The Cook at Two Thirty in the Morning

Dining room.

Phoebe and Rachel sat at the table, taking advantage of Leonard's absence to blame each other.

"Your father actually thinks I'm a lesbian and that I'm the father of the child in your belly. I used to think he was very kind and was planning to let you leave early."

Phoebe complained, clearly dissatisfied.

"Hey! That's not the point!"

Rachel waved her hand in front of Phoebe's eyes, reminding her, "I just lied to my dad. I'm not going to marry Ross. What should I do now?"

Don't worry.

Phoebe waved her hand and said, "How old are you? You're pregnant. Do you think he'd make you eat your child like he used to threaten you into eating a whole pack of cigarettes when you smoked?"

Rachel glared at her fiercely.

Okay.

Phoebe laughed and said, "Just tell him the truth later."

Didn't you hear me?

Rachel exclaimed in horror, "The way he gritted his teeth when he said his first grandson might be illegitimate was terrifying."

"Ha! I've got an idea!"

Phoebe clapped her hands and said, "Since you don't dare to say it, then let the baby in your belly say it. What a surprise it will be when he grows up and suddenly appears in front of your father!"

"That wasn't a surprise, it was a shock!"

Rachel rolled her eyes.

"Then let Adam speak?"

Phoebe laughed and said, "Aren't they best friends? And now they work together at the hospital."

Rachel's eyes lit up.

This idea seems more useful than leaving a message on the phone.

Better to die for your fellow Daoist than for me.

"I have good news for you."

At this moment, Leonard returned after making the call, looking relieved. "I called Adam, and he'll most likely be able to book the Plaza Hotel as your wedding venue."

"..."

Rachel's smile froze.

Adam is clearly supporting Leonard; it'll be difficult to get him to speak up for her!

"It seems some people are a cut above the rest."

Phoebe couldn't help but laugh out loud.

What are you talking about?

Leonard asked, puzzled.

"Nothing..."

Rachel wanted to ask other fellow cultivators for help, but when she saw Phoebe's amused smile, she steeled herself and said directly, "Dad, what you said about getting married was a lie..."

"What?!"

Leonard's shout echoed throughout the restaurant.

Rachel couldn't take it anymore, especially when she saw everyone around her looking at her. She covered her face with her hands and reminded them, "Dad..."

"Why?! Why won't you get married?! Is it because Ross doesn't want to marry you?!"

Leonard's voice grew louder and louder.

"Right!"

Upon hearing this, Rachel's eyes lit up, and she said in a 'wronged' tone, "It's Ross!"

"That bastard!"

Leonard stood up abruptly. "I'm going to kill him!"

"Don't kill him, just give him a good scolding."

Rachel called out insincerely to Leonard's departing figure.

"You've got it!"

Phoebe gave a thumbs up.

Did I do something wrong?

Rachel retorted confidently, "If it weren't for him, how could I have gotten pregnant and then faced my father's pressure to marry me? Why should I be the only one facing my father's rage?"

"That makes sense!"

Phoebe nodded.

The next day.

4:30 a. m.

"Bianca, Bianca."

Adam nudged the sleeping Bianca.

"What are you doing?"

Bianca said with her eyes closed, "I really can't go on. Go find Iliad or anyone else."

"..."

Adam paused, then nudged her again. "It's time to go to work. Starting today, we'll be working from 5 am to 7 pm. Maybe some people are already here."

You don't want them to snatch all the good medical records, and then, if they behave well, they'll naturally go into the Operating Room with Sheran, leaving you just watching helplessly, right?

"Ah!"

Bianca buried her head in the pillow, yelled, and then jumped up.

"Damn internship!"

As an intern, after the initial challenge and getting familiar with the procedures, I began my formal work.

Adam and his colleagues had to get up before dawn, rush to the hospital, wake up the sleeping patients with smiles, and inquire about the changes in their conditions.

You can imagine the patients' attitudes when making rounds at this time.

But they have to do this: obtain accurate first-hand information about the patient before the resident physician makes rounds, and then inform the resident physician so that the resident physician is well-informed.

Without a smiling face, patients are likely to become impatient or even perfunctory, and won't tell you the truth about their condition.

If a resident makes a wrong judgment based on your information and loses face, they can't vent their anger on the patient; they'll only vent it on their subordinate intern.

As a boss, it's incredibly easy for him to mess with his interns.

Conversely, if done well, one can stand out by having detailed and reliable knowledge of the patient's condition during the daily rounds of the resident physicians, which will make the resident physicians and even the Attending Physician look at them differently.

Then, it will be natural for them to follow the patient into the Operating Room.

Therefore, no ambitious intern will arrive at the hospital until exactly 5 o'clock.

There are many people who arrive at 4:30 or 4:00, and some even live in the hospital as if it were their home.

Adam's apartment was right next to the hospital, just a few minutes away, making it almost the same as living in the hospital.

Compared to the conditions in the hospital, and due to some special reasons, Adam naturally still went back every day.

After washing up, Bianca urged Adam to get going.

But Adam could tell that it wasn't so much that she was afraid of being late, but rather that she was afraid of morning exercise...

It was still dark outside.

Even in a city that never sleeps, there are hardly any people around at this moment, except for the streetlights.

However, the situation changed immediately upon arriving at the hospital.

Medical staff arrived in twos and threes from all directions, changing shifts and handing over duties. The lively atmosphere was almost no different from that during the day.

This is what a hospital is like!

"Boss, here's your breakfast."

A girl carrying a lunchbox stood at the hospital entrance. When she saw Adam coming, she immediately greeted him.

"Thank you for your help, Lisa."

Adam accepted it with a smile.

"It's what I should do."

Lisa laughed heartily, "Boss, you can tell me what you'd like to eat next time."

"I will, you go back and rest."

Adam laughed.

After Lisa left.

"You really know how to enjoy yourself."

Bianca shook her head and said, "Breakfast is fine as it is, but you actually hired an assistant to make breakfast for you."

"Lisa is not my assistant."

As Adam walked, he said, "She's Ada's assistant. I have to get up early every day now, so I can't expect Ada to do the same. Luckily, Lisa is a great cook, so I hired her."

To prepare a delicious breakfast for Adam at this time, cook Lisa has to get up at 2:30 a. m.

This inspiration comes from Juno and Karen.

Karen is an excellent cook and takes good care of Juno, which Adam greatly admires.

Karen is a rare find, but hiring a cook is a piece of cake for Adam, who has billions but doesn't squander his wealth.

We can't expect Adam to eat cold food and just make do with whatever he can for breakfast and lunch, like United States do, can we?
