“What nonsense are you talking about? Things aren’t nearly that simple,” Joseph said, his face flushing slightly.“But what if it really is that simple?” Mason Alvarez teased with a grin.“What—did your conscience suddenly wake up? Afraid you’d be letting us down?”“There is some pressure, I’ll admit,” Joseph replied honestly.“Hehe, no need to feel pressured,” Mason Alvarez said cheerfully.“From now on, the girl and I will keep a very tight rein on you. No more flirting around for you.”Hearing this, Joseph was left speechless. It wasn’t that he had ever intended things to turn out this way, but life had a way of unfolding through chance and coincidence. Many things were simply beyond the control of any one person.The two chatted casually along the way, and before they realized it, they were already home.No sooner had they arrived than Joseph received a message from Lincoln Myers.“Professor Wilson, the place is set. I’m sending you the location.”A moment later, a location pin ca

“I promised the two of them earlier, so of course I’ll help,” Joseph said calmly.“I’ve just been rather busy lately and didn’t manage to get around to it.”“But this matter itself isn’t particularly complicated—just a couple of prescriptions and some proper conditioning should do.”Hearing this, Joseph spoke with complete confidence.“So it’s that simple?”Lincoln Myers and Malcolm Gray exchanged glances, both clearly pleased by what they saw in each other’s eyes.“Well, simple and not simple at the same time,” Joseph continued.“The key lies in the prescription—one that only I have.”“But a formula on paper is lifeless. I need to see your individual conditions and make adjustments, so I can’t prescribe anything just yet.”“Then how about we set another time,” Lincoln Myers suggested. “You can take a proper look at the two of us.”“That works,” Joseph agreed without hesitation.“How about tomorrow at noon? Professor Wilson, are you free?” Lincoln Myers proposed.“Professor Gray and I

The professors, senior faculty, and university executives formed small groups as they made their way toward the hotel together.The hotel was not far from campus—no more than a two-minute walk.Soon, Joseph and the others entered the banquet hall, a venue spacious enough to accommodate two to three hundred guests.The gathering itself was not meant to be particularly formal. After Geoffrey Harris delivered a few brief remarks from the stage, the banquet was officially underway.During the meal, Joseph found himself the target of countless toasts, all of which he returned in kind.Fortunately, his tolerance for alcohol was fairly solid—otherwise, he might already have been passed out by now.“Professor Alvarez, you might have to drive later.”“You haven’t been drinking, have you?”Joseph asked Mason Alvarez quietly at his side.“I haven’t. I don’t care for hard liquor—red wine is fine, but that’s it.”“I’ll drive later, don’t worry.”“But you should still watch yourself. Don’t drink to

“Uh… about this matter…”“Director Myers, why did you suddenly come up with such an idea?”Faced with Lincoln Myers’ unexpected proposal, Geoffrey Harris found himself in a moment of difficulty.“President, this goes against the rules. I do not agree with this proposal.”Leonard Sanchez spoke stubbornly, his tone firm.Watching the two of them argue, Joseph rubbed his forehead. Speaking up felt wrong, but staying silent felt just as awkward.In the end, he chose to play dead.“Alright, enough.”“Today’s agenda is the selection of the management team for Nova University’s Sixth Affiliated Hospital, not anything else.”“Director Myers, what you’ve suggested will not be discussed today. In a few days, I’ll personally call you both together to talk it through.”Geoffrey Harris tapped the table, bringing the two men’s argument to a halt.“President, you should understand that if Professor Wilson can hold a nominal position in our Western medicine faculty and teach a course there, it would

“Since Professor Joseph has rendered such outstanding service in this matter, he must at the very least be given an important position at Nova University’s Sixth Affiliated Hospital. Rewarding merit is a long-standing tradition of Nova University.”“Professor Wilson may be young, but his abilities are beyond question. Moreover, our decisive victory in this year’s admissions recruitment—surpassing both Metropolis City University and Westfield University—owed a great deal to Professor Wilson’s efforts. We should entrust him with greater responsibility and provide him with broader opportunities and a larger stage.”“Although Nova University has never had such a young director of an affiliated hospital, selecting talent without regard to convention is not without precedent.”“Everyone says Professor Wilson is young, yet they forget that when our predecessors marched into the desert to forge swords for the nation, they were of similar age. Great achievements are often made in one’s youth.”

“I’m fine. It was just a dream—but the dreams are becoming clearer.”“That little girl… she called me ‘uncle.’”Joseph shook his head as he spoke.“Could she be someone from your master’s family?”“Even though your master never mentioned having relatives, it doesn’t rule out the possibility.”Alice thought for a moment before speaking.“That’s possible.”“Someone I’ve never met wouldn’t just appear in my dreams for no reason.”“When I see her, I always feel a mix of heartache and despair, as if an enormous secret is hidden behind her.”Joseph nodded.“Brother Joseph, don’t dwell on it for now. Just like the old woman said, you need someone to guide you.”“That Brian Adams—doesn’t he know about you and your master? You could ask him.”Alice suggested.“That’s all I can do.”“Once the meeting is over and everything else is arranged, I’ll go look for him.”Joseph nodded.“Then forget about the dream for now. I’ll make you something tasty.”A sweet smile bloomed across Alice’s delicate fa
