"It’s a good thing we’re early?""Mr. Harris, is something the matter?"Joseph noticed the urgency in Harris’s tone and raised an eyebrow."Here’s the situation. Professor Leonard Sanchez from the medical department was supposed to give a lecture today. It’s a really important one for students in the field, especially for graduate students researching related topics.""But Professor Sanchez just informed us that something urgent came up, and he won’t be able to make it. I’m scrambling to find someone to fill in for him. The lecture is more than two hours long, but if we can get someone to cover the first hour, that would help.""Professor Sanchez will be back after an hour and can take over then."Geoffrey Harris looked visibly troubled."Couldn’t you just delay the lecture by an hour? Or reschedule it?"Joseph frowned slightly."Delaying isn’t an option. The medical students have other classes, and we can’t ask them to disrupt their entire schedule for this one lecture.""And resched

"Alright, don’t concern yourself too much with Mr. Wilson’s background. Just know that having him here is an honor for this university."Geoffrey Harris patted the assistant on the shoulder and then left the office.The assistant stood there, stunned by Harris’s words, unable to process what she had just heard.Nova University, Second Teaching Building, Room 302, Multimedia Classroom.At this moment, the large lecture hall, capable of seating hundreds, was already full."The assistant came by earlier to tell us that Old Mr. Sanchez had a last-minute emergency and won’t be able to make it. The president found a substitute teacher for us.""No way! I came here specifically for Professor Leonard Sanchez. My graduate thesis has hit a roadblock, and I really needed his guidance. What am I supposed to do now?""Why don’t you try asking the substitute?""Didn’t the assistant say the substitute teacher is young? How could he possibly compare to Professor Sanchez?""Is the university seriously

"My name is Joseph Wilson. The papers and research I’ve published are related to cutting-edge academic topics that most of you have yet to encounter.""Of course, if anyone is interested, you can search for my work in the top academic databases. My research spans fields such as biomedicine, nuclear physics, and financial economics, among others.""Now, I understand that words alone aren’t enough to earn your trust. I also realize that without your trust, it would be difficult for any of you to focus on the rest of today’s lecture."Joseph smiled as he spoke, his tone steady."Mr. Wilson, it’s not that we don’t trust you. It’s just that your credentials sound too extraordinary to be true.""Exactly. With Mr. Harris’s endorsement, we know we should trust you, and we will listen. But we’d really like to see if you’re as impressive as he says.""Yeah, Mr. Wilson, why don’t you show us what you’ve got?"The students became increasingly animated, their interest piqued.Seeing this, Fiona sm

"I don’t know, but I can certainly try."Joseph’s smile remained, offering no definitive answer."Mr. Wilson, I never realized you were such a braggart. I hadn’t noticed before."Fiona’s lips curled into a mocking smile.Joseph merely glanced at her, saying nothing."Why don’t you demonstrate for us, teacher? We’d love to see it.""Yes, teacher, you can’t just talk the talk!""Try it now, Mr. Wilson!""..."The students’ enthusiasm only grew."I can try, but please, everyone quiet down."Joseph agreed, and at once the room fell silent."Mr. Wilson, are you sure about this? Piercing a needle three centimeters into wood—that’s a lot of force. I’ve never seen anyone do it before.""Even if a needle has some rigidity, it’s hard to imagine it could be driven that deep into solid wood."Even Geoffrey Harris, who had been supportive of Joseph, now seemed skeptical."Those in the back, move forward a little; it’ll give you a better view.""Now, take a good look. These classroom desks are soli
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 59: Thoroughly Convinced
But the moment he finished speaking, the room plunged into awkward silence. No one moved. After all, they had just witnessed how Joseph’s needles could shatter solid wood...For a long moment, no one stepped forward."What, no volunteers?""In that case, I’ll have to randomly select someone."At those words, the atmosphere in the room grew tense in an instant.What was Mr. Wilson thinking? Was he serious about risking someone’s life?"You there, come be my target. You seemed to be enjoying yourself earlier."Joseph’s gaze swept across the room before settling on a young man with a dark complexion.As soon as Joseph spoke, a wave of snickers rippled through the classroom.The young man’s face darkened even more at Joseph’s words. Already dark-skinned, he now looked as though he might burst into tears."Mr. Wilson, surely you’ve made a mistake! I wasn’t laughing!"The young man’s voice trembled with unease."Are you certain? The needles I’m holding aren’t limited to just three."Joseph

He turned to find a stranger approaching him."Why aren’t you in class? Is there something you need?"Geoffrey asked, puzzled."Mr. Harris, my name is Fiona. I’m a graduate student under Professor Sanchez, and I’m very confused right now."Fiona was slightly out of breath, clearly in a hurry."What’s troubling you? Perhaps I can help."Geoffrey nodded, indicating for her to continue."Mr. Harris, do you truly know who Joseph is?"Fiona’s expression was serious as she spoke."Are you suggesting you know Joseph better than I do?"Geoffrey raised an eyebrow, sensing something unusual in her words."Mr. Harris, I’m certain I know Joseph far better than you do."Fiona’s voice was resolute."Oh? And what makes you say that? If you truly know Joseph, then enlighten me—how well do you know Mr. Wilson?"Geoffrey’s curiosity was piqued. There seemed to be more to this than he had initially thought."Joseph is my husband. I know everything about him. Based on what I know, he has no qualification

Fiona stood there, momentarily stunned, unsure of how to respond."Fiona, if you truly want to understand Mr. Wilson, I’ll leave you with this: for most teachers, being hired by Nova University is a great honor. But for Joseph Wilson to teach here, it is Nova University that is honored."Geoffrey Harris exhaled slowly before delivering his final, solemn statement.Fiona stood rooted in place, her mind reeling from the weight of his words, unable to fully process what she had just heard."Fiona Cooper, instead of standing here questioning a man you clearly don’t know, perhaps it would be better to set aside your preconceptions and return to class. Listen carefully to what Mr. Wilson has to teach. This lesson might be more important than you realize.""And if you open your mind, you might just discover a very different Joseph Wilson—someone who is charismatic, knowledgeable, and far more remarkable than you ever imagined. Engaging with him is like being refreshed by a gentle spring bree

"It’s a bit unfortunate that I won’t be teaching you permanently. If I were more than just a substitute, your courses would include not only theoretical lessons but also practical training.""As future doctors, you need to face patients and illnesses directly. Clinical experience is far more valuable than any theory."Joseph took a sip of water, speaking casually."Mr. Wilson, could you co-teach with Professor Sanchez? I feel like clinical training with you would be fascinating.""Yeah, yeah, talk to Professor Sanchez! We’d love to have you teach us more!""I really appreciate your unique way of thinking, Mr. Wilson. It’s always so refreshing...""..."The students eagerly expressed their hopes and wishes."Thank you for your kind words. However, the courses I’ll teach in the future will be determined by the school’s scheduling.""We’ve been at this for over an hour now. Let’s take a short break and resume afterward."Joseph checked the time and addressed the class.With that, he pick

"Naturally!" Philip Anderson immediately turned to Lindsay Anderson and said, "Lindsay, fetch the pen, ink, and paper!" Lindsay nodded obediently and quickly retrieved the requested items, placing them neatly on the table. "Professor Wilson, please enlighten us!" Philip Anderson gestured invitingly, his respect for Joseph evident. "Then I shall do my best." Joseph picked up the brush, dipped it lightly in ink, and began to write on the blank sheet of paper. He preferred to write prescriptions with a brush, believing that medicine was not only a science but also an art. To him, prescribing medicine and saving lives were acts of profound significance, deserving of a certain ceremonial reverence. As Joseph wrote the names of the first two ingredients, the room collectively gasped in astonishment. "Professor Wilson, your handwriting is extraordinary!" Richard Anderson couldn’t help but blurt out, visibly impressed. Even Philip Anderson and Tristan Flores were captivated. The stren

"I’ve just had more opportunities to practice over the years. It’s nothing worth mentioning," Joseph replied modestly. "Professor Wilson, how about giving us a demonstration?" Tristan Flores suddenly suggested. "A demonstration? What do you have in mind?" Joseph asked with a smile. "Professor Wilson, Richard just got out of the hospital. How about you check him over to see if there’s anything else wrong with him? Let us witness your skills firsthand." Philip Anderson’s tone carried a hint of anticipation. "Sure, that’s simple enough," Joseph agreed with a slight smile. "Great! Professor Wilson, please take a good look at me. Let me know if there’s anything I need to watch out for so I don’t run into trouble later," Richard chimed in, immediately sitting down in front of Joseph. Joseph reached out, ready to take Richard’s pulse. But just as he was about to begin, Philip Anderson interrupted him. "Hold on, Professor Wilson. Let me go first." "I haven’t taken his pulse since h

“Don’t you think Professor Wilson is incredibly young?” Laura said, peeking out the window to glance at Joseph’s car. “That’s obvious, isn’t it? You don’t need to point it out,” Richard replied, growing impatient. “He’s young, talented, and good-looking. He’s not much older than our daughter,” Laura continued, her tone thoughtful. “That car out there—that’s his, right? It’s beautiful. Must’ve cost a fortune.” “Of course, it’s a luxury vehicle. Easily worth a million. If we sold our house, we might just be able to afford it. What, are you interested in him now?” Richard joked. “You’re so inappropriate! Do I look like someone who’d attract a man like him?!” Laura shot back, punching him lightly on the shoulder. “Then what’s the point of all this?” Richard asked with a chuckle. “Didn’t you notice the way our daughter was looking at Professor Wilson? There’s something… peculiar about it,” Laura said, a sly smile spreading across her face. “Peculiar? How so? I didn’t notice anythin

Joseph nodded and started the car, driving into the complex. He had to admit, the neighborhood was indeed large. While its size wasn’t an issue, the sheer number of turns and side streets made it easy to get lost. Without someone guiding him, he might have spent ages circling around. The area itself wasn’t particularly upscale, and the buildings showed signs of age. However, the maintenance was impeccable, and the surroundings exuded a quiet charm. Considering Richard Anderson’s profession, Joseph guessed that most of the residents here were likely public servants—teachers, civil servants, and the like. “Turn right up ahead, then left, and then another right. We’re almost there,” Lindsay instructed. “Got it.” Joseph followed her directions, maneuvering the car carefully through the winding streets. A few minutes later, they arrived at a spacious clearing. Ahead, near the roadside, stood a three-story house. The house was sizable, with a well-maintained garden in the front. The

“So, according to you, your Mason Alvarez has a strong sense of ‘romantic ethics’? She’d actually ask permission before stealing someone’s boyfriend?” Joseph couldn’t resist mocking her logic. “Believe it or not, that’s just the kind of person she is.” “Look at the shirt she bought you. Or the way she interacts with you. She’s completely honest and direct with people she’s comfortable with. But not many people get to know her well enough to see that side of her. Sometimes, I think she’s a little pitiful. Someone like her must feel so lonely.” Alice sighed softly, her voice tinged with genuine sympathy. “You’re too kind and too pure for your own good, kiddo.” Joseph chuckled as he reached out to ruffle her hair affectionately. “By the way, tomorrow afternoon, I need to stop by a student’s house to pick up a set of silver needles. I’ll also be staying for dinner. Let me know when your classes end so I can pick you up.” Joseph decided it was best to let Alice know in advance. “Hu

“Can you imagine a woman who doesn’t like shopping, doesn’t enjoy socializing, and spends all her time going back and forth between her office and the lab? That’s Mason Alvarez. She’s incredibly hardworking.” Alice explained with a laugh, but her tone carried genuine admiration for Mason Alvarez. “That may be true, but does that justify buying me this shirt? Is this really something an adult would do?” Joseph gestured at the Mickey Mouse print on his chest, utterly exasperated. “Why don’t you ever buy me something like this?” He shot Alice a pointed look. “Because I’m different. I’ve been observing you since we were kids—I know what you like to eat, what habits you have, and what kind of clothes suit you. I even browse shopping websites sometimes to figure out what styles would look good on you.” “Stuff like this isn’t something you’re born knowing. It takes time and effort.” Alice’s explanation was matter-of-fact, but her tone was warm. “You actually spend time researching t

Watching him leave, Mason blinked a few times, then returned to her work. Ten minutes later, Joseph sent Mason a photo. It was a picture of the shirt she’d bought him. On the right side of the chest was a cheerful, oversized Mickey Mouse graphic. “Professor Alvarez, do you even know how to shop for men’s clothes? What is this? Do you think a man in his twenties should be wearing something like this?” Joseph’s tone was filled with disbelief as he stared at himself in the mirror, his face dark with frustration. “Uh… I guess I don’t. Didn’t I tell you I’ve never had a boyfriend? The only man I’ve ever bought clothes for is my dad.” “You specifically told me not to buy something that looks like something my dad would wear, so I thought I’d go for something youthful. Don’t you think Mickey Mouse is cute?” Mason genuinely thought she’d made a thoughtful choice. “Youthful? This doesn’t make me look youthful—it makes me look childish!” Joseph was utterly exasperated. He was starting

Joseph looked up briefly, noting her troubled demeanor. What was with this woman? She’d gone out looking fine and returned with the weight of the world on her shoulders. As he pondered this, his phone vibrated softly. Joseph casually took a sip of water and picked up his phone, only to freeze as he saw the message on Facebook. “Professor Wilson, let’s go on a blind date.” The words stared back at him. “Pfft—cough, cough, cough…” Joseph choked on his water, nearly spraying it everywhere.“What’s wrong, Professor Wilson?” Mason Alvarez turned to Joseph, her expression all innocence. “Nothing, just choked on some water.” Joseph waved his hand dismissively, clearly exasperated. “Oh, in that case, carry on drinking.” Hearing this, Mason turned her attention back to her work, seemingly unconcerned. “Professor Wilson, would you like me to give you a couple of acupuncture needles? It’ll help you recover in no time,” Brady Rogers chimed in. “No need, thank you.” Joseph waved him o

“Director Myers, you’re absolutely right. But marriage and love are matters of fate, not something you can force. It’s not that I’m unwilling—it’s just that I haven’t met the right person yet.” Mason replied with impeccable politeness. “Not meeting the right person, that’s exactly the problem! You spend all your time buried in your office and the lab—how are you supposed to meet anyone?” “Do you remember when you were studying in Metropolis City? I mentioned our academy’s new hire, Dr. Charles Martin.” “I think you two are a perfect match. And, to be honest, Dr. Martin has a great impression of you. I was thinking of playing matchmaker—maybe set up a dinner, watch a movie, and who knows? Sparks might fly.” Lincoln’s tone was that of a well-meaning elder, full of persuasion. “Dr. Charles Martin? Yes, I remember him. You even showed me his photo before, and I added him on Facebook. I have a vague impression.” “But I’ve really been swamped lately. Dinner and movies will have to wa
