La Vie en rose

Medical Center.

In the corridor.

Meredith and Liz sat against the wall on the gurney, their eyes glazed over, both looking dejected.

Adam came.

"Meredith, did you do TTTS this afternoon?"

TTTS, twin transfusion syndrome.

The twins are connected by blood vessels in the placenta.

A fetus receives too much blood.

The other fetus received too little, putting both fetuses at risk.

From this perspective, Sheldon's frequent complaints that he should have killed his twin sister Missy while she was still in his mother's womb are actually quite problematic.

Because it's not even a question of whether he can beat Missy (he probably can't; one stab to the groin would teach Sheldon a lesson).

If he were to contract a disease like TTTS, and wanted to absorb more nutrients, Missy might end up dying with him.

Separating the blood vessels of twin fetuses is extremely difficult, so TTTS is generally untreatable unless you encounter a top-tier Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Dr. Montgomery, Shepherd's wife, was invited by Chief of Surgery Richard for two reasons. First, Chief of Surgery knew that Shepherd was having an affair with Grey's Anatomy.

He's the boss and doesn't like this kind of behavior that violates hospital rules.

Moreover, Dr. Montgomery was also a good friend of his, and he did not want the Shepherd couple to divorce, so he invited Dr. Montgomery to come and persuade and restrain Dr. Shepherd.

On the other hand, the hospital admitted this pregnant woman who had TTTS.

Dr. Montgomery is the best in this field.

It is his duty to bring in more outstanding doctors for the hospital and the General Surgery Department.

When Dr. Shepherd questioned him, he had perfectly legitimate reasons.

Business is business!

"I did it."

Meredith showed none of the joy one would expect from someone participating in a surgery of this caliber.

What a waste!

If it were Adam, unknowingly having intimate contact with the beautiful wife of a famous doctor, and that doctor immediately assigning him a rare and advanced surgery, insisting that Adam participate.

All he could say was: Give me a dozen of these!

"Then what?"

Adam suppressed his inner grumbling and pressed for details. "Tell me the details of the surgery."

"You're only focusing on the surgical details!"

Liz interjected, "Don't you know Meredith's situation? Don't you care about her feelings?"

"Okay, my mistake."

Adam readily admitted his mistake and asked with concern, "Meredith, how did you feel during the surgery? What actions did Dr. Montgomery take, and how did you feel with each one?"

"..."

Liz's face darkened.

"I'm fine."

Meredith forced a strong stance. "I'm fine."

"That's good."

Adam nodded, then asked seriously, "What were your feelings when Dr. Montgomery was performing those actions? Hmm, I know, it must have been during surgery, right?"

"..."

Meredith couldn't even maintain her forced smile.

Although the pregnant woman made all sorts of sarcastic remarks and humiliated her, she shouldn't feel any sense of vengeful pleasure from Montgomery's surgery.

"Okay, stop asking me how I felt, I'll get straight to the details of the surgery!"

Seeing that Adam was about to ask more questions, Meredith, fearing that she would hear Adam ask something that would challenge her nerves, quickly interrupted him and began to describe the details of the surgery in detail.

"First, we performed a laparoscopic examination, starting with a three-millimeter incision using a thin blade... The surgery was very successful. Do you know how I felt at that time?"

Seeing her so focused, I forgot that she was Shepherd's wife, my rival, and forgot my hostility. I just stared at her blankly.

I remembered what my aunt used to say to me, "It's all the men's and their brothers' fault, not us women! Never!"

"Hehe."

Adam was satisfied after hearing the detailed surgical procedure, but when he heard Meredith's words, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Why are you laughing?"

Meredith retorted, "Isn't it your fault, men and your brothers?"

"I'm not laughing at that."

Adam laughed and said, "I was thinking that you were looking at her like that, completely moved by her focused expression, and then you said it was all the men's fault, not yours, and never will be."

"You haven't awakened a yuri spirit, have you? If so, the two of you could ditch Dr. Shepherd and live together; it would be a legend."

"I think it's a good idea!"

Liz chimed in, "Men are all unreliable, otherwise there wouldn't be so many lesbians these days."

Adam glanced at her, thinking, "Is this a case of shared hatred, or is Alex paving the way for Alex to become a woman, and Liz is doing it in advance..."

"I simply admire her authoritative technique."

Meredith shook her head and said, "And her courage."

"Courage?"

Adam asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

"After the surgery, Mrs. Phillips, the patient, turned hostile and refused to see me again."

Meredith said with a complicated expression, "She didn't kick me when I was down, but directly confronted Mrs. Phillips, saying it wasn't my fault, and that I lacked the manners and patience I have. She said it wasn't her husband who cheated on me, but that she cheated first, and that Mrs. Phillips should apologize to me."

"She really said that?"

Liz was also incredibly surprised.

"Right."

Meredith nodded.

Tsk!

There's something about this red-haired female doctor.

Adam sighed.

"So, have they actually gotten divorced?"

Liz asked, puzzled.

"Have no idea."

Meredith was bewildered.

"Definitely not."

Adam analyzed, "If they were divorced, why would this happen? Based on the information we have, it's most likely that Dr. Shepherd discovered his wife's infidelity, and in a fit of anger, he left immediately. Dr. Montgomery only came more than two months later, probably waiting for Dr. Shepherd to calm down so they could start over."

"Then what about Meredith?"

Liz said indignantly.

"Tool Person to appease Dr. Shepherd."

Adam said earnestly, "Otherwise, no one, no, the vast majority of women would never treat their husband's mistress like that..."

There was something else he didn't say: Meredith should know best, because no one understands how to use Tool Person better than her!

Meredith was stunned.

Has she been turned into Tool Person?

Just then.

A melodious tune drifted in from outside the window; someone was plucking the strings of a musical instrument.

"Stay close to me."

You whisper a breeze in my ear.

Life is as fragrant as a rose.

Our deep kiss saddened the heavens.

My eyes are closed, but my heart is already intoxicated.

Life is as fragrant as a rose.

When you entered my heart.

Happiness is like spring water.

Roses are blooming everywhere.

You whisper softly, and the angels soar high.

Even everyday whispers drift by like love songs.

Please accompany me, body and soul.

Life will always be as fragrant as a rose.

The song "La Vie en rose" was sung with such poignant sorrow that everyone who heard it stopped in their tracks, fell silent, and listened intently. The infectious sadness in the female voice was deeply moving.

Adam was simply lost in thought.

Meredith and Liz were already in tears...
