Never in a Million Years

The next day.

New York University Medical Center.

"Adam, what brings you here?"

When Caroline saw Adam, she asked in surprise, "Shouldn't you be resting at home?"

"I came to take a look around and finish my volunteer work at the hospital."

Adam laughed.

After thinking it over all night, he naturally wouldn't delay any longer; action speaks louder than words.

"I see."

Caroline was a little disappointed, but nodded understandingly.

Anyone would be greatly impacted by something like this, and choosing to leave and change environments is a very good option.

However, she met Adam at this hospital, and now that Adam is gone, there won't be many more opportunities for them to meet.

She noticed at the last gathering of friends that Ted and Marshall were Adam's classmates, Monica and the others were Adam's roommates and friends, and they often hung out together.

Her relationship with Adam, though close, was the most fragile and prone to decay.

Now, it has indeed withered away...

Have you heard?

Caroline suppressed her unease and smiled as she began to gossip, "That little girl Esther from yesterday wasn't a little girl at all!"

"What?"

Adam was immediately shocked.

What else could she be but a little girl?

Could it be a little boy dressed as a girl?

"Yes."

Caroline exclaimed, "Who would have thought she's a 33-year-old woman who has maintained this figure only because of an illness? Mrs. Coleman said she comes from the Arctic Bear Mental Hospital, and the police have already contacted them."

The autopsy results confirmed this claim; she had scars on her neck and hands from wearing a tight-fitting bodysuit, and her teeth, ugh...

At this point, Caroline frowned and said, "It's like an old person's teeth. She usually wears braces, just like the coverings on her neck and wrists, and no one has noticed."

"Depend on!"

Adam was dumbfounded. It wasn't women in drag, but a legal loli. He never expected this.

"If she really is from a mental hospital, then everything makes sense."

After his initial shock, Adam analyzed, "How often do you get to see a dentist in a mental hospital?"

Westerners have a habit of seeing a dentist regularly, which is related to their dietary habits. They like to eat sweets and meat, but rarely eat vegetables. They not only brush their teeth, but also use dental floss to clean between their teeth regularly.

This is self-cleaning, but over time, teeth will develop problems, the most common being that the teeth become darker in color, making it impossible to smile with a bright white smile.

At this point, you'll need to see a dentist.

Dentists have special tools and methods to clean all kinds of dental problems, ensuring you get a bright white smile, and they even have different levels of expertise.

For example, in the original timeline, Ross went to get his teeth whitened specifically for a date, but he accidentally went too far. When he opened his mouth, his teeth were so shiny that Ross was too scared to speak and just kept nodding in agreement. However, just like Rajesh, he unexpectedly became his date's favorite 'listener'.

At his date's house, Ross turned off the lights, intending to say something sweet to get lucky, but little did he know that his date's house had ultraviolet lights installed, and Ross's bright white teeth made a dazzling appearance in the darkness...

Rachel's runaway boyfriend is a dentist who earns a high income, so naturally his fees are also high. Without dental insurance, many people can't afford to see a dentist.

If Esther came from a mental hospital, how could she have had the chance to see a dentist?

Imagine what would happen to a 33-year-old Western woman who hasn't seen a dentist for years, and who is even unable to use dental floss or a toothbrush for self-care due to extreme violence.

"Yes."

Caroline nodded. "And do you know why she killed him? I heard she was pursuing her love, in a twisted way, of course..."

After hearing this, Adam couldn't help but retort, "She's definitely out of her mind. With her background, if she really wanted to pursue love, wouldn't she be able to find someone?"

If you can't find one, let Juno introduce you to someone!

Maybe we'll lose two troublemakers and gain a loving couple with the cutest height difference.

Caroline glanced at Adam.

"Ahem, has the boy woken up?"

Adam felt a little uncomfortable under Caroline's gaze, so he coughed lightly and changed the subject.

"I woke up and was taken to the police station."

Caroline laughed and said, "Thanks to you for saving him in time, you're a hero!"

"Hehe."

Adam keenly sensed the subtle shift in Caroline's tone.

"Mrs. Coleman said she wanted to thank you in person."

Caroline rolled her eyes at Adam when she saw him smile without saying a word.

"No."

Adam did not want to deal with this matter again.

Do you know?

Caroline smiled and said, "It's being said at the hospital that Mrs. Coleman laughed heartily and was very happy when she heard about Mr. Coleman and that Esther's deaths, but we can all understand her."

"Yeah?"

Adam smiled noncommittally.

"Certainly."

Caroline said, "You can think of Esther as the mistress. Mr. Coleman cheated on Mrs. Coleman first, causing her to miscarry. Then, he colluded with the mistress to constantly provoke her. No matter what she said, he chose not to believe her and believed the mistress instead, almost driving her crazy and sending her to a mental hospital. His own child almost died at the hands of the mistress. Would any woman feel sad about Mr. Coleman's death?"

Adam opened his mouth, but was speechless.

Is this even a possible interpretation?

He didn't know that Esther killed John because John rejected her, and he thought she did it to escape.

After learning that Esther was a legally married 33-year-old loli, and recalling John's previous foolish behavior that seemed to be completely out of his mind, Adam couldn't help but have some doubts.

Following this suspicion, and further understanding Caroline's logic regarding being a mistress, upon closer examination, it seems to make sense.

After chatting with Caroline for a while, Adam went to process his resignation and get the volunteer certificate from the hospital. After all, he had worked there for a semester, which was a kind of experience, so he couldn't give it up.

As Adam passed by the ward, he saw Kate sitting by the bedside, tightly embracing her deaf and mute daughter Max. John's mother stood to the side, looking sorrowful, while a man in a suit stood with his back to them, talking to the waking Danny.

Danny reached out and held his mother Kate's hand, looking strong, showing none of the nonchalance and carefree attitude Kate displayed when she suffered her miscarriage.

Clearly, these two near-death experiences had a significant impact on the boy.

In the future, even if he can't support the family in the short term, he can still provide enough support for his mother, Kate, and that will be enough for her.

Adam felt somewhat relieved; it wasn't for nothing that he had taken such a great risk to save him.

Adam stood watching from a distance for a while, and was about to leave when the man in the suit who had his back to him suddenly turned around. Upon seeing him, Adam immediately exclaimed, "Holy shit!"
