A Little Understanding, A Little Understanding

Medical Center.

"I!"

"I!"

Adam and Liz raised their hands at the same time.

George hung his head, clearly still bothered that his goddess Meredith had become entangled with this scoundrel so quickly, and stubbornly expressed his dissatisfaction in this way.

Cristina, huh.

She is now a favorite of Dr. Shepherd, and often accompanies Dr. Shepherd during surgeries.

Meredith, her best friend, naturally accompanied her boyfriend Dr. Burke, to the surgery.

Perfect interchange!

Clearly, Dr. Shepherd has not given up on Meredith and is silently caring for Meredith in this way.

Dr. Burke was aware of this without saying a word.

The boy with Lion Syndrome was assigned Cristina as his attending physician by Dr. Shepherd. Shept.

"Very good."

Mark Sloan glanced at the two of them, his gaze bypassing Adam and landing on Liz, a bright smile spreading across his face.

Emmm.

Adam was certain that it was a lsp's smile.

Don't ask him how he knows!

Liz, feeling slightly shy under such gazes, couldn't help but smile, her lips curving into a wry smile.

Clearly, what she said earlier about being able to have such a handsome and strong lover was not a lie.

"Come with me."

Mark Sloan greeted the two, mainly Liz, and walked alongside her, smiling brightly, "Dr. Stevenson. Liz Stevenson?"

"Just call me Liz."

Liz smiled a little shyly.

"Looks like you're out of luck."

Cristina and Adam walked side by side behind her, speaking in a low voice.

"That's not necessarily true."

Adam smiled slightly.

"It mainly depends on the Attending Physician in this situation."

Cristina shook her head and said, "He can bring whoever he wants. He's obviously a proper playboy who only likes to bring beauties like Liz."

"You're looking at the problem too superficially."

Adam laughed.

"What's the meaning?"

Cristina looked at Adam in surprise.

"Did you see how they argued before?"

Adam laughed and said, "Dr. Sloan is clearly asking Dr. Shepherd for forgiveness."

"So?"

Cristina was bewildered. "Isn't this normal? It can't be that Dr. Shepherd asked Dr. Sloan for forgiveness, can it?"

"You missed the key issue."

Adam cautioned, "When Dr. Sloan said that, he sounded quite self-righteous, as if it were the natural thing to do, like, 'Okay, stop making a scene, you've had enough of being angry, haven't you? I didn't mean to break you up, I just wanted to join you.'"

"..."

Cristina was completely stunned, her face filled with utter confusion. She frantically tried to recall the scene from before, asking incredulously, "Really? Is that so?"

"Think about it carefully!"

Adam played with flavor.

"Hiss."

Cristina thought for a while, then gasped, "It seems that's really the case."

"Not only that."

Adam chuckled softly, "Does this surgery really have to be done together? Dr. Sloan could have waited for Dr. Shepherd to finish his surgery before taking over."

With his reputation and the trust he inspires in patients by offering them new insights, no one can stand in his way.

But he just wouldn't!

He insisted on clashing with Dr. Shepherd, insisting on having the surgery together now.

Even if the case goes all the way to the Chief of Surgery, even if the patient's parents are a little resistant, we will still do it together.

After succeeding, he even said to Dr. Shepherd, "The bastard won the second round."

Who is this bastard?

It is himself, of course.

He clearly knew he had wronged Dr. Shepherd, yet he acted with such self-righteousness and deliberately provoked Dr. Shepherd.

What kind of behavior is this?

"I'd rather you hate me than have me invisible to you..."

Cristina murmured.

"Now you understand, right?"

Adam smiled knowingly.

"Uh-huh?"

Christian nodded at first, then realized what he meant and said speechlessly, "What do I understand? Even if Dr. Sloan is truly benevolent, what does that have to do with choosing Liz or you... Do you mean... Ugh~"

"Don't overthink it."

Adam patted Cristina: "I didn't say it had anything to do with whether he chose Liz or me. I was just refuting your point that 'Dr. Sloan only likes beauties like Liz'."

If no miracle occurs this time, he will indeed choose Liz.

"..."

Cristina rolled her eyes, speechless. "So you consider yourself a miracle?"

"It's because he had to consider the impact from the beginning and didn't make any definitive statements."

Adam smiled and said, "But it's understandable. What if he had chosen Liz initially, and Liz hadn't responded enthusiastically? Wouldn't that be embarrassing? He's the best plastic surgeon on the East Coast, doesn't he have any pride?"

"Do you still have a way to turn things around and make him abandon Liz and choose you?"

Cristina asked curiously.

"I can't say for sure that there's a way."

Adam said reservedly, "I can only say that we can give it a try."

In the ward.

"I disagree!"

The patient's parents, reminded by Dr. Shepherd, strongly resisted the idea of performing two delicate surgeries together.

"Dad!"

The Lion Syndrome Boy shouted.

"Jack, we're not in a rush. Let's have the tumor surgery first, and then we can talk about Plastic Surgery later."

The patient's father comforted him.

"Yes."

The patient's mother chimed in, "You're handsome enough in my eyes. We just want you to live."

"Combining the two surgeries is actually safer."

Mark Sloan began to persuade him.

However, the patient's parents, seeing the bruises on Mark's face, didn't trust him as much as the gentle and Dr. Shepherd. Shept, and refused to sign the consent form.

Mark could only glance at Liz helplessly.

"Mr. Bouldon. and Mrs. Bouldon. Bolton, Dr. Sloan is the best plastic surgeon on the East Coast."

Liz spoke up, "Only he is confident that he can successfully perform plastic surgery on your son. This opportunity is very rare because Dr. Sloan is not a doctor at our hospital. He may leave at any time. It would be a great pity to miss this opportunity."

"Dr. Sloan, could you please give us your business card?"

The patient's father looked at Mark: "If this surgery is successful, we will make a special trip to visit you and ask you to operate on Jack if we need it. I believe Dr. Sloan will not refuse, right?"

"Certainly."

Mark Sloan met the patient's father's gaze and could only smile.

"Dad, Mom, I want to do it now."

The boy finally couldn't hold back any longer. "I trust Dr. Sloan. I'm not afraid to take risks. I know you think I'm handsome enough, but that's your job. Others don't see it that way, and neither do I. I need this surgery."

"Jack, you have no idea what the outcome of the surgery will be."

The patient's father advised, "The outcome is most likely not as wonderful as you imagine..."

"I don't need to know."

Young Jack said firmly, "Whatever the outcome, I'll accept it. Look at me, what could be worse than this?"

As he spoke, his hand, pointing to his face, trembled.

"Waaaaah."

When the patient's mother heard her son say this, she immediately covered her mouth and burst into tears.

She knew that this was her son's deepest pain.

The more humorous and open my son is usually, the more heartbreaking it is to say it now.

"Mr. Bouldon. and Mrs. Bouldon."

Adam, who had been standing to the side writing something on the medical record, spoke up, "The results of plastic surgery can actually be known in advance, as you can see."

As he spoke, he placed a piece of paper in front of them.

On the paper, an ordinary-looking boy smiles as he looks at them.

The Boltons recognized him immediately as their son, Jack.

They look so alike!

"Is this me?"

"It's possible to make it look like this?"

Young Jack and the Boltons cried out in disbelief.

"Dr. Sloan?"

Adam did not answer, but looked at the dazed Mark Sloan.

"Able..."

Mark looked at Adam in shock. "This is the plastic surgery effect I envisioned? How did you manage to do it?"

"I have some knowledge of human anatomy and plastic surgery."

Adam smiled modestly, "My memory and imagination are alright, my math is okay, and I also know a bit about sketching."

Everyone: "..."
