"The situation isn’t looking good," the middle-aged doctor said, his brows furrowed after a thorough examination. "He’s not dead... but he’s very close.""Looks like induced acute renal failure."The words stunned the room into silence. Murmurs broke out among the onlookers."Induced acute renal failure? Judging by how he’s not wearing anything, I bet he was doing something... unspeakable.""Isn’t it obvious? A man and a woman, in a hotel room, undressed—what else could they be doing?""Mr. Kim’s been fooling around here since last night. Switched out several women already. Fighting non-stop for a whole day and night—even an ox couldn’t take it!""Seriously. Around noon, I saw him walk in with a woman in her mid-thirties. When I saw him again later, his face looked ghostly pale—like he’d been drained of his life force.""That’s terrifying. Auntie's waist—the blade of death!""People always say lustful men die between the sheets. Today, I actually witnessed it.""Brothers, take this

"Good, just making sure," Joseph replied with a sheepish smile.He might’ve been a little slow on the uptake, but he wasn’t stupid. He could more or less read between the lines of what Mason Alvarez had been hinting at."Help yourself to some water," Mason said casually before slipping back into the resting room.Same resting room. Same semi-transparent partition.Joseph poured himself a glass of water and sat down.As he sipped, he found himself—once again—watching an unintentional performance of elegance and allure.To be fair, it wasn’t exactly “unintentional.” And it certainly wasn’t “forced” either. A man was, after all, still a man—and some instincts were simply beyond his control.This woman wasn’t just being careless. She was doing it on purpose. And he couldn’t even bring himself to look away.After a while, Mason emerged again."All set, Professor Wilson. Have you finished your water? If you have, let’s go."She slung her bag over her shoulder, glancing at him."Yes, I’m

"The doctor assigned to the andrology department had to take emergency leave, so I’m stepping in temporarily," Mason Alvarez said calmly, taking a sip of water."You’re stepping in?" Joseph blinked. "Wait a minute—Nova First Hospital is huge. Don’t tell me there’s only one doctor who can handle andrology?""Besides, you’re not even specialized in this field. How can you just fill in like that?""Who told you I’m not specialized?" "I studied andrology during my advanced training. Doing a simple exam like this? Please, it’s no big deal.""And for the record," she added with a mischievous grin, "you’re my first andrology patient. Shouldn’t you feel honored?"Joseph stared at her, feeling very much not honored. That smile of hers—it had trouble written all over it. Why did she look more like a predator circling her prey?He, on the other hand, felt like a helpless lamb about to be devoured."Uhm... Professor Alvarez, maybe we should ask someone else to handle this?" he suggested weakl

"Of course I care. We’re colleagues, after all—it’s only natural to look out for you. I just didn’t want you to get caught changing in front of others and end up in an awkward situation.""That’s why I reminded you," Joseph explained quickly."I see... So there’s no concern beyond just being colleagues?" Mason Alvarez straightened up slightly, her voice tinged with disappointment."That’s not what I meant," Joseph hurried to clarify."Then tell me, do you care for me the same way you care for that little girl?""Regardless of your answer, it doesn’t matter. Whether or not you care, I’ll still care for you—just like she does." "Because you, you damned man, have this inexplicable charm that makes people unable to walk away."Her cheeks flushed faintly as she looked at him with soft, affectionate eyes, her voice unusually serious."I’m just an ordinary man. Thank you, Professor Alvarez, for thinking so highly of me… I really don’t know how to repay your kindness." Joseph, caught off g

Joseph glanced over briefly, then reluctantly looked away. But the image from the resting room seemed to have a strange, almost magical pull— his gaze kept drifting back, as if drawn by some invisible force.Mason Alvarez and Alice had completely different body types. Alice was petite and delicate, her soft, supple figure charming in a way that made one want to hold her forever. Mason Alvarez, on the other hand, was tall, voluptuous, and carried a sensual allure that could instantly awaken a man’s primal urge to conquer.Just watching her silhouette through the partition made Joseph’s mouth go dry. Especially as she moved around, changing clothes—he couldn’t help but recall her long, seductive legs. His cheeks flushed with heat.Was she doing this on purpose? Surely, she didn’t see him as an outsider anymore.After a while, Mason began to emerge from the resting room. Joseph quickly averted his eyes, trying to appear proper—though, deep down, he knew how hollow that pretense w

"Well then, I won’t stand on ceremony. Let’s head over together tomorrow," said Joseph decisively."OK, no problem at all," Mason Alvarez replied with equal ease."Goodbye, Professor Wilson. Have a good night!""Oh, and remember—wine may be delightful, but your health comes first.""You must understand, there are only exhausted oxen, never ruined fields."With those strange and cryptic words, Mason Alvarez ended the call."This crazy woman..." Joseph muttered to himself when he realized the call had ended.Sometimes, Professor Alvarez really did seem a little unhinged—nothing like a typical teacher. Shaking his head with a resigned smile, he made his way back to his room to rest.---The following afternoon, after lunch at the cafeteria, Joseph, Alice, and Mason Alvarez headed toward the parking lot where Joseph had parked his car."Joseph, I have class this afternoon, so I can’t go with you to Nova First Hospital. Just go with this old hag.""If anything happens, give me a call," Ali
