Chapter 802
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

“No matter what happens, we’ll stay by your side.”“Come on, have a meat bun.”Mason Alvarez spoke calmly as she picked up a meat bun and placed it into Joseph’s bowl. Joseph lowered his head and began to eat as well.Over the next two or three days, Joseph either stayed at home with Alice and Mason Alvarez, or went out with them to wander around.They rarely traveled far—everything stayed within the boundaries of Nova City. Aside from visiting scenic spots, most of their time was spent shopping together or dining out.In truth, because of the matter of the “dream,” both Alice and Mason Alvarez had been deliberately giving Joseph extra attention these past few days.The two of them seemed to be intentionally trying to cheer him up, which left Joseph deeply moved.To have wives like this—what more could a man ask for? And he had two.As for Peggy’s condition, Joseph called Dr. Forrest almost every day to ask about her progress, and even video-called Peggy to check on her himself.Overa

“We can talk to her over breakfast later. After all, you’re right.”Joseph pondered for a moment before speaking.“Then I’ll go prepare something for you to eat. You should take a bath and relax a bit.”Seeing that Joseph didn’t seem to be in the best spirits, Alice said gently, with thoughtful concern.“I’m fine. My mental state isn’t affected.”“It’s just that I dreamed and sweated a lot.”“But I’m very clear about this—it’s not a physical issue.”“Generally speaking, people with a weak constitution tend to have nightmares and cold sweats, but what I had wasn’t a cold sweat.”Joseph shook his head.“As long as you’re fine, that’s all that matters. There’s no need to dwell on it—everything will fall into place naturally.”“Alright, let’s get up. After breakfast, we can go out for a walk.”Alice leaned in and kissed Joseph.After lingering for a while, the two finally got out of bed.Since he had sweated quite a bit, Joseph still went to the bathroom for a quick shower.After finishin
