The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 31: I Really Am Ill
"Isn't that Jonathan, the one always following Raymond Kim? What's he up to now? Is he planning something nefarious? I can't let him," Alice frowned, irritated by Raymond Kim's persistent harassment.As she moved to get out of the car, Joseph gently held her back. "Let it go. They're probably targeting me. If it's just me, it's fine.""Why would they target you? That's even worse! What if they try to harm you?" Alice protested."Trust me, it's alright. I can handle this," Joseph assured her with a smile.Reluctantly, Alice relented under Joseph's insistence."They've lost their minds. Why target you?" Alice muttered, frustrated."It's probably because a certain silly girl told everyone I'm her boyfriend today. She doesn't realize how beautiful she is or how many admirers she has. I'm in for some trouble now," Joseph sighed, instinctively tapping Alice's nose.This casual, natural gesture suddenly brought tears to Alice's eyes."Hey, don't cry. I'm fine, really. These people can't do a

"Ahem... Richard, calm down. Even if it were a serious illness, you need to listen to me first. Don't jump to conclusions, alright? You're not a young man anymore. How can you be so easily rattled?" Tristan said calmly."Well... alright, Uncle Flores. Go ahead, I'm listening. I'm prepared for anything. I'm old enough now, I can handle it," Richard said, sitting back down, his expression grim. He couldn't help but think bitterly, "Of course you're not worried—you're not the one who's ill. Why is everyone in this hospital so nonchalant?""Your condition could be minor or severe," Tristan Flores remarked, examining the X-ray films.Richard Anderson, his complexion still pallid, replied, "Please, Uncle Flores, tell me what you've found.""We've caught it in its early stages. With prompt treatment, you should make a full recovery. However, if left untreated, it could progress to a more serious condition. You ought to be grateful to that young man. Without his warning, this ailment might ha
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 33: What’s the Reward?
Joseph was lost in thought as he absentmindedly dried his hair and stepped out of the bathroom. Just then, his phone buzzed from the living room, vibrating insistently.He glanced around and noticed that Alice had already retreated to her room. Perhaps this girl was just teasing him earlier. Shaking his head, he picked up his phone and saw an unfamiliar number on the screen. The caller ID indicated it was from Nova City.Joseph frowned slightly. There weren’t many people in Nova City who had his number, and although he was puzzled, he answered the call."Hello, who’s this?" Joseph asked."Mr. Wilson, it’s me!"The voice on the other end sounded eager, almost elated."It’s you? And... who might that be?" Joseph rolled his eyes, already wary that this might be some kind of scam call."It’s Richard Anderson! You know, from the Health Bureau today," the man quickly clarified, realizing his earlier vagueness."Oh, it’s you. So, what’s up?" Joseph asked casually, sipping some water as he sp

"Ta-da, a reward!"At that moment, Alice, who had been hiding her hands behind her back, revealed a colorful lollipop.Joseph stared at the lollipop, momentarily taken aback."A lollipop?"He was dumbfounded."Yes! It’s your favorite kind, just like mine. We both have a sweet tooth," Alice said with complete seriousness.Joseph didn’t respond immediately but accepted the lollipop, examining it carefully."I never would’ve guessed I enjoyed these so much in the past," he said with a slightly awkward smile."Of course you did! You’ve just forgotten. But Joseph, one day, you’ll remember everything," Alice replied earnestly."Yeah, actually, I’ve started recalling a lot of things over the past few days.""By the way, I’ve got a meeting with a friend later. I might be home a little late," Joseph said to Alice."Be careful tonight, and if you’re drinking, don’t overdo it. Just come back after you’re done. Don’t worry, I know how to give a man his space.""Alright, I’m off," Alice said with
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 35: That Kind of Reward Isn’t Off the Table
After Fiona returned to her room, Maria Long continued watching TV. However, after only a few minutes, her stomach grumbled noisily."My cooking really can’t compare to that useless man’s... I can’t keep living like this. Tomorrow, I’ll definitely visit the domestic service agency and hire a chef or a housekeeper," she muttered to herself.---Nova City, "Usual Place" Barbecue Restaurant**Joseph parked his car a little way from the restaurant, careful to choose a spot that wasn’t too conspicuous. There were parking spaces closer to the barbecue joint, but his car was far too extravagant. He didn’t want Heidi to see it; she would bombard him with questions, and he didn’t want the hassle.Even so, a million-dollar car tends to attract attention, no matter where it’s parked."Hey, could I get your number?"A young woman in a tight-fitting skirt, tall and curvaceous, approached him. Her large hoop earrings swayed as she walked, and her wavy hair cascaded over her shoulders. Her eyes glea

"Alright, I’ll leave you to it," the owner said before walking off.At that very moment, a taxi pulled up in front of the barbecue restaurant. A striking young woman stepped out and hurried toward Joseph after spotting him.It was, of course, Heidi Cooper."Finally, I made it! I’m starving," Heidi panted as she sat down, immediately grabbing the tea from the table and gulping it down."Why the rush? That’s the tea for rinsing your cup," Joseph said, bemused."I don’t care. At this point, it doesn’t matter. So, did you order anything yet?" Heidi asked eagerly."Yeah, I’ve ordered some things. Take a look. Start with some of the mains, and later I’ll make you something special," Joseph said, pouring her another cup of tea."Oh, Joseph! I’ve missed your cooking so much," Heidi said, her voice softening with appreciation.Just as she finished speaking, plates of cumin lamb ribs and cold beef salad arrived at the table."Wow, you’re amazing! You always remember my favorite dishes," Heidi e

"Every month during your cycle, you experience severe pain, don’t you?" Joseph asked casually."Uh... well, that’s pretty common, right? It’s just a matter of probability. Most women I know go through it. It’s nothing unusual," Heidi replied, a bit startled."Joseph, I think you’re just guessing," she added with a playful smirk, resting her delicate chin in her hand as she looked at him teasingly."Two days from now, your cycle will start. Your pain isn’t the typical cramping most women experience. Yours feels like constant stabbing, doesn’t it? That’s different from what most women feel," Joseph continued, undeterred.Heidi’s expression shifted immediately."How... how do you know that? You’re right. My pain is different," she admitted, her tone more serious now."And during those days, you have nightmares. When you wake up, your mouth feels bitter. But once your cycle is over, the symptoms disappear. Am I right?" Joseph pressed on."You’re exactly right. But how did you know all tha

"Got it. I knew you’d be showing off your cooking skills tonight," the barbecue shop owner called out."The usual deal—charge me the regular price," Joseph added."No problem. This isn’t the first time, I know how it goes," the owner chuckled."Hey, man, I saw you cook last time. You’ve got some serious skills. That grilled fish you made—it looked and smelled amazing," said a middle-aged man sitting at a nearby table, his tone warm and friendly."Yeah, I was lucky enough to try it. This guy’s cooking is something else," echoed another diner."Not to say the barbecue owner here isn’t great—his skills are top-notch—but this guy’s on a whole different level.""Is he really that good? He must be a professional chef, right?""Professional? Even professionals can’t always make food like that."The chatter around the tables grew louder.Joseph was a regular at the barbecue shop, and on occasion, he’d step behind the grill himself. Quite a few people there knew him, and some had even had the
