"It’s fine. Staying here with you isn’t exactly hard work.""Go on—drink the medicine."Joseph handed it to her. It had been kept in a thermal flask and was still pleasantly warm.He poured some into a bowl and brought it to Fiona."All right."Fiona lowered her head and took a sip from the medicine Joseph offered her.It was warm going down, with a faintly spicy note on the tongue. All in all, it tasted surprisingly decent.It did not look especially appealing, but the flavor was far better than its appearance suggested."After you finish this, for the next three hours or so, you’ll need to use the restroom frequently."Joseph said to Fiona."Only three hours?"Fiona sounded a little surprised."Roughly three hours."Joseph confirmed."Then that’s not too bad."Fiona’s expression was calm as she continued drinking."This medicine won’t cure the root of your condition, but it will ease the symptoms. After a full night’s sleep, you should feel much better by tomorrow morning."Joseph a

"It was about her sister’s condition, and the treatment. Everything that should have been said—and everything that shouldn’t—she told us all of it."Mason Alvarez said this carelessly as she munched on a pastry."Joseph, she’s your most capable right hand now. If she could become one of us, it would be of immense benefit to you.""You have so many businesses, and all this time they’ve been under the control of someone who is, technically, still an outsider. If one day she were to marry someone else, would you truly be at ease?""And besides, Joseph, you did once have a strong prejudice against her. But after working together and spending time together these days, surely both of you have realized that neither of you is as bad as the other once imagined.""I think the so-called illness of the heart she’s suffering from is precisely this. Without the proper remedy, I’m afraid this condition of hers will never truly heal.""And don’t doubt what I’m saying. No one understands a woman bette

"It’s nothing serious. Just a minor issue."Thinking of her conversation with Joseph moments earlier, Fiona found the subject strangely hard to voice."A minor issue? What kind of issue?""Is it really that private? You can’t even tell me? We’re both women—what is there you can’t say?""Come on, just tell me. Maybe I can help you figure it out."Heidi spoke with unmistakable enthusiasm."Joseph said... it’s emotional distress. A blockage of the vital flow."Fiona gave a light cough."And? That’s supposed to be private?"Heidi pressed on relentlessly."That’s all. That’s what he said."A faint blush rose to Fiona’s lovely face. She clearly did not want to continue."Then how is it supposed to be treated?""Seriously, what kind of emotional distress do you even have?"Heidi’s curiosity only grew."He only said it was emotional. He didn’t say what kind. How would I know?"Fiona shot back."If it’s emotional, and he doesn’t know, then you definitely do."Heidi wore the look of someone who

The moment Fiona asked that question, she immediately felt she had said something wrong.“Ah… is it that fast? I’ve already been examining you for quite a while.”Joseph paused, slightly taken aback.“I… that’s not what I meant.”Fiona lowered her head, her cheeks flushed.“Then what did you mean?”Joseph looked at her, puzzled.Something about her felt off today—strangely so.“I… did you find anything? Is there something wrong with me beyond exhaustion?”Flustered, Fiona hurriedly changed the subject.“If it were only exhaustion, would it have come to this?”“Of course, there are other issues.”“Not particularly severe—but not insignificant either.”Joseph said calmly as he began putting away his instruments.“Then what is it?”Fiona asked, unable to hide her urgency.“Do you have a boyfriend?”Joseph countered.“A boyfriend?”“How could I possibly have a boyfriend?”“I only have you as my former husband. I’ve never dated anyone.”“And besides, I’m always busy.”Fiona replied quickly

“She’s regained consciousness, but I’m still worried. Those doctors keep insisting it’s just exhaustion.”“But how could mere exhaustion leave her looking so pale—and even cause her to faint?”“I’m certain there’s something they’ve failed to detect.”Heidi chattered anxiously, her words tumbling over one another.Joseph let himself be pulled along as she hurried him upstairs.Before long, they arrived at the hospital room.As Joseph stepped inside, he saw Old Mr. Cooper, Old Mrs. Cooper, and several senior members of the Cooper family already gathered there.“Joseph, you’re here.”“Good to see you, sir.”“…”At the sight of him, everyone greeted him with unmistakable respect.Over the past few years, the Cooper family’s meteoric rise had been largely due to Joseph and Fiona.Under such circumstances, neither of them was anyone the family dared offend.Everyone understood that these two had effectively become the true helmsmen of the Cooper family.And as Fiona’s authority continued to

“My sister fainted—she’s been taken away in an ambulance.”“She hasn’t been well these past few days. Please, you have to go see her!”“If anything happens to her… what am I supposed to do?”Heidi’s voice broke as she spoke, tears spilling over.“Heidi, don’t panic. I’m on my way right now. Which hospital did the ambulance take her to?”Joseph reassured her while asking quickly.“It’s the Cooper family’s private hospital—the one closest to our home.”“I’m heading there too. I need to see her.”Heidi tried her best to steady her emotions.“Then we’ll meet at the hospital.”“Don’t worry. As long as I’m there, nothing will happen.”Joseph said firmly.“Please hurry—I’m really scared something’s wrong with her!”With that, Heidi hung up.“Mr. Wilson, what happened?”Seeing the urgency on Joseph’s face, Mason Alvarez asked.“Heidi’s sister collapsed—she’s been taken to the hospital. I need to go.”Joseph spoke as he moved toward the door.“Don’t rush—drive carefully.”Alice called after hi
