"What does it have to do with you?" Blake Morgan was the first to reply.
"Grandpa is right. What does it have to do with you?" Alice also replied in the group.
Seeing their responses, Mason Morgan was speechless and could only send a series of question marks in the group to express his astonishment.
"Dad, although you have the final say in Alice's matters, and I trust your judgment, I should at least know what kind of man my daughter is going to marry, right? I'll find time to go over and take a look after a while. There are too many things going on here in Metropolis City at the moment. @Blake Morgan," after a long time, Mason Morgan sent another lengthy message.
"Do as you wish. It's not like you can change anything anyway," Blake Morgan said rather domineeringly.
"Dad, you're overthinking. It's only just beginning now!" Alice was obviously a bit exasperated too.
After replying, Alice put down her phone.
"Why aren't you eating yet?" At this moment, Joseph also came out from the kitchen. He placed the last dish on the table.
"Ah? I was waiting for you! I thought about it and felt it wasn't quite right to start eating alone," Alice was slightly stunned, then answered.
"Try it. No need to be so formal," Joseph picked up a piece of cheese steak for Alice, making her feel a sense of bliss.
"Thank you," Alice expressed her gratitude, then took a bite.
However, after just one bite, her expression changed, and she instantly froze.
"Um, how is it? Not tasty?" Joseph noticed Alice's unusual expression and asked.
However, Alice didn't answer. Instead, she picked up two more pieces and started eating.
"If it's not tasty, don't force yourself. Try something else?" Joseph blinked and suggested.
"Joseph, what are you saying? What do you mean by not tasty? It's too delicious! How can it be so delicious? This is the most delicious cheese steak I've ever eaten. It's simply too good."
"I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to eat first. It's too delicious," Alice couldn't wait to start eating. She was already a bit hungry, and with such delicacies in front of her, she found it even harder to control herself.
"This is delicious!"
"Oh, this is delicious too."
"This one, this one, even more delicious."
"Wow, this is the most delicious. It's too good."
As she ate, Alice kept praising Joseph endlessly.
Hearing this, Joseph felt a bit unreal. Was it really that delicious?
"Isn't this just an ordinary home-cooked meal? Is it really that delicious?" Joseph smiled awkwardly. Was this girl just teasing him?
"Joseph, you're being too humble. Whew, even the top chefs in my family can't make dishes as delicious as yours."
"Joseph, be more confident. You're really amazing and awesome," Alice continued to praise him while not stopping her hands from eating.
Joseph smiled and started eating too.
Alice ate more dishes, while Joseph ate more rice. Since childhood, Joseph had always had a huge appetite.
After about an hour, Alice was finally full. Although Joseph had a large appetite, he was already full at this point.
"If it's not enough, I can make more for you," Joseph noticed Alice's lingering desire for more.
"Ah? No, no. I can't eat anymore. Really can't eat anymore," Alice quickly responded.
She seemed to have been eating a bit like a wolf just now, not very ladylike. Would Joseph dislike her?
Thinking about this, Alice felt a bit uneasy.
"That's good then," Joseph smiled.
"Joseph, I don't usually eat so unladylike. Do you prefer gentler girls?" Alice asked tentatively.
"You just need to be the way you like. It doesn't matter what kind of girls I like," Joseph chuckled.
"How can that be? That's too casual," Alice shook her head.
"Then let me put it another way. I like all your ways," Joseph said with a smile.
"Ah? Are you serious?" When Joseph said this, Alice's pretty face instantly turned red. She turned around and fled back to her room.
Joseph watched Alice's departing figure and just laughed. She was already eighteen years old, yet still like a child.
After Alice left, Joseph began to clean up.
Back in her room, it took a long time for Alice's burning heart to cool down.
"So, Joseph likes me too. Does that mean we have mutual feelings?" Alice lay on the bed, hugging her big plush doll, talking to herself.
Suddenly, she thought of something, grabbed her phone, dialed Blake Morgan's number, and called.
Before long, the call was answered.
"Hello, Alice. How is it going? Have you arranged everything?" Blake Morgan's voice came from the other end of the line.
"Of course. It's not a difficult task. I've settled Joseph in," Alice replied.
"So, what's the matter? Calling grandpa so late?" Blake Morgan asked again.
"There's nothing in particular. I just wanted to tell you that Joseph's cooking skills are really good, much better than those top chefs in our family," Alice couldn't stop praising Joseph's culinary skills.
"Hahaha... Is that so? Now I want to taste it even more."
"However, I can't fully trust your opinion on it being delicious because, in the eyes of someone you love, even their flaws are virtues," Blake Morgan couldn't help but tease.
"What do you mean by 'someone you love'? My relationship with Joseph is not certain yet!" Alice said this, but her heart was happy.
"I remember three years ago, when Joseph married into the Cooper family, someone in our family hid and cried for a day and night, with swollen eyes."
"She even said Joseph Wilson had promised to marry her and that Joseph wasn't a man of his word," Blake Morgan teased again.
"Grandpa, you... Always teasing people. I won't talk to you anymore," Alice's pretty face turned slightly red, unable to keep a straight face. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Blake Morgan, she hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Alice opened F******k and found that her update had exploded with 99 comments.
Moreover, when she opened it, she saw that all 99 comments on the update were from the food photos she had just posted, mostly from boys.
"Alice, who is this man? He's not your boyfriend, is he?"
"Alice, are you in a relationship? Which family's young master is this?"
"Joseph? Who is Joseph?"
"Fuck, if he becomes your boyfriend, I'll kill him..."
"Hehe... Don't let me see this guy in Nova City. Every time I see him, I'll beat him up twice..."
Alice read the comments for a while. They were all a mess.

“I’ve reviewed the patient’s file in broad strokes and have a solid grasp of her condition,” Joseph replied at once.“Then let’s have Peggy’s attending, Dr. Forrest, outline the essentials for everyone—good for a quick recap,” Director Lorraine said, turning to Forrest.Forrest rose.“By this morning, we had broadly reached a consensus on the treatment plan,” he began. “There’s an intra-articular fracture combined with a dislocation, and the fracture line and the dislocation aren’t aligned—which markedly increases the difficulty of surgery.”“We proposed a single theoretically viable approach: preoperative intra-articular reduction.”“But achieving an intra-articular reduction by manipulation alone is extraordinarily difficult, especially with a concurrent fracture—the injured area can’t tolerate force. Practically speaking, manual reduction is almost out of the question.”“In sum, the rational choice is conservative treatment. Forcing a surgical reduction would almost certainly leave

“Professor Wilson, it seems everyone has great confidence in your skill,” Forrest remarked, moved. “I’ve always felt that the happiest moment for a physician is when patients acknowledge your work. To ease their suffering and earn their trust—that’s the highest praise a doctor can receive.”“I’m only doing what I can,” Joseph replied with humility.Before long, the three of them took the elevator to the seventh floor and headed for the conference room. By then, the consulting specialists had begun to arrive one after another.“Professor Wilson, a pleasure indeed. You’re even younger than you appear on your streams,” said a man in a white coat with graying hair as he approached. He looked to be in his fifties—vital, robust, still in his prime.“This is Dr. Lorraine, our head of Orthopedics at Nova First Hospital—Director Lorraine, a seasoned expert in the field,” Forrest said quickly, making introductions.“An honor, Director Lorraine,” Joseph said, offering his hand.“Never thought I’

“I’m not entirely sure, but if anyone can bring your idea to life, it has to be Professor Wilson,” Charles Martin said with a wry smile.At this point, he had to admit Joseph far outstripped him.“I can only say I’ll try. I still need to assess the patient’s overall condition. I just met her, and now I’d like to review the chart, diagnostic results, and imaging.”Joseph’s tone was cautious.“That’s no problem. As Peggy’s attending, I’m familiar with her case in detail.”“Let me walk you through it.”“Here are the scans. Take a look. And these are the diagnostic summaries.”“Professor Wilson, if you feel it’s not enough, I can convene our hospital’s specialists for another round of consultation and discussion.”“You’re more than welcome to join.”Forrest spoke with unfeigned enthusiasm.“If we can discuss it together, all the better,” Joseph replied with a smile.“Then it’s settled. I’ll call in the specialists now and we’ll hold a joint consult.”Forrest was a man of action.“Dr. Forr

“So yes—it’s a fanciful idea. Theoretically sound, but practically next to impossible,” Joseph said with a nod.“And you still want to wade into it?” Mason Alvarez countered.“I’ll take a look and do what I can,” Joseph replied.“All right. If you need help, say the word,” Mason murmured, then lay back with her head pillowed on Joseph’s thigh, perfectly at ease. She peeled another grape and offered it to him. He felt a touch awkward, but in the end he didn’t refuse her.Time slipped by, and when Joseph saw it was nearly time, he headed out.By the time he pulled up at Nova First Hospital, Heidi and Fiona had not yet arrived. He was about to wait in the car when Fiona’s vehicle turned in.“Brother-in-law, you’re fast,” Heidi said as she hopped out, instinctively looping her arm through his. Fiona was used to it; Heidi had always been unusually close to Joseph, though Fiona had never understood why.“Mr. Wilson, my apologies,” Fiona said as she approached. “Traffic was heavy. I hope you

“I don’t have a quarrel with the patient,” Joseph said with a faint smile. “Your cousin is a victim, isn’t she?”Charles Martin fell silent. In that instant, he felt small for having asked what he did.“You’re right,” he said at last. “In vision and breadth, I’m not your equal. You’re the better physician. You truly honor what it means to be a doctor.”“Let’s skip the niceties,” Joseph replied. “Tell me about the girl’s condition. Until I understand it, I can’t gauge my chances.”“There’s both fracture and dislocation within the joint,” Charles said gravely. “But the dislocation isn’t at the fracture site. The break itself hasn’t shifted; other structures within the joint have. If we force surgery now, she’ll be left with a permanent disability.”“Do you have the films? I’d like to see them,” Joseph asked.“I do. I’ll send them to you on Facebook—I took photos,” Charles said quickly.“Send them there,” Joseph replied, and they ended the call.A friend request came through almost immed

“What is it?” Charles Martin asked.“Since the girl is involved in a criminal case, our hospital has to cooperate with the police,” the attending physician said, precise and formal. “We’ve already submitted a written report on her condition to the department. I wanted you to be aware, to avoid any misunderstanding.”“I understand. That’s reasonable,” Charles replied with a nod. “As for treatment, I need time to consider. Once I’ve decided, I’ll let you know.”After a brief exchange, Charles left the office.Not long after, he received word that Peggy had been moved out of the ICU. When he reached her room, she was still unconscious. According to the nurse on duty, she wouldn’t be waking soon—her body was too weak.Charles sat quietly by the bed. With nothing else to do, he turned the treatment options over and over in his mind.Nova City, the Cooper family residence.Fiona hadn’t gone to work that day; Heidi was home as well. Fiona was on the phone in the living room.“Thank you, Capt
