Chapter 1035
The woman lying in the bed was none other than Fiona.At that moment, she was sleeping peacefully. Joseph’s stamina was far beyond that of any ordinary man; how could a delicate woman like her possibly withstand it?So from last night until now, she had remained in a deep sleep, and Joseph had not disturbed her.In the end, things had still come to this step. Joseph’s heart was filled with mixed emotions.Bzzz. Bzzz.Just then, the vibration of his phone interrupted his thoughts.Joseph stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, picked up the phone, glanced at the screen, and saw that it was Neil Foster calling. He answered at once."Young master, it’s begun on the eastern coast.""According to the intelligence on my end, Dreadmoor launched an attack on the eastern coast at one in the morning. It was an undeclared assault.""Right now, Nolan Bennett’s forces are resisting with everything they have."Neil Foster’s voice came from the other end of the line."So it’s finally come?""Where ar

"A little sleepy, yes—but even more than that, I want to talk to you.""It feels as though we’ve hardly ever been alone like this."Fiona spoke slowly, her voice quiet and unhurried."We were never truly husband and wife. If not for these special circumstances, how could we possibly be alone together like this?"Joseph replied."That’s true."At his words, Fiona seemed to fall briefly into disappointment."Get some rest. It’s late."With that, Joseph closed his eyes."Mm."Fiona answered softly and closed her eyes as well.After that, Joseph said nothing more, and Fiona fell silent too.Joseph assumed Fiona had finally drifted off.After taking his medicine, drowsiness was only natural. The fact that Fiona had managed to stay awake this long was already no small thing.Thinking that, Joseph closed his eyes again and prepared to sleep.But after a while, he caught the faint drift of her fragrance in the dark, and then felt her arms gently wrap around him. At once, his whole body turned

"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
