Who Has the Strongest Aggressive Flirting Skills?

Medical Center.

Ward 2.

The patient, Bill, has not yet woken up.

Adam checked all the data indicators, and they all showed normal.

Then, looking at Bill sleeping soundly in the hospital bed, and thinking about how he was born infertile and his wife was about to give birth, I felt a strange sense of absurdity.

Nothing more!

The key point is that the couple gave Adam a very loving first impression.

Who knows... emmm...

No wonder I heard that Dr. House next door has always been deeply skeptical and critical of human nature, and often likes to test human nature, with results that are always as expected.

There are simply too many weaknesses and too few bright spots in human nature.

Spending too much time in the hospital makes it easy to see all sorts of weaknesses.

Adam estimated that after some time, when he saw such a loving couple again, his first thought would no longer be admiration, but scrutiny.

Is this true love?

Or are they just showing off their love?

What unsettling ugliness lies hidden beneath the surface of affection?

"Your marriage is a complete scam."

Just then, Dr. Burke's suppressed, angry accusations came from outside the ward.

It seems that Dr. Burke considered it for a long time, but in the end he couldn't just sit by and watch his good friend live in such a "passable" happiness, and didn't choose to pretend he didn't know anything about "family matters that even an upright official can't settle."

"We are very happy now."

The patient's wife Holly, retorted, "We've wanted a child for a long time, why are you taking away his joy?"

Does he know you're cheating on him?

Dr. Burke hit the nail on the head.

Holly paused, adjusted her tone, no longer assertive but pleading. "Preston, this is a matter between my husband and me. Please forget about it. Why can't we just let it go?"

"Because Bill is my best buddy, and he didn't know the child wasn't his."

Dr. Burke said angrily, "Holly, you should tell him!"

"Why?!"

Holly dropped her pleading and snapped, "I won't let your values ruin my life! If you were truly his best friend, you wouldn't have told him! As long as he doesn't know, he won't be upset! By telling him, you're deliberately trying to make him sad!"

Dr. Burke: "..."

Adam: "..."

What powerful logic!

How self-righteous!

If Holly hadn't been a patient's family member, a pregnant woman about to give birth, and none of his business!

He really wanted to go over and say a few words to them.

What are your values?

Burke's values are clearly universal, and not even a distorted version.

This is something that any normal person should abide by.

Otherwise, why would Dr. Burke ask you in advance and let you tell him yourself?

Just tell your good buddy when the time comes, then you won't have a chance to make excuses now.

It's simply because he adheres to universal values.

And if Holly despises this set of values so much and thinks it will ruin her life, then why ask Dr. Burke to keep quiet about this for the sake of his good friend?

Thinking of your best friend is a universal value.

So if it's in your favor, you have to comply.

If it doesn't suit your taste, it's trash.

Adam saw something powerful in her...

"Casual!"

Dr. Burke was silent for a moment, then sneered, "Perhaps a friend shouldn't say this, but I'm still his Attending Physician. A doctor doesn't hide anything from a patient!"

After saying that, he didn't want to look at his sister-in-law Holly again and turned away.

Holly stood there, her expression complicated.

I'll hate Burke for a while.

She started to feel sorry for herself.

I'll rub my belly in a bit.

In the end, he didn't even go into the ward; he just left.

Adam was dumbfounded.

What kind of operation is this?

Without leaving an explanation or making any effort to persuade them to stay, they just left in a hurry?

Could it be that this is standard practice in United States divorce cases, and Bill is taking advantage of being hospitalized to consult a good divorce lawyer and maximize his interests?

Thinking about it, it's actually quite possible.

In the Big Bang Theory, the entomologist consulted by Sheldon and Howard was just out doing research when his wife ran off with all his money while he was away.

This "run" isn't the kind of "running away" we mean!

Entomologists later found out where the couple was having a good time, but they were powerless to do anything about it, which only shows that taking all the money was probably legal.

This is the power of being prepared beforehand and finding a good divorce lawyer.

Otherwise, why would lawyers be considered a typical middle-class profession alongside doctors who heal the sick and save lives?

Help!

A money-saving measure!

Adam couldn't help but glance at the patient again.

Just then, the patient woke up.

"You're awake?"

"Dr. Duncan, it seems the surgery was successful?"

Bill a weak laugh.

"Dr. Knox is the best gynecologist, and Dr. Burke personally assisted. The surgery was very successful."

Adam laughed.

"Thanks."

Bill was overjoyed and turned his head to look. "Where's my wife?"

"Well."

Adam paused, got up to check the data, and said, "I don't know either. Shall I go and call Dr. Burke for you?"

"Thanks."

Bill didn't think much of it.

"Dr. Burke, the patient is awake."

Adam went to see Dr. Burke.

Dr. Burke's expression was complicated. After thinking for a moment, he still walked towards ward number 2.

Is Holly there?

"No, the patient was just asking about it."

Adam pretended not to know.

This is not something to be proud of.

He believed that Dr. Burke did not want him to know.

Moreover, the surgery was over, and the postoperative results looked very good. Adam had basically fulfilled Dr. Burke's entrustment perfectly.

That's enough.

Following Dr. Burke to the outside of ward number 2, and seeing that Dr. Burke had no further instructions, Adam tactfully left first.

Ring ring.

The phone rang.

Adam opened it and his eyes narrowed.

It finally happened.

"Okay, I'm coming."

Adam answered the phone, said one sentence, and headed towards the outpatient clinic.

"Dr. Duncan."

A young nurse gestured with her lip toward the closed ward.

Adam understood, pushed open the door, and sure enough, he saw Elizabeth Plington standing there gracefully.

"Dr. Plimpton."

"Dr. Duncan."

Elizabeth looked at Adam with delight, without mentioning that she shouldn't have used such a formal address.

You know, when we met yesterday, she asked Adam to call her Elizabeth.

Are you feeling unwell anywhere?

Adam asked.

"This..."

Elizabeth glanced at the nurse who had followed her in. "Can we talk alone?"

"No! That's hospital policy."

The nurse said expressionlessly.

"Does your hospital have this policy?"

Elizabeth was no ordinary person; she laughed immediately upon hearing this, "Patients' right to privacy isn't being protected?"

The nurse's face stiffened.

"Alright, you can go out now."

Adam thought for a moment and decided to get rid of Elizabeth quickly so that everyone could have peace of mind.

He didn't believe she could do anything in broad daylight.

The nurse had no choice but to leave dejectedly.

"Can you tell me now?"

Adam laughed.

"My heart seems to be beating abnormally."

Elizabeth judo.

"Okay, I'll take a look."

Adam turned around to get his stethoscope.

He was a surgeon, not an internist, so he didn't always have a stethoscope hanging around his neck.

Then, when he got the stethoscope, he turned around and his mouth twitched.

What are you doing?

"I'll let you listen to the auscultation."

Elizabeth said innocently.

Adam turned away, avoiding looking directly at the 'ignorant and innocent' Elizabeth.

"Even with clothes on, we can hear the heartbeat through them."

"Yeah?"

Elizabeth chuckled and asked, "Mine, or yours?"

Adam: "..."
