MAX Calls
Medical Center.
The insightful dialogue continues.
"Addison, you're not serious, are you?"
Nancy Shepherd looked at Dr. Montgomery strangely. "You don't really think Mark came here just for you, do you? He slept with his tennis partner's wife, and when he heard his tennis partner went to buy a gun, he came here to avoid danger."
"Yeah?"
Dr. Montgomery said calmly, "If he came here with that intention, then I can only offer my condolences."
In Boston, he slept with someone's wife, and when the woman went to buy a gun, he knew about it and was able to hide and run away.
In New York, he slept with someone's wife, and before he even realized he'd been exposed, the woman came looking for him with a gun and blew him to pieces.
Nancy, you're a doctor too, you haven't forgotten the tragedy that happened at the Medical Center last year, have you?
"..."
Nancy was speechless.
She was also Experienced Women, so she didn't have any ill feelings towards a man like Mark.
Tool Person to each other; who's playing whom is still unknown.
However, she still felt a sense of shared sorrow, like the fox mourning the death of a rabbit or the teeth feeling cold when the lips are gone.
No way.
A man who cheated on another man's wife was humiliated and his reputation was ruined.
Are women who cheat on their husbands always because they are bold, have a good personality, and attract not only the husband but also the woman they cheated on?
You won't have the chance to meet someone's wife who is ruthless and doesn't talk much.
Dream on!
Unless that man's wife also desires her body.
"You don't need to say anything more. It's impossible for me to be with Derek or Mark."
Dr. Montgomery said wistfully, "My love is completely dead."
Nancy didn't say much at this point.
The two said goodbye.
Adam went to meet him.
"Dr. Montgomery."
"Adam, is there something wrong with Noelle?"
Dr. Montgomery's eyes narrowed.
"No."
Adam smiled and said, "She's fine. My good friend Monica came for a prenatal checkup, and I'd like Dr. Montgomery to take another look to make sure the baby is okay."
"Good."
Dr. Montgomery nodded and smiled, "It's really nice to be your friend."
"Good friends, we know."
Adam smiled.
He led Dr. Montgomery over, and after examining Monica, he found that everything was fine.
Everyone was very happy.
Where's Joey?
After finishing the check-up, Monica finally thought about going to see the person she was supposed to meet today.
"Come with me."
Adam led them there.
In the hospital ward.
Joey sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Noelle's belly with a happy expression.
Adam went in to check, and then let Monica and the others chat with Joey and Noelle.
We need to let Monica and the others get to know Noelle before we can hold the admonition meeting tonight.
Night falls.
Inside Adam's hospital office.
Apart from Joey, everyone else gathered.
"Adam, is this really necessary?"
Chandler hesitated and said, "I think this Noelle is alright."
"Judging a person by their appearance, and judging them by their actions, not their intentions."
Adam prompted, "Do you really find Noelle's behavior acceptable?"
"Cannot."
Monica shook her head and said, "But she's pregnant with Joey's daughter now. Are we going to separate them and let Joey's daughter be born without a complete family?"
Is a complete family necessarily happier than a single-parent family?
Adam shook his head. "I don't think so, it depends on the situation."
After becoming pregnant, Noelle really didn't want the child. For this reason, she not only rejected the child's father's marriage proposal, but also broke up with him.
Afterwards, disregarding the baby in her belly, she immediately started a relationship with Joey, telling Joey not to worry and to do whatever she wanted.
Will she really be a good mother?
"Maybe she'll change her mind?"
Monica said with a heavy heart, "It might be different after you actually become a mother. It's a process where physiology influences psychology, and maternal instincts will naturally overflow."
"Perhaps."
Adam nodded and said, "But undeniably, there are also many mothers who have never shown any maternal instincts whatsoever. If Joey were to encounter a mother like that, have you considered what Joey would face in the future?"
"Little Adam, don't worry, Mommy loves you the most."
Monica touched her belly, said a few comforting words, and shrugged, "I don't care anymore, I can't listen to these things anymore. My Little Adam must grow up healthy and happy, and must not be exposed to these dark aspects."
"I'm sorry, it was my fault."
Adam smiled and said, "Monica, I'll have someone accompany you out for a walk."
Then, he called over the nurse next to him and asked her to accompany Monica for a walk to get some exercise.
Adam continued talking about it with Chandler, Ross, Rachel, Phoebe.
"It's only 26 weeks, there are still about 16 weeks left, four months."
Rachel said, "Let them get to know each other first, and then they can get married."
"More than 16 weeks."
Adam cautioned, "Children under the age of three generally don't have long-term memory, so Joey has plenty of time. In that long, if Noelle has any problems, they will be revealed in their daily interactions."
Not everyone is Sheldon, remembering everything.
Before the development of long-term memory, there is no issue of the lack of a complete family negatively impacting a child's mental health.
"Yes."
Everyone's eyes lit up. "Joey has plenty of time."
"So what we need to do now is to keep Joey from acting impulsively."
Adam concluded, "Don't act impulsively just because Noelle is pregnant with his daughter and thinks he has to take responsibility immediately. You can wait."
If this were a purely comedic world, Adam wouldn't have gone to such lengths.
If Joey wants to get married, then let's get married.
In any case, don't be too casual about whirlwind marriages and divorces in the world of comedy.
But this is a composite world of American TV series and movies, and there are many twisted characters in it.
What if this Noelle is some kind of twisted being like Huanhuan? Joey marries her, he might not even have time to get a divorce before Joey's gone.
This is no joke.
Joey is a well-known soap opera actor, and he has earned a lot of money over the years.
Where there is profit, there is motivation.
Adam didn't want anything to happen to Joey.
Even if they don't get married now, Joey is still at risk if Noelle turns out to be a tough character.
After all, Joey is dead, and Noelle's daughter is the first heir.
As her daughter's guardian, she is also entitled to inherit the estate, although the procedures are a bit complicated.
This is the bitter fruit of haphazard sowing.
Because you have absolutely no idea what kind of ruthless person you might encounter.
And because you have a bloodline with this ruthless person, you will find it very difficult to get rid of him.
Even if you say you are impotent, it won't work!
After Adam unified everyone's thoughts, when Joey arrived, he was met with a uniform, admonishing gaze from everyone.
Joey was already hesitant about how to communicate with his African-American son in the future, but after being persuaded by Adam and the others, he completely gave up the idea of proposing immediately.
In the end, we decided to try getting to know each other first.
Adam also told Rachel and Phoebe to pay more attention to Noelle in the future and to secretly observe what kind of person she was.
Later, when Juno comes over, we'll have the chance to let her go and see.
If Juno approves, then there's no problem.
If not, then we can only try our best to stop it.
If Joey really can't listen to reason, then we'll just have to let it go.
Joey is not Chandler, after all.
Adam could only do his best, but he wouldn't give it his all.
As the admonition meeting was drawing to a close, Adam received a phone call. He told Chandler and the others to continue, then took his phone and left the office. A mysterious smile played on his lips as he took a deep breath and answered the call, "MAX?"
