Robin, Goodbye!
Medical Center.
Lily and Robin were chatting enthusiastically.
Ring ring.
Soon after, Robin's phone rang.
"I'll be right there."
Robin answered the call immediately.
Then she said goodbye to Lily Marshall.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and follow them!"
Lily nudged Adam.
Adam smiled and followed after him.
"Robin."
Adam called out to her.
What are you doing?
Robin stopped and stared at him coldly.
"It's nothing, I just heard from Lily that you got promoted, but I haven't congratulated you yet."
Adam laughed.
That's it?
Robin sneered.
"And about what happened last time, I apologize again."
Adam said apologetically, "I really didn't mean it. You have every reason to be angry with me."
"I don't have time to be angry with you. I'm so busy. I'll be sent abroad soon, and I might never see you again, you bastard."
Robin said coldly.
"Congratulations, this is what you wanted, isn't it?"
Adam smiled.
"Certainly."
Robin said proudly, "As a journalist, I can go anywhere in the world. The freedom and joy I experience are beyond your imagination."
"Be careful when you travel abroad."
Adam cautioned, "Don't go to those remote, deserted places, because there are many perverts there. Be careful in big cities too; don't let your guard down just because they're famous, because there are many evil forces there, like in Paris..."
Robin watched Adam rattle off a list of precautions, her eyes reddening. Suddenly, she lunged forward, grabbed Adam 'Adam neck, and bit him hard on the neck.
"Hiss."
Adam gasped, but did not push Robin away.
Although he didn't mean anything by what happened last time, he did go too far.
He could fully imagine how much Robin had been living in fear these days.
He deserved to be bitten by her to vent his anger.
"You sabotaged my sudden promotion, didn't you?"
After biting Adam hard, Robin let go, unlike a vampire who would hold on. Instead, she continued to hug Adam and whispered hatefully in his ear, "You're such a bastard! A bastard that I both love and hate!"
"Feel sorry."
Adam sensed Robin's change in mood and felt relieved, laughing, "I really am a bastard."
Robin hugged Adam for a while, then pushed Adam away and strode forward. When she reached the roadside, she hailed a taxi. Before getting in, she looked at Adam, who was standing there watching her, and shouted loudly.
"Adam, you bastard, all I want now is for the person who got you into this habit to get pregnant with your child right away, preferably a daughter, so you'll become a Doting Father and live in constant fear that your daughter will end up with a bastard like you!"
After saying that, she held onto the taxi door with her left hand, and with her right hand, she gave Adam the middle finger.
Adam smiled, extended his right hand, and made an OK sign.
Then Robin smiled, leaned into the taxi, and stared at Adam through the window until they disappeared into the distant traffic.
"Well."
Adam sighed softly, touched the bite mark on his neck, and walked into the hospital building.
"How is it? How is it?"
As soon as Lily saw Adam come in, she immediately looked over with a gossipy expression.
"What do you mean, how about it?"
Adam laughed.
"Wow! She bit you!"
Lily, with her sharp eyes, immediately spotted the bite mark on Adam's neck and excitedly shouted, "You two made up?"
I guess so.
Adam pulled at his collar, trying his best to cover the bite marks.
Fortunately, Robin's bite wasn't deep, and Adam's incredible stamina comes with amazing regenerative abilities, so the bite mark will disappear in no time.
Otherwise, Adam would really have a hard time explaining it to Paige and the others.
What do you mean by "consider it?"
Lily said with dissatisfaction.
"Didn't you know she was leaving New York?"
Adam asked.
"Of course I know."
Lily said dismissively, "You forgot? I was the one who told you this news, which is why I told you to apologize to her quickly, otherwise you don't know what might happen when you meet again next time."
"It's probably going to be very difficult."
Adam nodded.
"You mean Robin won't be coming back?"
Marshall, with his clear-sighted perspective as an outsider, understood.
"What?"
Lily was taken aback. "What do you mean Robin isn't going back to New York? Wasn't she just going abroad for a short reporting assignment?"
"That's right."
Adam sighed, "But with her talent and hard work, if you give her a chance, she will soar to great heights, and from then on, she will be seen in most parts of the world. Isn't that her dream?"
"Her dream..."
Lily muttered something to herself, then a thought struck her, and she slapped Adam: "You're such a jerk! You gave her this opportunity, didn't you? You let Robin go! Is this your way of apologizing?!"
"Then what else can I do?"
Adam shrugged. "Is there a better way to apologize?"
"You're so heartless!"
Lily said bitterly, "If I were you, I would never choose this way of apologizing. I would keep her. No matter how good a dream is, it's not as important as love. That's the lesson you taught me!"
That's you!
Adam joked, "That's you for Robin! I'm no match for you..."
Seeing Lily and Marshall both glaring at him, Adam stopped himself and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, sorry, what I was talking about was a dream that wasn't firm enough, not as strong as love."
Can Robin's pursuit of his career be the same as your pursuit of your dreams?
Don't glare at me this time!
Think about it yourself. She gave up her status as a singer, left her homeland, and has been working hard in a foreign country alone for several years in pursuit of her dream.
Throughout this process, she never cared about love or romance; all she thought about was her career and her pursuits.
For this reason, she even gave up on Ted, the 'good man she wanted to marry,' and preferred to stay with a playboy like me.
In her eyes, how could she have a family if her career was not yet established?
She is a true dream chaser!
And what about you?
Once you get to college and start dating Marshall, you immediately forget about your 'dream', even though you just used that dream as an excuse to break up with your high school boyfriend.
Eight years later, you and Marshall are getting married. You remember your dream again, only to find that you have no talent for it. After giving up, you have many secondary dreams to accompany it.
However, none of them can last even a few days. Is this really a dream?
Perhaps it really is just a dream on paper.
But this is completely different from the dream that Robin has worked so hard to pursue.
For you, true love is definitely more important than vague, fleeting dreams.
But for Robin, when it comes to love and career, she will always choose career!
Not to mention that we're not even in love yet.
Believe me, she knows all of this.
But she accepted without hesitation, smiling.
"But she just left like that?"
Lily said sadly.
Yes, she left.
Adam nodded.
Who left?
At that moment, Ted walked over and asked curiously.
"Robin ..."
Lily sadly recounted what had happened.
"Oh."
Ted was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered.
Any genuine and intense emotion is the result of accumulated time and experiences.
Without those subsequent developments, without the repeated unrequited love, his initial infatuation with Robin wouldn't have lasted long, and naturally wouldn't have developed into the kind of obsessive, unforgettable longing seen in the original timeline.
