Juno Buno

Medical Center.

Changing room.

"What did you do last night that made you so happy?"

Cristina squinted at Adam with her small eyes.

"I've always been a cheerful person."

Adam laughed and said, "Besides, holidays are naturally more fun than ordinary days, well, double the happiness."

There's a problem.

Cristina didn't believe Adam's nonsense at all.

However, she didn't care and quickly changed the subject, saying mysteriously, "Hey! Have you heard? Dr. Montgomery has officially joined the company, Chief of Surgery has given her a large portion of the budget."

The best private services, the most advanced neonatal intensive care unit, and the highest salary of any surgeon in New York. That's quite a sum.

"She's worth the price."

Liz chimed in, "She is indeed one of the best in this field. With her joining the Medical Center has a chance to become number one in the future."

"You're lucky to have caught her eye."

Cristina joked, "He'll definitely have a brighter future than us."

"Oh!"

Liz sneered, "How about we switch? I'm sure Dr. Montgomery would be more willing to take you if you're willing."

"That's not necessarily true."

Adam laughed and said, "Not just anyone can be a pediatrician, at least Cristina certainly can't."

"I absolutely cannot."

Cristina waved her hands repeatedly. "I get annoyed even by adults, let alone by children who cry and fight all day long. I can't even stand the thought of being able to handle it."

"Just this reason?"

Liz scoffed, "The most important thing is that you look down on pediatricians."

Cristina smiled without saying a word.

Adam smiled knowingly.

Pediatricians have always been at the bottom of the medical hierarchy.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Dr. Montgomery received top-notch treatment and the highest salary among surgeons as soon as he arrived.

But this is already the pinnacle for pediatricians.

Emmm.

They are the kind of people who can raise the average, ensuring that pediatricians don't always rank last, and occasionally even second to last.

Cristina really looks down on this profession.

"I don't know what will happen in the future, but I know you will definitely regret it today."

Liz suddenly laughed.

"Why?"

Cristina immediately looked over. "Does Dr. Montgomery have any good cases?"

Adam's eyes lit up at the mention of this.

I've been interning at the Medical Center for several months now, and I've seen all kinds of surgeries and performed quite a few myself, but I've had very few patients who are children.

Adam felt it was necessary to put those tiny hands, feet, and hearts into more practice.

Liz proudly held out her palm and gestured. "Have you ever seen quintuplets?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Cristina was completely shocked.

"Five babies?"

Adam was taken aback.

But then she remembered Phoebe's plan to be a surrogate for her brother and sister-in-law.

If Adam hadn't stopped it.

To ensure a high success rate, surrogacy involves implanting five embryos at a time.

If they all successfully implant, wouldn't that be an exaggerated quintuplets?

"This risk is too great."

Adam couldn't help but say.

"Who can argue with that?"

Liz shook her head. "But I heard that she had already given birth to triplets, all boys, and really wanted a daughter, so she tried to get pregnant again. This time she did get pregnant with a daughter, but who knew that she would end up with five."

"I imagine her husband turned pale when he heard the news."

Adam exclaimed.

"How can it not be white?"

Cristina complained, "Unless you're a millionaire, you can't afford enough nannies. Who can properly raise eight children?"

"Perhaps this mother can write a novel someday."

Adam, recalling a joke from his past life, laughed and said, "Starting with three babies in one pregnancy, then five in the second, the strongest mom ever!"

"What are you talking about?"

Liz said speechlessly, "Would anyone even read something like this?"

"Who knows?"

Adam shrugged.

"I'm going to do my rounds."

Liz closed the locker and walked out. "Dr. Montgomery will also be here very early. The first shot of the Medical Center's pediatrics director is officially fired today."

"I absolutely love these high-profile cases."

Cristina wailed, "The director has probably already contacted reporters, preparing to report on this sensational quintuplets."

"It shouldn't be that urgent."

Adam cautioned, "Don't forget these are quintuplets. The pregnancy risks are extremely high. If we call reporters now, we might end up showing our backsides before we even get a chance to show our faces."

As expected.

This case was indeed sensational.

As soon as the ward rounds ended, gossip was everywhere in the hospital.

"Liz, what's wrong?"

In the hallway, Adam bumped into Liz and, noticing her strange expression, asked her curiously.

"The pregnant woman with quintuplets, Mrs. Rusebin."

Liz frowned and said, "I just did Ultrasound on her, and the data is barely acceptable. What she should do now is not to name them all, but to consider giving up two of them. That way, the remaining three will stay in her belly longer, develop better, and be healthier."

How far along is she in her pregnancy?

Adam asked.

"Only 32 weeks."

Liz shook her head and said, "I had no choice but to come to the hospital."

A normal pregnancy typically lasts forty weeks.

Twins, 36 weeks.

For quintuplets, 34 weeks is already a very ideal cycle.

The shorter the pregnancy, the shorter the time the fetus spends growing and developing in the Matrix, and the less ideal the fetus's health will be.

The various harms of premature infants are obvious.

Mothers naturally want their children to grow and develop as much as possible.

However, having multiples isn't something you can simply do by wanting them to stay in the mother's womb longer.

The pressure on a mother growing up with five fetuses is unimaginable.

Humans have physiological limits.

"Your attitude is not acceptable."

Adam cautioned, "No matter what, it's the patient's own choice. As a doctor, you can't let your emotions get in the way. Besides, she's already 32 weeks along, and the baby will be born in two weeks. Do you expect the mother to give up her two children now? That's not like you."

"..."

Liz opened her mouth, her face darkened, and she turned and left.

"What a tragedy."

Adam watched Liz's retreating figure, lost in thought.

Judging from this, young Liz has a past, mostly related to children.

"Could this be Juno Benno?"

Thinking of this, Adam couldn't help but smile.

In the original storyline, Juno got pregnant and gave birth in high school, which caused a sensation.

Adam, like a giant butterfly, was flapping his wings wildly.

The timeline has been completely altered.

Instead of trying to woo the shy athletic guy, Juno grabbed Karen's hand and strode forward.

Liz's current situation is quite reminiscent of Juno giving birth in high school in the original timeline.

Otherwise, a hypocritical Saintly Mother like her wouldn't have said that giving up the two children was the right choice under these circumstances.

Only when she was pregnant and then gave up because she was too young would she subconsciously insist that giving up the child was the right choice.

Otherwise, wouldn't she have made a mistake?

She'd go crazy if she did that.
