Live for Today

Early the next morning.

Adam drove back to New York.

Medical Center.

How was last night?

Adam found Cristina and asked her.

"Don't you trust me to handle things?"

Cristina opened her mouth and reminded her, "I've already paid back the favor I owed you."

"Certainly."

Adam smiled and nodded, then exchanged a few more words with Cristina before entering Mr. Martin's VIP ward.

After the inspection.

As expected, everything was normal.

When dawn broke, Dr. Shepherd arrived and immediately began the surgery.

This is a minimally invasive surgery.

Using an endoscopic scalpel inserted through Mr. Martin's nose, the Rathke's Cleft Cyst in the pituitary gland was removed.

The surgery is not complicated; it's all about micro-management.

It ended quickly.

After leaving the Operating Room, I met a very excited George in the corridor.

"Adam, remember to enjoy life while you can!"

George pointed at Adam, took the medical record from the nurses' station, and with a twirl, cheerfully left.

"What's going on?"

Adam was both amused and exasperated.

"Dr. O'Malley is blessed by God today."

The Nurse Know-It-All, smiled.

"God's blessing?"

Adam got excited. "Did you get some kind of rare surgery?"

"No."

The Nurse Know-It-All, laughed and said, "He almost went to see God today, but God sent a holy dove and sent him back to Earth, so he can enjoy life and then go see God when he's old. That's why he's so excited right now..."

Adam asked a few more questions.

I finally understand the whole story.

It turns out that this morning George bought a donut for breakfast outside the hospital, and just as he was about to eat it, a bird dropping fell from the sky and hit the donut in George's hand.

Disgusted George immediately threw the tossed donut on the ground.

This attracted pigeons to eat the donuts.

He has a similar style to Old Xing from the My Own Swordsman" My Own Swordsman".

When Old Xing returned from begging in Capital, he saw Old Bai holding a chicken leg, spat on it, and asked, "Do you want some?"

You're not going to eat, huh?

He then took it and ate it.

Since it's his saliva anyway, he doesn't mind.

Adam seriously doubted that this pigeon was very intelligent; it was cunning and shrewd when it came to food.

If it wasn't the bird that left that pile of droppings, then whose was it?

George had never watched "My Own Swordsman" and was unaware of this trick, so he didn't suspect the pigeon's sinister intentions.

Seeing that the pigeons had started eating, he prepared to walk around them.

I just left that position.

A figure descended from the sky.

The pigeons and donuts were completely covered, including the spot where George had just been standing eating the donuts.

In other words...

If it weren't for the bird droppings falling from the sky, George would have been the one who got hit.

The other person was a window cleaner who fell from the fifth floor.

If George were hit, he would be crippled even if he didn't die.

What shocked him the most was that the glass washer who fell should have had his lungs collapsed, his back broken, and his major artery completely severed, but only his leg bones were broken.

This is simply a miracle.

No wonder George was so excited.

Noon.

Self-service restaurant.

"Have a look!"

As soon as Adam came over, George presented him with a bird's claw as a treasure.

"Is this the sacred dove that saved you?"

Adam looked him over.

"Right."

George fiddled with the bird's claws and said devoutly, "I took it from the patient's back. I'll have someone make it for me later. From now on, this will be my lucky charm. God is watching over me."

"Oh!"

Cristina scoffed, "That pigeon was slapped all over the patient's back. With so many pigeon feathers, why don't you collect them and make a hat or something? That would be a lucky bird crest bestowed upon you by God."

"You don't believe in God?"

George immediately glared at her.

"I believe in science."

Cristina said.

"Then how do you explain what happened to me today?"

George pressed on.

"Just pure luck."

Cristina laughed and said, "Oh no, it's just good luck!"

"Alright."

Seeing that the two were about to start a fight, Adam tried to smooth things over, saying, "George, didn't you just say to live for the moment? Arguing with Cristina doesn't count as living for the moment."

"She has no sense of reverence, just like a patient."

George said with dissatisfaction, "What a stunning miracle, yet they remain unmoved."

"Um?"

Adam's heart skipped a beat. "The patient is unhappy?"

"Um."

George complained, "Of the three witnesses to this miracle, the pigeon has gone to heaven, leaving only him and me on earth. We should have been discussing God's blessing of surviving this ordeal, thanking God for letting us understand the importance of seizing the day and enjoying life."

But he was sullen and wouldn't talk to me about anything, even complaining that I was too noisy..."

"Can't you see the problem?"

Adam reminded him.

"What's the problem?"

George was taken aback.

Cristina also looked over.

"Do you remember the time I saved a Cross-dressing Boss was about to jump off the hospital roof?"

Adam cautioned, "If I hadn't reached out and caught him in time, it wouldn't have been just a high heel hitting my friend Barney on the head. Do you think that's a miracle?"

"You mean the patient didn't fall accidentally, but jumped from the building?"

Cristina immediately realized what was happening.

"He wouldn't have reacted this way if he had fallen accidentally."

Adam shook his head and said, "George, you really should thank God, otherwise you would have died in vain."

"What?!"

George froze, then his face flushed red.

The patient, whom he had initially thought was also a gift from God, turned out to be the murderer who had almost killed him.

This reversal was unacceptable to George.

"I'll go ask him!"

George got up, grabbed the bird's claws, and ran towards the ward.

"Don't these people who commit suicide have any sense of public morality?"

Cristina complained, "Even if you're feeling suicidal, can't you at least look down before jumping? What kind of nonsense is this, risking the deaths of innocent bystanders?"

Given the speed of freefall, if a person contemplating suicide looks down before jumping, it can generally be guaranteed that they will not accidentally injure innocent bystanders.

"Well."

Adam sighed.

Such incidents are not uncommon, and sometimes they even involve two people jumping off buildings, killing two innocent passersby.

Even more tragically...

Sometimes, because of being a "human cushion," innocent passersby who were living happily die, while those who wanted to commit suicide but didn't want to live survive.

He was taken to the hospital by ambulance and saved by the doctors.

According to George...

Is this God's punishment?

After Adam and his friends finished eating and walked out of the cafeteria, they ran into George, who had an angry look on his face.

"Asshole!"

The usually good-tempered chubby boy suddenly started swearing.

"Did you jump by yourself?"

Adam understood.

"Yes."

George angrily said, "Although he was unwilling to admit it, he didn't deny it either, he just admitted it directly. No wonder he didn't resonate with my excitement and happiness at all. He's a bastard. He almost killed me and didn't even apologize to me."

"Let's find him a psychologist."

Adam reminded him.

According to standard procedures, this indicates a psychological problem and requires psychological counseling.
