Ward 2.

As Adam walked to the door, he heard a muffled sobbing sound.

Look inside through the glass window above the door.

Sure enough, Bill was buried on the pillow, his body trembling and sobbing.

"Alas. ”

Adam sighed inwardly.

Stood outside for more than ten minutes, waiting for Bill's crying to stop.

Adam then pushed the door in.

"Dr. Duncan. ”

Bill wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and greeted with a forced smile.

"Are you alright?"

Adam said softly: "You have just had surgery, you have to recuperate well, and be careful of breaking the wound." ”

"Thank you, doctor, I know. ”

Bill Qiang laughed.

"Need Dr. Burke?"

Adam hesitated, "Maybe you need to have a good chat with him?"

"Preston has spoken to me about it. ”

Bill squeezed out a smile: "I'm fine, I just need time to recover, just like this wound." ”

As he spoke, he touched the wound that had been cut and sutured during the operation.

"If there's something I can ask the nurse to call me. ”

Adam nodded, explained, and prepared to leave.

But when he got to the door, he turned back again.

"What's wrong, Dr. Duncan?"

Bill looked at Adam.

"There are some things that I shouldn't have said. ”

Adam stood in front of the hospital bed and muttered, "But I still want to advise you, I want to open up, the truth is really important sometimes." ”

He's Bill's bedside doctor, so he naturally doesn't want Bill to break his wound because he's too sad.

When the time comes, no matter what the specific reason is, he will be a bit derelict in his duties.

Therefore, even if he is reluctant to intervene in the patient's private affairs.

But in order to complete this case as perfectly as possible, he also plans to make an exception and give Bill some psychological counseling.

"Thank you, Dr. Duncan. ”

Bill was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I understand, Preston is both my good buddy and my doctor, telling me the truth, all for my good." ”

"Interested in hearing me tell a true story?"

Adam simply sat down.

"Of course. ”

Bill was very cooperative.

Even if he is in pain at the moment, he doesn't lose his temper with others, and he is a very educated person.

This is one of the important reasons why Adam was willing to do a lot of things.

"There is a young couple who are just twenty years old, the husband is white and the wife is African, they are childhood sweethearts, but because the husband's father fiercely opposes and beats and scolds at every turn, they run away from home at a very young age, rely on each other, and get married early. ”

Adam said slowly.

"They must be in love with each other. ”

Bill muttered.

"Yes. ”

Adam nodded: "They love each other very much, the kind that can give their lives for each other." Once they went to a restaurant to eat, unfortunately encountered robbers, and the robbers not only wanted to rob money, but also fell in love with the young wife, even if they were robbed and pointed at the head, seeing that the robbers wanted to molest the young wife, the husband dared to come forward, but was dissuaded by the wife. ”

"And then?"

Bill asked.

At this time, the kidnapper, who wanted to molest his wife, suddenly became unwell and coughed. ”

Adam continued: "The young husband, taking advantage of the attention of another robber, knocked the robber unconscious at once, and then knocked down the robber who wanted to molest his wife, and beat the other party hard, but then the young wife suddenly fell to the ground, reached out and covered her throat, and could not breathe. ”

"That coughing robber has an infectious disease?"

Bill guessed.

The crowd was skeptical. ”

Adam said: "The husband loves his wife very much, so even if they are very poor, they usually don't dare to call an ambulance, but this time the husband gritted his teeth and did not stop the people around him from calling an ambulance, after all, this is not a broken leg......"

When Bill heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.

He could hear the teasing in Adam's words.

As an African-American who came out of the slums, he empathized with the mentality of his young husband.

When I was in school, one of my classmates was like this and accidentally broke his leg.

A rich classmate kindly wanted to call an ambulance for this classmate with a broken leg.

But when this classmate with a broken leg saw it, he was startled, and after asking clearly, he immediately shouted: "I'm fine, I'm fine, don't call an ambulance!"

Because the ambulance came, the 1,000 dollars were gone.

Not to mention the poor classmates with broken legs, even the average middle-class family will be very cautious and resolutely not call an ambulance if they can.

Similarly, there are fire trucks.

A 700-knife car is usually dispatched by more than 2 vehicles.

So sometimes it happens, the house is on fire, the fire truck comes, and the homeowner would rather watch the fire with the firefighters than the fire truck to put out the fire.

No way.

When the house burns down, it's gone, but after the fire, the homeowner can't afford to pay the expensive firefighting costs.

Just burn it out.

"When I arrived at the hospital, I couldn't find out what was wrong with my young wife at first. ”

Adam returned to the main topic of the story: "The young wife was once critically ill, and in order to find out what disease his wife had, the husband who had the same disease but was in a milder condition voluntarily gave up the treatment, let the condition deteriorate, and endured extreme pain, and asked the doctor to do a brain biopsy on him, and gave the doctor a test of medicine, in order to increase a glimmer of hope for saving his wife." ”

"This is true love......

Bill was shocked.

"Yes. ”

Adam nodded: "The husband is true love, with his dedication, the doctor finally found out the cause before the young wife died, it turned out that she had hereditary angioedema, a very rare genetic disease, but fortunately it is treatable." ”

"That's good, huh, isn't it?"

Bill first breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned: "You said before that her husband also had the same disease, but isn't this a rare genetic disease......?"

"Remember what was said at the beginning that the husband's father was so vehemently opposed to them being together that they ended up running away from home?"

"When the hospital contacted him, it was found that he had committed suicide," Adam said. ”

"But they're white, they're African?"

Bill muttered, "African-American?"

"The young wife is mixed-race, white-haired, and blue-eyed like her husband. ”

Adam said expressionlessly: "They are half-brothers and sisters, and the husband's father cheated on the mother of the wife next door, but he never told them. ”

Bill was shocked.

He finally understood what Adam meant by telling this true story.

"And then?"

Later, love was gone, only endless pain. ”

Adam sighed: "The wife does not want to see her husband's face anymore because she feels so sick, and the husband fears that if they have children, they will be deformed, and it is painful.

With the relationship between them, even if they are separated in the end, this pain will last for a lifetime, so the truth is sometimes really important, and the bloodline must not be confused. ”

"I see. ”

Bill muttered, "You're right!

Adam looked closely, and saw that he was shocked, but there was not much melancholy, and he was deeply relieved, so he did not tell another 'your sister' story.
