Heartbreaking to Hear, Tear-Jerking to See

Medical Center.

Emergency room.

"Indeed, it's quite good."

Adam didn't comment on the name again, as long as it wasn't Adam Green or Adam Geller.

"Let's get back to the matter of you being beaten. What exactly happened?"

"Mona and I broke up."

With black eyes and a bruised and swollen face, Ross put on a sad expression, which made Adam very uncomfortable.

"Uh-huh."

Adam didn't speak, but simply responded with a nasal sound.

"She dumped me, can you believe it?"

Ross's voice rose sharply. "After all I've done for her."

What did you do for her?

Adam asked curiously.

"..."

Ross paused, thought for a moment, and then exclaimed, "I gave her the keys to my apartment, and I even argued for her with Dr. Green."

"But you just gave them the apartment key and then changed the locks."

Adam kindly reminded you, "I also know about when Dr. Green came to see you. You didn't argue back then; you were just being careful and apologetic to both sides the whole time. I heard you were sweating profusely and eventually collapsed on the sofa, almost having a breakdown."

"Hi!"

Ross panicked and yelled, "That was an accident! I only have one key! I can't get back to my apartment without changing the locks! And when Dr. Green. Dr. Green called her by her courtesy name, I shouted at him to stop!"

"Just that one moment..."

Adam blurted out something without thinking, and then, seeing Ross swaying as if he was about to faint from anger, he quickly helped him sit down.

"... That's because you're doing everything you can to protect her! You've been really good to her."

"But she doesn't know how to cherish it at all."

Ross sat down and took a few deep breaths. "Rachel is pregnant with my daughter. Isn't it reasonable to have Rachel move in for a while so that we can take better care of them?"

"Yes, that makes perfect sense."

Adam nodded solemnly.

"Well."

Ross suddenly sighed, "Actually, it's all my fault. Whether it was changing the locks or Rachel moving in, she had every reason to be angry. I just blame her for not breaking up with me sooner."

"..."

Adam's lips twitched.

Listen to this, is this human language?

Mona was so forgiving of you, but you took advantage of it.

"Actually, this wasn't the worst breakup I've ever experienced."

Ross felt an urge to confide in someone and said with a wry smile, "Since Carol, I've had another experience where I was dumped during something indescribable, and that was really bad."

"You can imagine."

Adam couldn't help but laugh and said, "You didn't propose to her, did you?"

"Of course not."

Ross asked in surprise, "Why would you think that?"

"Because I know someone who did that. He proposed under those circumstances, it didn't work out, and then they broke up."

Adam laughed and said, "Obviously you're all too impulsive, but he's acting on emotion."

Ross nodded, but then suddenly realized what he was doing and glared at Adam.

"Let me treat your injuries."

Adam laughed and said, "Go on."

"There's nothing to say."

Ross airway.

"OK".

Adam shrugged indifferently and focused on treating his wounds.

A while later.

Ross couldn't hold back any longer and said, "After we broke up, I missed her a little. After all, she was an outstanding girlfriend."

"But she's not Rachel."

Adam said casually.

"..."

Ross was startled, remained silent for a moment, and sighed, "Rachel isn't Rachel anymore."

Adam glanced at him sideways.

What's your meaning, you little brat?

They're upset that Rachel can't wear her pink cheerleader outfit anymore?

You're just a happy boy who got dumped while parking, what right do you have to look down on others!

"Oh."

Ross cried out in pain.

"Feel sorry."

Adam offered an apology with a half-smile.

Are you sure you can handle the injury?

Ross expressed his doubts.

"Why don't you go to another hospital?"

Adam laughed.

"Um?"

Ross asked in surprise, "Why go to another hospital?"

"Because here, no one will doubt my skills."

Adam smiled reservedly.

"I have no doubts about your skills."

Ross retorted, "I doubt your stance. Don't think I don't know you've always sided with Rachel."

"I hope Emma only inherited your intelligence and Rachel's beauty."

Adam laughed.

"..."

Ross's lips twitched slightly.

He always felt that Adam was mocking him.

"In short, I miss Mona a lot after the breakup."

Ross continued, "So I went to her favorite French restaurant to relive our sweet moments together. The restaurant was very popular, and I waited in line for a full hour before it was my turn."

But what angered me was that this French restaurant refused me entry, saying I didn't have a female companion!

"Puff!"

Adam burst out laughing again, "Really?"

Are single people really that discriminated against these days?

Adam thought that such a tragic event, which would move anyone to tears, would only happen in later generations.

"Real!"

Ross said angrily, "The waiter said this is a specialty of their restaurant, specially made for goddesses, and can only be entered with a lady's invitation."

I used to be with Mona, so I didn't notice.

But this time I queued alone for so long, and no one said a word to me.

They didn't let me leave until it was my turn.

Who could stand this?

"So you resorted to violence?"

Adam asked curiously.

"No."

Ross said aggrievedly, "How could I, a university professor, do such a thing? I reasoned with them and they eventually compromised, sending a waitress to temporarily act as my companion before letting me in."

"Then what?"

Adam laughed and said, "The waitress is so pretty, you couldn't resist touching her?"

"How could that be?"

Ross rolled his eyes. "If it weren't for the need to save face, I would have left already. It would be so awkward if we didn't even know each other."

"So who exactly beat you up like this?"

Adam chuckled.

"That pretty waitress's boyfriend is incredibly jealous."

Ross said aggrievedly, "I just happened to come over and saw this scene. Without asking any questions, he punched me right away, which stunned me. By the time I came to my senses, this was already happening."

If it weren't for his girlfriend's desperate apologies, I definitely wouldn't have let him off the hook!

"Yeah yeah."

Adam joked, "If his girlfriend weren't so pretty, even if she apologized profusely, you probably wouldn't have let him off the hook!"

Ross didn't want to talk anymore.

"Single people face severe discrimination."

Adam warned, "In the future, you should check the signs before entering any store. Not only this store, but also those stores that specialize in brunch, you'd better avoid them too, they're full of unfriendly attitudes towards single people."

I have a friend who really liked a certain restaurant's brunch. After breaking up with his girlfriend, when he went there again, the waiter discriminated against him with his eyes and words. The waiter's question, "Are you the only one here?" made my friend back down immediately.

Later, unable to find any female friends, I had to go with a close female friend, which almost caused a misunderstanding.

"That's too much."

Ross said bitterly, "I'm never going there again!"
