"What's going on?"
Adam couldn't help but ask.
"You don't know?"
redith looked at Adam with an unusual expression in her 'affectionate' eyes.
"You really don't know?"
Liz was laughing the hardest.
"What happened?"
Adam frowned.
He genuinely had no idea.
And that made him very annoyed.
"January 30th—every night, a groom."
Liz gloated. "Now, everyone knows that our hospital has a 'Mr. January 30th.'"
"Barney Stinson!"
As soon as Adam heard this, he imdiately understood what had happened. He gritted his teeth and said each word slowly.
This had to be the work of Barney Stinson, who was currently hospitalized.
Then, the scene from that morning replayed in Adam's mind.
n's restroom.
Adam was using the urinal.
The chubby Stu and the bald Chris walked in side by side, taking positions on either side of Adam.
Their gazes simultaneously shifted toward him.
One of them had a lewd grin, while the other had a look of disbelief and self-doubt.
Adam was used to being compared to others. He simply finished his business and left.
A real man never looks at others. Besides, if anyone was going to feel insecure, it wouldn't be him.
But thinking back now, Stu and Chris probably had heard so gossip and had co to verify it.
Then, more rumors must have spread from them, escalating the situation even further.
"Bianca is so lucky," Christina sighed.
"Yeah," redith agreed, her uniquely alluring voice making people feel tingly.
"Winning in love, losing at work," Liz mocked. "Haven't you noticed that the nurses are hostile toward Bianca? Now that they know Adam is handso, rich, and unbelievably strong, their jealousy is practically uncontrollable. This morning, I even saw them purposely giving her a hard ti."
Adam's mouth twitched.
Offending nurses—or being targeted by them—was definitely bad news for an intern doctor.
After all, the saying "Doctors diagnose, nurses treat" wasn't baseless.
Without nurses, a doctor's workload would be a living nightmare.
Can you imagine a doctor diagnosing a patient, only for that patient to vomit or lose control of their bladder and bowels, and then the doctor having to clean it up?
Unscheduled patients were all called in through the nurses' station.
If a nurse disliked you, they could keep calling you for the most difficult and disgusting tasks.
Would you go or not?
Complain?
Nurses had signed contracts and union protection. The boss wouldn't get involved in disputes between doctors and nurses. You had to solve your own problems.
And if you caused trouble, the nurses would unite against you, making your life hell—with nowhere to complain.
Thinking about how Bianca might be facing hostility and even being deliberately tornted because of him, Adam couldn't sit still. He got up and left.
This situation needed to be handled carefully, or it would beco a big problem.
As he reached the corner, he spotted a group of nurses chatting. Adam imdiately began eavesdropping.
"Is it true? Dr. Duncan is handso and rich, but he seems so refined. Is he really that powerful?"
"Of course it's true! Dr. Fowler and Dr. Turk confird it."
"So people are just naturally gifted."
"Even Dr. Turk, who's Black, said so. 'Naturally gifted' isn't even enough to describe Dr. Duncan."
"That's right. Not just anyone can be 'Mr. January 30th—every night, a groom!'"
"Looks like Dr. Duncan is quite the player too."
"A man who doesn't enjoy life in his youth is wasting it."
"Olivia seems to like Dr. Duncan. She's gorgeous—maybe she has a chance."
"Not necessarily. It depends on chemistry. For all we know, Dr. Duncan might prefer soone like ."
"…"
The gossiping crowd fell silent, staring speechlessly at a plump Black nurse who confidently swayed her overly curvy hips.
At the corner, Adam's mouth twitched even more.
He knew this nurse wasn't joking—she genuinely believed it.
And this wasn't just empty talk.
Just yesterday, Adam had treated a curvaceous Brazilian woman with a swollen belly.
After examination, he found that she wasn't pregnant but had a tumor. Thankfully, it was benign.
Then sothing surprising happened.
The Brazilian woman refused Adam's suggestion to have surgery.
Her reason?
Her husband loved her body the way it was—curvy and voluptuous.
Since the tumor was benign and not life-threatening, she didn't want a scar on her stomach ruining her bikini look.
When Adam tried to persuade her to reconsider, she got mad. She even accused him of discrimination, saying:
"I'm not fat. This is real feminine beauty! You guys who only like those twisted, skeletal won don't understand true curves!"
Blah, blah, blah.
Adam could tell this wasn't just an angry retort—it was what she truly believed.
Then, today, her husband ca in and confird it.
According to him, when she was pregnant, her maternal glow was absolutely stunning.
So, he truly loved his wife's plump figure.
Of course, for the sake of her health, he still wanted her to have surgery, even if it ant sacrificing the body he adored.
And then reality took an even more ridiculous turn.
As the husband showed pictures of their happy family, trying to convince the doctors, Adam imdiately noticed sothing wrong.
Based on genetics, two out of their three children clearly weren't his.
The reason the Brazilian woman was so confident?
Aside from her husband loving her curves, she also had a secret lover who adored them too.
She didn't want surgery—not because of her husband, but because her lover probably wouldn't like the scar on her stomach.
Adam subtly pointed out the genetic issue, and the woman, realizing she had been caught, confessed everything.
After Adam assured her he wouldn't reveal her secret, she finally agreed to the surgery—at the cost of giving up her lover.
And this wasn't even an isolated case.
In the future, there would be an entire family who would gain fa across Arica because of sothing similar.
That's why, when Adam heard the confident declaration of that plump Black nurse, he was utterly speechless.
"Damn it!"
He cursed under his breath and took a detour.
VIP Ward.
"...Yes, yes! Listen, you guys, Adam and I are best friends, partners, comrades-in-arms! We've been through countless legendary nights together…"
Before even stepping inside, Adam could already hear Barney's unmistakable voice spewing shaless nonsense.
Thinking about how Barney was the root of all this trouble—even causing a chubby Black nurse to openly drool over him—rage surged through Adam.
He roared:
"Barney Stinson!!!"
