Medical Center.

Orthopedic ward.

"……how so?"

The young lieutenant was dumbfounded: "My commander told me that Major Hunter is a very powerful tough guy, how could he..."

"A good swimmer drowns in water."

Adam pointed to George and said, "If you don't believe it, look at his neck. It was pinched by Dr. Hunter who had PTSD attacks. If it was not stopped in time, the consequences would be unimaginable."

The young lieutenant immediately looked at George.

Under Adam's gaze, George could only raise his neck and reveal severe bruises.

"By the way, Dr. Hunter has never said he has PTSD."

Adam reminded.

"I'm different from him."

The young lieutenant was silent for a while, and his eyes were firm again: "I will devote my life to the battlefield."

"Soldiers who need under-knee amputations on the battlefield?"

Adam said in surprise.

“There are many like this.”

The young lieutenant said confidently: "The battlefield is our home, and the comrades are our family."

"Do you have no family?"

Adam asked, “I mean real family.”

"……I have."

The young lieutenant said, "Can you understand that although there are family members, they cannot understand you? They don't understand or even like you?"

"I can."

George couldn't help but answer, "I have a few brothers like this."

"So too."

The young lieutenant glanced at George: "The brothers who grew up with me have no common language with me, and my brothers on the battlefield are my real family.

No matter where we are trapped, we live and die together.

But here, I can only be alone.

I have tried to integrate into the life here, live the life of ordinary people, and try to find a job.

But I can't find it.

I have countless dreams and many things to do in my life, but I don’t have them here.”

"what you up to?"

Adam asked, "What can't be done here, what can be done on the battlefield, besides killing people, say one!"

“…”

The young lieutenant: "We are not killing people...at least we are not killing people for the sake of killing people, we are fighting for the country!"

"What about fighting for the country?"

Adam asked: "Didn't you say you have countless dreams? Are there many things to do? And what about? Major things in life are just career and love.

Career is what is called fighting for the country, so many other things that are left must also be related to love?

You can't do it here, but you can do it on the battlefield?

Why?"

"no."

The young lieutenant was speechless: "It's not love."

"What is that?"

Adam asked, "It's not that you said that there are countless dreams on the battlefield that want to be realized. It's just an exaggerated sentence. In fact, there is only one 'fight for the country', right?"

“…Isn’t this enough?”

The young lieutenant said reluctantly.

"If the cause of the injury on your leg cannot be found, even if it is an amputation, it cannot be guaranteed to be cured."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Kelly quickly answered.

"But it's possible!"

The young lieutenant interrupted.

“Prosthetics and real legs are different.”

Kelly continued to persuade: "It's only a five-pound metal that still hurts, and what if you have amputated your limbs, the army doesn't want you?"

“No.”

The young lieutenant shook his head.

"You mean there is no possibility of this?"

Kelly interrupted: "Would you take the risk for this? You are asking to cut off your legs for you!"

"Do you think I don't know?"

The young lieutenant said irritably: "Do you think I must cut off my legs? No! I am in hell now, don't waste time to scare me, you can't scare me!

After so much suffering, I am fearless!

I'll ask, can you do my surgery?"

Kelly couldn't help looking at Adam.

"Sorry, we won't cut off your healthy legs just because you want to."

Adam shook his head: "If you are sure you don't receive further examinations from us, you can be discharged from the hospital, go to other hospitals, or go directly to the hospital directly under the army. I believe there will be enough help there."

After saying that, he left.

He is not used to the other person.

This lieutenant is only 19 years old. Every year to 21 in the American TV series world, he is not a complete adult and cannot even drink wine.

Now I feel like sawing my legs off when I feel impulse.

What if you regret it later?

That's a mess.

In fact, if he wasn't afraid of trouble, he would be willing to help the other party.

Emmm.

There is no other meaning, it is purely psychological research, to see if the other party will regret it in the future.

Very professional.

Pure academic.

That's it.

"Dr. Duncan!"

The young lieutenant shouted Adam with sincere and excited expressions, like the male protagonist in the hot-blooded comics of the island country, with his expression before he started his mouth.

"I know you're doing your job."

This is not the first time he has been rejected. Normal doctors in normal hospitals are unwilling to help him harm himself. He has run enough and can only suppress his irritability and want to impress Adam and the others with emotions.

“Your job is to reunite people safely, not to break them apart, I understand.

I also understand that even if I go back, it will only hurt others and it will have no meaning to you..."

"very good."

Adam nodded and left.

“…”

The young lieutenant looked at Adam who had walked out, and after a stagnation, he shouted again: "Doctor Duncan!!!"

"Is there anything else?"

Adam could only turn around and continue to look at him: "Didn't you say you can understand? You also know that when you go back, you will only hurt others. This behavior does not mean anything to us."

"We are indeed hurting others, but we are also protecting more people."

The young lieutenant was very annoyed by Adam's failure to follow his routine: "If someone told you that you cannot practice medicine, wouldn't you do everything possible to become a doctor again?"

“That’s different.”
