Who Wants to Join?

Medical Center.

Changing room.

"So, you're not planning to participate in his surgery?"

Meredith was speechless after being choked by Adam's words, and looked at Adam with a mocking expression.

What kind of surgery?

Adam got excited.

"A patient with a severe skull structural development disorder has just arrived at the hospital."

Cristina interjected.

"Lion Syndrome?"

Adam exclaimed in surprise.

Lion Syndrome, as the name suggests, is characterized by a face resembling that of a lion.

"Right."

Cristina nodded. "This rare disease is a favorite of plastic surgeons. Once successful, the plastic surgeon will be incredibly famous if the before-and-after photos are released to the media."

"It's not only a favorite of plastic surgeons, but also a favorite of hospitals."

Meredith reminded her, "Mark is the best plastic surgeon on the East Coast. Wouldn't you like to participate in this kind of surgery if he does it?"

"Think."

Adam was honest.

Although he doesn't plan to become a plastic surgeon, it's never a bad thing to learn a few more techniques.

Not to mention that the other party is one of the most skilled plastic surgeons.

Speaking of which, he is now working under top Cardiothoracic Surgery Dr. Burke, top Neurosurgery Dr. Dr. Shepherd, top pediatrician Dr. Montgomery, and a legendary doctor with super-powerful advantages, Alice Grey.

If you add one of the best plastic surgeons on the East Coast, Adam's mentor team will become even more impressive.

"It seems he does have some redeeming qualities."

Meredith laughed.

"I never said he had no merits."

Adam said in surprise, "Professional skill level and personal character are two completely different things. I acknowledge his superb professional skills and want to learn a few tricks from him, but that doesn't mean I approve of him as a person."

"That is!"

George agreed.

Cristina and Liz both looked at George with mocking eyes.

"What's wrong?"

George complained.

"It's normal for Adam to look down on you, but you're probably just envious and jealous."

Cristina succinctly pinpointed the key point.

"Yes."

Liz dreamed, "Looking like him, handsome and with a great physique, I think I could be like him too. No wonder Dr. Montgomery couldn't control himself. Speaking of which, Dr. Montgomery is really lucky. Her husband is Mr. Dreamy and her lover is Mr. Dreamy Beast. Tsk tsk!"

"Meredith, you wouldn't happen to have your eye on Mark, would you?"

Cristina looked at Meredith and asked the crucial question.

"No!"

Meredith immediately retorted.

The reason she was so supportive of Mark was because Mark told her, "I heard about you in Boston, a lustful intern who slept with the Attending Physician. We're both despicable mistresses."

These words resonated deeply with her.

Of course, it's also possible that Mark handsome, stylish, and very charming.

"So what if there is a little?"

Seeing that Adam and the others were looking at her with disbelief, Meredith said angrily, "They've returned to their families and are living happily ever after. What's so strange about us two mistresses getting closer?"

"Yes, that's not surprising at all."

Adam nodded. "But are you sure you've let go of Dr. Shepherd?"

The last time Mark and Dr. Montgomery talked about life and ideals in bed, Dr. Shepherd simply closed the door and left.

This time, you and Mark only exchanged a few flirtatious words in public before Dr. Shepherd rushed over and punched you.

In the same scenario, don't you think the difference is too great?

But he didn't choose me!

Meredith suddenly shouted.

"Maybe he wants it all?"

Adam shrugged and ended the conversation when he heard someone approaching.

Everyone: "..."

Adam changed his clothes and went outside.

Cristina followed closely behind.

"You're joking, right?"

Cristina walked beside Adam and said in a low voice.

"Who knows?"

Adam smiled but didn't say anything more.

The two completely different actions of punching and closing the door clearly exposed Dr. Shepherd's true emotional inclinations.

In this situation, a normal person would choose a lover with whom they are in a passionate new relationship, rather than a wife who has already lost much of her affection for them and has cheated.

But Dr. Shepherd's procedures have always been puzzling; who knows what he was thinking?

Perhaps he doesn't want to lose either of them, maintaining his friendship and family ties with his wife while keeping a subtle, ambiguous relationship with Meredith as a confidante.

Men, you know.

They are both very compassionate, which is understandable.

Morning.

After the ward rounds.

Two former best friends, who later became rivals in love, have started another war.

This patient with Lion Syndrome had a malignant brain tumor.

Dr. Shepherd was going to perform tumor removal surgery on him, but Mark Sloan, having heard the news, went directly to the patient and said he could give him a more normal face.

Unsurprisingly, the teenager, who suffered discrimination and humiliation because of his Lion Syndrome, insisted on having Plastic Surgery.

Outside the Chief of Surgery's Office.

Adam and the others gathered there, looking inside through the glass window from a distance.

"Can you read what he's saying?"

Cristina tilted her head, constantly chasing after Dr. Shepherd was walking back and forth.

"Quack doctor, you bitch!"

Adam translated with a smile.

Wow.

Liz clicked her tongue in amazement. "That's really hot!"

"He made a gesture. Does he want to hit Dr. Sloan again?"

Cristina, always eager for drama, enjoyed watching the spectacle unfold.

You're overthinking it.

Adam laughed and said, "For someone like Dr. Shepherd, throwing one punch is already his limit. Don't even think about getting him to fight again."

Emmm.

Of course, it's not entirely impossible.

If Dr. Shepherd were to return home and suddenly see Mark Sloan with Meredith on his left and Dr. Montgomery on his right, giving him a wicked, Dragon King grin...

Even if Dr. Shepherd had the best temper, he probably would have rushed over and fought him to the death.

Adam thought about this, many classic scenes flashed through his mind.

It must be said that Island Nation cultures have done a great deal of research on this kind of human conflict.

"Adam, what do you think this time?"

Cristina gave up lip reading and looked at Adam: "Should we do just the tumor removal, or both?"

"In theory, I support Dr. Shepherd."

Adam pondered for a moment and said, "You've all seen the MRI scan of this malignant tumor. It's very dangerous. Even if Dr. Shepherd performs the surgery, the chances of success are slim. It's best to focus all your efforts on tumor removal surgery to save his life."

Although subsequent Plastic Surgery won't affect anything, this Plastic Surgery is a very delicate procedure that requires a lot of time.

"Surrounding two delicate surgeries together would require anesthesia for an extended period, which would inevitably increase the risks to some extent."

"But what actually happens?"

Liz pressed on.

"Actual?"

Adam laughed and said, "Didn't you see the patient's expression?"

He was completely unmoved by malignant tumors and other such things, chatting and laughing as if nothing was wrong. He didn't seem like a 15-year-old boy at all, but more like a wise man who had seen through life and death.

But when it came to the idea of having a normal face, he couldn't hold back any longer. When his parents advised him not to have Plastic Surgery yet, he pleaded with them, begging them to agree.

He knows very well what he needs.

As doctors, we naturally want to meet our patients' needs as much as possible.

"That's right."

Liz chimed in, "If it were me, I would make the same choice. This world that judges people by their appearance is cruel enough for most people, let alone those with physical disabilities. I can only imagine the discrimination they suffer."

"..."

Adam and the others glanced at her sideways.

Can you imagine the long legs of a standard blonde Big Bear doll face?

Who are you trying to fool!

"The director has spoken."

Adam gave a reminder and began lip-reading. "The director said, Dr. Sloan, if the child's parents are willing to sign a consent form, you can perform the Plastic Surgery."

Dr. Sloan told Dr. Shepherd, "The bastard won the second round."

At this moment, Mark Sloan came out, walked up to the group, and glanced at them. "Who among you is interested in joining this surgery? You can join if you can help persuade the patient's parents."

P. S.: Thanks to Defective Phone, Cangye Feilong, and Bai Lan s for the donations! I kicked off the blankets the night before last and caught a cold. I'm not feeling well, so I can't tough it out and need to buy some medicine. Since I got COVID-19, I don't dare to cough loudly when I have phlegm in my throat, for fear of attracting strange looks from others... I haven't been feeling well these past two days and haven't updated much. I hope to recover soon. Please forgive me!
