“It’s your conscience.”“What I admire most is the conscience you carry as a physician—your clarity about right and wrong, your principles, your unwavering sense of duty.”Philip Anderson spoke with heartfelt admiration.“I only hope to act without shame before my own heart,” Joseph replied softly, lowering his head.“To be at peace with oneself—easy to say, but how many truly manage it?” Philip Anderson shook his head.“Old Mr. Anderson, you flatter me,” Joseph answered with a faint smile.“Professor Wilson, my father has been following the situation at Havencrest Medical Center as well. When that place finally collapsed, he was practically applauding.” Richard Anderson laughed as he poured tea for Joseph.“The issues at Havencrest Medical Center have existed for years. We at Nova General Hospital often receive their patients.”“From what those patients say, along with our own assessment, it’s clear they never received proper care there.”“At first, we thought it was just coincid

“Can you not be so explicit? You’re shameless,” Alice huffed.“What’s there to be afraid of? There’s no one else here. As for his… affairs, the two of us know more than he does,” Mason Alvarez said bluntly.Alice’s pretty face flushed scarlet.“Ahem. I’m free this afternoon—and not tired,” Joseph cut in, clearing his throat.“In that case, let’s go out together later, Joseph!” Alice clapped softly, delighted. “It’s been ages since we went shopping—this is great!”She was, as ever, easy to please.After lunch, the three of them headed out.A woman’s appetite for shopping should never be underestimated—especially when money isn’t an issue. The two of them bought with effortless abandon. Heidi was different; she had money too, but never spent much—a virtue in its own right. Then again, spending freely isn’t exactly a vice either. If money can’t buy happiness, what’s the point of it?The day flew by. After a whirlwind of shopping, both Alice and Mason were thoroughly satisfied.The next d

“Free? Of course. We’re on break, so I’m basically at home looking after the kids and Kelly. My mom’s here too,” Brady Rogers replied at once.“I’ll come by tomorrow—around two in the afternoon,” Joseph said.They spoke a while longer about Kelly’s condition. From Brady’s detailed account, Joseph judged that her recovery was going very well. Brady was a physician himself, and a medical educator at that; his clinical descriptions were bound to be precise.After nearly ten minutes, they hung up.Joseph then called Lindsay Anderson. The line connected quickly.“Hello? Mr. Wilson? Do we have a time?” Lindsay asked.“Yes. I’m calling to confirm—tomorrow at two, at Professor Rogers’s place,” Joseph said.“No problem on my end, Mr. Wilson,” she replied. “Oh, and would you come to my place for lunch first? My mom’s making something special.”“Grandpa Tristan Flores will be there too. My dad and grandpa want to come with us afterward—they said they’d like to witness a medical miracle.”“In tha

“What else would I be doing? Obviously, tormenting you,” Alice teased, eyes dancing. “What—don’t you like it when I tease you?”“Who likes being bullied?” Joseph chuckled helplessly.“If you don’t, then I simply must,” Alice declared, and leaned in for another kiss.After a bout of her playful antics, Joseph finally got the upper hand. In his arms, Alice had no tricks left and had to surrender—off she went to wash up and get ready for breakfast.By the time Joseph came out of the kitchen, Alice was already seated at the dining table, waiting.“Joseph, did you make extra? I bet that old woman is on her way,” Alice said between bites.“When have I not cooked enough? Don’t worry—there’s more than you two can finish,” Joseph replied with a smile.“Heh, perfect,” Alice grinned.Right then, a knock sounded at the door.“Right on cue. That must be her,” Alice said around a mouthful of bun.“I’ll get it,” Joseph said, rising and heading for the door.The moment he opened it, a warm cloud of p

Urged on by Alice, Joseph had no choice but to head into the bathroom.Before long, Alice brought in his clean clothes and set them on the shelf by the door.They had long since crossed their final boundary, but there were still moments that made them shy—like this one. They had never been quite so unabashed anywhere outside the bed.That brief, bashful interlude ended when Alice slipped out of the bathroom.About twenty minutes later, Joseph emerged.Alice was no longer in the living room.Seeing this, Joseph flicked off the light and walked back to his room.As expected, he found Alice sitting on his bed, her legs tucked beneath the blanket, wearing only a scanty camisole on top.The thin fabric traced every perfect line of her figure. At a glance, Joseph felt a tremor ripple through him.“Joseph, you’re done?” Alice asked, closing the book in her hands as he came in.“Done,” he said. “What are you reading?”“I grabbed something off your shelf—your favorite, The Spring and Autumn An

“I’m an old man now. And as an old man, the most important thing is to know your place—otherwise your children and grandchildren will grow to resent you.”“I refuse to become the kind of old man people can’t stand,” Blake Morgan said with a cheerful smile.“In my heart, sir, you truly are a wise elder,” Joseph praised.“It isn’t exactly wisdom,” Blake replied. “It’s just this—try to think from the perspective of the young. That’s all.”“Not to boast, but in my family, we’ve never even had a real shouting match.”“The secret to running a household is balance and diplomacy. Step in where it’s needed, step back where it isn’t, and never insist that everyone do things your way.”“It’s the same with running a company. One person’s talent and judgment are finite. You have to gather the strengths of many if you want long-lasting stability.”The more Blake spoke, the more reflective he became. These were the lessons of decades of living.“You’re right, sir. That’s exactly how it is,” Joseph n
