Emma

Medical Center.

VIP ward.

"No!"

Marshall cried out in alarm upon hearing Adam's warning.

"Relax."

Barney said dismissively, "Adam is just bluffing you. I'm all set."

No, he didn't.

Adam shook his head. "It hasn't been half a year yet, so we can't be sure if he's completely cured. There's still a risk of infection."

"I will take safety precautions."

Barney retorted, "Believe me, nobody knows more about security than me. I'm not Joey Tribiany, and I don't want little brats."

"I will not tell you about my professor."

Marshall said with a bitter face.

Who do you think I am?

Barney laughed smugly, "No one can escape once I've set my sights on them. It's okay if you don't tell me."

"Looks like nothing can stop you now?"

Adam sneered, "Marshall's future, Marshall's friendship with you, none of them matter!"

"Come on!"

Barney paused, then shrugged and said, "It's not that exaggerated. How does it involve Marshall's future?"

"Are you genuinely unaware, or are you pretending not to know?"

Adam scoffed, "Does Marshall want to tell you seriously that this concerns his future and his life?"

"Barney, I'm serious!"

Marshall immediately said seriously, "You mustn't do anything reckless. She's our professor for our major courses. If you anger her, I might not be able to graduate."

You know how much effort I put into studying law!

Like medical school, law school requires an undergraduate degree and tuition is extremely expensive.

Just look at Marshall's pants and you'll know.

A Columbia Law School student, he only owns one pair of dress pants.

I only wear it on formal occasions.

Even so, after a while, his pants developed a hole.

I don't have money to buy new pants.

All I could do was use a pen to blacken the hole where my white underwear was showing, barely making it look the same color so that people wouldn't notice it at a glance.

That's all.

Barney was also inconsiderate of his friend. In order to get Marshall to come to their company and hang out with him, he ripped the pants in half, forcing Marshall to go with him to buy new ones.

Then, ignoring Marshall's financial situation, he tricked him into believing he could get a 50% discount.

But when the bill arrived, they discovered that even with a 50% discount, it still cost several thousand dollars.

He can't afford to pay so much money.

In the end, he had to give up his dream of volunteering at an environmental organization with his idol to make the world a better place, and instead went to Barney's company, which polluted the environment everywhere, to do his part in defending these bastards.

They made a lot of money.

But Marshall was not happy at all, and his professional skills did not improve much.

Because Barney really just wanted to drag him over to play.

At work, he often dragged Marshall along to deal with the "enemies" in the building across the street, playing all sorts of pranks on each other, wasting time and life.

After earning enough money to buy an expensive custom-made suit, Marshall almost lost himself and even lost Lily, but then he suddenly realized his mistake and resolutely left.

What's the point of going through all this trouble?

It was just a joke Barney made on the spur of the moment.

Lily and Ted also looked at Barney.

"Okay, okay."

Barney couldn't stand everyone's stares and said dejectedly, "I won't do anything reckless, okay?"

I hope you can do it.

Adam gave him a deep look.

Ring ring.

Just then, the phone rang.

"Ross?"

Adam answered the phone, "Okay, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone and saying goodbye to everyone, I rushed to the emergency room.

Since he became an intern at the Medical Center, he's noticed a rapid increase in the number of times his friends are going to the emergency room.

Hmm, it must be an illusion.

"Adam".

"Just arrived," a panda-man cried out in a wronged tone.

"Ross?"

Adam didn't recognize him at first, but after looking closely, he could barely make out some of Ross's features.

It's no wonder he was blind.

Ross not only got punched in the eyes, but his face was also bruised and swollen. Even if his mother came, she would only react like Adam.

What's wrong with you?

"I was beaten up."

Ross was both heartbroken and frustrated.

"I can tell."

Adam was both amused and exasperated. "But why?"

Despite his somewhat volatile temper, Ross is actually a homebody who doesn't dare to cause trouble.

Back then, he and Chandler were bullied by two thugs so much that they didn't even dare to go to the Central Perk anymore.

It was Adam who eventually stepped in and resolved the issue.

Otherwise, the two of them would either drink terrible instant coffee at home or sneak off to the Central Perk, gulp down the coffee no matter how hot it was, and then quickly leave, afraid of being caught by the bully.

Ross, who's so timid, only dares to be fierce and competitive when playing football with his younger sister Monica.

And so, he was often taught to act like an older brother by the even more competitive Monica.

Adam simply couldn't imagine Ross taking the initiative to start a fight.

Emmm.

Okay, there are still visuals.

In other words, they pretend to be about to start a fight, but as soon as they're about to take action, they pause and put forward various additional conditions.

For example, you can't slap someone in the face.

He forbids others from using their watches as concealed weapons, but he doesn't care about his own watch and asks if he can use it.

Then someone stole the items, and while chasing after them, the person tripped over a rubber band that a child was playing jump rope on the street...

"It's Mona."

Ross said sadly.

"Puff!"

Adam burst out laughing, "She abused you, beat you up like this?"

"Please let me finish speaking, okay?"

Ross stared at Adam.

"Hahaha."

Adam laughed even harder.

Ross, sporting panda eyes, was still glaring at people like he always had.

That's hilarious.

"..."

Ross was completely devastated.

"Okay, okay, I promise I won't laugh anymore."

Adam quickly suppressed his anger and got to the point. "This Mona, if it weren't for her, you wouldn't even care that Rachel was pregnant with your daughter, how did things turn out like this?"

"I don't!"

Ross panicked. "I asked Rachel before, and she said she didn't want to start over with me, not that I gave her up and Emma for Mona!"

"Huh, has it been decided that her name will be Emma?"

Adam exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, Rachel got it."

Ross said helplessly, "I originally wanted to name her Helen."

"Are you serious?"

Adam's lips twitched. "Helen Geller? If I remember correctly, when Carol was pregnant with your child, they wanted to name the child Helen, but you rejected that idea outright."

What did you say back then?

"..."

Ross couldn't help but look embarrassed.

Helen Geller and Helen Keller sound very similar.

That's Helen Keller, who lost her hearing and sight in childhood due to illness, later worked hard to become a writer, and wrote "If I Had Three Days of Light".

Although they are celebrities, as parents, no one would want their daughter to follow in Helen Keller's footsteps.

This is a bad omen!

Therefore, he scoffed at it and strongly opposed it at the time.

But when it came to Rachel and his daughter, he momentarily forgot about it.

"This is different."

Ross explained forcefully, "If Rachel doesn't marry me, our daughter will take her surname. As long as it's not Geller, Helen Green is still a good name!"
