"Charles…? But Charles doesn’t know how to cook either!" Maria Long's face twisted in frustration. "Cooking skills aren’t the point—it’s the effort that counts. You ate the meal he cooked last time, didn’t you? Eat it a few more times, and your stomach will develop immunity." "Besides, gastroenteritis, if treated in time, isn’t usually fatal." Heidi's tone was lighthearted. "You little brat! Are you mocking me?" Maria Long’s expression darkened further. "Mocking or not, it doesn’t really matter anymore. Mom, I suggest you start preparing yourself for what's coming." "This villa was a reward Grandpa gave to Fiona, but the ownership still belongs to the family—it was never truly ours." "After what you did, do you really think Grandpa won’t take it back? You should start making plans now." Heidi's tone was earnest, as if she were trying to reason with her mother. "What did I do? Why would your grandfather take back this villa?" "This villa was given to Fiona, so it belongs to

"Actually… Heidi said something earlier that made a lot of sense. Maybe we do have another option." Maria Long’s eyes suddenly lit up. "What option?" Stephen Cooper turned to look at her, his expression filled with doubt."Have you forgotten? Charles’ mother and I are close friends. Their family may have moved abroad, but he still has a pretty nice villa here in Nova City. I’m sure he’s still living there." "If I ask Charles to let us move in, do you think he’d agree?" "Living in my future son-in-law’s house would actually be quite prestigious. At the very least, it would show that my daughter's fiancé is capable." Maria Long's eyes gleamed with greed. Stephen Cooper, however, looked hesitant. "But Fiona and Charles aren’t even officially together yet. Moving into his home seems a bit… inappropriate, don’t you think?" "Besides, I don't think Fiona has any real feelings for him. Now that the old man is awake, their chances of ending up together are even slimmer." Stephen Coop

Truthfully, not having a laptop was inconvenient. Every time he prepared lecture materials, he had to transfer them via an external hard drive. Fortunately, Nova University’s classrooms were well-equipped. Otherwise, things would be even more troublesome. While Mason Alvarez busied herself with arranging her new workspace, Joseph continued his own work. About ten minutes later, she finally seemed satisfied with her setup and sat down with a pleased expression. "Professor Wilson, want an egg?" Mason Alvarez, now in a great mood, pulled a boiled egg from her breakfast and offered it to him. "Thanks, but I’ve already had breakfast." Joseph declined politely. "Come on, just have one. These are farm-fresh eggs from my brother’s shop—nutritious and delicious! I eat one every morning." Mason Alvarez insisted enthusiastically. "Your brother’s eggs?" "Your brother… lays eggs?" Joseph nearly choked on his own words. "The hell is wrong with you?!" "I meant my brother’s breakfast sho

"Mason loves pan-fried buns. These ones are a specialty from the south, different from regular fried dumplings." "She eats them almost every day—without fail. I always see her eating them in the office." "So there’s no doubt. These buns were definitely bought by Mason for you." Felix Baker declared confidently. "Wait, wait, wait! Professor Baker, how do you know I didn’t buy them myself?" Joseph found the whole thing amusing. "Because you wouldn’t." "You always eat breakfast at home before coming in. I’ve been in this office with you for over two weeks now, and not once have I seen you eat breakfast here." "So, logically, these buns must be from Mason." Felix Baker stated matter-of-factly. "Professor, isn’t that a bit of a stretch? What if today was an exception? What if he didn’t have time to eat at home?" Mason Alvarez’s face turned even redder as she tried to argue. "Impossible. When I walked in, Professor Wilson was already working at his computer, with documents open

Unfortunately, his attempt at discretion backfired spectacularly. Rather than blending in, his highly suspicious appearance did the exact opposite—drawing the attention of nearly every passerby. Heads turned. People whispered. He had an absurdly high return rate. Thankfully, it was still early, and there weren’t too many people around. This mysterious, black-clad man was none other than Mason Morgan. It was his first time visiting the andrology department. And frankly, he had no idea what he was doing. A man with this kind of problem couldn’t exactly walk in with his head held high. If a familiar face saw him here… he’d never live it down! To avoid such humiliation, Mason Morgan had carefully disguised himself. But… "Excuse me, miss…" Mason Morgan entered the registration hall and approached a young nurse, lowering his voice. The nurse turned her head—only to be met with his extremely suspicious attire. "Ah!" She let out a startled yelp, instinctively taking two steps

"Abstain? For how long? Dr. Gutierrez, I lost my wife years ago and have been alone for over a decade. Now, I’m finally about to get married again…" Mason Morgan looked troubled. "There’s no way around it. Your condition is quite severe. As for how long you need to abstain… well, I can’t say for sure. Maybe ten years, maybe a lifetime." Dr. Gutierrez shrugged with a helpless expression. "What?! Ten years?! A lifetime?!" Mason Morgan nearly exploded on the spot. This guy was definitely a quack. He hadn’t figured out anything! "Uh… Dr. Gutierrez, my mother just called me home for dinner. Goodbye!" Without another word, Mason Morgan bolted from the office. What the hell?! From the moment he started talking to Dr. Gutierrez, something had felt off. With years of experience in the business world, Mason Morgan could now say with confidence— This doctor was a complete fraud. "Good thing I booked appointments at two other hospitals. Next stop—Nova City Men’s Health Clinic." Maso

"In my practice, the only true solution to your condition is long-term care—medication, abstinence, and gradual recovery." The old doctor reiterated. "But… but a young traditional medicine doctor told me he had a way to cure it. And from what he implied… it sounded like he could do it quickly." "Besides, he was the one who first pointed out that I had a problem. At first, I didn’t believe him, but that very night, his words came true." "I went to the hospital for a check-up, and sure enough, I did have an issue." Mason Morgan looked troubled. "A young traditional medicine doctor?" The old doctor raised his eyebrows in surprise. "How did he diagnose you?" He pressed further. "He didn’t actually examine me, which is why I thought he was a fraud. He just took one look at me and said I was sick. Naturally, I didn’t believe him!" Mason Morgan replied. "And how did he come to that conclusion?" The old doctor continued questioning. "He just glanced at me—he didn’t run any tests

Mason Morgan, upon hearing the question, recounted his visit to the doctor in detail for Molly. From the awkward encounter with Dr. Gutierrez to the preliminary diagnosis at the andrology clinic, and finally, the assessment from the veteran Chinese doctor at the international hospital—he relayed everything without omission. "Mason, I've heard that the doctors at Nova City International Hospital are quite skilled," Molly remarked. "People travel from all over the country just to seek treatment from them. Even that renowned Harrison Wright has spoken highly of Joseph." "The fact that a peer can offer such praise despite professional rivalry means that Joseph must be truly capable." "Mason, I think you might be too prejudiced against the boy. He’s young, yes, but who says youth equates to incompetence?" Molly spoke in a gentle yet earnest tone. "You’re saying I should go and beg that kid for help?" Mason Morgan’s voice carried a hint of frustration. "Beg? What are you talking abo

"Uh... was it that obvious?" Heidi blinked, caught off guard."It's written all over your forehead — 'I'm upset'," the old man teased."Aiya, it's like this, Grandpa. Let me tell you the whole story." Heidi plopped down beside him and began recounting everything about Joseph's upcoming blind date.After listening quietly, Old Mr. Cooper let out a long sigh. "Ah... I knew it. The moment he stepped away from the Cooper family, he started to shine." "Your sister’s biggest mistake in life was letting him go."He looked at her with a mixture of regret and foresight. "Girl, let me tell you this — this is just the beginning. From now on, more and more women will come into his life, and many of them will rival your sister in beauty and wealth."Heidi gave a bitter smile. "What can we do? That’s his blessing, not ours.""There may be nothing we can do — but you can." The old man’s eyes twinkled with something unspoken."Me?" Heidi blinked, surprised. Though Grandpa had hinted at this

Joseph looked at the old man and was momentarily speechless. If he didn’t accept it, the old man might really fall into depression.“Well, since you insist, I’ll hold on to it for now,” Joseph said helplessly.“That’s good, that’s good. You take it.” “Suddenly, I feel much better,” Old Mr. Cooper said, his spirits lifting the moment Joseph took the check, as if a great weight had been lifted from him.Joseph couldn’t help but feel a bit exasperated.“Grandpa, I’ve asked the servants to bring your lunch in. If there's nothing else, I’ll go have lunch with my brother-in-law,” Heidi said softly.“Go on, don’t worry about this old man. You young people should enjoy your time together,” the old man replied with a wistful sigh. “Heidi’s already eighteen now. Not a little girl anymore.”That last comment struck Joseph as a bit odd, as though the old man were deliberately reminding him of something. He glanced deeply at Heidi — their eyes met, and for a brief moment, neither looked aw

"It was arranged by a colleague. For various reasons, I didn’t really know how to turn it down. More accurately… I couldn’t." "In other words, I was just doing someone a favor." Joseph smiled bitterly as he explained.As they walked toward Old Mr. Cooper’s room, Joseph recounted the details of the so-called blind date to Heidi."So that’s how it is. Brother-in-law, sounds like you were just used as someone’s shield." "But… aren’t most of the professors at Nova University’s medical school already in their mid-thirties or older?" Heidi looked puzzled. Joseph was so young—surely no one would set him up with someone that much older?"Ahem… There’s one who’s quite young at the School of Modern Medicine." Joseph cleared his throat."School of Modern Medicine… young?" Heidi frowned, trying to recall. After a moment, a name came to her."You mean that Mason Alvarez? I think she’s not even thirty yet, right? She’s pretty famous, now that I think of it. She’s even the associate director o

"It's written all over your face—you think I wouldn’t notice?" Joseph teased with a smile."I-Is it really?" Brady Rogers looked genuinely startled. He instinctively picked up his phone and angled the screen toward his face like a mirror.Only after doing so did he realize how ridiculous the gesture was."Professor Wilson, are you messing with me? How could anything be written on my face?" Flushing with embarrassment, Brady scratched the back of his head."Hahaha… Professor Rogers, I meant that your emotions show clearly on your face—not that there's actual writing there." Joseph chuckled, thoroughly amused by his colleague’s reaction."Well, you’re not wrong. I do have something I’d like to talk to you about. Could I borrow three or four minutes of your time?" Brady asked earnestly."Three or four minutes? That’s just about the length of a song. We’ve got plenty of time before class—go ahead." Joseph checked his watch and nodded."Yes, just the length of a song. May I have that

"Huh? What did you say?" Molly finally registered Mason Morgan’s words, her face flushing an even deeper shade of red.She had been lost in a swirl of thoughts—fanciful, chaotic musings that made her momentarily forget where she was, or what Mason had said."I asked why your face is so red. Are you feeling unwell?" Mason repeated patiently."Really? I don’t think so. I feel fine—maybe the kitchen was just a bit too warm." Molly touched her cheeks, trying to explain away her embarrassment."Molly, I feel like there’s a surge of energy rushing straight to my head." Mason suddenly pulled her into his arms, their bodies pressed close together."Ah!" Molly let out a soft gasp at the sudden embrace."Alright, stop fooling around. You’re not supposed to overexert yourself—wait until your body fully recovers." She gently straightened his collar, her face still tinged with shyness."How about we go get our marriage certificate in the next couple of days? That way, we’ll finally be offici

"I told you—it’s medicine," Molly replied without missing a beat."Medicine? Medicine that smells like that? Are you trying to fool a child?" Leah tilted her head, clearly unconvinced."Why would I lie to you? If you don’t believe me, see for yourself." Molly sighed. Her daughter had many good traits, but her gluttony was incurable.Leah stepped closer and peered into the bowl. She blinked at the dark liquid—yes, it looked like medicine, but the aroma was far too enticing."Medicine that smells this good? Maybe... I should taste it?" She stared at the bowl with a thoughtful expression."Are you crazy? You want to drink medicine now?" Molly was half amused, half exasperated."But it looks really tasty!" Leah protested."This is your Uncle Mason’s prescription. If you drink it, what’s he supposed to take?" Molly rolled her eyes."Fine then! So you're saying this was prescribed by Alice’s boyfriend? For Uncle Mason?" Leah tilted her head upward, her tone suddenly serious."Yes, A

"What gap between people are you talking about?" "People aren’t all that different—it’s just a matter of methodology. Once you grasp the right approach, your efficiency naturally improves." Joseph smiled as he spoke."Then you have to teach me!" Alice pouted. "I thought I was already ahead of my classmates, but with your help, I feel like I can finish the entire theoretical part of this project tonight if I work another two hours.""Tomorrow, I’ll head to the lab, and that should wrap things up. The core of this project is theoretical anyway—the experimental part is minimal.""That’s great. Come on, let’s eat first." Joseph suggested.Alice agreed and took her seat at the table."Joseph, try this!" She beamed, placing a bite of food into his bowl."Delicious. You've improved a lot. At this rate, you could be a head chef at a hotel!" Joseph took a bite and praised her sincerely."Really?" Alice’s face lit up like a blooming flower."Of course." Joseph replied with certainty."Hm

"Okay, I’ve turned it down to a simmer. Two hours it is. Let’s go eat. After dinner, we’ll clean up and check the medicine—it should be about done by then." Molly gave Mason a gentle nudge."Mom, Uncle Mason, what are you cooking? Why does it smell so good?" Just then, Leah wandered over, stretching her neck to peek into the kitchen, her face full of curiosity."What else could it be? It’s medicine!" Molly tugged Leah away from the kitchen."But how can medicine smell so good? Isn’t it supposed to be bitter?" Leah glanced longingly over her shoulder, confusion written all over her face."That’s the prescription Alice’s boyfriend wrote for your Uncle Mason. It does smell good, doesn’t it? As for why... your mom’s got no idea." Molly replied as she sat at the dining table, dishing food onto Leah’s plate."Alice’s boyfriend?" Leah blinked in surprise, curiosity gleaming in her eyes."I’ll take you to see him next time. Have you met Alice before?" Mason Morgan asked with a smile."

"You're so annoying. You clearly know what I mean, yet you're pretending not to."Alice gave Joseph a playful punch on the chest, her voice tinged with flirtatious reproach.Joseph took a moment to process her words. It was only then that the meaning registered."Ahem... so, do you want to?" He asked softly, a faint blush coloring his cheeks.Upon hearing this, Alice buried her face shyly into Joseph's chest."I don't know. I've never tried it... so I want to. I just don't know what it feels like." Her voice was barely audible, muffled against his chest. Though her dorm mates often joked lewdly, this was the first time she had ever talked about such things with a man.She wasn’t even sure where her courage had come from—to say these things to Joseph."So that means you do want to." Seeing her bashful expression, Joseph suddenly found himself less embarrassed."Sometimes I think about it..." Alice murmured, then added with uncharacteristic boldness, "That old hag Mason Alvarez said
