"Professor Wilson, you’re here! Come, come, have a seat—no rush, take your time. Here, have some tea first." Geoffrey Harris greeted Joseph warmly the moment he saw him. "This is from an excellent coffeehouse—give it a try," he added, pouring Joseph a cup of coffee. Joseph took a sip and nodded appreciatively. "It’s quite good." "I just called Professor Sanchez over. Once he arrives, we’ll get down to business," Geoffrey Harris continued. "Sounds good. I’ll wait," Joseph said, setting his coffee down with a slight smile. "Professor Wilson, how’s your teaching going lately? How does it feel to be a professor?" Geoffrey Harris started making small talk. "It’s been going well. The students are enthusiastic, and the work is smooth—though I’d say that’s mostly thanks to their cooperation," Joseph replied modestly. "Ah, Professor Wilson, I have to disagree with you there! It’s not just about the students cooperating—it’s about your exceptional expertise." "I’ve not only heard abou

"Since the inquiry has been issued, we must conduct an investigation. After gathering our findings, we’ll need to submit a formal report to the higher authorities." "This investigation won’t just focus on Charles Martin’s actions last Saturday—it will also cover his professional history, educational background, academic achievements, and more. Everything must be thoroughly reviewed." "Therefore, we need to establish an investigation committee." Geoffrey Harris stated decisively. "An investigation committee… Don’t tell me I’m going to be on it?" Joseph raised an eyebrow, finding the situation rather amusing. Him investigating Charles Martin? Now, that was something he never saw coming. "Professor Wilson, you managed to wake Old Mr. Cooper. You’re more than qualified to be on this committee." "You were directly involved in the incident, and besides, isn’t the Modern Medical College currently investigating you as well?" Leonard Sanchez was quick to express his support for Joseph

"This kid—why should he be part of the investigation team? He himself might have issues! How can he possibly be an investigator?" Lincoln Myers shot a pointed look at Joseph, his voice filled with skepticism. Joseph, however, merely chuckled. "Director Myers, I originally had no interest in getting involved in this matter, but now that you've questioned me like this, I find myself quite intrigued." His tone was deliberately teasing. Hearing Joseph’s infuriating response, Lincoln Myers’s temper flared instantly. Seeing the smug grin on Joseph’s face only made him want to throw a punch at him. "You little brat, you just love going against me, don’t you?" He fumed. "You were the one who started going against me first," Joseph replied with a smirk. "Alright, enough. Stop arguing." "Director Myers, listen to me." Geoffrey Harris waved a hand, cutting off their bickering. "Professor Wilson is not only a direct witness to this medical incident, but he was also Old Mr. Cooper’s at

"You… You—!" Joseph’s words had left Lincoln Myers fuming. Not only was he livid, but more importantly, he had no retort—because, well, Joseph wasn’t wrong. He was both bald and overweight. "Alright, don’t get too worked up—anger isn’t good for your health. It’s bad to lose your temper so often." Joseph spoke with the air of someone offering sincere advice. Then, without waiting for a response, he turned and strolled away. "You brat, just you wait! You won’t get away with this!" Lincoln Myers shouted after him, but all he could do was glare at Joseph’s retreating figure before stomping off in frustration. Inside the office, Geoffrey Harris had overheard their argument. He could only shake his head helplessly. The relationship between the Traditional Medicine Department and the Modern Medical College had always been tense. Ever since Joseph’s arrival, things had escalated further. And now, Joseph had directly clashed with Lincoln Myers. In the Medical College, most professors

"It's me—Mason Morgan! Mason Morgan! Do you get it now?" A slightly exasperated voice came through the phone. "Then say it clearly next time. My hearing isn't great—I can’t always distinguish voices over the phone." Joseph responded deliberately. "You’re not hard of hearing—you’re just doing this on purpose." Mason Morgan snapped. "Uncle Mason, how could you say that about me?" "Anyway, did you call because you've finally come around?" Joseph asked directly. "Is there anyone with you right now? Is Alice nearby?" Mason Morgan’s tone was cautious. "No, I'm alone. Just say whatever it is you need to say." Joseph replied. "This isn't something that can be explained over the phone. Why don't you come out now so we can talk in person?" Mason Morgan hesitated, sounding somewhat troubled. "Not happening. I haven’t even had lunch yet." Joseph rejected the proposal outright, his tone full of reluctance. "Lunch? Forget that! You think I’d let you go hungry? Just name a place—pic

"Thank you, Alice. In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony," Mason Alvarez said with a smile. Joseph had yet to pick up his chopsticks, but she had already started eating, fully embodying the meaning of being unreserved.Joseph took a bite as well, nodding slightly in approval, offering Alice generous praise for her cooking. There was no denying it—her culinary skills had improved remarkably. "Oh, by the way, your dad called me earlier. He wants to see me after lunch," Joseph mentioned casually as he ate. "My dad? What does he want with you?" Alice asked, surprised. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Does this mean you two have already met the parents? When’s the wedding? And when can I expect to hold your baby?" Mason Alvarez teased, a playful smirk on her face. Though she joked, there was a hint of envy in her heart—perhaps even a trace of melancholy. Alice was only eighteen, yet she had already introduced her boyfriend to her father. And what about herself? Why was it that she could never seem

"So, how do you think my conversation with him went?" Felix Baker smiled, throwing the question back at Mason Alvarez."Looks like it went pretty well—you've got a smile on your face," Mason replied casually.Felix chuckled. "It was quite enjoyable, actually. You’ve heard about all the mess Charles Martin has gotten himself into, right? Well, Director Myers' opinion of him has definitely taken a nosedive." He lowered his voice slightly—after all, discussing other professors in public wasn’t exactly appropriate.Mason’s eyes lit up. "So that means I don’t have to go on that blind date with Charles Martin anymore?" "Of course not! What’s so great about him anyway? He’s just a fool. Professor Wilson is leagues ahead of him." Felix spoke with sincerity."That’s a relief! Thanks, Professor. This whole thing had been stressing me out." Mason sighed in genuine gratitude.Felix waved it off. "No need to thank me; it was nothing. Anyway, I’m off to grab some food—you go ahead with whatever

"Oh, stop it! Don’t ask me that—you’re so shameless!" Alice covered her face, utterly embarrassed. Every time Mason Alvarez probed her with these kinds of questions, her cheeks would burn as if set ablaze. "Oh, please! You’ve been living together for so long—who would believe that nothing has happened between you two?" Mason teased with a mischievous grin. "It’s true! Joseph said he wants to wait for the right moment," Alice murmured, her voice growing softer as she buried her face deeper into her hands. "Tsk tsk, waiting for a special moment? Who would’ve thought Wilson was such a traditional man? He really doesn’t seem the type," Mason mused, clearly surprised. "Honestly, I think it’s kind of sweet," Alice said in a hushed tone. Mason draped an arm around Alice’s shoulders, her voice laced with playful mischief. "Listen, little one, a man only truly belongs to you once he’s in your grasp—understand?" Alice blinked in confusion. "What do you mean by that, Mason?" "It’s simpl

"Even from a short distance, you can catch a whiff of a strange, foul mixture of odors. It’s obvious this man is addicted to debauchery, steeped in nightlife excess. He’s riddled with various venereal diseases—he's utterly filthy.""So, it's best to stay as far away from people like him as possible. Many diseases are contagious," Joseph said with a faint smile."My grandfather once took me to dinner with his father, and he was there too. Was I in danger back then?" Alice asked, a flicker of fear crossing her face."It's not that serious. Most diseases of that nature require intimate contact to spread. A shared meal isn't enough. You’re perfectly healthy—there’s nothing to worry about.""But keeping your distance is still wise," Joseph added reassuringly."Phew, that's a relief," Alice exhaled deeply."Joseph, by what you’re saying, Raymond Kim doesn't have long to live," Alice said, half-joking but with a trace of genuine concern."Not necessarily that he'll die soon, but he’l

Even before the final bell, Joseph was already sitting in his car, waiting patiently for Alice. He sat quietly, glancing idly into the left rearview mirror—only to spot a few familiar figures reflected within.Seeing the situation, Joseph reached out and adjusted the rearview mirror, giving himself a clearer view of the people behind the car. At that moment, on the balcony of the First Teaching Building, a few students stood, their gazes cold and sharp, fixed on Joseph’s car.Joseph recognized them all. Leading the group was Raymond Kim, flanked by his ever-present sidekick—someone named Jonathan, if he recalled correctly. Another figure was Scrappy, a non-student who Joseph had once taught a painful lesson. University campuses were generally open spaces; unless someone behaved outrageously, outsiders wouldn't be barred entry.What surprised Joseph was the presence of Griffin Bailey, who had relentlessly pursued Heidi before. Yet, thinking it through, it made sense—both Griffin'

"What do you mean 'looks like'? That's clearly Mr. Wilson—my former brother-in-law, mind you!" After watching for a while, Heidi spoke with absolute certainty."Are you really that sure, Heidi?" A short-haired girl glanced at her, skeptical."Of course I am! I lived under the same roof with him for three years. I can recognize his speech patterns, his every little habit and gesture without even thinking. Even if there are many things about him that I don't fully understand, I'm too familiar with who he is. I can even recognize his scent the moment he gets close.""So yeah, I'm a hundred percent sure—that's my brother-in-law. Well... ex-brother-in-law," Heidi declared, her tone firm."Geez! Honestly, it sounds like those three years, Wilson wasn't married to your sister at all, but to you," Daphne teased, a strange feeling rising in her heart. The intimacy between Heidi and Joseph, the depth of her understanding of him, seemed almost excessive—far beyond what normal relatives or ev

"Hello? Uncle Mason? What’s the matter?"Joseph answered the call, taking the initiative to speak first."My dear future son-in-law, are you alone right now?"Mason Morgan’s voice came through the line, sounding a little secretive."Uh, yeah. I’m the only one in the office at the moment. Everyone else is off—some are teaching, some are in the lab, and others are running errands."Joseph glanced around before replying."Good, that’s perfect. I’ve got a rather private question for you."Mason sounded visibly relieved."Sure, Uncle Mason. Ask whatever you want."Joseph blinked in surprise, but responded casually."Remember how you said my body would recover most of its function within three days?"Mason began cautiously."I did say something to that effect, yes."Joseph nodded, recalling the conversation."You definitely said it. So I want to ask—were you being serious?"Mason pressed."Of course I was serious. If it comes out of my mouth, it’s the truth. I don’t make empty promises.""B

"Mr. Wilson, about that request you made earlier—to compile my wife's medical records—I stayed up last night and got it all done."Brady Rogers cleared his throat, his tone unusually eager."Oh? That fast? Where are the documents? Let me take a look."Joseph was a bit surprised—he hadn’t expected Rogers to be so efficient."Right here.""Please have a look, Mr. Wilson."As he spoke, Brady lifted a thick stack of folders from beneath his desk."Just leave it on my table. I’ll go through it and let you know."Joseph glanced at the pile of medical records and CT scans. Even skimming it would take considerable time."Much appreciated, Mr. Wilson."Brady placed the documents in front of Joseph but didn’t make any move to leave."Professor Rogers, you don't have to wait here. Go ahead with your work—no need to tire yourself out."Joseph noticed him standing stiffly in front of his desk and tried to persuade him."It’s alright, Mr. Wilson. I’d rather wait. I’m... quite anxious, honestly."Br

Under the comment posted by the user with the James profile picture, a flood of inquisitive netizens gathered, all eager to uncover the identity of the man whose piano performance had touched their hearts so deeply.After keeping everyone in suspense long enough, the user finally revealed the answer. "I’m a student at Nova University. This gentleman is our teacher—Mr. Joseph Wilson. At least, I’m fairly certain it’s him." "Whoa, no wonder! Turns out he’s a big shot from Nova University’s Music Department. That explains the brilliance. He made Butterfly Lovers sound like a divine symphony. 'Today I heard him speak through the pipa, and it felt like celestial music piercing the soul.'" "Actually, just to clarify, Mr. Joseph isn't from the Music Department. He’s the youngest faculty member in the Traditional Medicine Department—just joined less than a month ago," James replied again. "I’m also a student at Nova University. The person in the video does resemble Mr. Wilson, but not ent

"He didn’t say much—just asked me to remind you. Said it’s something important, and that you should come alone," Heidi continued."Alright then. It's getting late, and I’ve got an early class tomorrow. I should get some rest," Joseph replied."Okay, sleep well. Good night, brother-in-law," Heidi said sweetly.After exchanging goodnights, they both hung up.---The next morning, Joseph and Alice arrived at the university early.Joseph didn’t even stop by his office—he went straight to the classroom.By the time he finished teaching and returned to the office, Mason Alvarez, Felix Baker, and Brady Rogers were already there.Mason was busy working, while Felix and Brady were huddled together, whispering and seemingly engrossed in some intriguing discovery.They didn’t even notice when Joseph walked in."Mr. Wilson, I came in early today and still didn’t see you. Didn’t you have a morning class?" Mason was the first to speak."Exactly. I went straight to the classroom and skipped the offi

"I'm a doctor. Of course I know what it is," Joseph replied, clearly exasperated."As long as you know. Mr. Wilson, don’t you think I’m being especially considerate?" Mason sounded rather smug."Considerate? You’re the one who's been corrupting Alice," Joseph retorted."Corrupting her? Come on, she’s an adult. Do you really think she needs me to teach her this stuff?""I simply did what neither of you had the nerve to do. I know you’re both too shy to take the first step, so I gave you a little nudge.""Alice is a good girl. You're not planning on getting wild without protection, are you?"Mason's voice carried a sly undertone."Professor Alvarez, I’m not some irresponsible guy. You think I'd cross the line like that? I haven’t even touched her."Joseph tried to defend himself."Exactly, you haven't touched her—that is crossing the line. Not touching her is one kind of reckless. Touching her without protection is another. Know what I mean?"Mason looked like a seasoned veteran in such

"What is it? Why do I have to go to your room to see it?"Joseph raised a brow, intrigued."Just go take a shower first, alright? You’ll see."She urged him again, her tone playful."...Alright then."Joseph found it odd but didn’t press. He turned and made his way to his room.Back in his room, Joseph quickly gathered his change of clothes and headed into the bathroom.Outside, Alice was still happily munching away at her late-night feast.Joseph was still curious about what Alice wanted to show him, but figured he might as well shower first.By the time he came out, towel-drying his hair, Alice had just about finished eating."So, what was that thing you wanted to show me?" Joseph asked casually."Carry me to my room first, and I’ll show you." Alice spread her arms toward him expectantly.Joseph could only sigh and walk over.The moment he was close, Alice wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and locked her legs around his waist like a koala, clinging to him with no intention
