Joseph took a slow sip of his lemon water, placing the glass back on the table with a composed smile. His unhurried demeanor only served to irritate Mason Morgan. "Kid, you’ve got nothing, huh? I knew you were just full of hot air!" "But I get it. You’re trained in traditional medicine—you don’t understand modern medical practices, so you have no clue how Western medicine would treat my condition." Mason assumed Joseph’s calmness was just a stalling tactic. "Uncle Mason, I’m well-versed in traditional Chinese medicine, but I also have a solid grasp of modern medicine." "To put it plainly, I’ve mastered both worlds, East and West, past and present. In the field of andrology, my mentor was known as the ‘Saint of Men’s Health.’" "I inherited all his teachings, but I didn’t just stop there—I refined and innovated upon them. As a result, I earned the title ‘Little Saint of Men’s Health.’" "And let’s be clear—the ‘Little’ in my title isn’t because I’m inferior to my master. It’s sim

"Well, what do you think?" "If that old doctor were more skilled than me, you wouldn’t be sitting here talking to me right now. His prescription clearly didn’t meet your expectations." "That’s why you came to me—hoping I could offer a better solution." Joseph’s words were sharp and precise. Mason Morgan sighed. "That’s true." "But if even that old doctor couldn’t fully resolve my issue, are you sure you can? He seemed pretty capable." His brows furrowed in concern—after all, this was a matter that would affect the rest of his life. He couldn’t afford to take it lightly. "The old doctor does have some skill," Joseph admitted calmly, "but not much." Mason scoffed. "You sure don’t lack confidence, kid." "But talk is cheap. I still don’t know how skilled you really are. You say all the right things, but when it comes down to actual treatment, can you really deliver?" Joseph smirked. "I don’t even need to see it to know what prescription he gave you." "Got a pen and paper? Hand

"Seven times a week should be fine. Any more than that, and it might be pushing it. Just pace yourself." Joseph said casually. "Seven times a week? That much? Even at my peak, I couldn’t manage that!" Mason Morgan was utterly stunned. Joseph cast him a knowing glance. "Sounds like Uncle Mason wasn’t all that strong to begin with." "You little brat, what nonsense are you spouting now?!" Mason instantly bristled. "Just hurry up and finish writing that prescription. Less talking, more working!" Joseph smirked but didn’t argue. He simply continued writing with quiet focus. One check’s backside wasn’t enough—he had to use a second one to finish. After about twenty minutes, he finally put down his pen. "This one is the prescription, and the other contains the medical instructions. Follow them precisely, and you’ll be fine." Joseph handed both checks to Mason Morgan. Mason scanned them, recognizing a few of the ingredients but not fully understanding their effects. After all, he

The moment Joseph opened the school forum, his screen was flooded with posts about him. Nearly every trending thread pinned at the top was somehow related to him.“Youngest professor cracks a complex medical case!” “Professor Martin’s bet with Professor Wilson—will he really bow and apologize?” “Anyone got Professor Martin’s number? I want to give him a piece of my mind.” “If Professor Martin doesn’t keep his word, no one will take his class ever again.” …Every corner of the forum was plastered with threads, all revolving around Joseph and Charles Martin.He casually tapped into the post asking for Martin’s phone number. A quick glance confirmed his expectations—users had already dug up more than just his number. His home address was exposed too.The replies were brutal.“Looks like Professor Martin’s getting digitally lynched.”Joseph muttered under his breath. Martin probably never imagined his private life would be stripped bare and paraded so shamelessly on the school forum.

While Mason Alvarez was drowning in embarrassment, Joseph sat at his desk, utterly unfazed, leisurely flipping through documents and browsing references on his computer, as though the chaos around him had nothing to do with him.The sight of his calm demeanor only fueled Mason's frustration.Why was she the one being grilled by Brady Rogers and Felix Baker, while this infuriating man got to sit there, completely untouched by the storm?Fueled by indignation, she abruptly lifted her foot and stomped hard on Joseph’s.“Ouch!”Joseph yelped in pain, turning to her in disbelief.“Professor Alvarez, what the hell?! Why’d you step on my foot?”“Oh, sorry. Totally an accident.”Mason shot him a glare that said otherwise. Joseph was left speechless.“Professor Alvarez, you still haven’t answered Professor Baker’s question.”Brady Rogers reminded her, ever so helpfully.Mason nearly choked. Brady, who usually came off as the quiet one, was now joining the teasing squad? The world had truly gon

"Professor Alvarez, you misunderstood. I just didn’t control my volume," Joseph said awkwardly, trying to explain himself."Then why do you always seem so dismissive of me? Why are you constantly arguing with me? Do you have some sort of bias against me?" Mason Alvarez pressed on, clearly aggrieved."You’ve really got it wrong. Honestly, I think you’re a great person—easygoing and down-to-earth. Being around you, I don’t feel the need to put on airs." Joseph replied earnestly."Is that really how you feel?" Mason’s voice softened, her gaze growing gentler."Of course it is. Why would I lie about something like that? I wouldn’t have agreed to help you dodge that blind date otherwise, would I? And besides, you’re close with Alice. Any friend of hers is a friend of mine." Joseph spoke without hesitation."Then, Professor Wilson... why don’t we date?" Mason’s eyes sparkled mischievously as she made the unexpected suggestion.Joseph froze, completely taken aback."Hey, what’s with th

"This is a matter between teachers—it has nothing to do with you students!" Charles Martin tried to explain, his voice tense."If it has nothing to do with us, then why did you make it public?" "Exactly! Couldn’t agree more." "A teacher who doesn’t keep his word isn’t welcome at Nova University." "Yeah, own up to your bet!" "..."The voices on the other end grew louder and more chaotic."I’m done talking. I’m hanging up—I have class to get to." Charles Martin ended the call abruptly. There was no point in dragging it out any longer; he knew he wouldn’t win against this mob.He was tempted to just switch off his phone and be done with it.But school policy required teachers to keep their phones on and available during work hours, in case of emergencies or administrative contact.Charles leaned back in his chair, exhausted in both body and mind. He still had no idea who had leaked his personal information to the school forum.Buzz! Buzz!And again, the phone vibrated.Already on e

"Don’t worry, Charles. You know how close I am with your mother. If you truly like my daughter, I’ll help you. But I need you to cooperate too. You understand what I mean, don’t you?" Maria’s voice lowered meaningfully."I understand, I completely understand." A glint of satisfaction flickered in Charles Martin’s eyes as he listened to Maria Long’s words.As long as Fiona and Heidi moved into his villa, even if he couldn’t win their hearts, he was determined to possess their bodies."As long as you understand our intentions, that’s all that matters." "Alright then, we won’t keep you any longer. Let’s leave it at that for now." With the matter settled, Maria Long ended the call, her tone filled with smug contentment.After hanging up, Charles Martin’s expression darkened with a sinister edge. "Joseph, you’ve been married for three years and haven’t even touched Fiona’s hand. When I finally have her, I'll make sure to flaunt it in your face.""And Heidi—that wretched woman who’s ne

"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
