"Good."

Relieved, Alice let out a small sigh, then shyly hooked her arm through Joseph’s, her head still lowered.

"Oh, and I also asked your grandpa about my connection to the Cooper family, but he didn’t know much. If nothing unexpected happens, I’ll visit the Cooper family next weekend to fulfill a promise I made to my master."

Joseph explained as they walked.

"A promise your master made?"

Alice’s curiosity was piqued.

"Yes. Old Mr. Cooper is still in a coma. According to the agreement between him and my master, I’m supposed to wake him when the time is right."

"And now, that time has come."

Joseph said with a calm resolve.

"But the Cooper family holds such a grudge against you. Will they even let you near the old man?"

Alice asked with a trace of concern.

"I have my ways."

Joseph replied with a faint smile.

"If it really doesn’t work out, just let me know. I have my ways too. Most of the Cooper family’s lifelines are in our hands."

"Grandpa told me once that threats a

    “Thank you, Professor Wilson… truly, thank you.” “No pain—none at all. Without you, that would’ve been real suffering!”Kelly’s eyes reddened instantly. The worst of the first and second treatments was behind her, and now the third was finally complete. Her emotions tumbled together—mostly relief, gratitude, and joy.“Congratulations, Professor Wilson—congratulations, Dr. Kelly!” “Remarkable… truly remarkable.” “These three stages have been difficult for both of you.”The onlookers couldn’t help expressing their admiration.“Kelly, stay still for a moment. Lindsay and I will remove the tubes and needles.” Joseph said gently.“All right, thank you.”“You’ve worked hard, Professor Wilson. Another day, I’m treating everyone to a feast—my thanks to all of you.” Brady, eyes moist, bowed deeply.“A feast sounds great—but only when Kelly is fully recovered. I imagine she wants to join us too.” Joseph teased lightly.“I do. I really do. I want to eat good food again so badly.” K

    “Not bad. Your movements were a little slow, but your accuracy was excellent—no mistakes at all.” Joseph nodded as he answered.“Really?” Lindsay’s cheeks finally relaxed into a smile.“Haha! I knew my granddaughter could do it.” “You must have confidence in yourself, girl. You’re outstanding.” Philip Anderson beamed with pride, unable to suppress his joy.“Of course it’s true,” Joseph continued. “But you need a steadier heart. Trust yourself more. Believe you are capable.”“Thank you, Professor Wilson,” Lindsay said gratefully, her eyes softening.“Professor Wilson’s students are impressive.” “Who knows—maybe someday the doctors at every major hospital in Nova City will be his students.” Kelly smiled lightly.“Teaching isn’t the work of just a year or two. The future… who can say?” Joseph replied with an easy laugh.“It’s already easy to imagine your future, Professor Wilson—your students spread across the world.” “At Nova University, whenever you teach, the classro

    Before everyone’s eyes, Kelly first took two steps forward, then continued one slow, steady step at a time. Her pace wasn’t quick, but her footing was firm.After so long confined to bed, she clearly wasn’t used to walking again.When she had covered a short distance, she stopped.“I still have strength left, but my feet don’t fully obey me yet. For now, this is as far as I can go.”A small smile curved her lips.“That’s already excellent. It means your legs are recovering very well,” Joseph praised gently.“Professor Rogers, please help Kelly back onto the bed,” he added.“Of course.” Brady hurried to follow Joseph’s instructions.“This is beyond excellent—this is nothing short of miraculous. Her legs were supposed to be amputated, and now she’s standing.” “Unbelievable. Truly incredible.” “Professor Wilson is the finest doctor I’ve ever seen, without question.”The group’s admiration overflowed, their eyes full of respect for Joseph.“Kelly, how long can you sit at the edge of

    With Joseph leading the way, the two cars pulled up beneath Brady Rogers’s building shortly after two o’clock.Seeing Joseph’s car, Brady hurried downstairs to welcome them.“Professor Wilson—everyone—Lindsay… thank you all for coming.” He greeted them warmly, shaking hands with each guest.“Professor Rogers, you’re too polite. We’re only here to observe. The one who’s truly worked hard is Professor Wilson.” Philip Anderson chuckled.“You’re all too kind. I didn’t expect both of you elders to come as well.” Brady offered another round of courtesy.“Rogers, we’re imposing on you again,” Richard Anderson laughed.“You exaggerate, Mr. Anderson. It’s an honor that you’d grace my humble home,” Brady replied.Exchanging polite pleasantries, the group made their way upstairs.“Professor Wilson, Miss Lindsay, everyone—please, come in and have a seat.” Mrs. Rogers ushered them inside and quickly served tea to each guest.“Hello, Uncle Joseph… Hello, Sister Lindsay.” A small head peek

    “It’s your conscience.”“What I admire most is the conscience you carry as a physician—your clarity about right and wrong, your principles, your unwavering sense of duty.”Philip Anderson spoke with heartfelt admiration.“I only hope to act without shame before my own heart,” Joseph replied softly, lowering his head.“To be at peace with oneself—easy to say, but how many truly manage it?” Philip Anderson shook his head.“Old Mr. Anderson, you flatter me,” Joseph answered with a faint smile.“Professor Wilson, my father has been following the situation at Havencrest Medical Center as well. When that place finally collapsed, he was practically applauding.” Richard Anderson laughed as he poured tea for Joseph.“The issues at Havencrest Medical Center have existed for years. We at Nova General Hospital often receive their patients.”“From what those patients say, along with our own assessment, it’s clear they never received proper care there.”“At first, we thought it was just coincid

    “Can you not be so explicit? You’re shameless,” Alice huffed.“What’s there to be afraid of? There’s no one else here. As for his… affairs, the two of us know more than he does,” Mason Alvarez said bluntly.Alice’s pretty face flushed scarlet.“Ahem. I’m free this afternoon—and not tired,” Joseph cut in, clearing his throat.“In that case, let’s go out together later, Joseph!” Alice clapped softly, delighted. “It’s been ages since we went shopping—this is great!”She was, as ever, easy to please.After lunch, the three of them headed out.A woman’s appetite for shopping should never be underestimated—especially when money isn’t an issue. The two of them bought with effortless abandon. Heidi was different; she had money too, but never spent much—a virtue in its own right. Then again, spending freely isn’t exactly a vice either. If money can’t buy happiness, what’s the point of it?The day flew by. After a whirlwind of shopping, both Alice and Mason were thoroughly satisfied.The next d
