The atmosphere was quite awkward.
Especially for Zhou Mo Sen.
Is the person in my arms his daughter?
This...
Suddenly, I recalled scenes from youth pain literature.
I was talking with this girl, Miss Daddario, and we were getting along well.
We planned to be sweethearts exploring forbidden fruit for the first time.
Just as we were undressing, we never expected to be caught by her dad!
Damn, the sense of immersion is too strong!
Miss Alexandra was also extremely embarrassed.
But she had to face this situation.
However, she did not hurry to leave Dr. Zhou's embrace.
Probably because it was too awkward, she was too shy.
But she couldn't help but peek out, turning to look at her father.
Then she looked at Zhou Mo Sen.
Zhou Mo Sen looked at her, said nothing, but the meaning in his eyes was clear.
Is he your father?
The girl, like a little kitten, gently nodded.
Confirmed.
"Let go of my daughter!"
How could Richard Daddario not be angry?
He had noticed something was off with his daughter earlier, but he's a prosecutor in New York.
Indeed, it's inconvenient to always keep an eye on his daughter.
In fact, the Daddario Clan is not ordinary.
His daughter developing in Hollywood seemed quite safe to Richard.
Therefore, he asked his daughter's friends for help.
Finally, recently he discovered the problem.
Richard flew over from New York as fast as possible.
Secretly following.
He indeed found the Monroe Clinic.
What teeth treatment, it's clearly plastic surgery!
Richard certainly knew what his daughter wanted to have done.
But how could she do it without their consent?
We are the guardians!
The daughter is a good daughter, our treasure.
Surely, this doctor is not good!
Especially looking at the scene in front of him, Richard's anger towards Zhou Mo Sen was
visible to the naked eye.
Zhou Mo Sen could feel it.
Since he's Daddario's father.
Then let go if needed.
But interestingly, Miss Daddario clung even tighter.
Zhou Mo Sen could only give an awkward smile.
Richard was even more furious seeing this.
"You unscrupulous doctor! Do you know what you've done?"
For Richard, the good doctor Zhou Mo Sen became 'unscrupulous' immediately?
However, unexpectedly, before Zhou Mo Sen could speak.
Miss Daddario stood up for him.
"Dr. Zhou is a good doctor! Dad, I won't allow you to say that!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mo Sen's expression was quite peculiar.
The lady was doing this for him.
But, wouldn't this make her own father even angrier?
Look at those eyes, they seem to be shooting fire.
Yet Zhou Mo Sen still made an interesting move.
"Celestine, Heidi, please leave and close the door."
The two nurses looked at each other, then had to leave.
With the door closed, only the three of them remained.
"Hello, Mr. Daddario, my name is Zhou Mo Sen, and I am Miss Daddario's plastic surgeon."
Zhou Mo Sen very formally extended his hand.
However, Richard ignored it.
Zhou Mo Sen could only scratch his head.
But once the door closed, Richard Daddario calmed down quite a bit.
He was a prosecutor.
Accustomed to solving problems with the law, not violence.
Moreover, his daughter was defending this doctor.
Perhaps there was more to the story.
However, shaking hands was out of the question.
Shaking hands implies reconciliation, right?
"Hello, I am Alexandra Daddario's father, Richard. I am a prosecutor from New York, and now I hope you can explain the situation to me."
The tone was very professional.
Obviously, he wanted to use his prosecutor's status to intimidate Zhou Mo Sen.
The subtext was: If you don't explain clearly, I'll sue you!
Zhou Mo Sen, of course, was not afraid.
"Mr. Daddario, as you can see, I am treating the patient."
Treating?
You really dare to say!
Fortunately, at this moment, Alexandra stepped forward.
Relatively speaking, the girl actually didn't want to face those two nurses.
Now there was only her father and her trusted doctor.
That wasn't a problem anymore.
Alexandra put on her T-shirt again and then said to her father, "Dad, you shouldn't be so unreasonable. Dr. Zhou is a very good doctor, and we're in treatment."
Taking sides with outsiders like this?
"Why not ask for my and your mom's opinions? And this doctor..."
Richard once again targeted Zhou Mo Sen.
"You haven't gotten the consent of us, the guardians. You're breaking the rules!"
Such a big accusation.
Yet, Alexandra quickly took the lead, "I can decide for myself! Besides, you definitely wouldn't agree!"
Indeed, the whole family discussed it.
Zhou Mo Sen was very calm, saying, "Alexandra told me she's already an adult. She can make money on her own, so she can make decisions."
In the United States, this law that says making money independently equals adulthood...
Now it really comes in handy.
Unfortunately, Richard is a prosecutor who specializes in law.
"But what about the psychological screening? California law has relevant stipulations."
Zhou Mo Sen had long anticipated he would say this and spread his hands, "We haven't performed surgery, so what screening are you referring to?"
Calm and fearless!
Richard was even more furious.
However, Zhou Mo Sen does have reason on his side.
The laws regarding cosmetic surgery in California are constantly being refined.
Later, when Schwarzenegger became governor, he even passed a mandatory examination act.
That means, before cosmetic surgery, there's not only psychological screening but also a physical exam required.
And at this moment.
Zhou Mo Sen indeed hasn't performed any surgery on Miss Daddario.
His therapy itself is 'extremely safe.'
However, Zhou Mo Sen didn't reveal the truth.
What he's thinking is if he reveals the truth about 'placebo therapy' now.
It might negatively affect this young Daddario.
The treatment would be interrupted.
She so desperately wants to grow up quickly.
Zhou Mo Sen decides to keep it secret for now.
Richard, however, is unaware of the truth, harboring nothing but anger, completely trying to suppress it now.
And the young Daddario has always sided with Zhou Mo Sen.
"Dad, stop causing trouble, you're also a gentleman after all."
"You child..."
"Dr. Zhou is really good."
"He... You come back with me!"
In this manner, Richard realized it's better to take his daughter back first.
But he left a harsh remark.
"See you in court!"
Richard, being a prosecutor, seems planning to handle Zhou Mo Sen on his home turf.
And Zhou Mo Sen's response was:
"No problem."
This guy knows how to annoy people.
Just these two men, a father and a doctor, going head-to-head.
Alexandra?
Being pulled away by her father, she looked back at Zhou Mo Sen.
Extremely beautiful, pitiably fragile.
...
Los Angeles.
Another father and daughter meet.
"Dad, actually, you already have a lot of money, right?"
"A lot of money? Idiot! Money is never enough!"
Alice was quite helpless. This time, she came specially intending to talk to her father.
And Old Howard's attitude was completely unyielding.
Previously, this guy was called out by the Health Management Association and scolded.
Thankfully, he has considerable connections.
Maintained his membership status.
That means, he can still sell blood donation slots in the future.
Alice really felt utterly hopeless about this.
Old Howard, however, continued saying, "Who am I doing this for? Don't forget! You might need a blood transfusion at any moment!"
Porphyria, drinking blood indeed means little.
However, blood transfusion is useful.
Blood transfusions can reduce the production of porphyrins.
When the body has too many porphyrins, it affects the liver.
In fact, this disease primarily manifests as liver problems.
But for Alice, her greatest pain was that her father sold blood donation qualifications.
Taking advantage of his position, allowing her easy access to blood.
This is as if she were truly sucking others' blood.
Unfortunately, Old Howard simply didn't understand his daughter's thoughts.
"Don't meddle in my affairs! You should be grateful to me for being alive!"
Saying this, he left without a care.
Leaving Alice behind, tears streaming down her face.
...
Old Howard still had to go to UCLA Medical Center.
To have a good chat with that guy Hansen.
But upon seeing Hansen, he found that there was another person by this professor's side.
"My old friend, let me introduce you. This is Richard Daddario, a well-known prosecutor from New York. He's here to consult on cosmetic matters."
"Hello, I'm Howard, a cosmetic doctor."
Old Howard didn't understand why Hansen introduced this prosecutor, so even his self-introduction was very brief.
But before long, Old Howard's eyes lit up.
