Damn Romance

Medical Center.

After Anna confessed, Adam began taking her for various tests.

"Adam, tell me, this isn't true!"

While Anna was having an MRI scan, Dr. Montgomery, having received the news, came looking for her.

"I'm sorry, it's true."

Adam pointed to Anna lying in the MRI Room and sighed, "See her? Mr. Deakin injected her with hydration sleeping pills and she was almost buried alive. There are probably more than a hundred cases like this."

"No!"

Dr. Montgomery covered his mouth, tears streaming down his face, unable to accept the result.

"When Mr. Deakin was arrested, he did not deny it and directly stated his beliefs. He did not think he had done anything wrong, but only believed that he was cleaning up the Walking Dead."

Adam shook his head and said, "That's the real reason why he hasn't accepted other women all these years. He needs to be secretive when he commits crimes, and loneliness is a good cover."

"No!"

Dr. Montgomery exclaimed, "I can feel his love for me; he didn't lie to me!"

"Perhaps."

Adam cautioned, "But it doesn't matter anymore. He's now a super serial killer, and the police are currently exhuming his body in the cemetery behind his funeral home to verify it."

If his grave contains more than a hundred victims who were buried alive and died tragically, and you are a renowned doctor who should know the state of being buried alive, do you think it still matters whether you have feelings for each other at that point?

I suggest you take a break and rest for a while..."

Dr. Montgomery covered his mouth and quickly left.

Adam sighed.

That's so unlucky!

Who would have thought that Mr. Deakin, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes who looked so righteous, was actually this kind of person?

Damn!

After watching Dr. Montgomery leave, Adam turned back to the scanning screen and immediately cursed.

"Call Dr. Shepherd."

"Yes, Dr. Duncan."

The nurse called for help, and Dr. Shepherd arrived shortly afterward for a consultation.

"How is Adam?"

In the corridor, Ted asked with concern.

"The situation is not good."

Adam's expression turned somber. "Anna has primary brain cancer, which is why she has headaches, nosebleeds, and hallucinations."

"What?!"

Ted and his two companions cried out in terror.

The moment something is associated with cancer, it almost immediately becomes shrouded in gloom.

Can it be cured?

Marshall was the calmest.

"The only option is to remove the malignant tumor, followed by chemotherapy. He should be able to live for a few more years."

Adam glanced at Ted with pity.

In this timeline, because of Adam's reckless flapping of his wings, Ted went to see his perfect soulmate, whom he hadn't been able to meet before because of Robin.

Adam originally thought that Ted had missed the Yellow Umbrella and the pain of its Yellow Umbrella.

But who could have imagined that this perfect soulmate would first be nearly buried alive, scaring Ted half to death, and then be diagnosed with cancer and told he wouldn't live more than a few years?

The longest confession is to stay by someone's side.

Conversely, in such a situation, watching your loved one pass away is the longest and most agonizing experience.

"No!"

Lily covered her mouth and cried.

"What's the longest it can last?"

Marshall glanced at Ted, who was stunned again, and asked.

"It usually takes 2 to 3 years."

Adam explained, "It usually doesn't take more than 5 years."

"Ted, are you alright?"

Marshall looked at the stunned Ted with concern.

"I want to marry her!"

Ted suddenly exclaimed, "I'm proposing to her tonight! I'm going to give her all my love from now on!"

Marshall was taken aback. "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure!"

Ted said with a determined look in his eyes, "Now I only regret not meeting her sooner, so I could have given her more love when she was afraid to accept it. I don't want my future self to regret every single second I wasted now!"

I want to marry her!

I want to stay with her!

May she be happy for the rest of her life!

"I support you, Ted!"

Lily is a very emotional person, and she immediately expressed her support. "If you two get engaged tonight, maybe we can have a wedding for two!"

"Yes."

Marshall was worried that Ted would later grieve over the loss of his loved one.

But if Ted is serious, he won't discourage him.

If it were Lily, he would also choose to do the same thing as Ted without hesitation.

"But is that alright?"

Marshall looked at Adam.

"I'm afraid that won't work."

Adam shook his head. "The sooner this kind of surgery is done, the better. Post-operative recovery and follow-up treatment take time. Your wedding is less than two weeks away, so there's no time."

"Then tonight!"

Ted declared decisively, "If I succeed in proposing, I'll immediately fly to Las Vegas with Anna and we'll have our wedding there. I want her to be the happiest bride!"

At this point, he looked at Adam with longing in his eyes and said, "Adam, I hope you can help me."

Brain surgery, putting aside the recovery time, will almost certainly result in the complete loss of a full head of hair.

Moreover, the surgery severely depletes one's vitality, and visible aging is inevitable.

If you want to have your wedding in the most beautiful state, the time before surgery is indeed the best.

Ted couldn't possibly give Anna the perfect wedding in such a short time on his own.

Barney's income as a senior executive is also uncertain.

Only Adam in my circle of friends definitely has this ability.

"If you're serious, of course I'll help you."

Adam looked at Ted, Marshall, Lily, who were all looking at him expectantly, and nodded, saying, "And we don't need to go through all that trouble flying to Las Vegas. Let's just hold it in New York."

Saves even more time!

What you lack most right now is time!

The judge will be moved by your relationship... and will make an exception.

Of course, this is all predicated on Anna accepting your proposal.

"I'm serious!"

Ted calmed down, but his attitude remained unchanged. "I believe Anna will accept me."

"As long as you're serious."

Adam looked at him deeply, his heart filled with emotion.

This is Ted!

This is damn romance!

"Let's go tell Anna this terrible news first. Then I'll give you a call. Ted, you just need to discuss with Marshall and Lily what to do, and someone will take care of the details for you."

"Thank you, Adam!"

Ted's eyes were filled with emotion.

Adam smiled and waved his hand.

His impression of Ted, while not as good as that of Marshall and Lily, was still alright.

In this life, Barney has been messing around much less, and without Robin constantly hanging in the balance, he keeps hurting good girls because of it. The current Ted is much better off than in the original timeline.

If he truly provided long-term, genuine companionship.

So Adam is willing to admit that he has really changed, and is no longer the jerk who keeps saying he wants to find true love but is actually still unpredictable.

You should know that the girl who played La Vie en rose deceased lover had been lonely for seven or eight years, smilingly rejecting one suitor after another.

Years later, when she couldn't bear to reject a boy, she dated him for a while.

But when her boyfriend took out the diamond ring, her first reaction was to tell him to wait a moment, then she went out of the room, looked up at the starry sky, and talked to her deceased love in heaven, asking her what she should do and whether she should say yes.

A gust of wind blew by.

She wiped away her tears and smiled, "I'll take this as a yes. I think it's time to say goodbye to the past. Goodbye, Max."

Then, as she turned and went inside, she rejected her boyfriend's marriage proposal, took her luggage, and walked out of her ex-boyfriend's apartment.

She promised to let go, but how could true love make her let go?

Adam himself wouldn't even dare to approach a girl like that, so how could he possibly let Ted pursue her now?

Time is the only true measure of whether a relationship is genuine.

If Ted has truly changed, no longer so frivolous as to say "I love you" the moment he meets someone, and no longer immediately moving on to another "true love" once the feelings fade.

Instead, they know to wait patiently, letting time refine them so they can be in the best possible condition to welcome their future partner.

Many years later, perhaps Adam will actually consider giving him that number.

Everything depends on Ted's performance.

Otherwise, meeting the right person at the wrong time would be a disaster.

It would be better if we never met!
