Expectant Parents Worked Like Dogs

On Monday.

Three o'clock in the morning.

Adam reported all 31,485 heart surgery data points.

Paige then leaned over the desk and continued working on the calculations.

These are all drafts for future papers.

Adam stood behind her for a full hour, completely unable to understand those complex and profound mathematical formulas.

Indeed, in the field of mathematics, he really is just a junior.

This made him determined to double the time he would spend studying mathematics.

Because mathematics not only helps him and Paige establish a common language, but it also strongly promotes his medical career.

Once such a significant paper is published, it will not only add a remarkable chapter to his resume, but will also add a shining new page!

But now, he can only watch helplessly, unable to understand anything.

The Duncan - Adler formula, to be honest, sounds a bit unethical.

However, this thought didn't even last a second before it was cut off by Adam's sword of wisdom.

Without Adam, how could Paige have possibly paid attention to this?

Just like a woman carrying a child for ten months, her contribution is undoubtedly the greatest.

But if a man doesn't get those first few minutes, no matter how capable a woman is, it's useless.

That was just an ordinary man.

Adam arrived at nine in the morning and worked until two in the afternoon, a full 14 hours.

They have both merit and hard work.

The child born from both of their brains can take his surname, no problem!

"Paige, I have to go back to the hospital. I'll come see you again tonight."

Adam raised his hand to check the time.

"Um."

Unlike her previous indifference, this time Paige still didn't look up, but she did respond with a sound.

"You should take a break."

Adam added another instruction.

Paige simply ignored him this time.

Adam went out of the room and knocked on the door across the hall.

Knock knock knock.

"Lisa?"

Knock knock knock.

"Lisa?"

Knock knock knock.

"Lisa?"

"Boss."

Lisa, still in her pajamas and bleary-eyed, opened the door, rubbed her eyes, glanced at the time, and complained, "It's four in the morning!"

"Your bonus will be doubled this month!"

Adam silenced her complaints with a single sentence.

"Boss, what can I do for you?"

Lisa looked at Adam with a bright and determined gaze.

They have this attitude of "I'll brave any danger for you, boss, as long as you give the order."

Nothing more.

In addition to a high monthly salary, Adam also gave her bonuses depending on the circumstances.

The amount of the bonus would make the average white-collar worker envious, let alone double it!

As if remembering something, Lisa gritted her teeth, turned her head, and pulled down the collar of her pajamas.

"..."

Adam's lips twitched.

What do you mean by that?

What do you take me for?

"Paige has entered a state of complete absorption in her research again. You need to keep an eye on her. I'll be back tonight, so please prepare an extra dinner."

Adam explained.

"Oh oh."

Lisa nodded repeatedly, and seeing Adam turn to leave, she subconsciously said, "Boss, is that all?"

"What else do you want to do?"

Adam complains.

"Well."

Lisa awkwardly pulled her pajamas collar back to its original position and shook her head, saying, "It's okay."

After Adam left.

"Is this my fault?"

Lisa went back to get the key to Paige's apartment and walked towards it in Paige pajamas, muttering to herself, "Knocking on my beautiful subordinate's door at four in the morning and offering to double my bonus, and she's such a womanizer herself, what am I supposed to think? I'm already being very lenient by not even thinking about group sex."

New York.

Medical Center.

Changing room.

"Adam, where have you been? Why didn't you come yesterday? I couldn't reach you by phone."

While changing her clothes, Cristina complained, "Without you, Dr. Grey completely ignores us. Didn't you even cancel your friend's dinner party before? How come you wasted a whole day and night this time?"

"Don't rush."

Adam was about to become a father, and he was in such a good mood that he couldn't help but smile. He said gently, "Dr. Grey is in very good condition. Even if she can't fully recover, she won't have any problems in the short term. We have time."

"Yes, it is, but why take the risk?"

Cristina's eyes were filled with an unwavering pursuit of knowledge.

"It was my fault."

Adam's smile vanished, and he reflected on his actions.

Indeed.

After a series of good things happening in quick succession, he became a little arrogant.

This is not good.

Alice Grey has Alzheimer's Disease. Even though everything seems fine now, no one can predict what will happen next.

Before that, he should focus all his energy on passing on her knowledge and experience.

"Then tonight?"

Cristina smiled when she saw Adam admit his mistake.

"Let's continue tonight."

Adam laughed.

"Okay, I'll go tell them the good news."

Cristina was overjoyed.

Adam's previous discussion with them resulted in the following arrangement: they would have private lessons every night in their small circle, and hold large open classes in the classroom every week or every other week, depending on the situation.

For Adam, there was no difference.

Because he wasn't afraid at all that any colleague would learn his 'unique and unparalleled secret technique'.

Learn whatever you want, as long as you're willing to learn.

In any case, no one's learning ability can surpass Adam's; they are simply not on the same level.

Adam was essentially a teaching assistant, or even a part-time professor or lecturer.

But for Cristina and her friends, it was a different story.

If everything is open, then it becomes a true competition of individual talent and effort.

Cristina remains confident that she can keep up with Adam.

However, the pressure of being chased will increase significantly.

Meredith and Liz, needless to say, if they don't work hard and keep spending their time on romance, they might end up being overtaken by others.

People are inherently selfish.

Cristina whispered something to Meredith about her best friend, and the special tutoring immediately began.

Adam did not refuse.

Because Dr. Grey's guardianship is with Meredith.

If Meredith becomes unhappy and sends Dr. Grey back to the sanatorium, it will be a huge loss for him.

Besides, it's only natural to treat friends to special meals; he doesn't have the Saintly Mother heart to fight for equal rights for other colleagues he's not familiar with.

After changing his clothes, Adam called Lisa as he came out, "I probably won't be there until early morning. Oh, and just prepare some midnight snacks!"

Hang up the phone.

Adam smiled.

For most people, it's impossible to have both fish and bear's paw.

She had to work during the day, study Dr. Grey's experience and knowledge at night, and also focus on Paige's "having their child." It was impossible to coordinate her time and energy.

But Adam's endurance is 'Just You Show', and it keeps improving.

Let's go all out, what's wrong with not sleeping for a few days?

He's still not full of energy.

Therefore, he planned to keep the private kitchen open as usual in the evening, and after it ended late at night, he would immediately drive to New Jersey to check on Paige's apartment to see how the 'production' was going on, and then return to New York without stopping.

It's normal for parents to be exhausted during special times.
