"Of course. Any man lucky enough to marry you must’ve done something amazing in a past life."Joseph smiled as he spoke."Hehe, stupid man. You’re getting better and better at talking. I really do adore you."Heidi beamed with joy at his words."That leg should be feeling better now, right?"Joseph asked."Much better. In fact, it feels amazing. Honestly, your hands are magic—makes me feel like I'm floating."Heidi praised him sincerely."Alright then, the other leg might hurt a little at first too. Just try not to make any weird sounds again."Joseph warned her."Go ahead. I can take it."Heidi looked confident."Ah! Ow, ow, ow—it hurts! It really hurts! Be gentle!"Despite her confidence, Heidi cried out. Some things, after all, were just impossible to suppress."Didn’t you say you could handle it?"Joseph sighed, glancing at her helplessly."You did that on purpose, didn’t you? That was way worse than the first one. You’re trying to kill me!"Heidi was on the verge of tears.She wa

After a bout of passionate exchange, the two finally parted, leaving Alice slightly breathless."Ugh, you’re such a bad guy. Always making me like this..."Alice's pretty face blushed crimson as she looked at Joseph, half embarrassed, half annoyed. She balled up her tiny fists and gave his firm chest a couple of playful punches."Making you like what?"Joseph asked gently."I don’t know... you’re just bad. The later the night gets, the naughtier you become."Alice lowered her head, her voice soft and shy."What’s this?"Alice suddenly noticed the bouquet of gerbera daisies nearby. She climbed off Joseph and picked up the flowers in her hands."Supposedly they’re gerbera daisies. Got them from that Future Auto showroom."Joseph replied casually."Huh? I know this—it even made the trending topics.""Yeah! But there’s no way you picked these up yourself."Alice squinted, as if she had seen through everything."How do you know that?"Joseph asked."Because with your personality, you would

"Yes, yes, not an informant or a spy—just a friend.""In your hometown, you rely on your parents; out in the world, you rely on friends. With enough friends, you can go anywhere!" Leonard Sanchez quickly chimed in."You don’t need to explain—I get it," Joseph replied with a smile."As long as you understand," Geoffrey Harris and Leonard Sanchez both nodded, visibly relieved."So, what is it you wanted to discuss with me?" Joseph asked."We’re feeling a sense of crisis," Geoffrey said, stroking his chin with a troubled expression. "Metropolis University and Westfield University are both organizing free clinics. Their popularity—could it surpass ours?""Exactly. What if we can't compete with them? Should we be taking some kind of action? We can't just sit here and do nothing," Leonard added."Professor Wilson, you're young, but you've seen a lot. We'd like to hear your thoughts," Leonard Sanchez said sincerely."Let me think," Joseph said, rubbing his chin, appearing deep in thought."P

“Who says it’s not our place? We’re upholding justice! Sure, your teachers might have medical licenses, but your students don’t. That makes your activities illegal.”“And if it’s illegal, then this event has to stop—plain and simple!” Clifford Collins shouted righteously.“Professor Wilson, thank goodness you’re here!” Melissa Chavez came running over.Joseph recognized her—Melissa worked as an announcer for the campus broadcast station.“What’s going on here?” he asked casually.“Professor Wilson, these people are from Havencrest Medical Center, a private hospital near the school. Out of nowhere, they’re demanding we shut down our free clinic.”Panting, Melissa quickly explained the full story to Joseph.“Professor Wilson, in this situation… should we keep streaming the event?” she asked.“Of course. If there’s a dispute, let the public be the judge.”“Keep the livestream going. Tell the viewers what's happening and why. I’ll go talk to them myself.”Joseph’s voice was cold as ice.M

"We're professionally trained police officers—how could we possibly show favoritism?" Captain Robinson shot a displeased glance at Clifford Collins. "Then arrest him immediately! All my men are lying on the ground!" Clifford Collins demanded hastily. "Are you trying to teach me how to do my job?" "Yes, your men are indeed on the ground. But I can't just arrest someone without understanding the full story. Who told you that whoever ends up on the ground is automatically the victim?" Captain Robinson's frown deepened, and his tone grew colder. "What do you mean, without understanding the full story? My men were assaulted and are all lying on the ground. That's felony assault!" Clifford Collins insisted. "Officer, this bastard is lying!" A chubby little student wearing a red scarf stepped forward and spoke up, his voice clear and firm. "He brought people here to smash up Mr. Wilson’s booth and tried to attack both him and his students!" As the little boy stood forward
