King of Romance's Surname Was Wang

Medical Center.

Emergency room.

"Adam!"

Ted stood in front of the hospital bed and waved and called out to Adam as soon as he saw him.

When Adam came over, he introduced them, "These are my dad and mom. Today is my birthday, and they flew over to celebrate with me. My mom suddenly fainted for some reason."

"Hello, Mr. Mosby, Mrs. Mosby."

Adam greeted him with a smile.

Hello, Adam.

Ted's father nodded.

Lying in bed, Ted's mother smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, Adam."

"Don't mention it, Ted and I are good friends."

Adam smiled, flipping through the medical records as he asked, "Has this happened before?"

This is the first time.

"That's what Ted's mother said."

"But she used to have chest pains every year around this time."

Ted's father added.

"What?"

Ted shouted, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"It's only been in recent years, just a dull ache."

Ted's mother smiled awkwardly and said, "It's nothing serious, it will get better on its own in a few days. The doctor said it's nothing, so I didn't let your father tell you."

Adam sighed inwardly.

Parents' hearts are always full of love and worry.

That's how all parents are.

Unless absolutely necessary, I won't tell my children about any pain I'm experiencing, for fear of worrying them.

Adam also experienced this in its previous incarnation.

When I was in college, my parents always told me on the phone that everything was fine.

But when we went home for the New Year, we would find either marks on Dad's hands from firecrackers or marks on Mom's feet from being hooked by a giant centipede.

When asked, they laughed and said they were fine and it was nothing serious.

"Mrs. Mosby, let me do an electrocardiogram for you first."

Adam laughed.

"Good."

Ted's mother nodded with a smile.

"How about it?"

Ted watched as Adam performed an electrocardiogram on his mother and quickly asked a question.

"Something is amiss."

Adam comforted him, saying, "Let's do a blood test and an Ultrasound."

"Good."

Ted's mother was still smiling. Seeing Ted desperately trying to signal to Adam that he wanted to go outside to talk alone, she laughed and said, "Don't hide anything. You can tell me everything about my situation."

"Yes."

Ted's father chimed in, "We're not children anymore. We can handle whatever happens."

Adam looked at Ted.

"All right."

Ted helplessly, "Adam, you tell me."

"The electrocardiogram shows that Mrs. Mosby most likely suffered a myocardial infarction."

Adam said, "That is, a sudden heart attack."

"OMG!"

Ted's father shook his head.

"No!"

Ted let out a classic, unwilling exclamation.

"It hasn't been diagnosed yet, and it might not be."

Adam quickly offered words of comfort.

"It can't be!"

"Ted shouted."

Adam had the nurse draw blood from Ted's mother and send it to the lab, then took her for a cardiac Ultrasound.

"How about it?"

Ted said nervously.

"The Ultrasound was normal, and the blood test was normal as well."

Adam said, "It shouldn't be a sudden heart attack."

"Very good!"

"Ted called out, then noticed that Adam's expression hadn't relaxed, and his face changed: " Adam, is this good news?"

"Half and half."

Adam said in a deep voice, "Although it wasn't a sudden heart attack, the electrocardiogram shows that Mrs. Mosby definitely has some heart problems. We must find out the cause so that we can treat the symptoms and completely eliminate any hidden dangers."

The unknown is the most terrifying thing.

"So what should we do now?"

Ted rushed ahead.

"Mrs. Mosby needs to undergo a cardiac catheterization for further investigation."

Adam said.

"Then let's do it."

Ted's mother smiled and said, "Ted, don't worry, I'm fine."

Adam's gaze sharpened, and he gave her a deep look.

Although he wasn't as perceptive as Juno, Ted's mother's attitude was clearly problematic.

Is this overly optimistic?

Or should I comfort my son?

Or perhaps you already know the answer?

The examination room.

Adam used the excuse of family members stopping them to leave Ted and his son outside.

"Mrs. Mosby, is there anything you need to tell me?"

Adam said, "I am your doctor, and the doctor-patient confidentiality code stipulates that I cannot tell you anything you don't want others to know. So if you know anything, please tell me. Heart problems are not minor issues."

"No."

Ted's mother said softly, "I don't know what happened either."

What happened seven years ago today?

Adam asked in a gentle voice.

"What?"

Ted's mother's eyes widened in alarm.

"Your medical records show that you have experienced this every year on this day for the past seven years. In the past, it would get better on its own after a few days, but this year it has worsened and you have fainted."

Adam said, "Such precise numbers obviously can't be without reason. What exactly happened seven years ago today? Mrs. Mosby, you should tell me, otherwise if we can't find the problem, I'll still have to ask Ted and the others."

"Don't!"

"Ted's mother called out."

"I am just your doctor now, and my only responsibility is to cure you. Everything else has nothing to do with me."

Adam reiterated his position.

Clearly, this involves some kind of privacy, the kind that can't even be told to her husband and son.

Emmm.

Adam had already guessed something...

"I..."

Ted's mother turned her head away, avoiding Adam's gaze. After a long pause, she murmured, "Seven years ago today, our neighbor, our good friend Ted, passed away."

"..."

Adam's lips twitched.

Tsk!

That name!

This identity!

This is privacy!

He's already 95% sure.

"Don't tell Ted."

Ted's mother grabbed Adam's hand, her face pleading.

"Uh-huh?"

Adam nodded at first, then looked at her in surprise. "Only Ted?"

"His father and I are actually estranged."

Ted's mother forced a smile and said, "I just didn't want Ted to be sad, so I kept it a secret. My heart was given to him 29 years ago, and it was completely shattered seven years ago today with his passing. He was my soulmate, and we loved each other."

This "he" is Ted, my neighbor and good friend.

"Just soulmates? Then who is Ted's son?"

Adam couldn't help but ask.

Ted's mother wiped away her tears and did not answer.

Adam understood her gaze.

Perhaps she didn't know, but she hoped in her heart that Ted was his son. However, on the surface, Ted would only be her and her husband's son.

Another messy account!

"This is why I strongly oppose the haphazard arrangement and combination of posts on WeChat Moments!"

Adam was internally ranting and raving.

"Mrs. Mosby, you have Stress-induced Cardiomyopathy."

Adam explained, "At this time of year, your adrenaline surges for this reason, your blood pressure rises, you experience chest pain, and your heart stops beating for a moment."

"Is my heart also mourning for him?"

Ted's mother looked both happy and crying.

Adam remained silent.

To take an extramarital affair to such an extreme, yet appear so sincere—no wonder they're Ted's mom and dad...

Now Adam knows who Ted inherited his extreme romanticism from.

The King of Romance, his surname is Wang!
