Medical Center.
"Dr. Duncan, how is Beth's father?"
The moment Adam stepped out of the Operating Room, he ran into an anxious-looking George.
"Who are you asking on behalf of?"
Adam could not help smiling. "Beth, the family member, or Dr. Hunt?"
"...Is there a difference?"
George froze.
"Of course there is."
Adam headed outside. "If you're speaking for Dr. Hunt, then don't bother.
Because I already made it clear to him: stay away from my patient.
Mr. Greent's condition isn't suitable for seeing someone who makes him angry.
If another complication arises, the consequences will be serious."
"I'm speaking for Beth."
George jogged after him.
"You can speak for Beth now, huh?"
Adam gave him a surprised look. As George's round face reddened, Adam smiled. "Grey has already gone to talk to her. You'd better get over there quickly."
"Why?"
George paused.
"Although the complication has been brought under control, the terrible news about the colorectal cancer can't be hidden."
Adam gave him a teasing smile. "Beth needs a hug right now. Obviously, her ex-fiancé's arms are no longer open to her. You're a professional... you're perfect for the job."
"...What do you mean, I'm a professional?"
George flushed crimson.
"I mean you have a good personality and know how to comfort women."
Adam patted him on the shoulder. "Don't overthink it."
George was furious and wanted to argue with Adam, but when he thought of Beth's tear-streaked face, he could not bear it. After struggling in place for a while, he stamped his foot and ran toward Beth.
She was both a patient's family member and Dr. Hunt's ex-fiancée. He could not help caring about her.
A few days later.
George led Beth into the cafeteria, chatting and laughing as he helped her get food.
