"That’s it?" Joseph probed."Well, there’s one more thing," Heidi said, her cheeks turning a soft shade of pink. "I usually get terrible cramps when my period starts. Last night, it came like clockwork after I went to bed, but this morning I realized—no pain at all. Honestly, it’s kind of amazing. Normally, I’d be tossing and turning all night, unable to sleep from the discomfort."She stole a shy glance at Joseph as she spoke, her face growing redder. Talking about something so personal with a man made her feel both embarrassed and oddly exhilarated. She had never shared such intimate details with anyone before, let alone a man."Give me your hand. Let me check your pulse," Joseph said calmly.Heidi obediently extended her left hand, resting it on the table. Joseph placed his fingers on her wrist, his expression serious as he felt for her pulse. Heidi couldn’t help but sneak a glance at him. In that moment, the way he focused so intently on his task gave him a magnetic quality. She f

"It’s just a title. Call me whatever you like. For the past three years, at the very least, you’ve been like family to me," Joseph said with a nod."Really?" Heidi’s eyes glistened with sudden emotion, her voice trembling slightly."Of course. Why would I lie about something like this? You asked me this once before, and my answer hasn’t changed. It never will. Now, why are you crying? You’re already eighteen—an adult! In a couple of years, you’ll probably be married, so why get all teary-eyed over this?" Joseph teased gently, handing her a tissue when he noticed her misty eyes."It’s your fault for always saying such sentimental things! You know how easily I cry," Heidi sniffled as she wiped her tears, her tone defiant yet tinged with joy. "And who says I’m getting married? I’m not leaving—I’m staying with you, brother-in-law, no matter what!""Stay with me if you like. As long as it makes you happy," Joseph said with a resigned smile."Hehe… brother-in-law, I’ve realized something—yo

"That’s true, but his injury wasn’t nearly as severe as something requiring surgery—at least, not from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine. It just needed manual realignment. The procedure is highly technical but doesn’t take much time—just a few minutes, really," Joseph said with a faint smile."Wait, you made thirty grand in just a few minutes? That’s insane!" Heidi’s opinion of the situation shifted instantly."If it weren’t for the ‘special circumstances’ surrounding the injury, thirty thousand would hardly be enough. My consultation fees are notoriously high, and even with money, it’s not guaranteed I’d take the case," Joseph said, a hint of pride in his voice."Brother-in-law, you’ve got to teach me how to treat patients someday," Heidi said with a mix of admiration and envy."You’re not exactly short on money. Even though the Cooper family doesn’t give you a huge allowance, you’ve probably saved up quite a bit over the years," Joseph said knowingly.Hearing this, He

Seeing the commotion, Joseph could only gesture for everyone to quiet down."Everyone, if you genuinely have academic questions you’d like to ask, feel free to add my contact information. I’ll approve your requests when I have the time.""But as for those inviting me out to dinner or saying things like ‘my parents aren’t home, why don’t you come over and play games with me’—" Joseph’s voice rose slightly as he continued, "I’m afraid I can’t entertain those requests. I’m very busy.""Fuck, who’s so shameless? ‘My parents aren’t home’? Inviting the professor over to play games? Seriously?""If you’re not here to study, don’t bother adding Professor Wilson. What’s wrong with you people?""Exactly! Girls, can’t you show a little restraint?"Amid the crowd, voices of complaints and indignation rose."Ugh, shut up, you boring straight men. What’s it to you if we invite Professor Wilson over?""Yeah, it’s not that you’re upset we’re being bold—it’s that we’re not being bold with you!""Exact

"I heard Professor Wilson is going to demonstrate a high-difficulty bone realignment technique today. It’s a rare chance to see such a procedure in action, so even grad students from the medical school have come to watch.""Professor Wilson is incredible. His classes are so popular!""Of course they are! I’ve been saying it all along—having Professor Wilson teach Orthopedic Surgery is the best thing that’s ever happened to us."The students buzzed with excitement, their voices filled with admiration and anticipation."Good morning, esteemed professors and fellow students," Joseph began as he stepped onto the podium. His calm, confident demeanor immediately captured the room’s attention. "Many of you attended yesterday’s lecture, so you should already be familiar with me. For those who aren’t, allow me to introduce myself again." He paused, scanning the room with a faint smile. His poised, charismatic presence made it clear he was ready to deliver a memorable lesson."Mr. Wilson, let’

Meanwhile, another round of applause erupted in the classroom. Joseph had just finished questioning over a dozen students and proceeded to offer a detailed analysis of Charles Martin’s injuries.Time flew by amidst the engaging lecture. The students, engrossed in Joseph’s explanations, were surprised when the bell rang, signaling the end of class."Class is over already? That felt so fast!""Mr. Wilson’s lectures are always so captivating. No wonder time flew by.""Every time I attend his class, I feel like I’m opening the door to a whole new world.""At least this semester, we’ll get to attend his lectures regularly!"The students chattered excitedly, their praise for Joseph ringing through the room.But Charles Martin, sitting off to the side, was far less enthusiastic. After enduring an entire class of Joseph’s antics, he finally couldn’t hold back any longer."What’s with this nonsense? You spent most of the class asking students questions, then went on about theory for another tw

“Ventilation, huh? Is that really the reason?” Heidi asked with a knowing smirk.Joseph cleared his throat, trying to change the subject. “Heidi, you’re not even a medical student. Could you even understand my lecture?”“Of course not! I didn’t come here to learn,” she replied matter-of-factly.“Then why are you here?” Joseph asked, taking a sip of water to mask his discomfort.“Obviously, I came to see *you*! And to witness Charles Martin make a fool of himself. I’ve already seen you in action—gotta say, you looked pretty dashing up there, brother-in-law. Why didn’t I notice before how charismatic you are?”Heidi’s words flowed effortlessly, her tone both playful and sincere.“Alright, enough of that. I need to head back. Charles Martin’s hand still needs fixing—if I don’t treat it soon, it might end up permanently damaged,” Joseph said, glancing at the clock.“Why bother? That guy’s been out to get you from the start. Let his hand stay ruined—it’d serve him right,” Heidi huffed, cle

“Let’s get a chair for Professor Martin. He’ll need to sit for this,” Joseph instructed, his voice steady and commanding. The students quickly followed his directions, and soon everything was prepared.An eerie silence settled over the room. The atmosphere grew tense, and even Charles Martin, now seated, felt an inexplicable chill.“Does anyone have something for Professor Martin to bite on? I’m worried he might bite his tongue,” Joseph said suddenly, breaking the silence.“Wait, hold on, Professor Wilson—will it really hurt that much? Enough for me to bite my tongue?” Martin asked, his voice trembling slightly.“Professor Martin, your hand is severely swollen. To restore it through manual adjustment, there’s only one way,” Joseph said, pausing deliberately as if to build suspense.“What… what way?” Martin’s voice wavered, his growing dread evident.“Strength brings miracles,” Joseph declared, his tone calm and matter-of-fact. “Since strength is involved, the pain is inevitable.”With

"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

"No, I was just following your train of thought." Joseph’s face fell, his inner thoughts a chaotic tangle. How had the conversation circled back to marriage again? It was giving him a headache. "Once you’re married, the two of you can always be together—even while you sleep. That’s the only way to ensure her safety forever." Blake’s tone was matter-of-fact. "I’ll think about it." Joseph quickly steered the conversation elsewhere. "Let’s talk about me instead, shall we?" "Fine. Go ahead. But remember, as long as you agree to marriage, everything is negotiable." Blake’s tone was magnanimous, as though any issue could be resolved as long as Joseph complied. "It’s about my master and his agreement with Old Mr. Cooper. When the time is right, I will awaken him." "Old Mr. Cooper—you must know him, don’t you?" Joseph’s words carried a deeper implication. "Old Mr. Cooper? He’s even older than I am. Of course, I know him. But we were never close. Our only connection was through you

"You may be uncertain about giving her a future, but she’s certain about giving you one. I have only one son and one granddaughter. Alice is the undeniable heir to the Morgan family." "The properties in Nova City? They’re just a fraction of the Morgan family’s assets. Our true foundation lies in Metropolis City, where Alice’s father manages all of our enterprises. As long as you marry Alice, all of it will be yours." "All you need to do is say yes—and you’ll instantly possess wealth beyond imagination," Blake said, his voice brimming with pride. Joseph silently reflected, marveling at the sheer magnitude of the Morgan family’s wealth. There was no doubt—Alice wasn’t just any heiress. She was the heiress, a true gem of high society. To marry Alice wasn’t just to gain unimaginable riches—it was to win the heart of a remarkable woman. A man who achieved both would have the world at his feet, smiling even in his dreams."I know all that. But my relationship with Alice has nothing to

Nova City, Whispering Pines Villas Blake Morgan was already seated at the dining table, a composed figure emanating an aura of authority. Standing behind him was a woman in her mid-thirties, elegant and strikingly beautiful despite her age. Her figure was nothing short of enviable—long legs encased in black stockings, high heels accentuating her stature, and a tightly-fitted business suit that perfectly complemented her curves. Her outfit exuded both sophistication and sensuality, blending the allure of mature femininity with the sharpness of a professional woman. The name badge pinned to her chest added a touch of corporate precision, giving her the air of a commanding presence in the workplace. "Molly, my dear assistant, why don’t you sit down and join us for dinner? Today, my future grandson-in-law personally cooked for us. My granddaughter can’t stop praising his culinary skills," Blake said with a slight smile, glancing back at his assistant. "This... might not be appropriate

"Come on, Charles Martin. Even if you’ve only learned a little, it shouldn’t be this bad," Fiona said coldly, her words cutting through him without mercy. "An entire table of dishes, all burnt black? I’m genuinely curious how you even managed to achieve that.""I used to think Joseph’s cooking wasn’t anything special," she continued, "but now I realize how much skill it truly takes to make a proper meal. It’s not something just anyone can do."Hearing Joseph’s name, Charles’s heart clenched, though he kept his expression neutral. Inside, however, his anger was boiling."Hahaha! I can’t—this is too funny. I have to take some more pictures of this masterpiece and send them to my brother-in-law. Some people will never get to witness something this extraordinary in their entire lives," Heidi said, laughing uncontrollably.

After nearly an hour of chatting, the sisters finally came downstairs to find a full table of "dishes" laid out in the living room.Maria Long and Stephen Cooper, however, had retreated to their rooms, leaving only Charles Martin to admire his "masterpieces.""Uncle, Aunt, Fiona, Heidi—dinner’s ready!" Charles called out, his face flushed with both pride and embarrassment."Wow, that was quick! Charles is so efficient—much faster than Joseph ever was," Maria said as she and Stephen emerged from their room, followed by Fiona and Heidi descending the stairs.But the moment they saw the "feast" on the table, everyone froze in place.There were over ten dishes on the table. The problem? Every single one of them was pitch black."Come on, everyone, have a seat. I apologize if the food isn’t perfect, but I

Nova City, Greenfield Villa Heidi stepped out of her car and walked toward her house. But as she opened the front door, she was startled to see a man mopping the floor inside. "Charles Martin? What are you doing here? Why are you in my house?" Heidi asked, her face full of confusion."Heidi, you’re back," Charles Martin greeted her with a fawning smile the moment he saw her. "Mom, Dad, what is he doing in our house?" Heidi frowned as she stepped inside. At that moment, Maria Long and Geoffrey Harris were lounging in the living room, watching TV. "I invited Charles over for dinner today! He’s so diligent—not only did he mop the floor, but he’s also going to cook for us later. Honestly, he’s so much better than that Joseph," Maria said with a beaming smile. "Exactly! Charles’s cooking skills must be leagues ahead of Joseph’s," Stephen Cooper chimed in, equally pleased. Hearing the word "cooking," Charles Martin’s heart sank. He had only intended to wash some vegetables and mop t

"Think about it. Over the years, so many renowned doctors have examined your grandfather, yet none of them have attempted aggressive treatments. That suggests they didn’t have enough confidence—they wouldn’t dare act rashly without fully understanding the cause of his condition." "But Charles Martin is different. He’s overly ambitious and too focused on success and recognition. He might take dangerous risks just to prove himself," Joseph analyzed, his voice calm yet firm. "You’re absolutely right, brother-in-law! I’ve always felt that Charles Martin is someone with questionable intentions," Heidi said emphatically, fully agreeing with his judgment. "Maybe we can take this opportunity for me to personally check on your grandfather. The old man has been asleep for so many years—it’s about time he woke up," Joseph said, his tone carrying a deeper meaning. "I think so too. Tomorrow, I’ll talk to my grandmother and see if she’ll let you take a look at him," Heidi said with a nod. "The

Thrill Amusement Park – Inside a Hot Pot Restaurant In a cozy booth, Joseph and Alice sat side by side as the steaming aroma of hot pot filled the air. Alice busied herself dipping slices of lamb into the bubbling broth. Once cooked, she carefully blew on the piece to cool it down before placing it into Joseph’s bowl. "Here, Joseph, eat this," Alice said with a bright smile. "I can do it myself. I’m not a kid. You should eat your own food," Joseph replied, chuckling at her earnest expression. "My grandpa told me to take good care of you. But, honestly, you’re the one always looking after me at home. Let me use this chance to return the favor," Alice said seriously, a hint of stubbornness in her tone. "I’m a grown man. I can take care of myself just fine." Joseph shook his head with a smile. "That won’t do! Taking care of you makes me happy. You wouldn’t want to take away my happiness, would you?" Alice retorted with a playful yet determined look. "Alright, alright," Joseph said
