Owen Li Calls Himself a Pro
520 Apartment.
It was in the early hours of the morning.
Everyone went home.
"What are you and Adam whispering about on the balcony?"
In the bedroom, after washing up, Monica casually asked while applying skincare products.
"About Joey."
Lying in bed, Chandler explained, "Adam told me to remind Joey to stop messing around. His friend Barney, who's Joey's equal in New York, has been infected with Charm Poison and is currently undergoing treatment."
"What?"
Monica was shocked. "You've really gotten infected?"
"Adam said that if Joey doesn't pay attention, the public service advertisement he filmed for the hospital back then, given his current status as a moderately famous soap opera actor and his dual identity as a firsthand experience participant, will definitely be offered to film another advertisement with him."
Chandler quipped, "You might even want him as a brand ambassador."
"But this is Charm Poison!"
Monica said speechlessly, "Do you remember what happened after Joey filmed this public service announcement, even though he didn't have Charm Poison?"
"Oh, of course I remember."
Chandler laughed and said, "He hasn't had a date for over a month, and his family wouldn't let him go home for Christmas, afraid he'd catch his 'infect'."
"Yes."
Monica said uncomfortably, "Joey has been doing this for over ten years without any problems. I almost forgot about it; it always felt so far removed from us."
All right.
This unease stems more from lingering fear.
She had quite a few relationships back then.
The same goes for Chandler.
Furthermore, Chandler also had a relationship with the legendary Aurora.
Aurora travels the world and has had more than one male companion in every place she visits...
"I've heard that some serious diseases can remain dormant for many years, is that true?"
Monica became increasingly frightened as she thought about it.
"We're fine."
Chandler quickly offered words of comfort.
"You do not know!"
Monica looked distressed. "What if it gets infected with the child later?"
"No... If you're worried, we can get it checked."
Chandler reassured him, "Adam is at the hospital. We can have him check up on us discreetly. It'll be very convenient."
"Did Adam say something to you?"
Monica pulled away from Chandler's embrace and stared at him. "He asked us last night if we wanted to have a baby? Was he worried we'd infect the child?"
At this point, she began to condemn and blame herself emotionally. "I hate you! I took a liking to you the first time you came to my house. What if you had taken a liking to me back then?"
If we are each other's one and only, then there's absolutely no need for this kind of worry!
I hate myself too! Why was I so shameless all those years ago? What's wrong with waiting a few more years...?
"..."
Chandler got a headache.
Back then, he was in college and Monica was in high school. They didn't know anything, so how could they possibly become each other's only one?
More importantly, Monica was in a situation involving 'two people' back then. How could he choose? Which one?
When my wife's OCD kicks in, it's really driving me crazy.
"No, really not..."
Chandler wanted to explain, but seeing Monica's flustered expression, he knew that words would be ineffective.
At the very least, I can forget about getting a good night's sleep tonight, so I simply pulled Monica up.
"What are you doing? I'm not in the mood for this!"
"Neither do I. Adam is on duty at the hospital tonight. We'll sneak over to him and have him do some tests to rule out any risks. That way, we can have peace of mind, right?"
"Good."
Monica jumped up when she heard that.
Adam went back to his apartment and was about to go to the hospital when he received a call from Chandler and the others.
"Then come over here."
Adam exclaimed in surprise.
After hanging up the phone, he couldn't help but smile.
This was actually within his expectations.
However, he underestimated Monica's reaction speed.
The excuse of leaking information to Chandler and his group and luring them to the hospital to rule out genital diseases was just that—an excuse. What he really wanted was for Chandler and Monica to undergo fertility tests.
Adam knew that Chandler was alright, but Monica genuinely wanted a child of her own.
The reason I broke up with the older man I loved back then was because he already had a child and didn't want to have any more.
Chandler and Monica both had issues in this area, making it very difficult for them to conceive a child.
Even though Adam, the great roc, was there to flap his wings and get Chandler to switch to a physically demanding coding job beforehand, and then drag him to go for a run every morning to exercise.
However, the actual effect remains to be seen.
If the couple still has difficulty conceiving, then time will be a crucial factor.
After all, a woman's prime age for having children is only a few years, and Monica is almost past that...
Moreover, as women get older, the success rate of conceiving decreases while the risks of pregnancy increase.
This is also one of the important reasons why Chandler and Monica later gave up pregnancy and chose to adopt in the original timeline.
They didn't have much time left to try.
Now that Adam is helping them, they started planning this two months into their honeymoon. If the test results aren't ideal, they immediately start putting in the time to work things out.
If we build it up for a few years, there's still hope.
What did we give in return?
It was just that Durex.
The overall experience has been significantly improved, hasn't it...?
Owen Lee immediately recognized the expertise in this.
Medical Center.
Adam waited outside.
Soon after, Monica and Chandler arrived in a hurry.
"Isn't it a blood test?"
Chandler held a Purple-Gold Alms Bowl used by Tang Sanzang on his journey to the West, and was both amused and exasperated.
"I want them both."
Adam said in a serious tone, "A comprehensive examination, you know."
"Stop talking nonsense and get going!"
Monica's domineering side kicks in. "This time, I'm making an exception and allowing you to think about Kathy in the bathroom."
"..."
Chandler gave a wry smile.
"Go ahead, I still need to take Monica for her checkup."
Adam patted Chandler on the shoulder and laughed, "The lady has spoken; this is a rare opportunity, seize it!"
Helpless, Chandler could only disdainfully carry the money bowl into the bathroom.
Adam then took Monica to see other female doctors.
Women and men are different, and it's not as convenient for women to undergo this kind of examination as it is for men.
"Cristina, what are you doing here?"
After settling Monica in, Adam bumped into Cristina as he came out and immediately frowned. "Didn't I tell you to look after Dr. Grey?"
"I want to too."
Cristina shrugged and said, "But she's resting now, and someone is willing to help look after her. There's no use me staying there, so I came out to walk around and see if there's anything I can do. Don't worry, I'll go check on her every half hour, no problem."
"Someone offered to help look at it? Who was it?"
Adam exclaimed in surprise.
"Go see for yourself."
Cristina said with a strange look in her eyes.
Adam became interested and immediately went over.
"Holy shit!"
When Adam arrived at the ward and looked inside, he was immediately dumbfounded.
