"He's already divorced you. Now that he comes to our house, he's a guest.""He's the guest, and you're the host. As the host, shouldn't you accompany your guest for lunch?" old Mr. Cooper explained patiently once more."You're right. I'll go now," Fiona nodded slightly, then left the room.In the rear hall of the Cooper family estate, Joseph was already seated at the dining table, which was laid with an abundant lunch.Just like before, every time he came to treat old Mr. Cooper, he would have lunch here."Joseph, help yourself to the food. No need to wait or be polite. Fiona will be here once she's finished helping her grandfather," old Mrs. Cooper said cheerfully as she walked over. Despite her age, she was still quite spry."Alright, in that case, I won’t stand on ceremony," Joseph replied. He wasn’t one to fuss—especially since he planned to visit Professor Rogers’ wife, Kelly, after lunch.He began tasting

"I never thought that," Joseph replied with a wry smile, shaking his head."What you did for me once was priceless. Money, no matter how much, always has a price.""Why would I be foolish enough to try to reclaim something priceless with something that isn't?""Besides, I believe that in life, many things, once lost, are gone forever and can't be recovered.""Everything I've ever heard described as 'priceless'... was also irretrievable."Fiona walked slowly, her brows slightly furrowed, her voice tinged with reflection."I’ve always told you, there’s no need to feel like you owe me anything. I really did resent the way you treated me before, but it was only resentment, nothing more.""Even then, I never thought there was anything fundamentally wrong with you. Everyone has the right to decide how they treat others," Joseph paused, then looked seriously at Fiona."We're about the same age, but I haven’t experienced nearly as much as you. My perspective is more limited.""Our three-year

"Hehe, I was just speaking hypothetically," the servant scratched his head, a bit embarrassed."Just keep your eyes on the gate and stop daydreaming," his companion said. As they chatted, someone entered, prompting both of them to straighten up and greet the newcomer.After seeing Joseph off, Fiona returned directly to the rear hall.A contemplative expression lingered on her delicate face, as if her mind was caught in deep thought."Has Joseph left?" came the voice of the old lady as Fiona stepped through the door.She was seated in a chair, working on something that looked like embroidery."Yes, I saw him get in his car. He said he had another patient to visit," Fiona replied while tidying up the tableware."Girl, do you feel any regret?" old Mrs. Cooper looked at Fiona with eyes full of warmth, her voice gentle."No regret. I was the one who aimed too high, and time deceived me.""Life is a gamble. If I placed my bet, I should accept the outcome.""Even though I lost, no one can st

"Uh... why wouldn't I be curious?" Joseph blinked, puzzled. What was up with Professor Alvarez today? Why was she being so hesitant?"Well... sometimes, I guess," Mason Alvarez replied, her head slightly bowed, her cheeks so red they looked like they might drip."Sometimes?" Joseph frowned. "That’s odd. After applying the medication to your back, there shouldn’t have been any recurrence.""My... back?" Mason Alvarez froze, her eyes widening."Yeah, your back. I was talking about your back. Wait—weren’t you talking about your back too?" Joseph asked, confused."Uh... yeah, of course—the back," Mason Alvarez exhaled with a deep sense of embarrassment.What on earth was she thinking? Was she still not fully awake? How could she have misunderstood something so simple?She was utterly exasperated with herself. Still, it wasn’t entirely her fault, was it? Wilson’s phrasing—"that place"—was vague enough to invite all kinds of misunderstanding."If it recurs, you might want to consult dermato

"To be honest, our publicity department hasn't come up with any particularly brilliant ideas," Fang said, adjusting his glasses as he stood up, his tone earnest and sincere. "We're not really good at hype or marketing, and frankly, that kind of thing doesn't quite align with Nova University's low-key, pragmatic style.""Our initial idea is to film a short video featuring Professor Wilson and post it on our official social media accounts. Given how popular Professor Wilson already is, and how that popularity is likely to grow, even just riding that wave a little could greatly boost our student recruitment efforts."He glanced nervously around the room. "I'm not sure what the President or everyone else thinks?""I think that's already more than enough," Geoffrey Harris responded without hesitation. "The free clinic itself is excellent publicity. As long as the livestream continues, the promotional impact will remain. Having Professor Wilson record a video just shifts that attention towa

The buzz surrounding the free clinic wasn’t just limited to the internet—it had sparked a wildfire of enthusiasm among the faculty and students at Nova University as well.Many professors from both the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the School of Modern Medicine had joined the initiative. The clinic served multiple purposes: it trained students, contributed to public welfare, and elevated the university’s reputation—truly a win on all fronts.For the professors, it was a welcome opportunity to work alongside their students. On one hand, it allowed them to showcase their expertise; on the other, it fostered a valuable exchange of medical knowledge under the banner of community service.Everyone—from students to faculty—was more than willing to participate in such a meaningful learning experience.In the blink of an eye, four or five days passed, and Friday arrived.Joseph arrived on campus early that morning. He had previously agreed with the university’s publicity depa

At that moment, everyone had gathered around, watching the playback with intense focus."Not bad at all. I think this version is good to go.""Professor Wilson’s impromptu delivery was so natural and sincere—it’s like he voiced everything I wanted to say.""Exactly. A video like this will definitely resonate with the incoming students.""See? Speaking from the heart really is the best approach."...The group erupted in praise."Professor Fang, Professor Wilson, I think we’ve got it. We should use this take," said the cameraman, turning to both of them."No objections here. I think it turned out pretty well," Joseph responded calmly and directly."I’d object even less!" Professor Fang beamed. "This came out better than I ever expected. Are we actually calling it a one-take success?"He had initially assumed the shoot would be time-consuming—maybe even requiring overtime on Saturday. He never imagined they’d get such a perfect result so quickly."Of course it counts as a one-take succe

"Is that so? Let me think of a solution." Joseph stroked his chin thoughtfully after hearing the student's concern. A moment later, inspiration struck. "I’ve got it." He spoke up suddenly. "Professor Wilson?" the student looked at him curiously. "If the banners are too many to hang all at once, then here’s what you do—pack them into boxes and rotate them weekly on the wall. That way, each one gets its moment in the spotlight. After all, these banners aren’t just about the teachers—they’re a reflection of you students as well." "Of course, if any of you want to take one home, you’re welcome to. Consider it a mark of your hard work and a keepsake of your contribution." Joseph smiled as he spoke. "Really? We can do that?" the student asked, both surprised and excited. "Of course," Joseph said firmly. "Then we’ll do exactly as you say, Professor." The student grinned. "Alright then. Go on. And remind everyone—once the clinic ends, we still have the written final

"I never said it was a problem!"At those words, Joseph glanced up at Fiona."Uh... not a problem," she stammered, momentarily caught off guard."This particular herb does affect the patient—but not in a bad way. In fact, the effect is quite beneficial.""The student who worked with me on this prescription is extremely creative. He added this ingredient specifically to address the patient’s unique condition. It’s a textbook case of targeted treatment.""I asked him why he included it, and his explanation was more than satisfactory," Joseph patiently explained."I see... Looks like I still have a lot to learn. I can’t believe I didn’t catch that. I’ll need to study this prescription more closely when I get back," Fiona said with a helpless smile.Although she was one of Joseph’s graduate students, the young scholars at Nova University were all quite impressive. And with Joseph’s guidance and inspiration, they seemed to flourish even more.From this free clinic event alone, it was clear

Zasit looked furious, but the swarm of reporters clearly had no intention of backing down."Mr. Zasit, as a journalist, as part of the media, I have to disagree with you. I believe that if we lose money, we can earn it back. But if we lose our conscience—well, we can earn even more. That’s why we work so hard, you see?""Let me jot this down—‘Renowned musician lashes out at Elysian media, accuses them of selling out their conscience for profit.’""That headline’s too mild. Try this: ‘Wealthy maestro blasts Elysian female reporters, claims they’ve abandoned dignity for money!’""As top-tier journalists, it’s our job to embellish, to twist facts—70% fiction, 30% truth. Every ordinary story must be spiced up with themes like class resentment, mother-in-law drama, or gender conflict. Stirring public emotions is how we capture and brainwash the masses.""Colleagues, remember—the public is just our audience. Any story that stirs emotion, no matter how morally bankrupt or exploitative, is ju
