The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 110: Your Little Lover, Joseph
Suddenly, her phone buzzed with a series of notifications. The sound of her group chat exploding with activity jolted her out of her thoughts."Alice, get out here! @Alice""You sneaky little minx, what else are you hiding from us? @Alice""Your lover’s in big trouble! @Alice"Her roommates had flooded the group chat with dozens of messages, all of them tagging her.“What are you guys talking about? Why are you all tagging me? What’s this about my ‘lover’ being in trouble? What happened?” Alice typed back, utterly confused as she scrolled through the avalanche of messages.“Just to confirm, Alice, is the Joseph Wilson who started at the medical school today *your* little lover, Joseph?” Rebecca, one of Alice’s roommates, was the first to speak.“Huh? Yeah, it’s the same person. Why?” Alice replied, a little puzzled.“Wow, girl, you’re something else. Managed to bag a professor? You’ve been hiding your talents well,” Faith teased with a tone of admiration.“They’ve known each other for

Alice’s heart warmed at his thoughtfulness. “You didn’t have to go through so much trouble. If you’re not home, I can just eat out.”“It’s no trouble at all,” Joseph said, waving her concern away. He finished his breakfast quickly and stood up. “Alright, I’m off.”“Drive safe,” Alice said, watching him as he rushed to leave.Joseph nodded, grabbed the breakfast he had prepared for Heidi, and headed out the door. Once he got into the car, he paused to send her a quick message on Facebook.“There’s an urgent matter at the university, so I’m heading there now. I left your breakfast in the car. Let me know when you get to campus.”He waited for a moment, but there was no reply. Heidi was probably still asleep.As he put his phone down, he noticed that his friend request list on Facebook had grown by another two hundred requests overnight, bringing the total to over five hundred. He had been too busy to deal with them yesterday, and it seemed he didn’t have time today either.“Where are al

The door opened, and a clear, confident voice rang out. "Mr. Harris, Professor Sanchez, esteemed colleagues—what’s everyone doing here so early in the morning?"The speaker strolled into the room, and the moment Charles Martin saw him, his face drained of color. His reaction was immediate and visceral."F-Fuck! Joseph!" Martin cried out, his voice trembling. He recoiled as though he’d seen a ghost, toppling out of his chair in a panic and landing in a disheveled heap on the floor."Professor Martin, what’s the matter? Why are you so agitated?""Professor Martin, please be careful—you’re already injured as it is!""There’s no need to be this excited just because you saw Professor Wilson.""…"The group hurried to calm Charles Martin down."Wait a minute," Martin said, his expression a mix of horror and disbelief as he was helped back onto his feet. "Are you telling me that the highly skilled expert you were talking about is… Joseph?""Professor Martin, what’s with the grand reaction? G

"Mr. Harris, Professor Sanchez," Martin turned to them with a despairing look, "are you absolutely sure he can fix my hand?""Of course he can!" Sanchez declared with unwavering confidence. "I stake Mr. Harris’s reputation and integrity on it. Professor Wilson is undoubtedly one of the few people in our department capable of resolving your condition.""Why are you staking my reputation and integrity?" Harris shot Sanchez a look of disdain. "What’s wrong with using your own?""Your reputation and integrity hold more weight," Sanchez replied sheepishly, patting Harris on the shoulder with an awkward smile."Aaaghhh!" Another scream burst from Martin’s lips, his face contorted in pain."Joseph, you’re doing this on purpose!" he roared."Professor Martin," Joseph replied with a calm yet slightly exasperated tone, "I’ve told you repeatedly to stay quiet and cooperate. Do you want your hand treated or not? If not, I’m more than happy to leave it as is. It’s not like I have anything to lose.

"Professor Martin, this is a rare opportunity for our students and faculty alike," Geoffrey Harris said, his tone gentle yet firm, as if explaining something to a stubborn child. "If we miss this chance, we may not encounter such a perfect case again.""Exactly. It’s just a bit of pain—grit your teeth, and it’ll be over in no time," Leonard Sanchez added, nodding enthusiastically."Professor Martin," Joseph said with a kind smile, patting Martin’s shoulder as though offering encouragement. "Thank you for your selfless contribution to the advancement of education and medicine."Then, as if remembering something, he added, "Oh, by the way, I seem to recall hearing you mention earlier that as long as your hand could be fixed, money wouldn’t be an issue?""Did I say that?" Martin’s eyes darted nervously, feigning forgetfulness. He was all too aware of Joseph’s crafty nature and had no idea what outrageous request might follow if he admitted it."You did. Absolutely," another professor qui
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 115: Grudges
"Professor Sanchez makes a fair point," Harris said with a chuckle, "but perhaps not entirely.""Mr. Harris, it seems you’ve noticed as well," Joseph said with a faint smile. "There’s definitely some personal grudge at play here. If he hadn’t provoked me, why would I go out of my way to provoke him?"He leaned back slightly, his tone casual but revealing. "The truth is, he’s one of my ex-wife’s admirers. Even though I’ve already divorced her, he still targets me in secret. Honestly, I can’t bring myself to treat someone like him with a friendly smile."Joseph paused, then added matter-of-factly, "And besides, $30,000 isn’t expensive—it’s a fair price."As the three of them talked, they entered Geoffrey Harris’s office. Harris poured them each a glass of water before sitting down."So, there’s some backstory here," Harris said, nodding in understanding."I didn’t expect Professor Wilson to have already been married at such a young age," Sanchez remarked, clearly surprised. "I thought y

"The TCM department offices typically house six people each, but we’ve placed you in an office with Professor Brady Rogers. It’s a mixed office, with both TCM and modern medicine staff. Including you, there are currently four people: Professor Rogers, Professor Mason Alvarez, and Professor Alvarez’s mentor, Professor Felix Baker.""This office is a bit unique. Unlike the others, which are mostly older faculty, this one has a much younger average age. Considering that you, Rogers, and Alvarez are all relatively young, you’ll likely have more in common with them."Harris paused, studying Joseph’s expression. "Do you have any objections to this arrangement, Professor Wilson?""I’m perfectly fine with these arrangements. I have no objections," Joseph replied with a calm smile. "Good. I’ve already asked Professor Rogers to come over. He’ll take you to your new office and brief you on the setup. He should be here any moment," Geoffrey Harris said. Just as he finished speaking, Brady Roger

"I do have a morning class," Rogers said, glancing at his watch. "It’s almost eight now. I’d better get going. Nova University starts its morning classes at 8:10." After bidding Joseph farewell, Rogers left in a hurry. "Professor Wilson," Felix Baker said, turning to Joseph with a smile, "you and Professor Mason are the youngest faculty members in the medical school. I’m sure you’ll find plenty to talk about! It’s a pity she’s not here today, but once she’s back, I’ll make sure to introduce you two." "Thank you, Professor Baker," Joseph replied with a polite smile. "No need to thank me. We’re all colleagues here, and we look out for one another. If you ever need help, don’t hesitate to ask. This old man will do whatever he can to assist," Baker said with a hearty laugh. Joseph thanked him again before tidying up his new desk. Once things were in order, he decided to head out to buy some office supplies. As he stepped outside, his phone buzzed. A notification from Alice had come

“Oh, my, Professor Wilson, your dedication is truly admirable! If Martin knew how much you cared, he’d probably be moved to tears,” Baker remarked, genuinely impressed.“You flatter me. As the saying goes, ‘No distinction in teaching, boundless compassion.’ As educators, we should care not only for our students but also for our colleagues. Knowing that he’s in pain makes me deeply uncomfortable. Late at night, I—” Joseph paused, seemingly searching for the right words.“Late at night, you… what? Cried under your blanket?” Baker interjected, half-joking.“Yes, exactly. I cried my heart out every night, thinking about his suffering,” Joseph replied with a straight face, playing along. There was no way he’d admit he’d been laughing under the covers at Martin’s predicament.“Professor Wilson, your compassion knows no bounds!” Baker exclaimed.“You’re too kind, Professor Baker. As I said, ‘No distinction in teaching.’” Joseph smiled politely.“Oh, right—I’m not sure of Charles Martin’s exa

Two hours passed—neither too long nor too short—and Joseph finally completed the diagnoses for all the students. As expected, he was surrounded by a throng of students after class, answering questions for over half an hour before he could free himself. Fortunately, he had no other classes scheduled for the day; otherwise, he would surely have fallen behind.Leaving the classroom, Joseph made his way toward his office. The intense two-hour session had left him mentally drained, and his head felt slightly heavy. Stepping out of the elevator, he rubbed his temples in an attempt to ease the tension.But just as he rounded the corner— "Ah!" A sharp, high-pitched scream pierced the air. Joseph collided with a woman carrying a cup of water. The unexpected impact caused the entire contents of the cup to spill onto her chest, soaking a large portion of her blouse."Excuse me! Do you even watch where you’re going?!" the woman exclaimed, her voice carrying a mix of irritation and elegance.

"Ha ha ha! Bro, we’re all men here—we get it." "Professor Wilson is too sharp. No need to explain, my friend. We all understand!" "Yeah, yeah, don’t pretend. The professor already knows!" The classroom erupted into hearty laughter again. The young man could only scratch his head awkwardly, his face flushed with embarrassment."Your eyes are sunken, your lips are pale. If you keep this up, your body is going to collapse—and you might be risking your life," Joseph suddenly shifted his tone, his gaze turning serious."Have you ever… fainted during masturbation?" he asked bluntly.The question hit the student like a thunderbolt. He froze, his face a mix of shock and disbelief. "Professor Wilson, you mean… this could actually kill me?""It usually doesn’t lead to death," Joseph replied, his tone calm but piercing, "but there are times when it might feel worse than death.""Picture this: years from now, you’re successful in your career and married to a beautiful wife. But when the time c

The students’ chatter grew louder as their admiration for Joseph reached new heights.Joseph, however, seemed oblivious to the commotion. As he carefully completed the prescription, he handed it to the student and said, "In addition to taking this formula as directed, you’ll also need to change a few bad habits.""Professor Wilson, what habits? Tell me, and I’ll change them immediately!" the student replied earnestly, his tone filled with unwavering respect."You don’t eat much meat, do you?" Joseph asked, his tone deliberate and pointed."Professor Wilson, you can tell even that? How did you figure it out?" The thin young man stared at Joseph in shock, his face full of disbelief.The surrounding students were equally stunned. How could Joseph deduce someone’s dietary habits just by observing them? They exchanged curious glances, their admiration for him growing by the second."And if I’m not mistaken," Joseph continued, maintaining his air of mystery, "this morning, you had vegetable

"Actually, I didn’t plan on giving a formal lecture today.""For our first session in the Acupuncture and Tuina class for Groups Five and Six, I intend to diagnose every one of you."Joseph’s gaze swept across the classroom as he continued, "In my opinion, everyone here is sick."His words landed like a thunderclap, leaving the students visibly stunned. What did he just say? "Everyone here is sick"? Wasn’t that essentially an insult?"Of course, saying you’re sick isn’t meant as an insult," Joseph clarified with a faint smile."What I mean is that traditional Chinese medicine is a discipline that emphasizes systemic, preventive, and curative approaches.""By systemic, I mean that learning TCM isn’t about mastering one isolated subject. The various branches of TCM are interconnected, forming a comprehensive system. Preventive means TCM can help maintain the body’s balance and prevent illnesses before they occur. As for curative, it’s self-explanatory—TCM seeks not only to treat symptom

"Joseph, I’m so silly. I forgot… I’m still on my period. Ugh… I’m sorry, Joseph!"Reading the message, Joseph exhaled a deep breath. Oddly enough, he felt a wave of relief wash over him."Don’t worry about it. Get some rest. There are some things that shouldn’t happen just yet…" Joseph replied.Alice quickly responded."I know you’re thinking about what’s best for me, but knowing you’re holding back feels even harder for me."Joseph stared at her reply for a moment before responding calmly: "It’s fine. Just rest early. Tomorrow morning, we can go for a run together."Alice sent back another message almost instantly."Okay. I’ll read for a bit and work on some assignments, then go to bed. You should rest early too!"This time, it was a voice message. Joseph listened to it, smiled faintly, and replied with a simple "Good." After that, he didn’t continue the conversation.Sunday passed quietly. Neither Joseph nor Alice went anywhere; they stayed home and enjoyed a peaceful day of rest. I

"Ahem, nothing… I wasn’t looking at anything!" Joseph cleared his throat, coughing awkwardly. He forced himself to look away and picked up the glass of water on the table, taking a sip to calm himself."Pfft!"Alice couldn’t help but laugh at Joseph’s flustered expression."What’s so funny?" Joseph asked, clearly uncomfortable."Nothing!" Alice replied, her lips curling into a sly smile."Joseph, my hair’s a bit long. Could you help me dry it?" Alice ran her fingers through her damp hair, making her request with a hint of expectation in her tone."That’s not a big deal. I’m not busy with anything," Joseph replied. He got up, grabbed the hairdryer, and plugged it in. Standing behind Alice, he began drying her hair.However, as he stood behind her, his vantage point made it easier for him to see her cleavage and the soft, creamy curves of her chest.Joseph’s heart raced even faster, and he found it increasingly difficult to stay composed. He had to force himself to look elsewhere, avoid

"I attended your lecture the other day and created a workout plan for arm strength based on it. I’ve been following the plan for the past few days." "Mr. Wilson, I’ve attached a photo of the plan. Could you take a look and give me some feedback?" Shortly after, another message arrived: "By the way, you don’t need to return the acupuncture needles. My family has plenty of them. My grandfather loves traditional Chinese medicine and has a large collection. The ones I lent you are just a basic set." The next message was a voice recording, spoken in a pleasant and melodic female voice. Hearing the voice, Joseph immediately remembered—wasn’t this the student who had lent him the acupuncture needles during his substitute lecture? Her name was Lindsay Anderson. "Ah, so it’s Lindsay Anderson! I didn’t add a note when you friended me—sorry about that." "Why didn’t you reach out sooner after adding me?" Joseph replied politely. "I figured Mr. Wilson must be very busy, so I didn’t want t

"Good." Relieved, Alice let out a small sigh, then shyly hooked her arm through Joseph’s, her head still lowered. "Oh, and I also asked your grandpa about my connection to the Cooper family, but he didn’t know much. If nothing unexpected happens, I’ll visit the Cooper family next weekend to fulfill a promise I made to my master." Joseph explained as they walked. "A promise your master made?" Alice’s curiosity was piqued. "Yes. Old Mr. Cooper is still in a coma. According to the agreement between him and my master, I’m supposed to wake him when the time is right." "And now, that time has come." Joseph said with a calm resolve. "But the Cooper family holds such a grudge against you. Will they even let you near the old man?" Alice asked with a trace of concern. "I have my ways." Joseph replied with a faint smile. "If it really doesn’t work out, just let me know. I have my ways too. Most of the Cooper family’s lifelines are in our hands." "Grandpa told me once that threats a
