Tough Words, Honest Body

Medical Center.

Afternoon.

"Duncan, come here."

"Dr. Bailey greeted us."

"What is it, Dr. Bailey?"

Adam walked over quickly.

"Kerry Lodge's surgery is complete."

Dr. Bailey said, "She'll be waking up soon. The outcome of the surgery will need to be tested, and I don't think anyone is more suited for this job than you."

"OK."

Adam didn't say a word.

The ward.

"Hi."

"Hi."

Carey Lodge slowly awoke from the anesthesia and greeted Meredith.

Is it over?

"Hmm, the surgery was a success."

Meredith smiled and said, "We're just continuing to monitor your condition. Dr. Shepherd will be here to examine you soon."

"Say it again?"

Carey Lodge paused in his smile.

"What?"

Meredith was puzzled.

"Say his name, Dr. Shepherd."

Kerry explained, then realized his face wasn't burning up as usual, and exclaimed in surprise, "OMG! Look at my face!"

"You're all better now that you're not red at all."

Meredith laughed and said, "I'll never blush and miss my husband again..."

Just then, Adam walked in.

"Dr. Duncan."

Kerry looked over, and then she realized something was wrong. She reached up and touched her face, exclaiming in alarm, "My face is red again! Did the surgery fail?"

Meredith's face was grave.

"Take it easy."

Adam stepped forward, examined the patient, and comforted her, saying, "The surgery only reduced the effect of your sympathetic nerve transmission to a minimum, not completely blocked it. The blush you're experiencing now isn't the kind that could cause a high fever and dizziness; it's just normal blushing. The surgery was successful."

"Real?"

Kerry seemed to believe it but not quite.

"Real."

Adam laughed and said, "It's not your fault, it's my fault!"

"Hehe."

Kerry touched his face and, finding no trace of the exaggerated heat he used to feel, felt much more at ease and couldn't help but smile.

Meredith breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll go find Dr. Shepherd to examine you."

Since it concerned his own surgery, Dr. Shepherd arrived very quickly.

As Adam had said, the examination results showed that the surgery was successful and there were no problems.

Upon receiving the news, Cristina laughed and said, "Dr. Miracle and Mr. Dreamy's charm contest, are you convinced now?"

George and Liz both rolled their eyes, unwilling to respond.

Night falls.

Adam used his Money Power to quickly complete Dr. Grey's office.

All six caregivers came to participate in the great cause of caring for the legendary Dr. Dr. Grey.

Alice Grey was also moved from the VIP ward.

"Dr. Grey, these are some of the surgical videotapes you've done. We hope you can explain your thinking behind the surgeries and share some practical experience with us."

Adam pleaded.

"Us?"

Alice Grey frowned and said, "I don't have that much time to teach and mentor those clueless interns. You're the only one who can do it. You're qualified."

Thank you.

Adam smiled and, with a look that silenced the disgruntled Cristina, said tactfully, "Dr. Grey, I misspoke earlier. I am the only one who is your student. They are all my interns, just observing and doing odd jobs. I will answer any questions they may have and will not waste your precious time."

"OK".

Dr. Grey nodded calmly, then pointed to Meredith, who was leaning against the doorway trying to conceal her presence. "But she's not allowed here."

"Mother?"

Meredith looked at Dr. Grey in disbelief.

She did initially reject Adam's approach.

But since things had come to this point, she didn't want to pretend anymore.

She actually longed for Adam's words, "Start over with your mother, let her accompany you, help you, and witness your growth."

That's why she's standing here.

After all, it's after get off work hours now.

If she doesn't want to, no one can force her.

Unexpectedly, she did not investigate her mother's affair with the Chief of Surgery Richard, which resulted in her lack of fatherly love from the age of five, and she lived in the hospital with her single mother ever since.

Instead, her mother went even further, saying such hurtful things.

Thinking of this, her eyes welled up with tears.

"She's a child, I don't want to work with her."

Alice Grey remained oblivious and said indifferently.

In her memory, Meredith has always been a child.

Children should play on their own; how can you disturb them while they're working?

"Dr. Grey, Meredith is no longer a child, I'm sure of that..."

Adam paused.

If any family's child possessed this incredible skill of 100% Drunk and Losing Pants, they would probably all, like Li Jing, the general of Chentang Pass, betray their own family for the greater good.

Of course, if you encounter Li Jing, who can catch a blade barehanded 100% of the time, that's a different story.

Suppressing this distracting thought, Adam continued, "She has completed her medical school studies and become a qualified intern. You can test her if you don't believe me."

After saying that, he gave Meredith a wink.

Cristina immediately moved from Dr. Grey's side to Meredith's side and whispered a reminder: "She's a patient, so just go along with her."

"All right."

Dr. Grey glanced at Adam and nodded, saying, "I'm here to ask you..."

Meredith initially intended to ignore her mother's question.

But under Cristina's pull, and despite having the urge to 'slap' her mother in the face, she suppressed her resentment and focused intently on answering her mother's questions.

Dr. Grey has never liked her daughter.

But after all, they are mother and daughter. How could she not have inherited any of her mother's strong medical talent?

Meredith's talent in medicine was naturally not as great as her mother's, but it was still top-notch.

This is why, despite her past flirtatious and carefree lifestyle, she was able to rank at the top of her class at Harvard Medical School and become best friends with the academic superstar Cristina.

However, as Dr. Grey increased the difficulty by almost a 90-degree vertical line, Cristina, who was subconsciously answering the question in her mind, began to frown, and Meredith naturally got stuck.

Despite her natural talent, she couldn't Cristina, a gifted but hardworking academic achiever.

That's it?

"Dr. Grey said indifferently."

"..."

Meredith's face turned red.

Liz looked at her with pity.

Having a mother like this is absolutely a headache.

Just two short words can break your heart.

George couldn't resist wanting to transform into Dr. Grey's husband, Zack, again and stop Dr. Grey like he did last night, but he was glared at by Adam, and then his view was completely blocked by Adam standing over.

"Dr. Grey, this question is beyond the scope of an intern's knowledge. It's normal that Meredith can't answer it."

Adam smoothed things over, saying, "As their mentor, it's only right that I answer this question..."

Then he gave the answer.

"Dr. Grey, they are following me, they won't interfere with your work."

Adam laughed and said, "I promise."

"All right."

Dr. Grey nodded. "You're in charge of your intern. Let's begin."

Meredith: "..."

Who is your child after all?

Faced with such drastically different attitudes, she would rather her mother ignore her altogether.

"Hemipelvectomy..."

Adam pressed play, and the specially placed large-screen TV immediately displayed a surgical video. The young Dr. Grey was wearing a mask, so her face was not visible.

However, her resolute, confident, and almost indifferent eyes revealed her charm to the fullest.

As the elderly Grey recounted her story, Adam and the others became completely engrossed.

Including Meredith.
