What You Call Liking?

Medical Center.

Late at night.

Once the effects of the drugs wore off, the three tall, strong cheerleaders soon no longer needed their restraints.

After the nurse untied them, they sat side by side, staring blankly at the TV without moving.

The tall boy was also an experienced man; he only put a simple drug in the chocolate to make them shake their heads, without mixing it with anything else, and he didn't dare let them eat too much.

Even so.

When the parents of the three girls arrived, they completely lost their temper when they saw their daughters looking dazed and unresponsive.

It's one thing to vaguely know something just by walking through it yourself, but it's quite another to see it with your own eyes.

The boy's parents were almost beaten up.

The police officers who arrived to take statements did a great deal of work and stopped the brawl.

Adam said everything he needed to say and did everything he needed to do.

What happens next is beyond his control.

This kind of thing happens a lot in United States high schools depicted in American TV Show World.

Adam left the ward and walked down the corridor, then suddenly stopped and turned to look at the nurse who was standing facing the wall, seemingly looking at something.

Something's not right!

Something's strange!

"Debbie, are you alright?"

Adam walked over and patted the nurse on the shoulder.

With his talent, he knew everyone in the hospital, remembered all kinds of information, and met everyone as if they were old acquaintances. This was one of the important reasons why Adam was so popular.

"What?"

Nurse Debbie, still staring at the empty corridor walls, smiled and asked without turning her head.

"Um?"

Adam frowned, tugged at Nurse Debbie, and turned her around so he could see her face.

This is a face full of joy.

It's just a bit dull.

"No way?"

Adam's lips twitched, and he waved towards the nurses' station. "Carol!"

"Dr. Duncan, what's wrong?"

Nurse Carol immediately ran over.

"Take Debbie to the ward; she seems to have taken drugs."

Adam gave the order, then realized something and asked, "Where is that box of chocolates laced with drugs?"

"Ah!"

Nurse Carol immediately understood Adam's meaning and exclaimed, "I just saw it in the nurses' break room!"

"Quickly put it away and destroy it!"

Adam examined Nurse Debbie, and seeing that it wasn't serious, he breathed a sigh of relief and said speechlessly.

"Yes, yes!"

Nurse Carol readily agreed and helped Nurse Debbie to the break room.

Adam shook his head repeatedly.

This is the danger of adding ingredients to your diet; you never know whether you might fall victim to it.

He could actually understand the nurses' actions.

Nurses are very busy, otherwise the last nurses' strike wouldn't have happened.

Sometimes I'm so busy I don't even have time to go to the buffet to eat.

When they get so hungry they can't stand it anymore, some nurses will grab some of the fruit and snacks that visitors bring to the ward to tide them over and keep working.

Nobody will say anything.

Patients in a good mood don't mind, while those in a bad mood either don't notice or are no longer able to notice.

Don't just talk about nurses, doctors sometimes do that too.

Dr. House next door liked to do this; his doctors especially enjoyed eating food from patients' homes when they went there to investigate the cause of their illnesses.

Emmm.

Sometimes he even likes to have sex in a patient's bed.

They're incredibly bold, aren't they afraid of getting sick from the food they eat?

Or the source of infection might be the patient's bed at home.

This time, the nurse, who was clearly unaware of the danger, couldn't resist the temptation of the heart-shaped chocolate and took it to the nurses' break room. After eating it, she fell for it.

To trick the three tall, handsome men, the rugby players went to great lengths; that huge box of heart-shaped chocolates wasn't cheap.

Two hours later.

After Adam and Alice Grey finished their private tutoring session, they were about to head home when they ran into Nurse Carol: "How's Debbie?"

"That's it."

Nurse Carol said with a wry smile, "This is really embarrassing. Debbie n't the only one who ate the spiked chocolate."

"More than one?"

Adam was startled. "Let's go, let's go take a look."

Led by Nurse Carol, Adam went to the nurses' break room and witnessed a scene that left him speechless.

Six nurses sat side by side, each holding a box of ice cream, their faces blank yet filled with happiness as they slowly ate their ice cream.

The key is that the speed is extremely slow. It's not the kind of eating and chewing slowly; it's just slowly licking it, occasionally pursing its lips and smacking its lips, as if it's eating some supreme delicacy.

The male nurses standing nearby kept glancing at the same ice cream in their hands, then at the ones in the nurses' hands. Some stared blankly, while others hunched over with strange expressions, seemingly lost in thought.

Adam glanced at it and, understanding what Carol meant by "this is a huge embarrassment," immediately left.

"Officer Beckett, yes, it's me, yes, I also want to file a report..."

Adam dialed Kate's number.

As an outstanding citizen, he has a responsibility to report and pressure law enforcement agencies about this egregious act of drugging, and to urge them to pay extra attention.

The impact is absolutely terrible!

Look at this chain reaction: six nurses were infected, and look what happened to them.

What if someone sees it and mistakenly thinks the Medical Center is some kind of shady hospital?

Or what if these infected nurses are still administering medication to patients without their knowledge, leading to serious medical accidents?

Or what if the nurses' abnormal behavior leaves other medical staff dumbfounded, leading to a serious medical accident?

Adam didn't know what others were like.

But Adam was furious when he saw what had just happened!

He has to do something!

If Kate, the law enforcement officer, cannot give him a satisfactory answer, he does not rule out leaking information to the media, the fourth public authority, and becoming an anonymous insider.

He believed that Robin, a very ambitious journalist, would be very interested.

"Kate, I hope you won't let me down."

Adam muttered to himself, left the hospital, and drove to his apartment.

The next day.

Adam went to work with a dark expression.

Because Kate is indeed unreliable.

Even Robin, upon hearing the news and knowing that she was facing the darkest shadow of society and was utterly afraid to confront such a behemoth, immediately backed down.

Changing room.

"He's not as awful as you all say."

Adam arrived, he overheard Meredith speaking about Mark, the guy who cheated on his ex-boyfriend. "His psychiatrist, who charges him four hundred dollars an hour, told him that behind his rugged and confident exterior lies a self-loathing, self-destructive, almost pathological person."

No one is perfect, and infidelity is wrong, but doesn't the husband bear any responsibility? Is he really a good husband?

"Hehe."

Adam smiled and pushed open the door, "This psychologist is something else. He always says what his clients want to hear. No wonder he can charge $400 an hour."

$400 per hour, 10 hours a day, that's $4,000.

Even with a two-day weekend, that's still $20,000 a week. Assuming 50 weeks a year, that's an annual salary of $1 million, a truly high income, making him a top-tier figure who significantly raises the average income of psychologists.

"You don't agree?"

Meredith looked at Adam.

"Of course I disagree."

Adam scoffed, "After all that talk, all those theories, and all those new terms, it all boils down to not being able to control your lower body!"

Is that self-loathing?

You're just lusting after her body!

You're despicable!
