“How about I make her steamed lobster—her absolute favorite?”Joseph thought for a moment and said.“A dinner made with love, huh?”“Either way is fine. You’ve grown up together—you know her better than anyone.”Mason Alvarez blinked her beautiful eyes and replied.“Then it’s settled.”Joseph nodded.After that, Joseph and Mason Alvarez first went to buy the lipstick Alice loved most. On the way home, Joseph stopped by a seafood market and carefully selected an especially large lobster.Once everything was prepared, the two of them finally headed home.By the time they arrived, it was already around four in the afternoon.At that moment, Alice was sprawled in the living room, binge-watching a drama while munching noisily on snacks.“Joseph, you’re back!”Seeing him, Alice immediately put down her tablet and hurried over to him.“What did you buy?”She stared at the bags in his hands with childlike curiosity, rummaging through them like an overly inquisitive kid.“They’re ingredients.
Chapter 792
“What do you mean ‘a bit difficult’? I’m no orthopedics expert, but even I could tell that operation was far from easy.”“Not to mention, in all of Nova City—maybe even Elysia—besides you, I doubt there’s a second person who would dare take it on.”“That surgery’s going to be a classic case at Nova First Hospital—studied over and over, taught to young doctors for years.”Toby Dristan spoke from the heart.“Well… maybe. It should have some academic value.”Joseph was modest by nature. Faced with such praise, he wasn’t sure how to respond.“Right, enough talk—I nearly forgot the important part. What would you like to eat? Order whatever you want.”“This is probably the most famous seafood place in Nova City. I’ve been here twice—very distinctive.”He passed the menu to Joseph and Mason.“Mr. Dristan, you should do the honors. We’re your guests.”Mason glanced at Joseph, playing polite.“Go ahead, Mr. Dristan.”Joseph echoed.“Oh, come on—no need to be formal with me.”“If it weren’t for

“I was going to ask if you could rub my arm a bit. I’ve been gripping a scalpel all day—it’s sore.”Joseph smiled.“That’s it?”Mason shot him a mock-angry look.“What else would it be? What nonsense are you imagining?”He arched a brow.“Ugh, get out. I hope your arm falls off.”She gave him a playful swat and rolled her eyes.“If there’s nothing else, I’ll head out.”Joseph patted her on the hip and rose.“Wait.”Mason slipped off his lap.“What is it?”he asked.“I’ll massage it for you. Can’t help it—I worry about you.”With surprising tenderness, she started kneading his forearm. Joseph could only chuckle, wordless.Time slipped by.By a little past eleven the next morning, it was nearly time to leave. They were supposed to meet Toby Dristan at noon, but Mason was still fussing over makeup and outfits—something she’d been doing since nine.Joseph was at a loss. Do all women need this long to leave the house?“Joseph, when will you two be back?”Alice asked around a bite of apple,

“Today I went shopping with Senior Mason Alvarez and little sister Alice. We only just got back and finished dinner.”“Oh—by the way, how did things go at the hospital?”Heidi, a lollipop tucked between her lips, chattered as she followed Joseph inside.“Smoothly. The child should be fine.”Joseph answered as he shrugged off his coat.“That’s a relief.”“Here, have some water—you’ve had a long day.”Heidi, unusually attentive, poured him a glass. Joseph was a little taken aback. This carefree girl—being considerate? Either she’d grown up, or no good deed comes without strings.“Thanks.”“Do you need a favor?”He took a sip and looked at her.“Nope.”She stood before him, poised and pretty, a touch of mischief in her eyes.“Then why the water?”He lifted the glass, curious.“What, I can’t pour you a drink now?”She blinked at him, feigning innocence.“That’s not it. It’s just… unlike you.”Joseph gave a helpless smile and sat down.“What’s so unlike me? You worked hard today, so I’m be
Chapter 789
As Fiona spoke, she took the lead—swishing a few slices of tender beef through the broth and dropping them into Lindsay Anderson’s bowl.“Thank you, Senior.”Lindsay looked genuinely grateful.“No need for thanks—help yourselves.”Joseph chuckled.At that, Lindsay stopped holding back.Fiona, even less so—she’d never felt the need for formalities before, and certainly not now. Over-politeness would only make things awkward.After an entire afternoon in the operating room, the three of them were worn out and ravenous. By the time they were done, the bill neared two thousand dollars.But for Joseph, it was a trivial expense.They ate for more than an hour and finally leaned back, content.When Joseph went to pay, Lindsay was stunned.“Professor Wilson… did I eat too much?”A blush dusted her cheeks. Nearly two grand for three people—it felt absurd.“Seventy percent of that was me.”Joseph laughed.He stood and followed the server to the front desk.“Come on, Lindsay—let’s head out.”“It
Chapter 788
“Dr. Wilson, congratulations. Before the surgery, I was shortsighted. I owe you an apology.”Associate Director Morales exhaled lightly, his expression grave.“Come now, Associate Director Morales—everyone has the right to their own judgment. That’s not a fault.”Joseph smiled as he spoke.“I shouldn’t have underestimated you. You’ve already worked too many miracles.”“I hope you go further and higher from here.”Morales shook Joseph’s hand again.“Thank you.”With a faint smile on his face, Joseph accepted another round of applause from the room.He remained at the hospital a while longer. When Peggy woke, he briefly explained the situation to her, made sure she was stable, and only then left with Fiona and Lindsay Anderson.“By the way, didn’t Heidi say yesterday she’d swing by?”They had stopped by the parking area when Joseph turned to ask Fiona.“Her? Heartless as ever. She texted this morning that she was off shopping with two close friends, and I haven’t heard from her since.”
