“I just ate. I’m not hungry—no need for a late-night snack.”Joseph smiled.“Alright then—how about some fruit? I’ll go wash some.”Alice’s eyes sparkled; she grinned.“Fruit sounds perfect.”Joseph replied.“Then I’ll get it. Go sit on the sofa and relax.”She pecked Joseph on the cheek again before trotting off to the kitchen.“Unbelievable. I just said the fruit was gone and told her to wash some—she wouldn’t budge. Now she rushes off on her own.”“Priorities, priorities. Traitor to friendship. Wretched woman.”Mason Alvarez threw her arms up theatrically.“Why are you always bossing her around?”Joseph poured himself a glass of water and settled onto the sofa.“Mr. Wilson—mwah! mua! (╯3╰)”No sooner had he sat than Mason swooped in for a mock kiss, leaving Joseph momentarily nonplussed.“Tch. What’s that look? Are you disgusted?”“The little one kisses you and you beam. I kiss you and you look like you’ve swallowed a lemon.”“You shameless man—such favoritism.”Mason pouted at his

“Uncle, Auntie, wherever you came from, go back there. You won’t be homeless, will you? In any case, it’s no longer appropriate for you to stay here.”Charles Martin drew a long breath and spoke.“Charles?”Maria Long tried to say something, but the words wouldn’t come.“It’s decided. You have two or three days—move out. Tell me when you’re leaving. If you don’t, I’ll come by myself.”“All right, I’m busy. I’m hanging up.”Charles didn’t want to go in circles with Maria and Stephen any longer. He ended the call.Left with a dead line, Maria and Stephen simply stared at one another.“Joseph. It’s Joseph again—that insidious, scheming Joseph. Damn him.”“Why won’t he leave us alone, even now?”Maria found her voice at last, each word bitten off with spite.“Let’s think what to do. If we leave here, where can we go?”“I was thinking—could we return to the old house?”Stephen’s brow furrowed deep.“Stephen, are you out of your mind? Back to the old house? You think your heartless father w

“Soon—within a week or two. Once it’s set, I’ll tell you.”Her little cousin replied to Heidi almost at once.“Just come straight to the Cooper family estate. My parents probably don’t know what’s been going on at home, do they?”Heidi asked again.“Huh? What’s going on?”“You know my mom and your aunt don’t really get along. I don’t think they’ve spoken in ages.”Her cousin added.Heidi briefly filled her in on what had happened over the past weeks.Family scandal, perhaps—but no longer the point.“Oh? So that’s how it is. Then when we come, Mom and I will just visit you and our eldest cousin.”Her cousin said.“It’s up to you. But you should talk to Auntie—bring her up to speed.”Heidi instructed.“I know.”“I’ll tell my mom.”“Cousin, I’ve got to go—Mom’s calling me.”With that, her cousin said goodbye and fell silent.Heidi changed into her pajamas before stepping out of the bathroom.At that moment, Fiona was in the hall, reading with unruffled focus.Say what you will—Heidi hers

“Dad, what I mean is, if we want Mr. Wilson to become the director of Nova University’s Sixth Affiliated Hospital, I can do my part to help push it along. I’m just worried he won’t be willing.”“By help, I mean I’ll be a bit proactive—do some quiet brokering.”Richard Anderson explained patiently.“Your son is the incoming director of the Nova City Health Bureau. He’ll be taking office soon, and he’s already acting in that capacity.”“The provincial office sent a letter asking for his recommendation on how to handle the Havencrest Medical Center land, didn’t they? He’ll have to weigh in on that.”“If, when the time comes, your son mentions Mr. Wilson to President Harris—says that it was Mr. Wilson’s intercession that allowed the land to go to Nova University—”“Then guess what? In the end, wouldn’t Nova University seriously consider Mr. Wilson as director of the Sixth Affiliated Hospital?”“At that point, even if Mr. Wilson isn’t keen, they’ll likely pin the top seat on him anyway.”T

“Thank you, Professor Wilson… truly, thank you.” “No pain—none at all. Without you, that would’ve been real suffering!”Kelly’s eyes reddened instantly. The worst of the first and second treatments was behind her, and now the third was finally complete. Her emotions tumbled together—mostly relief, gratitude, and joy.“Congratulations, Professor Wilson—congratulations, Dr. Kelly!” “Remarkable… truly remarkable.” “These three stages have been difficult for both of you.”The onlookers couldn’t help expressing their admiration.“Kelly, stay still for a moment. Lindsay and I will remove the tubes and needles.” Joseph said gently.“All right, thank you.”“You’ve worked hard, Professor Wilson. Another day, I’m treating everyone to a feast—my thanks to all of you.” Brady, eyes moist, bowed deeply.“A feast sounds great—but only when Kelly is fully recovered. I imagine she wants to join us too.” Joseph teased lightly.“I do. I really do. I want to eat good food again so badly.” K

“Not bad. Your movements were a little slow, but your accuracy was excellent—no mistakes at all.” Joseph nodded as he answered.“Really?” Lindsay’s cheeks finally relaxed into a smile.“Haha! I knew my granddaughter could do it.” “You must have confidence in yourself, girl. You’re outstanding.” Philip Anderson beamed with pride, unable to suppress his joy.“Of course it’s true,” Joseph continued. “But you need a steadier heart. Trust yourself more. Believe you are capable.”“Thank you, Professor Wilson,” Lindsay said gratefully, her eyes softening.“Professor Wilson’s students are impressive.” “Who knows—maybe someday the doctors at every major hospital in Nova City will be his students.” Kelly smiled lightly.“Teaching isn’t the work of just a year or two. The future… who can say?” Joseph replied with an easy laugh.“It’s already easy to imagine your future, Professor Wilson—your students spread across the world.” “At Nova University, whenever you teach, the classro
