Keep Ghosts and Gods at a Distance
Medical Center.
"Bitch!"
Amy's sweet talk didn't last long before she started arguing with Rachel on the other end of the phone.
Adam originally intended to leave.
But Amy gestured to Adam not to leave yet.
Adam could only wait there politely and listen to the daily life of the three Green sisters.
Amy accuses Rachel of being too selfish, typical of Rachel, and says that Rachel broke her up with a handsome guy named Dimi in middle school.
Then Rachel roared from the other end of the phone, "Dimi is my boyfriend!"
It doesn't require any special hearing skills; it's like having your phone on speakerphone and then having a separate speaker.
Amy then remembered this.
However, she was also experienced and retorted confidently, "These are all old stories, why do you keep bringing them up?"
Emmm.
Adam, watching from the sidelines, had to admire Amy's composure.
Rachel couldn't take it anymore and hung up the phone.
Amy continued to grumble and curse.
"What's Dimi? Barry..."
Amy put away her phone, muttered a few words, and when she saw Adam looking at her strangely, she immediately put on a socialite face, tossed her long hair, and showed her most radiant smile.
"Adam, wanna go out for a drink?"
"Sorry, I'm still at work."
Adam declined her invitation as always, smiled apologetically, and walked towards the nurses' station.
"Boring."
Amy called out from behind Adam, "You're even less interesting than the old man! You're wasting all your potential!"
Adam didn't turn his head, he just waved his hand.
He knew that Amy's words were not without basis.
Recent.
Amy has been 'busy' redecorating Leonard's office.
Adam also frequently met with her.
Several times.
Adam overheard her talking on the phone, and from her words, he could tell that the other person was an elderly married man.
Emmm.
But he must be very rich.
There's a luxury apartment building on Fifth Avenue, the kind where the elevator doors open right into the living room.
Obviously.
Amy also had her own plans.
Leonard, the father, always praised his eldest daughter Rachel for being self-reliant, which pleased him greatly. He also encouraged her and their youngest daughter Jill, to learn from their older sister.
The third son, Jill, is a good-for-nothing who only cares about his father's meager fortune. He's been clamoring to hire a lawyer and sue his father, hoping to steal all his money.
From now on, I'll only give my dad a little pocket money. If I'm unhappy, I'll cut off his pocket money and let him experience the pain.
She's much smarter.
How much money does Dad have?
I got divorced first, and my mother took half of it.
Then she and the third brother kept causing him trouble.
If Dad suddenly passes away one day, the family fortune will have to be divided among the three of us.
With such high standards, she was naturally not satisfied.
Then.
She is also looking for her own career.
Make big money easily!
Do you have one?
Of course!
Her mother is a perfect example.
If you marry a rich man, even if you can't inherit all the assets, you can still get half.
The proportion and the upper limit are much better than waiting to inherit my father's fortune.
Initially, she set her sights on Adam.
He's super rich and super handsome.
Unfortunately, Adam didn't give her a chance at all.
She was very indignant, but one day she suddenly realized something.
Being young and handsome has its advantages.
Old men have their own unique charm.
She married the old man, worked hard for a few years, and after he died, she inherited all his assets, instantly becoming a super-rich woman.
When she's in charge, what can't she do when she's in charge?
How young and handsome do you think you are?
Adam might even have to come and fawn over her then.
Um.
This is somewhat difficult, but not impossible; what if Adam goes bankrupt someday?
Amy laughs out loud every time she thinks about this.
This is the most cost-effective path to success.
Emmm.
Although this old man is her ex-boyfriend's father.
Although her ex-boyfriend and his mother hated her to the core.
But who cares?
The old man has had more than one girlfriend.
This wasn't the first time her ex-boyfriend had experienced something like this.
It's just a matter of being proactive or reactive.
Although Amy doesn't like reading.
But she knew that this kind of thing was nothing new throughout history.
She's not the only one among her close female friends.
Why can't she do what they did?
Adam was fully aware of Amy's thoughts.
But he couldn't tell Leonard.
They were afraid of upsetting Leonard and causing him serious harm.
We'll see.
Amy is so old now, and her values are completely shattered.
Leonard couldn't control it even if he wanted to.
The changing room and rest room in the emergency room are combined.
Inside, besides several rows of storage cabinets, there are sofas, coffee tables, water dispensers, refrigerators, microwave ovens, and other living room furnishings.
The doctors and nurses in the emergency room take turns bringing food and leaving it there so that anyone who gets hungry can grab a bite.
Adam wanted to talk to Dr. Lewis about something.
I came over because the Nurse Know-It-All told me she should be here.
"Hey, handsome doctor."
He pushed open the door and saw a woman in her thirties with a broad frame, eating a donut given to him by a doctor and nurse. When she saw him come in, she started to flirt with him in an extremely frivolous manner.
"Chloe!"
At that moment, ER resident Susan Lewis pushed open the door and saw Adam. She quickly stopped him and gave Adam an apologetic yet helpless smile, "Adam, I'm sorry, this is my sister."
"What's wrong?"
The woman named Chloe said nonchalantly, "When I said he's handsome, I meant it as a compliment!"
Then, without giving Susan a chance to speak, she pounced on her and gave her a bear hug. "Susan, my little sister."
After letting go, Chloe started touching her again. "Look at you, stethoscope, white coat, you look like a doctor, and you even have a little badge. Ugh, you're even uglier than the picture on your driver's license. Oh, is that a push-up bra?"
As he spoke, he reached out and pulled, peering inside.
"Don't do this!"
Susan blushed deeply, quickly swatted away her sister's dirty hand, covered her chest, and glanced at Adam sheepishly.
"I have other things to do."
Seeing this, Adam didn't bother talking to Susan anymore and just left.
"Dr. Lewis's sister is here again."
"She's really not polite; the donuts in the lounge are going to suffer again."
"It's alright, Dr. Lewis will make it up to you later."
"Dr. Lewis such a good person, how could her sister be like this? I once heard her sister scolding her, saying that she is now successful in her career, what's wrong with taking care of her sister who has nothing?"
"Aren't there many people like this? Just look at her, you can tell. She's probably someone who spends all her time hanging around outside, doesn't want to work, and only knows how to be a parasite."
"Dr. Lewis should refuse her, otherwise it will never end."
"No chance. Look at how Dr. Lewis treats his patients, let alone his own sister. She's completely under her sister's thumb."
"Sigh, Dr. Lewis is really pitiful to have such a sister."
"I heard that Dr. Lewis and her ex-boyfriend were about to get married, but they broke up because he couldn't stand his girlfriend's older sister."
"Dr. Lewis sends her sister $500 every month."
"I doubt it's enough. Judging from her sister's appearance, she's definitely a member of the Western Poison Sect. She's probably here to ask for money again."
"..."
Adam overheard the nurses' hushed gossip.
Adam shook his head.
Another pitiful person.
Dr. Lewis is indeed a very good person.
However, Adam secretly decided to keep his distance from Dr. Lewis from now on.
He could understand what Dr. Lewis's ex-boyfriend, with whom she was already discussing marriage, was doing.
This is not directed at any individual.
Instead, they respect ghosts and spirits but keep their distance.
