer to Adam and teased him in a low voice.

"Um?"

Adam was astonished; how could she have noticed such a subtle movement?

Don't be surprised.

Juno joked, "This is one of her old tricks; I've been tickled by her before."

Has she always been like this?

Adam couldn't help but ask, "Not even a little bit of concealment?"

"Do you remember you once told me that every legendary United States figure, good or bad, has a similar childhood story?"

Juno laughed.

"You mean, she had an unhappy childhood, which is why she developed this unruly personality?"

Adam remained silent.

"Um."

Juno nodded, smiling knowingly. "According to her, that's probably what she meant. Her mother is the famous Grey, a renowned and powerful woman in the medical field. She divorced Meredith's father and raised Meredith alone."

Meredith was raised with exceptionally strict discipline, and Meredith mother was extremely busy with work, leaving her with very little time to care for and look after her. Consequently, their mother-daughter relationship was very poor, and Meredith, left unattended, naturally developed her current personality and behavior.

You don't agree with what she said?

Adam laughed.

I don't quite agree.

Juno shook her head and said, "Family background and childhood trauma are only one aspect; more important is one's own choices, just like you..."

At this point, she changed the subject, looking at Adam with a half-smile, "The Duncan family is a famously happy family. You don't have any childhood trauma, do you? Aren't you just like Meredith? It's clear that childhood trauma is mostly an excuse for indulgence."

"..."

Adam's lips twitched.

He agrees with Juno's point of view. Childhood trauma does have an impact, but it's not something that can be attributed to. What kind of person you become is more a matter of personal choice.

That's true, but why use him as an example...?

He's a million miles away from Meredith, okay?

After the four of them finished touring Harvard University, they went back.

There's a banquet tonight, and Adam and Max need to prepare for it.

Inside an apartment near Harvard University.

A woman in her early twenties sat languidly in front of a vanity mirror, holding a copy of Lord of the Mysteries in her hand. She looked at the author's name printed on the cover, her gaze settling on Adam Duncan's name.

"I really didn't expect that!"

The woman murmured to herself, "That little boy from back then has grown up to be this big. Interesting, very interesting..."

"Amy!"

An old woman's voice came from outside the door, and before the woman could answer, the bedroom door was pushed open.

An elegantly dressed old woman slowly walked in.

"Mother."

Amy called out in a nonchalant tone.

"You haven't started getting dressed yet?"

The old woman scolded, "I've always told you that women should always pay attention to their appearance. You are our Amazing Amy."

"Amazing Amy is a character in the book."

Amy said calmly, "I am not her."

No, you are her.

The old woman walked up to Amy, stroked her head, and said with certainty, "It always has been, everyone knows that, so you must be."

Amy didn't speak, but just looked at her mother in the mirror.

"Stop being naughty."

The old woman patted Amy's head. "I know you have a problem with Amazing Amy, but don't forget that everything you have is a gift from her. She's like your own sister. You have to protect her, understand?"

After he finished speaking, his stern gaze was reflected into Amy's eyes through the mirror.

Amy sighed inwardly and nodded slightly.

As the old woman said, everything she had was a gift from the Amazing Amy in her parents' book, or more precisely, a gift from her parents.

Because she was not financially independent, she could only suppress her displeasure.

"That's good."

Seeing Amy yield as always, the old woman smiled with satisfaction, "Now, hurry up and get dressed. I heard there's a promising young writer from New York at tonight's party. You two can get to know each other better."

"Hehe."

Amy smiled and said meaningfully, "I will..."
