"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

    “What I know more about concerns the secrets of the Cooper family. As for the little girl in your dreams, you should ask Brian Adams about her.”“What I can tell you, however, is that your mentor did have other family members. He was never alone in this world.”“Your mentor is your family. And your mentor’s family, naturally, is your family as well.”Old Mr. Cooper spoke earnestly, his tone heavy with unspoken concerns.“I understand.”Joseph lowered his head slightly. As the image of the little girl from his dreams surfaced again, the urgency, despair, and aching pain in his heart grew even more distinct.“As for your mentor’s family background, it would be better for you to ask Brian Adams. They had intended to tell you everything from the beginning, and I believe they are already prepared.”Old Mr. Cooper thought for a moment before continuing.“That was exactly my plan,” Joseph replied with a nod.“One more thing,” Old Mr. Cooper reminded him. “No matter what you remember, you mus

    “Alright,” Joseph replied casually.With that, Fiona took the lead, and Joseph followed after her.Fiona’s residence was only a few steps away from old Mr. Cooper’s recovery room, so they arrived almost at once.“The old gentleman’s condition should be quite good by now, shouldn’t it?” Joseph asked offhandedly.“He can bathe on his own now,” Fiona replied with a soft smile.“His walking still isn’t steady, but he can manage. After walking for a while, he just needs to rest.”“For safety, I’ve arranged for some attendants to stay close to him.”“That means his recovery is going very well,” Joseph said thoughtfully.“The speed of his recovery far exceeds my expectations.”“It’s largely thanks to his strong physical foundation. For most people, after such a severe injury, recovery itself would be difficult.”“Grandpa’s constitution is one thing,” Fiona said sincerely,“but more importantly, it’s because of you. With any other doctor, the results wouldn’t have been nearly this good.”Jose

    “Sure. I’ll need some paper and a pen,” Joseph said readily.“Waiter, could we borrow some paper and a pen?” Lincoln Myers called out toward the door of the private room.A moment later, the waiter came in, and before long, Lincoln Myers had the requested items.Joseph took the paper and pen and immediately began writing.“Professor Wilson really does write prescriptions as effortlessly as breathing,” Malcolm Gray remarked, watching Joseph’s pen fly across the page.“How many medicinal materials and formulas must you have memorized?”“Traditional medicine—its materials, properties, principles, and formulas—is extremely complex,” Joseph replied as he wrote.“Remembering all of it took a great deal of time.”“And I still review it periodically. Otherwise, things fade.”“Fortunately, much of it follows internal logic and structure. Once you grasp those patterns, memorization becomes far less daunting.”“Professor Wilson, who is this prescription for?” Lincoln Myers asked curiously.“Judg

    “The president is far too kind,” Joseph replied politely.After that, the four of them ate and chatted at the same time, their conversation drifting between work and everyday life—though work-related topics clearly dominated.Before they realized it, more than half an hour had passed, and everyone was more or less satisfied with both food and drink.“Professor Wilson, old Myers,” Geoffrey Harris said with a chuckle,“I never imagined the two of you would actually turn hostility into harmony.”“Oh, that’s nothing,” Lincoln Myers waved it off.“I, Lincoln Myers, have only ever respected people who are truly better than me.”“Professor Wilson genuinely has real ability.”“Whether it’s professional competence or personal integrity, it’s all plain for everyone to see.”“I can’t very well let my own prejudices blind me to someone else’s strengths, can I?”“Don’t you agree, President?”“It’s a good thing you’ve come to this understanding,” Geoffrey Harris said approvingly.“To be honest, I d

    “What nonsense are you talking about? Things aren’t nearly that simple,” Joseph said, his face flushing slightly.“But what if it really is that simple?” Mason Alvarez teased with a grin.“What—did your conscience suddenly wake up? Afraid you’d be letting us down?”“There is some pressure, I’ll admit,” Joseph replied honestly.“Hehe, no need to feel pressured,” Mason Alvarez said cheerfully.“From now on, the girl and I will keep a very tight rein on you. No more flirting around for you.”Hearing this, Joseph was left speechless. It wasn’t that he had ever intended things to turn out this way, but life had a way of unfolding through chance and coincidence. Many things were simply beyond the control of any one person.The two chatted casually along the way, and before they realized it, they were already home.No sooner had they arrived than Joseph received a message from Lincoln Myers.“Professor Wilson, the place is set. I’m sending you the location.”A moment later, a location pin ca

    “I promised the two of them earlier, so of course I’ll help,” Joseph said calmly.“I’ve just been rather busy lately and didn’t manage to get around to it.”“But this matter itself isn’t particularly complicated—just a couple of prescriptions and some proper conditioning should do.”Hearing this, Joseph spoke with complete confidence.“So it’s that simple?”Lincoln Myers and Malcolm Gray exchanged glances, both clearly pleased by what they saw in each other’s eyes.“Well, simple and not simple at the same time,” Joseph continued.“The key lies in the prescription—one that only I have.”“But a formula on paper is lifeless. I need to see your individual conditions and make adjustments, so I can’t prescribe anything just yet.”“Then how about we set another time,” Lincoln Myers suggested. “You can take a proper look at the two of us.”“That works,” Joseph agreed without hesitation.“How about tomorrow at noon? Professor Wilson, are you free?” Lincoln Myers proposed.“Professor Gray and I
