"After the graduation ceremony tomorrow, I'll accompany you to the Medical Center for a full check-up the day after tomorrow."

Seeing that his mother was a little down, Adam could only suppress his worries and said helplessly, "Let's also have the whole family get a full medical check-up."

"Uh-huh."

My parents nodded quickly.

"Uh-huh."

The fourth child Charlie, mischievously followed suit, and her adorable appearance was absolutely charming.

"Uh-huh."

The Fifth Brother Toby, was confused, but seeing his sister like that, he nodded and hummed along.

"Hehe."

Adam saw this in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but laugh.

"Giggle."

Charlie, the fourth child, giggled.

"Ha ha."

Toby, the Fifth Brother, was disliked by his older sister from birth and was a complete tagalong.

"Mom, what does Gabe's girlfriend do?"

Adam asked casually.

"I don't know, maybe a classmate?"

Mom hesitated.

"Classmate?"

Adam frowned.

The third brother Gabe, wasn't a bookworm; he loved playing video games. Although he was smart, his grades were terrible. But with his older brother Adam, getting into a good university would be a piece of cake.

When his parents asked for Adam opinion, Adam thought about it and then suggested that he choose an art-related major so that he could develop a career in game production.

Firstly, art-related majors are the "easy" ones, very easy to get into and very easy to graduate from.

Because there are a thousand Hamlet in a thousand people's eyes.

Learning this isn't like studying science subjects, where you either know it or you don't. It's the kind of learning where you either can do it or you can't.

Secondly, it's a good fit for their major. The third brother, Gabe, is particularly interested in games, and the gaming industry has always been a popular and lucrative field.

So in the end, Adam used his connections to get his third son Gabe, into the Art Center College in Pasadena, California.

California is one of the cultural centers of the United States, along with New York. The most famous Hollywood and Silicon Valley are located here. The third brother, Gabe, really liked this choice, as evidenced by the fact that he didn't want to come back for Christmas as soon as he started college.

However, it only happened once, and he was subsequently suppressed by Adam.

Since you're not even willing to participate in family reunions, you certainly don't need your family's money. Everyone says United States are independent, so go ahead and be independent.

Then, the third brother Gabe, behaved himself.

According to him, nothing is more important than family...

"I know, I know."

Charlie smiled slyly and said, "Adam, do you want to know?"

"Would you be willing to tell me for free?"

Adam teased.

"I can tell you."

Charlie chuckled.

"But it's not free, is it?"

Adam smiled knowingly.

"Hey-hey."

Charlie smiled without saying a word, implicitly agreeing.

"I prepared a gift, but it seems someone doesn't want it."

Adam continued to tease her.

"Third Brother's girlfriend is an actress."

Charlie immediately said, "It seems like you've acted in some movies."

"An actor, who has acted in movies?"

Adam's heart skipped a beat; he suddenly had a bad feeling.

Although the third brother Gabe, was an art student and lived near Hollywood, it wasn't surprising that he dated beautiful girls who came to Hollywood to pursue their dreams.

But he was still a poor student, and although he was somewhat handsome, he wasn't exactly ordinary. What did he have to offer to date an actress, let alone one who had acted in movies?

You have to understand that the entertainment industry is the most realistic place. Girls who come here to pursue their dreams all fantasize about becoming famous, rich, and powerful overnight.

Would an actress who has already made movies fall for a poor student?

Unless it's true love, there's definitely something wrong.

The probability of finding true love is extremely low.

"Charlie, how do you know she's an actress who's made movies?"

"I overheard it by accident."

Charlie laughed.

Adam understood perfectly well that Charlie, being such a clever little devil, was at an age where she was lively and active, so eavesdropping was perfectly normal for her.

The phrase "by accident" implies that the news is highly accurate.

"Charlie, are you having fun at school?"

Adam already had an idea in mind and was preparing to have someone investigate this Danielle, but he subtly changed the subject.

"Happy."

Charlie's eyes immediately darted around.

"She's a troublemaker; we're always getting called in by the teacher..."

Upon hearing this, Mom got angry and started berating Charlie.

Four Seasons Hotel.

Adam booked a presidential suite for his parents.

"Your older brother is really rich."

Danielle looked around at the exquisite bedroom and exclaimed in admiration.

"Unfortunately, it's not my money."

The third brother, Gabe, sprawled on the bed, said lazily, "Adam is too stingy."

"He's stingy?"

Danielle glanced at him. "Your car isn't cheap."

"That was my gift when I went to college."

The third brother Gabe, said unhappily, "You didn't see the car he bought for Teddy. It's much more expensive than mine. And the gifts he buys for Charlie every year are completely different from the ones he buys for me and Toby. It's blatant discrimination against me and Toby."

"Hehe."

Danielle couldn't help but laugh and said, "Girls should be pampered, of course."

"You said exactly the same thing as him!"

The third brother Gabe, complained, "He always just brushes me off like this."

In the evening, everyone had dinner together, and then Adam took them out for a walk before they went back to rest.

The next day.

Columbia University Medical School.

The graduation ceremonies for the classes of 1995 and 1998 at Columbia University Medical School are underway.

As expected, Adam became the representative of this year's medical graduates, gave a speech on stage, and then began to award diplomas.

"Adam Dart Duncan".

As the dean read the words, Adam, dressed in an academic gown and cap, walked back onto the stage, approached the dean, received his diploma from him, shook hands with him, and then stepped down.

"Steven Gus Murphy."

"Alice Neel Kidman".

"Bianca Sarah Samson".

"Iliad Katie Reed".

"William Tom Haver".

"..."

As the dean read out each name, it was natural to include the middle name to show respect in such an occasion.

Adam's classmates went up on stage one by one, receiving their graduation certificates with either excitement or composure, and shaking hands with the dean.

When Iliad went up, he hadn't even put on his graduation cap properly, and in the end, he simply didn't wear it and just held it in his hand.

"Wow! This is a doctor's certificate."

Adam went down, his second sister Teddy snatched the graduation certificate from his hand. When she opened it, she was dumbfounded; she didn't recognize it.

"This is Latin."

Adam took it back irritably and pointed to the text on it, saying, "Look at this line: Dr. Duncan. Adam Dart Duncan!"

"Our family finally has a doctor!"

My mom was very excited when she saw the certificate, not only because she is a mother, but also because she is a nurse.

She knew better than anyone the status gap between nurses and doctors.

"There are also famous writers and the youngest billionaire."

The third brother Gabe, reminded him.

"Of course I know."

His mother rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "But unfortunately, all three honors belong to Adam alone."

Second son Teddy: "..."

Third brother Gabe: "..."
