Not Easy for Anyone

Paige's apartment.

"Hehe."

Upon hearing Sheldon's words, Paige burst out laughing.

Adam's response was. "...(ω`ll)"

Fortunately, Adam quickly realized what was happening and retorted, "Aren't you missing a suffix?!"

"Bazinga!"

There was a few seconds of pause on the other end of the phone before Sheldon's cheerful laughter came through.

Adam breathed a sigh of relief.

I knew I was just kidding!

But he can't afford to take this joke.

"Waaah!"

Paige wanted to continue teasing the topic, but Adam, with his sharp eyes, immediately covered her mouth with his hand.

Adam spoke a few more words with Sheldon, assuring him that the two security guards were sent by him and reassuring Sheldon to go to Chicago with them, before decisively hanging up the phone.

"What's wrong?"

Paige was somewhat displeased.

She only had two friends, and now that they finally had such a great opportunity to chat on the same wavelength, it was such a happy occasion, but Adam ruined it.

I was just teasing you a bit.

Is it really necessary?

It's not what you think.

Adam smiled wryly and said, "I don't really care, I just don't want you to do something pointless."

No matter how much you say, I can't hear you.

And once you talk too much, all I hear is a series of beeps.

That's too harsh.

Although Paige didn't quite understand the mystery of the words "unspeakable," seeing how pitiful Adam was, she didn't dwell on the topic any further.

Adam breathed a sigh of relief.

"Still not steady enough. As punishment, copy the Stability Sutra three thousand times!"

Adam made a decision in his mind and began to write the Stability Sutra) directly in the starry sky, just like the beginning of Star Wars, with background music.

Four o'clock in the morning.

It was still dark.

Adam kissed the sleeping Paige on the forehead, gave Lisa and the others instructions, and then drove away from New Jersey in the midst of a storm.

Last night was filled with thunder and lightning, and the wind howled outside, creating an apocalyptic scene.

Adam had no doubt that hospitals would see a surge in patients today who were injured because of this awful weather.

New York.

Medical Center.

Changing room.

When Adam arrived, Meredith, George, and Liz were also there, changing their clothes.

Cristina, on the other hand, was still wearing the same white coat as yesterday.

"You haven't changed your clothes?"

Adam chuckled.

"Change what?"

Cristina shrugged and said, "I didn't have the time or the mood. I was sleeping soundly last night when I was woken up by an emergency. Lightning struck a substation, and everyone who was at the hospital was called to evacuate patients."

"Doesn't the hospital have a backup generator?"

Adam asked in surprise.

"Only one of them is working; the other one is completely broken and hasn't been replaced."

Cristina complained, "They can only guarantee power to the Operating Room; all the emergency room patients have been sent there."

How could this be?

As George changed his clothes, he complained, "You know it's broken, why don't you change it? What if something happens?"

"Go and talk to the director."

Cristina pouted and said, "This year's budget originally included replacing the backup generator, but it was rejected by the director instead, and they saved money by buying an MRI machine instead."

George immediately fell silent.

"By the way, none of you are allowed to take that patient with the herniated disc from me. If anyone does, I'll fight them!"

Cristina glanced at everyone and said domineeringly.

"Are you talking about Mr. Hunter Lamotte, the nurse who helps with pain management? Hasn't he had surgery yet?"

Adam's eyes lit up.

He was also quite interested in the surgery.

"It was originally scheduled to be made yesterday."

Cristina stared at Adam: "But given yesterday's situation, do you think Dr. Shepherd had time to deal with him? It dragged on until today! I started taking care of this patient last night, so this surgery is rightfully mine, don't try to take it from me."

"Dr. Shepherd said that it was up to Dr. Shept to decide who would perform the surgery during rounds."

Adam looked at Meredith and smiled, "Isn't it me you should be most worried about?"

Meredith remained expressionless.

It's you!

Cristina said, "Meredith isn't interested in this, so it's just the two of us..."

"Hi!"

George couldn't help but shout.

"Do you think George and I are dead?"

Liz also expressed her dissatisfaction.

Cristina gave them both a knowing look, letting them figure it out for themselves, before turning back to Adam: "You have no idea what I went through last night... If you still consider me a friend, don't try to take this surgery from me."

"Alright."

Adam Cristina had already made up her mind, Adam stopped worrying about this mere surgery.

Of course, if it were a surgery that Adam had never performed, that would be a different story.

Even if it meant inserting a scalpel into a friend's arm for that kind of surgery, it was all to save more patients.

Even if your friends don't understand right now, they will eventually understand in time.

Emmm.

Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been mutually exclusive!

"Thanks."

Cristina's face lit up with joy.

"Don't rush off, have you forgotten something?"

Adam stopped her, asking with a playful tone, "What exactly did you give up last night?"

Upon hearing this, George and the others all looked over.

"Nothing."

Cristina didn't want to talk about it.

So you were lying to me?

Adam said seriously, "As for the surgery, let's each rely on our own abilities."

"Just tell me, what can't you say?"

Liz laughed.

"Yes."

George egged them on.

"Okay, okay."

Seeing that everyone was determined to gossip to the end, Cristina had no choice but to confess.

It turned out that after the power outage, Mr. Lamotte, the patient, could no longer watch his pain-relieving movies, and immediately became unbearably in pain.

His wife wasn't there, and the nurses were too busy transferring patients to pay attention to him.

Cristina, who was passing by, saw this and came in to check on Mr. Lamot. She found that his elevated blood pressure and rapid pulse were not faked.

This changed my opinion that 'Mr. Lamotte is a pervert'.

It turns out that art films really can calm Mr. Lamotte down and reduce his pain.

So she started trying to find ways to relieve his pain.

I can't take any medication because of an allergic reaction.

In the end Cristina had no choice but to become a voice actress and vividly recount the story of Liu Bei's Oath of the Peach Garden to Mr. Lamote, which kept him entertained until the phone rang.

"Puff!"

After she briefly explained the situation, Adam and the others burst out laughing.

What did you do?

"Hahaha."

"Ouch, my stomach."

"Don't laugh!"

Cristina glanced at the other doctors changing clothes in the distance and said angrily in a low voice, "I'm just doing my duty as a doctor to treat patients!"

"You're mistaken. You're clearly doing a nurse's job!"

Adam made a pun, teasing remark.

"Hahaha."

"Nurse Cristina!"

Liz and George burst into laughter again.

"You are the nurses!"

Cristina slapped Liz and George angrily, glared at Adam, and left.
