Adam of Unyielding Integrity

Medical Center.

Outpatient ward.

"Dr. Duncan, come here!"

Elizabeth asked intently, "Is there something wrong with my heart? Why aren't you coming over to listen?"

"Dr. Plimpton, please get dressed."

Adam suppressed his inner turmoil and turned to the side, speaking seriously, "I don't know what Leonard told you, but I'm not the kind of person you imagine."

I know you're a decent person.

Elizabeth's smile was about to burst out, so she simply stepped forward, reached out and tried to grab Adam's hand, forcing Adam to listen to her heart.

"You're the doctor, I'll do whatever you say~"

"..."

Adam's lips twitched. He dodged her hand, looked her straight in the eye, and said in a deep voice, "I'm serious, this isn't some cosplay game!"

Elizabeth was taken aback, looked at Adam carefully, and realized that she seemed to have really misunderstood.

"Sorry."

She quickly put on her clothes, looking apologetic, and said, "I heard Leonard say... I thought you were my confidant..."

"It's all Leonard's fault."

Adam smiled wryly and said, "He likes you a lot, so sometimes he has to exaggerate a bit. You can understand, right?"

"I understand."

Elizabeth nodded, but a lingering sense of loss remained in her eyes.

Persistence?

Don't be ridiculous!

Although she enjoys playing cosplay games at the Fifty Shades level, she is, after all, an outstanding and brilliant scientist.

This game is just a hobby for her, not her whole life.

Therefore, seeing Adam's attitude, she quickly recovered.

"I'm all better now."

Elizabeth smiled and said, "Thank you for the treatment, Dr. Duncan."

"You're welcome."

Adam also appreciated her attitude.

Elizabeth is gone.

The nurses looked at Adam with admiration.

Everyone says Dr. Duncan is a womanizer.

But faced with such a beautiful and elegant woman, who was clearly up to no good, Dr. Duncan remained calm and unmoved.

He's practically the epitome of a good man, isn't he!

If anyone criticizes Dr. Duncan for being a womanizer again, they will definitely not stand for it.

Adam paid no attention to the stares of others.

A corner of the hospital building's corridor.

There was a small cart that specifically sold food and drinks to medical staff.

Doctors come by every now and then to replenish their energy.

As Adam walked by, he saw George, Cristina, Meredith all lying on the trolley, eating bread and drinking coffee.

"Adam, want something to eat?"

George greeted him warmly.

Adam glanced at the cart, but there were no delicacies like braised pig's feet, so it wasn't appealing at all. He shook his head and said, "No thanks, I'm not hungry."

Cristina and the others ate while gossiping.

Adam, on the other hand, habitually stood aside and listened, partly to learn about new cases and partly to stay informed about the latest developments in the hospital.

But today he seemed a little lost in thought.

No way!

Since becoming a super genius, the High-Definition Photographic Memory he 'copied' from Sheldon has been fully loaded.

While this ability is very helpful for his studies and work, it also has some side effects.

For example, right now, the images of Elizabeth from just now are vividly appearing in his mind, and he can't shake them off.

"As expected of a seasoned cosplayer, coming to a hospital in broad daylight and even going topless, is it for convenience?"

Adam couldn't help but complain inwardly.

Seeing how serious she was, Adam had a strong suspicion that if he weren't such an honest and upright person, she might actually stage a doctor-patient 'daytime consultation' scene.

Wow, that's really clever!

Adam sighed, then zoomed in on the details countless times, thinking, "Well, I can't let her make the trip for nothing. I might as well help her diagnose it and rule out any possible illnesses. It's my way of showing my appreciation."

Alas, ruthlessness does not necessarily equate to heroism.

Despite his tough exterior, he has a gentle heart.

"Adam, Adam!"

Cristina's scream interrupted Adam's diagnosis.

"What are you thinking about? You seem so lost in thought."

"Nothing."

Adam smiled.

"I heard you had a hermaphrodite oophorectomy today?"

Cristina asked enviously and jealously, "Did Burke take the initiative to ask you to take charge?"

"Um."

Adam looked at her with a half-smile, "Don't be envious. Actually, if you hadn't been so busy these past few days, Dr. Burke would probably have asked you to take charge."

Cristina's skill level is the best besides Adam's.

If she hadn't been intentionally or unintentionally avoiding Dr. Burke these past few days, given her ambiguous relationship with Dr. Burke would probably have been really torn between her and Adam for a while.

"What important matter do I have to do?"

Cristina avoided Adam's gaze and stubbornly retorted.

"Something must be wrong with you!"

Meredith couldn't help but voice Adam's logic.

Cristina's eyes immediately lit up.

"Hey, can you smell it?"

George suddenly leaned in very close and secretly winked at everyone.

"What?"

Cristina quickly took over the conversation.

"Over there, the anesthesiologist, Dr. Tyler."

George glanced at a middle-aged male doctor standing not far away. "He seems to be a bit of an alcoholic."

"As long as it's not during the daytime work hours, who cares if he drinks excessively or not."

Meredith retorted, "Haven't we had enough of drinking and relaxing when we got back tonight?"

"We were drinking."

Adam joked, "That's alcoholism."

In the United States, alcoholism is so prevalent that members of Alcoholics Anonymous are found all over the country.

Meredith clearly has a tendency to drink alcohol.

When he drinks too much, his pants fall down, and no one can stop him.

He drinks himself into oblivion all the time.

It's perfectly normal for someone like her to refute George.

"I meant during working hours."

George whispered, "Dr. Shepherd admitted a young patient, and I was the attending physician. I think I smelled alcohol on Dr. Tyler, which is why I asked you if you could smell it."

"No."

Meredith shook his head.

"George, don't go looking for trouble."

Cristina warned, "Dr. Tyler is the best anesthesiologist in the hospital. If you offend him, you'll definitely be kicked out of the Operating Room, and you won't be able to enter the Operating Room whenever he's around. Do you believe me?"

"But what he did was despicable!"

George hesitated, "The patient trusts him so much, should I go and report this to him?"

"The patient trusts the Attending Physician, Shepherd."

Adam glanced at him. "It was Dr. Shepherd who trusted him and hired him as the anesthesiologist. If you really feel it's necessary, don't say it in public. Just secretly tell Dr. Shepherd, and then it's none of your business. After all, the right and responsibility for the surgery belong to Dr. Shepherd."

Although George sometimes fawns over the goddess Meredith without any principles.

However, under normal circumstances, they still have a strong sense of justice.

Otherwise, how could a mere intern have the audacity to report on the hospital's most skilled anesthesiologist?

Cristina's warning was not just empty talk if she angered the anesthesiologist.

No Attending Physician would be willing to offend a top-notch anesthesiologist for the sake of a tattletale intern.

Therefore, Adam still offered a word of advice.
