716 The Anti-Cancer Me

"Are you Dr. McKay?" Adam's expression was a little surprised. Looking at Catherine, who was standing in a small office, was helpless, her lips curled up slightly.

"Uh, I'm." Catherine was indeed caught off guard, not sure what she should do for a moment, but she quickly packed up her lunch and said, "Please sit, please sit casually." Looking at Adam sitting down on the sofa, there was a sudden silence between the two of them, and awkward silence. Catherine came to her senses, "Oh, are you Adam?"

"Yes." Adam looked at Catherine standing in front of him, full of youthful vitality, and even with the undisappeared childishness of a college student, he said half-jokingly, "I thought you were a sixty-five-year-old woman wearing a dirt-gray top." This is people's stereotype about psychologists.

Catherine grabbed her fingertips with a restrained silence, "Has anyone said that to me?" She obviously didn't catch Adam's laugh.

"No, no, no, I just..." Adam quickly explained, it was a rare joke, but the other party didn't catch the meme. Adam chuckled, "Sorry, can I ask about your age?"

Catherine suddenly realized without hesitation or concealment, "Twenty-four years old."

"Twenty-four? Wow." Adam expressed his surprise in his whole face, "So are you a girl version of doogie-howser or something?"

"Doogie-howser" is an American TV series aired in 1989, telling the story of a 14-year-old genius doctor. The protagonist is Neil-patrik-harris, who later became famous with the "Romance of My Mom".

"Who?" Catherine was confused.

Adam was confused, "Du Qi-Hao Sier? A genius little doctor?"

Catherine thought seriously, "Is he working here?" Obviously, Katherine was still in her infancy in the series aired in 1989, so naturally she had never heard of it.

Adam looked frustrated, and the second joke of laughter failed. "I mean, you are still too young to be a doctor."

Catherine suddenly realized and explained, "Technically speaking, I'm not a doctor, I'm still studying my doctoral program." Catherine stood upright and Adam sat upright. The scene seemed like Catherine was making a report, and Adam was the professor who was listening to the report.

"So that's it." Adam nodded.

Katherine then added, “I’m internship at this hospital.”

Adam understood, "I understand. Have you seen many patients?"

Catherine was a little panicked and covered her grandeur with laughter. "My diagnosis experience is not that..." She raised her shoulders and tried to find a more suitable word, but was interrupted by Adam. "I am your first patient, right?" Catherine smiled awkwardly and shook her body slightly exaggeratedly, "Ha, no!"

"Second?"

"Haha, no."

"The third one?"

“…”

Adam looked at Catherine whose smile was stiff at the corner of her mouth, pursed her lips and nodded, "Very good, that's the third one. So, what's going on with the two patients in front now?"

Catherine once again showed a professional smile, although she was not professional at all, and she looked a little guilty, and said playfully, "This is something I can't say." The patient's confidentiality agreement.

"Yes!" Adam remembered and gently closed his jaw, "For you, this is training, right?"

"This will be part of my paper." Catherine's gesture could not stop, but it had no explanation. It only seemed redundant, which showed her panic and nervousness in her heart, and she could not stop at all.

But Adam interrupted her later explanation, "Will you record everything?"

"Don't worry, I won't use my real name." Catherine's explanation did not work. Adam raised his eyebrows high and pursed his lips. His obscure and helpless expression seemed a little funny, which made people laugh.

Once again, Tessa's mouth rose.

This does not mean that she likes the heavy theme of cancer, but the movie discusses this topic in a relaxed and humorous way, but not serious way, which makes people feel happy. Especially when looking at the nerd Lan Li's appearance, she frowned, pursed her lips, licked her lips, and tilted her head. A series of small actions, which obviously had no special performance, always made people want to smile.

She likes Renley like this.

Catherine and Adam began to communicate, but such "psychotherapy" was also full of ridiculous joy. Adam kept emphasizing his calmness and calmness, but Catherine kept applying the knowledge from the book to Adam. As a result, the two people talked with each other, and the rhythm of the two people was not at all in line. The whole process was filled with an atmosphere of "embarrassing chatting", which was so awkward that the audience couldn't help laughing.

After the cancer was diagnosed, Adam seemed to have entered a strange state. He had no special feelings. His inner peace allowed daily life to continue. But everyone around him seemed to be suffering. Their sorrow, pain, and difficulties surrounded him. He began to become the "that person" mentioned by others, enjoying special treatment, feeling sympathy and pity, and even strangers he never knew in the company. When they met, they gave him a hug and an expression of "everything was left unspeakable".

The world seems to be the same, but it seems to be completely different.

This made Adam feel at a loss, as Rachel said, "I don't want to mix that world with this world." Rachel escorted Ah to the hospital for chemotherapy. She refused to enter the ward, but chose to stay outside and wait for the four hours of chemotherapy to end, she said.

These are two worlds. One is the world belonging to Adam, and the other is the original world. Now, Adam is isolated in another world, alone. However, in the chemotherapy room, Adam found his own belonging. Here, he is still an ordinary person. "Cancer" is not a sensitive topic that cannot be discussed, "life and death" is not an avoidable flood or beast, and "chemotherapy complications" are no longer a terrifying virus that is panicking.

He is still Adam, but there is a tumor in his body. They introduced themselves in this way.

"Allen Lombardo, lymphoma, stage 3, I'm glad to know you."

"Mickey Barnett, metastatic prostate cancer, I'm glad to see you."

"Adam Lerner, Xuwang's neurofibrosarcoma."

"Oh, terrible. The more complicated the name, the more troublesome the condition will be." This is their response.

The smile returned to Adam's face again. He tried big/hemp biscuits for the first time in his life, and the whole world became wonderful; but when it was late at night, vomiting began to invade, his hair began to fall off gradually, and cancer began to become real.

"Will he die?" Hope's choked voice came to his ears. Tessa suddenly came to her senses. She turned her head and tears hanging from her eyelashes slid down. She wiped away the warmth from her cheeks in a mess, but the smile at the corner of her mouth unconsciously, "It will be fine, everything will be fine."

Smile and tears coexist at the same time; crying and laughing, mixed joys and sorrows. Such an incredible thing really exists at this time. Especially when watching Catherine clumsyly slap Adam's arm and trying to relieve Adam's anger through physical contact, Adam described it as a "sea otter". Adam's disgusting expression and Catherine's disbelief expression were all clapping and laughing together, and it was the kind of continuous one.

Then the audience saw the most incredible scene: Adam was about to shave his hair.

Tessa couldn't help but start curling up on the chair, leaning her knees and chest together, covering her eyes with her hands, "Oh, God! Oh, God! The young master won't do this, the young master won't do this!" Tessa's reaction was exactly the same as Taylor in the movie, not just her, but the fuss in the entire screening room were endless.

Even Jennifer Lawrence, Paul Walker and others couldn't help but exclaim, "No, no, no!"

This should be the most lively moment in the scene after the movie began. There is no such plot in the trailer, no such scene in the poster, and no such reminder in the early publicity. So the audience was in a frenzy. At this moment, the number of people calling for Jesus and God rose sharply. Then, with Adam's straight-down shaving action, the audience was boiling, and strange screams came one after another.

Not to mention the audience, even the reporters looked surprised: When did this happen? Why did they have no news? Why hasn't anyone ever photographed Renli's bald head always? Why didn't paparazzi catch such explosive news? Why are they looking at the big screen like fools at this moment?

Wait, Lan Li missed the Oscar at the beginning of the year. Was it just to shoot this scene? This... This is simply a big ridiculous thing! If not, it must not be!

When Adam finished kicking the bald head, he and Kyle were having a quarrel, and the laughter and screams at the scene could not stop. Tessa couldn't believe her eyes, and looked again and again, but her smile still couldn't calm down. When she turned her head, her eyes fell on Hope's eyes, and the two of them burst into laughter again.

Bald Renley?

This feels indescribable.

"But, I think the young master is still handsome. You think, am I blind?" Tessa looked at Hope with confusion, but the smile in her eyes could not be hidden at all.

Hope also said seriously, "I agree with you. The bald young master is so charming. What should I do? I seem to fall in love with him. Shouldn't this be. Shouldn't I fall in love with Jacob? Love is crazy."

Then the two girls burst into laughter, like a marmot,

But laughter was only a moment, and soon Adam's life ushered in earth-shaking changes, or rather, the change had already begun, but it was not until now that it hit Adam hard.

Kyle has been using Adam's cancer to pick up girls, and achieved his goal by winning the sympathy of other women; Rachel is getting busier and more and more, and the part of her life with Adam seems to be getting less and less.

At an art exhibition, while Kyle was dating, he saw Rachel flirting with another big bearded boy, and the two kissed each other sweetly and passionately.

This is bloody, but it is also very lifelike.
