"Are we dining out, or is there another arrangement?"Joseph asked."Why would we eat out? We’ll have dinner at home. Your cooking is far better than any restaurant chef’s."Blake shook his head, a grin on his face."Alright, I’ll get everything prepared."Joseph nodded."You might remember Mason Morgan, your uncle—perhaps you met him once or twice when you were young. He doesn’t know much about you, so he may be a bit strict. It’s a good chance for you two to talk and get to know each other."Blake advised."Don’t worry, Old Mr. Morgan."Joseph smiled."There’s something else I’d like your opinion on."Blake hesitated for a moment before speaking."What is it? Go ahead."Joseph responded casually."You remember Molly, Alice’s assistant? She occasionally drives her to school."Blake frowned."Of course, that was just recently."Joseph replied."What do you think of her? Does she seem like a good wife and mother?"Blake asked with pointed curiosity."Old Mr. Morgan, what are you implyi

"As her grandfather, I truly hope her childhood dream can come true."Blake Morgan sighed, his face filled with deep affection and sorrow.But as he spoke, a smile of contentment slowly emerged.Because now, Joseph and Alice were truly together.Seeing his granddaughter so happy every day brought him immense joy."Old Mr. Morgan, rest assured—I will never let Alice down."Joseph said solemnly."With those words, I can rest easy. You and your master were always men of your word.""But still, I hope you and Alice can speed things up a little. Time waits for no one. I’m getting old, and honestly—I really want to hold my great-grandchild in my arms.""As long as you two can give me a great-grandchild, most of this family’s fortune will be yours.""You must understand—to me, money is just a number.""I have no interest in wealth. I’ve worked for the family business for years, and I’ve never taken a single cent in salary. Of course, all my wages were deposited under my granddaughter’s name—

"Alright, enough with the comparisons. Medicine is a field where talent plays a crucial role." "And let’s be honest—do you think Professor Wilson’s abilities are within the realm of normal human talent?" Philip Anderson shook his head, somewhat exasperated. "Ahem, of course, Dad, you’re amazing too. You’re incredible." Richard Anderson coughed awkwardly, trying to smooth things over. "That said, the Cooper family truly squandered a once-in-a-century opportunity. A genius like him is rare, perhaps only appearing once in a hundred years." "In contrast, Lindsay is quite lucky—at least she has the chance to learn from such a remarkable teacher." "And if things were to progress further... well, that would be even better." Philip Anderson mused. "I don’t even understand what you’re all talking about! Are you trying to marry me off to my teacher or something? Shouldn’t you at least ask for my opinion? You’re acting like those olden-day families who sold off their daughters." Lindsa

"That’s why I was thinking… If your dad and Molly get together, our family will gain two new members." "And if you and Joseph could give me a great-grandchild—twins would be ideal, triplets would be even better—then with Molly’s daughter, we’d have a house full of children." "Our home would finally be lively, full of joy and laughter. And I… I could finally enjoy my retirement by staying home and taking care of the little ones." Blake Morgan’s face was full of anticipation, his smile widening at the thought. "Grandpa! So that’s what you were getting at! You were leading me in circles just to bring up great-grandchildren again!" "I’m still in school! How am I supposed to give you great-grandkids? I’m only a sophomore—I won’t even graduate for another two years!" Alice wrinkled her nose, feeling exasperated. Clearly, her grandfather was very invested in the idea of having great-grandchildren. "Well, then next year should be about right. Once you graduate, you can let me hold my

Back in the living room, she poured herself a glass of water and drank it down in one go."Joseph, I was messing around in the kitchen earlier and worked up quite a sweat. I feel all sticky—I’m going to take a quick shower."After finishing her drink, Alice announced."Alright, go ahead. I’ll just sit here for a bit."Joseph responded casually.Before long, Alice returned to her room. Moments later, she emerged again, carrying a change of clothes as she headed toward the bathroom.Joseph settled onto the sofa and immediately sent a message to Heidi, inquiring about Bruce Cooper's condition.Heidi responded swiftly with a voice message."Grandfather is doing much better now. His complexion has improved a lot.""Brother-in-law, you're truly amazing. This afternoon, when I saw Grandpa coughing up blood, I was terrified.""If it had been an ordinary doctor, he’d probably be in the ICU by now."Heidi sent three messages in succession. Her voice was gentle and soothing, making Joseph feel i

As Fiona listened, a strange feeling settled in her heart.She had been married to Joseph in name for three years, yet not once had they done any of those things together.It was almost laughable."I’ve never done any of that with him.""Honestly, it feels like you and he are more like a married couple than we ever were."Fiona’s lips curled into a self-deprecating smile as she shook her head."Uh… I borrowed your ex-husband for a bit. You’re not mad, are you?"Heidi froze for a second, her smile faltering slightly. Hearing Fiona say that out loud, she suddenly realized just how unusually close she and Joseph really were."Why would I be angry? You said it yourself—he's my ex-husband. Why would I waste my energy being mad at an ex?""Besides, even if I were angry, it wouldn’t matter. He wouldn’t care. That’s how it was then, and that’s how it is now.""Back then, I didn’t fully realize it, but now I do. His compliance wasn’t out of affection—it was more like fulfilling an obligation.

The old madam noticed her discomfort and quickly interjected, "Of course, it’s normal! Perfectly normal. Your grandfather and I aren’t saying otherwise.""Then…"Heidi was still confused. She glanced between her grandparents, feeling like they had something important to say."Heidi, I’m getting old. Do you think you could help me out? Managing the family business, handling all the various affairs—it’s getting harder for me to keep up."Bruce Cooper said suddenly.Heidi froze."Grandpa… what do you mean by that?"She asked cautiously."What your grandfather means is that you could start assisting him. You’re eighteen now—your sister was the same age when she began helping out. Now that you’ve reached this age, it’s time for you to step in as well."The old madam explained gently."Wait… Grandpa, you’re joking, right? I’ve never learned anything about business management. I have zero talent for this kind of thing.""Please, don’t joke like that—I’m really not cut out for it."Heidi was

"Then we’ll just have to trust in Heidi’s bond with him.""If you had told me earlier how important he was, I wouldn’t have stayed out of the affairs of our eldest son’s household."The old madam chuckled wryly."I assumed that with Fiona’s intelligence, she would eventually see that her husband was no ordinary man—that she would understand my intentions with time.""But in the end, I overestimated her. That was my miscalculation."The old man lamented."Enough, old man. Regret won’t change anything. Why don’t you lie down and rest? If anything happens, just call for them—there are people standing by 24/7 outside."The old madam urged him. Given his current condition, too much talking wasn’t good for him."Alright. Once I recover, I’ll deal with that unfilial son and that wretched woman, Maria Long."A flicker of sharpness flashed in the old man’s eyes."Enough of that. Stop dwelling on unpleasant matters. Try to think of something cheerful instead. Now, lie down and rest!"The old ma

"Even from a short distance, you can catch a whiff of a strange, foul mixture of odors. It’s obvious this man is addicted to debauchery, steeped in nightlife excess. He’s riddled with various venereal diseases—he's utterly filthy.""So, it's best to stay as far away from people like him as possible. Many diseases are contagious," Joseph said with a faint smile."My grandfather once took me to dinner with his father, and he was there too. Was I in danger back then?" Alice asked, a flicker of fear crossing her face."It's not that serious. Most diseases of that nature require intimate contact to spread. A shared meal isn't enough. You’re perfectly healthy—there’s nothing to worry about.""But keeping your distance is still wise," Joseph added reassuringly."Phew, that's a relief," Alice exhaled deeply."Joseph, by what you’re saying, Raymond Kim doesn't have long to live," Alice said, half-joking but with a trace of genuine concern."Not necessarily that he'll die soon, but he’l

Even before the final bell, Joseph was already sitting in his car, waiting patiently for Alice. He sat quietly, glancing idly into the left rearview mirror—only to spot a few familiar figures reflected within.Seeing the situation, Joseph reached out and adjusted the rearview mirror, giving himself a clearer view of the people behind the car. At that moment, on the balcony of the First Teaching Building, a few students stood, their gazes cold and sharp, fixed on Joseph’s car.Joseph recognized them all. Leading the group was Raymond Kim, flanked by his ever-present sidekick—someone named Jonathan, if he recalled correctly. Another figure was Scrappy, a non-student who Joseph had once taught a painful lesson. University campuses were generally open spaces; unless someone behaved outrageously, outsiders wouldn't be barred entry.What surprised Joseph was the presence of Griffin Bailey, who had relentlessly pursued Heidi before. Yet, thinking it through, it made sense—both Griffin'

"What do you mean 'looks like'? That's clearly Mr. Wilson—my former brother-in-law, mind you!" After watching for a while, Heidi spoke with absolute certainty."Are you really that sure, Heidi?" A short-haired girl glanced at her, skeptical."Of course I am! I lived under the same roof with him for three years. I can recognize his speech patterns, his every little habit and gesture without even thinking. Even if there are many things about him that I don't fully understand, I'm too familiar with who he is. I can even recognize his scent the moment he gets close.""So yeah, I'm a hundred percent sure—that's my brother-in-law. Well... ex-brother-in-law," Heidi declared, her tone firm."Geez! Honestly, it sounds like those three years, Wilson wasn't married to your sister at all, but to you," Daphne teased, a strange feeling rising in her heart. The intimacy between Heidi and Joseph, the depth of her understanding of him, seemed almost excessive—far beyond what normal relatives or ev

"Hello? Uncle Mason? What’s the matter?"Joseph answered the call, taking the initiative to speak first."My dear future son-in-law, are you alone right now?"Mason Morgan’s voice came through the line, sounding a little secretive."Uh, yeah. I’m the only one in the office at the moment. Everyone else is off—some are teaching, some are in the lab, and others are running errands."Joseph glanced around before replying."Good, that’s perfect. I’ve got a rather private question for you."Mason sounded visibly relieved."Sure, Uncle Mason. Ask whatever you want."Joseph blinked in surprise, but responded casually."Remember how you said my body would recover most of its function within three days?"Mason began cautiously."I did say something to that effect, yes."Joseph nodded, recalling the conversation."You definitely said it. So I want to ask—were you being serious?"Mason pressed."Of course I was serious. If it comes out of my mouth, it’s the truth. I don’t make empty promises.""B

"Mr. Wilson, about that request you made earlier—to compile my wife's medical records—I stayed up last night and got it all done."Brady Rogers cleared his throat, his tone unusually eager."Oh? That fast? Where are the documents? Let me take a look."Joseph was a bit surprised—he hadn’t expected Rogers to be so efficient."Right here.""Please have a look, Mr. Wilson."As he spoke, Brady lifted a thick stack of folders from beneath his desk."Just leave it on my table. I’ll go through it and let you know."Joseph glanced at the pile of medical records and CT scans. Even skimming it would take considerable time."Much appreciated, Mr. Wilson."Brady placed the documents in front of Joseph but didn’t make any move to leave."Professor Rogers, you don't have to wait here. Go ahead with your work—no need to tire yourself out."Joseph noticed him standing stiffly in front of his desk and tried to persuade him."It’s alright, Mr. Wilson. I’d rather wait. I’m... quite anxious, honestly."Br

Under the comment posted by the user with the James profile picture, a flood of inquisitive netizens gathered, all eager to uncover the identity of the man whose piano performance had touched their hearts so deeply.After keeping everyone in suspense long enough, the user finally revealed the answer. "I’m a student at Nova University. This gentleman is our teacher—Mr. Joseph Wilson. At least, I’m fairly certain it’s him." "Whoa, no wonder! Turns out he’s a big shot from Nova University’s Music Department. That explains the brilliance. He made Butterfly Lovers sound like a divine symphony. 'Today I heard him speak through the pipa, and it felt like celestial music piercing the soul.'" "Actually, just to clarify, Mr. Joseph isn't from the Music Department. He’s the youngest faculty member in the Traditional Medicine Department—just joined less than a month ago," James replied again. "I’m also a student at Nova University. The person in the video does resemble Mr. Wilson, but not ent

"He didn’t say much—just asked me to remind you. Said it’s something important, and that you should come alone," Heidi continued."Alright then. It's getting late, and I’ve got an early class tomorrow. I should get some rest," Joseph replied."Okay, sleep well. Good night, brother-in-law," Heidi said sweetly.After exchanging goodnights, they both hung up.---The next morning, Joseph and Alice arrived at the university early.Joseph didn’t even stop by his office—he went straight to the classroom.By the time he finished teaching and returned to the office, Mason Alvarez, Felix Baker, and Brady Rogers were already there.Mason was busy working, while Felix and Brady were huddled together, whispering and seemingly engrossed in some intriguing discovery.They didn’t even notice when Joseph walked in."Mr. Wilson, I came in early today and still didn’t see you. Didn’t you have a morning class?" Mason was the first to speak."Exactly. I went straight to the classroom and skipped the offi

"I'm a doctor. Of course I know what it is," Joseph replied, clearly exasperated."As long as you know. Mr. Wilson, don’t you think I’m being especially considerate?" Mason sounded rather smug."Considerate? You’re the one who's been corrupting Alice," Joseph retorted."Corrupting her? Come on, she’s an adult. Do you really think she needs me to teach her this stuff?""I simply did what neither of you had the nerve to do. I know you’re both too shy to take the first step, so I gave you a little nudge.""Alice is a good girl. You're not planning on getting wild without protection, are you?"Mason's voice carried a sly undertone."Professor Alvarez, I’m not some irresponsible guy. You think I'd cross the line like that? I haven’t even touched her."Joseph tried to defend himself."Exactly, you haven't touched her—that is crossing the line. Not touching her is one kind of reckless. Touching her without protection is another. Know what I mean?"Mason looked like a seasoned veteran in such

"What is it? Why do I have to go to your room to see it?"Joseph raised a brow, intrigued."Just go take a shower first, alright? You’ll see."She urged him again, her tone playful."...Alright then."Joseph found it odd but didn’t press. He turned and made his way to his room.Back in his room, Joseph quickly gathered his change of clothes and headed into the bathroom.Outside, Alice was still happily munching away at her late-night feast.Joseph was still curious about what Alice wanted to show him, but figured he might as well shower first.By the time he came out, towel-drying his hair, Alice had just about finished eating."So, what was that thing you wanted to show me?" Joseph asked casually."Carry me to my room first, and I’ll show you." Alice spread her arms toward him expectantly.Joseph could only sigh and walk over.The moment he was close, Alice wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and locked her legs around his waist like a koala, clinging to him with no intention
