Medical Center.

Surgical.

In the corridor.

"Well done, Adam!"

As soon as Cristina saw Adam, she immediately began to praise him, "He truly proves to us real doctors that real doctors save lives."

"Alright, Cristina."

Meredith interrupted speechlessly, "Plastic surgeons are doctors too. Don't belittle the entire plastic surgery department just because he made you angry."

Did I say something wrong?

Cristina scoffed, "A real doctor is one who can save lives. Mark Sloan is just good at making money. If he's so capable, why doesn't he save someone?"

Such people, when faced with an emergency, will simply watch the show like they did today.

But that's not surprising.

Are you suggesting he embroider a flower on a patient's heart, or use his brain nerves to create a complete picture to save them?

"Puff!"

Adam burst out laughing and couldn't help but give Cristina a thumbs up, "Cristina, you've got a sharp tongue! Awesome!"

"No way."

Cristina shrugged and said, "What can we do? They can't see us little people. We have to have something special to let them know who Cristina Yang is!"

"You're really angry."

Adam looked at Cristina in surprise.

Plastic surgery is indeed at the bottom of the medical hierarchy, but in this money-driven society, plastic surgeons who make a lot of money still have a high social status.

Emmm.

Cristina had long ago decided on Cardiothoracic Surgery, so from her position in Cardiothoracic Surgery, she mocked Plastic Surgery Department, which was at the bottom of the academic hierarchy.

Just like how intellectuals mock nouveau riche, they both envy the nouveau riche's wealth and despise their crude social status.

But she was just an intern, while Mark Sloan was a top Plastic Surgery Department surgeon who became the head of the Plastic Surgery Department as soon as he entered the Medical Center.

Their statuses are completely unequal.

Cristina wouldn't have done something like this—namely mocking someone, and mocking them so mercilessly—unless she was absolutely furious.

"If it were you, wouldn't you be angry?"

Cristina rolled her eyes.

"Hehe, I think he'll definitely remember who Cristina Young is in the future."

Adam couldn't help but laugh.

For a highly talented and proud surgeon, being ignored in the professional field is intolerable, not only for an Attending Physician she rarely meets, but also for her boyfriend, husband, and parents.

So what if Cristina mocked you Mark Sloan?

This isn't the first time!

Not long after she arrived, she was ridiculed by many as pediatricians being little kids and psychiatrists being mentally challenged!

She has extremely poor interpersonal relationships, so what?

As long as Dr. Burke, a top Cardiothoracic Surgery, is still her boyfriend and willing to teach her, she has no worries at all.

She didn't have Adam's ambition. She actively sought out surgeries in departments such as emergency, gynecology, Neonatology, orthopedics, and Plastic Surgery Department, as if she wanted to be an expert in all departments.

She was only interested in Cardiothoracic Surgery and had no interest in rotating through other departments.

In two more months, her one-year internship will be over. After passing the residency exam, she will become a formal Cardiothoracic Surgery resident.

She couldn't care less what the Chief of Plastic Surgery thought of her!

"You even agreed with her."

Meredith looked at Adam with displeasure.

"I'm just telling the truth."

Adam laughed and said, "Besides, Cristina isn't planning on having any close relationship with Mark Sloan, so what's wrong with teasing her a bit?"

"..."

Meredith's face darkened.

She felt that Adam was mocking her.

What does the word "unprepared" mean?

Adam smiled and left.

Today is the day that Aunt Sheldon Beatrice, is being discharged from the hospital. As her attending physician and a younger relative, he naturally has to go and see her off.

"Mrs. Cooper, Beatrice, Emilia."

Upon entering the VIP ward, Adam greeted the three of them one by one. Then, under their expectant gazes, he carefully examined them to ensure there were no problems before smiling and saying, "Congratulations, Beatrice, you can be discharged now."

Two weeks have passed since the last surgery, and the surgical wound has healed, allowing me to move around freely.

Cancer has already given her a diagnosis.

Beatrice clearly didn't want to waste her last bit of time in the hospital.

Even in the last few weeks of her life, she wanted to live a vibrant life, even if she wasn't DJing or dancing at nightclubs.

"Thank God!"

The devout believer Mary immediately expressed her gratitude to the greatest contributor.

"Mom, I'll go with you wherever you want to go."

Emilia said happily.

"Even though you've been discharged from the hospital, you should still avoid doing anything too strenuous."

Adam couldn't help but remind him.

"I know."

Beatrice smiled and said, "I just want to travel around and see the sights."

"Emilia and I will stay with you."

Mary laughed, "This perfectly fulfills our childhood dream of traveling together."

"Alright."

Beatrice had no objection.

She knew that even if she wanted to wander around by herself, Mary and Emilia wouldn't feel comfortable letting her go.

Furthermore Emilia and Mary were already her closest relatives in the world. If she didn't spend her last days with them, who else would she spend her time with?

"You can go to Wharton School of Business, meet Missy, and have her show Emilia and you around so you can get a feel for what university is like."

Adam chuckled and suggested, "If I remember correctly, Mrs. Cooper's first college trip was very enjoyable."

"That's right!"

Upon hearing this, Mary's big eyes lit up. "The first time I took Sheldon to college, he didn't want me to come with him, afraid that people would treat him like a child, so he made me wait outside the college."

Luckily, I ran into Sam, a classmate from Sheldon High School's physics class. She bought me a school commemorative T-shirt and took me for a walk around campus.

What a nice girl... though her goal was to make Sheldon see me wearing a school souvenir t-shirt and be depressed.

But she's a really good girl.

What's even more fun is...

After I put it on, a boy Jason came over and invited Sam to a back-to-school barbecue party. Sam said I was her friend.

As a result, Jason assumed I was also a freshman at the school.

Can you believe it?

He thought I was a female college student!

Hahaha."

Even after so many years, Mary still couldn't stop smiling as she spoke of this.

"That sounds interesting."

Beatrice couldn't help but laugh.

You know, she looks exactly like Mary, so the sense of identification is incredibly strong, isn't it?

"Of course it's interesting."

Mary waved and laughed, "They were all so friendly. They all admire me because they know I'm a mother of three. They said I'm so cool. I love university so much!"

"Alright, let's go home first, visit some friends, and then our first stop will be Missy's Wharton School of Business, where Missy will give us a proper tour of the university."

Beatrice laughed.

"Missy isn't Sheldon, she'll definitely treat you well."

Adam laughed and said, "By the way, I still don't know where you guys live, Beatrice."

Emilia quickly told them the name of the town.

"Huh?"

Adam was astonished. "You're in that town too? What a coincidence!"

"How?"

Emilia asked curiously, "You know?"

"Right!"

Adam remarked, "My best friend lives there, and another friend of mine recently met the perfect girlfriend who is also a teacher at the elementary school in your town."

"What's your friend's name? And what's that elementary school teacher's name?"

Beatrice laughed and said, "Perhaps we know each other."

"My friend's name is Monica Geller, and my friend's current girlfriend is Anna Taylor."

Adam said.

"The Geller Family?"

Beatrice chuckled, "Is it that particularly competitive Geller Family, the one with the boy and girl who once ended up in the hospital fighting over football?"

"It's them!"

Adam chuckled and said, "It seems the Geller Family is quite famous where you are."

"Teacher Taylor even taught me."

Emilia couldn't help but say, "What a coincidence!"

"Yes."

Adam nodded. "What a coincidence."

After chatting and laughing for a while, the nurses had already helped them with the discharge procedures. Adam saw them off, told them to call him if they needed anything, and then went back to the hospital.

Then he saw a familiar figure, which surprised him again.
