Joseph stood outside, his eyes fixed on the health monitor screen tracking Mr. William’s vitals. The numbers on the screen fluctuated wildly, signaling that his condition was rapidly deteriorating. Each weak, irregular heartbeat appeared on the screen, and Joseph realized that this situation couldn't continue much longer. The doctors were doing their best, but Joseph knew better than anyone: they wouldn’t be able to save Mr. William.Cold sweat began to trickle down Joseph's forehead, his heart raced—not out of fear, but from the urgent realization that he needed to act immediately. He couldn't stand still any longer. The doctors might be professionals, but they didn’t know Mr. William as he did. They didn’t understand what Mr. William needed to get through this moment.The decision was made in an instant. Joseph forcefully pushed through the crowd surrounding the hospital bed, shoving his way closer to Mr. William. The nurses and doctors looked at him with confusion and suspicion, bu
The sound of pounding echoed throughout the hallway outside the hospital room, the sharp noise like hammer blows against the walls, expressing the desperation and worry of those outside. Doctors, nurses, and even Norman were doing their best to open the door, but all their efforts were in vain. Norman stood there, pounding on the door with tears in his eyes, his face full of fear."Joseph! Open the door! Please!" Norman shouted, his voice hoarse with worry. He couldn’t understand what was happening inside, but the unease in his heart was growing stronger. Mr. William was in critical condition, and all he could think about was that his father needed the help of the doctors, not Joseph’s intervention.Next to Norman, the doctors and nurses continued banging on the door, trying every way to break the lock or force it open. They couldn’t comprehend why Joseph was doing this, and their concern for Mr. William’s life only made them more frantic.Inside the hospital room, Joseph completely i
Joseph stood in the hospital room, watching as the doctors and nurses around Mr. William attentively checked his condition. The tense and suffocating atmosphere that had filled the room just moments ago had dissipated, replaced by astonishment and disbelief. The man who had been teetering on the brink of death had now been pulled back from the edge.A wave of thoughts and emotions surged through Joseph. He knew that after this, it would be impossible to keep his knowledge of medicine a secret. Everything had played out too clearly, and he wouldn’t be able to avoid the barrage of questions from the doctors.The doctors occasionally glanced at Joseph, their eyes full of curiosity and even admiration. One of them stepped forward, his voice filled with a mixture of wonder and doubt, "This is truly a miracle!"Joseph tried to maintain a calm demeanor, but inside, he was in turmoil. He knew he couldn’t keep evading the truth, but he also didn’t want to get caught up in endless questions. “M
The doctors around Mr. William's hospital bed all had bright smiles on their faces. The tension and worry that had filled the room earlier had now dissipated, replaced by the joy of seeing Mr. William overcome his critical condition. One of the doctors stepped forward, grasping Joseph's hand firmly, his words full of gratitude and congratulations."Congratulations to the William family," the doctor said, his voice sincere and filled with enthusiasm. "Mr. William has overcome an incredibly dangerous challenge. It's truly a miracle. The William family indeed has exceptionally talented heirs!"The other doctors nodded in agreement, showering Joseph with praise. "Indeed, the William family has a long-standing tradition of talent and resilience. Joseph, you're not only skilled in business but also possess incredible medical expertise. We're honored to have witnessed this."Norman stood nearby, listening to the praises directed at Joseph, and felt a surge of pride in his heart. But at that
The sound of two people calling out to each other almost simultaneously echoed.Joseph approached, feeling the chill of the night mist. He took off his coat and draped it over Mr. Patrick’s frail shoulders.“Why aren’t you asleep yet? Why are you out here at this hour?”“I was waiting for you to come back. It’s so late, and I was worried…”Mr. Patrick’s voice was full of concern. It was like a fire that warmed Joseph’s cold heart. Mr. Patrick was the only person who made him feel that no matter how thorny and difficult the world was, there was someone who cared about him, someone who was worried for him to the point of forgetting about himself.Joseph embraced Mr. Patrick, his voice steady.“I’m fine. You don’t need to wait for me like this. Just go to bed; staying up late isn’t good for you. I promise this won’t happen again.”Joseph sighed, realizing that in the quiet of the night, when the William family was all away, he dared to show his affection for Mr. Patrick. Otherwise, he wo
Joseph gently placed the apple tree in the hole, his hands carefully covering the base of the tree with soil. His every movement was slow and careful, as if he were performing a sacred ritual. While his hands were busy with his work, his mind drifted back to a conversation he had not long ago.One afternoon, as Joseph was walking around the garden, he happened to come across Mrs. An, the loyal old maid, meticulously tending to the flower bushes near the fence. Mrs. An had been with Joseph's family for a long time, and had always shown dedication to her work. Joseph approached, a gentle smile on his lips as he greeted her."Mrs. An, are you busy with the garden again today?" Joseph spoke, his tone polite but a little curious.Mrs. An raised her head, her eyes looking at Joseph kindly. "Yes, young master. I saw that the grass was growing a bit too much, so I wanted to clean it up a bit. This garden needs regular care to stay beautiful like this."Joseph nodded, his eyes sweeping over th
Joseph bent down, his hand gently stroking the soft fur of one of the old dogs circling around his legs. He smiled faintly, looking at them with eyes full of affection. Despite their age, the dogs hadn't lost their enthusiasm whenever someone paid attention to them. A smaller dog with fluffy white fur jumped onto Joseph's lap, its tail wagging continuously as if seeking more of his attention. Joseph couldn't help but chuckle, reaching out to scratch its head as he spoke in a tender voice:“Buddy, calm down, I haven’t forgotten you.”He then turned to a larger dog with sleek black fur lying right next to him, looking at him with adoring eyes. Joseph bent down and whispered, “Max, I have a new apple tree for you to see today.”Next, another dog with gray fur trotted over, letting out soft sounds as if asking for attention. Joseph smiled and reassured it, “Don’t worry, Rocky, I’ll play with you afterward.”These names weren’t random. Joseph had named each of these old dogs after discover
On the other side, Jayce stood in the middle of his large office, now a scene of utter chaos. Shattered glass and broken decorations were strewn across the floor. His anger had become uncontrollable; his hands were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. With a powerful motion, Jayce slammed his fist down onto his desk, causing some documents to scatter to the ground. He breathed heavily, feeling the rage burning in his chest.“How dare he…” Jayce muttered, his voice dripping with venom. He couldn’t accept that things weren’t going his way. The plan he had meticulously crafted, every step carefully calculated, was now facing setbacks because of a small, seemingly insignificant detail.He grabbed the glass of whiskey in his hand and hurled it against the far wall, shattering it into countless fragments. The red liquid ran down, leaving streaks on the white wall, creating a scene both chaotic and unsettling.At that moment, the office door opened, and Tyler, Jayce’s assistan
