The Return of the Most Miserable God of War
Medical Center.
Operating Room 3.
"Put on your goggles."
Everyone understood what Dr. Burke meant.
The news of Patient Zero in the Alex Hospital Charm Poison scandal is widely known.
In the event of complications such as bleeding during treatment, Charm Poison can enter the body through the eyes.
Fortunately, this is not AIDS, so there is no need to wear full protective gear.
Otherwise, there simply wouldn't be enough time.
Adding goggles and a mask to cover the entire face should be sufficient.
Time waits for no one.
Adam had been treating patients before, so gloves and other protective gear were essential. He was extra careful when he picked up Alex and put him on the stretcher.
Therefore, there is no problem.
However, after entering the Operating Room, she immediately asked the nurse to put on goggles and a mask for her.
It was only when Dr. Burke saw Adam's attire that he immediately realized Alex's special identity as Charm Poison patient.
I usually only wear a mask when performing surgery.
After everyone was dressed, they couldn't help but exchange glances when they saw Alex's injuries.
"Notify the Plastic Surgery Department."
Dr. Burke instructed the nurse.
This kind of injury definitely needs to be repaired by the Plastic Surgery Department afterwards.
With so many attending physicians present, the surgery went very smoothly.
"Who would be so ruthless?"
Dr. Burke glanced at Alex's wound again and couldn't help but ask.
"It might be the military husband of one of the female patients who had an affair with Alex."
Adam summed it up in one sentence.
"No wonder."
Dr. Shepherd exclaimed, "His marksmanship is excellent."
He said he was giving an eye for an eye, not targeting Alex personally.
Adam's lips twitched slightly.
"..."
Everyone fell silent.
Because the gunman actually did it.
He will retaliate against anyone who offends him.
Every shot hit the Alex brothers perfectly.
Afterwards, they even stomped on it several times.
You can tell at a glance.
It's definitely ruined.
"Has the gunman been caught?"
Dr. Burke frowned.
He is now the acting Chief of Surgery, Alex is a surgical intern.
For someone so determined to win the position of Chief of Surgery, encountering such trouble as soon as he takes over is definitely not a good sign.
"They should have caught them."
While assisting Dr. Burke with the surgery, Adam said, "Aside from the six shots that hit Alex, there were no other gunshots. I guess the other side wasn't planning to fight back."
Remembering the other person's reminder to "come out and clean up the mess," Adam couldn't help but add, "The gunman was very calm."
"This is not calmness."
Dr. Shepherd glanced at the wound again and said gravely, "This is terrible!"
Under normal circumstances, shooting is for the purpose of killing.
That's true; the process of dying is very quick.
But the gunman completely restrained his urge to kill. Not only was his marksmanship incredibly accurate, but he also made a special trip to the hospital. Adam couldn't help but suspect that the gunman was afraid that Alex was dead.
Otherwise, if the other party follows him first, finds a secluded place without surveillance, quietly kills Alex, and then disguises it, given the efficiency of the American Police in solving cases and their relationship with the military, this matter would probably just be dropped.
But he didn't do that.
They were even willing to expose their identities.
Besides the exhilarating feeling of taking revenge in public, Adam's first thought, based on the other party's calm and precise style, was that the other party didn't want Alex to die quickly.
The injuries were so severe that outside of a hospital, death was the only outcome; there was simply no time to get the injured to the hospital for emergency treatment.
The chances of survival are greatest in a hospital.
As for why such a great sacrifice was made to ensure Alex's survival?
Alex who survived in this state suffered ten thousand times more than Alex who died instantly.
This is exactly what they mean by "living a life worse than death."
Once the Plastic Surgery Department surgeon arrived, the surgery was handed over to him.
However, plastic surgeons don't really have a good solution for this type of injury.
It's all ruined.
The only option is to cut it all off.
The surgery is over.
Adam went straight to wash his entire body after leaving the Operating Room.
"OMG!"
"That's terrifying."
The hospital was filled with gasps of fear.
Empathy is one of the basic human instincts.
Regardless of whether Alex was in the wrong first, he is a doctor and a member of the medical profession.
Even those hospital colleagues who disliked Alex felt somewhat uncomfortable at this moment.
"Adam, are you alright?"
Bianca came over and asked with concern.
Although she moved out of Adam's apartment because she couldn't stand Adam, she still had deep feelings for Adam.
At the very least, he was much more deeply involved with her than Adam.
She was terrified when she heard that Adam was at the scene of the shooting.
"Fine."
Adam smiled and shook his head.
At this moment, Liz and the others also gathered around.
How is Alex?
"That's it."
Adam said, "Life is saved, but man is ruined."
"That's too much."
Liz said angrily, "Even if Alex was wrong, he shouldn't have been so vicious."
"But I heard that Alex stole someone else's wife first."
George couldn't help but retort.
It takes two to tango.
Meredith countered, "Alex didn't force his wife; it was his wife who initiated the Alex. Alex's actions were indeed wrong, but not to this extent."
"Yes."
Liz grew increasingly angry as she spoke, "I heard that he was on long-term overseas duty shifts, and his marriage had problems. He also bears some responsibility for that, since he didn't spend time with his wife."
"The matter is not yet clear, so let's not jump to conclusions."
Adam suggested, "Perhaps the other person is angry about more than just their wife's infidelity?"
Westerners actually have a very high tolerance for this kind of thing.
I wouldn't risk going to jail for something like this unless absolutely necessary.
Because once you go to jail, you'll mostly ruin yourself.
Your beloved, beautiful wife won't be waiting for you outside.
You mean?
Cristina, who had been aloof all along, immediately understood. "Alex infected his wife with the Charm Poison?"
"Very likely."
Adam explained, "Imagine a soldier who's been on duty overseas for months, returning home early to surprise his beloved wife. But in the midst of his enthusiasm, an unusual red dot catches his eye, leaving him completely bewildered. A seasoned soldier, however, immediately recognizes what it is..."
When the God of War returned, he saw his wife living in a doghouse. Enraged, the dog howled in distress.
"Then it's no wonder they were so ruthless."
Cristina shook her head.
Liz and Meredith were also somewhat stunned.
In Hollywood blockbusters, such scenes are often heartwarming and touching.
It is said that this is also the fastest and most direct way to accurately convey the relationship between the man and woman to the audience within a short film or television runtime of just over one or two hours.
Because of family ties and friendships, I can't do this.
There will absolutely be no misunderstanding.
If so, then they must have been graded in advance.
Not suitable for children.
It is precisely this mindset that makes the reversal described by Adam even more touching for them.
After all the hardships I endured to return as the God of War, this is what you show me?
That's so tragic...
