"My mom's been coughing constantly. The most obvious symptom is shortness of breath and lack of internal energy."

Jude Ortiz paused to think before speaking.

"That’s a good start. What else?"

Joseph nodded, affirming his response.

"Um..."

Jude hesitated, a little nervous.

"Son, just treat me like you do at home. Don’t be nervous, I won’t fall apart. And Professor Wilson is here watching over everything."

His mother, sensing his anxiety, tried to ease his nerves.

"What’s the cause of shortness of breath?"

Joseph continued.

"It’s due to deficiency."

Jude answered promptly.

"There are many types of deficiency. What kind do you think your mother has?"

Joseph kept guiding him with calm, pointed questions—both to make him think critically and to lead him in the right direction.

"I’m not quite sure how to tell the difference yet, Professor..."

Jude scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

"Judging purely by symptoms, it’s indeed hard to tell. But let me guess—your family lives in Nova City

    Joseph quickly understood and scratched the spot through her clothing.“How’s that? Better?” he asked after a few strokes.“Nope. It’s too dull—through the clothes, I can’t feel a thing.”“Mr. Wilson, could you put your hand under my shirt?” she asked directly.Joseph froze in place, utterly stunned.“Uh, putting my hand under your shirt… is that really okay?” Joseph was at a loss, a frown forming on his face.“What’s not okay about it? It’s not your first time doing something like this. It’s just your hand going in—not like I’m asking for anything more,” Mason Alvarez twisted slightly in her seat, visibly uncomfortable. “Hurry up, will you? I’m dying here—it’s so itchy.”“Well… alright then.” Joseph couldn’t say no to Mason Alvarez.He asked her to unbutton the top of her shirt. She undid two buttons, and he gently pulled the fabric down a little. Even though it was only two buttons, the moment her shirt slipped slightly off her shoulder, Joseph caught a glimpse of somethin

    Leonard Sanchez came rushing in from outside. Seeing the office door was open, he walked right in.“Principal, you called for me urgently—is something the matter?” Leonard Sanchez asked.“Old Sanchez, have a seat. Have some tea,” said Geoffrey Harris as he calmly poured a cup.Leonard Sanchez took a sip and set the cup down.“Old Sanchez, have you seen how Mr. Wilson’s free clinic went?” Geoffrey Harris asked.“The teachers have been talking about it in the staff group chat. Didn’t you praise Mr. Wilson yourself? How could I not know?”“I heard the response was phenomenal. I thought it was just a free clinic, but it was streamed online.”“I heard Nova University’s official Twitter livestream had over fifty thousand viewers at once.”“That’s unprecedented since the school was founded—and we gained over a hundred thousand new followers in a single day. This free clinic livestream wasn’t just effective—it was a sensation.”Leonard Sanchez couldn’t stop talking. He had to admit—this Mr. W

    "This is thanks to Professor Wilson. We should report it to the school, of course, but we should also get his input.""I hope we can use this money for something meaningful."Melissa spoke up with calm authority."We’ll follow Melissa’s lead.""She’s right. Though, who knows what the school will say.""I’m just making suggestions. What the school decides is out of our hands."Their chatter was filled with respect and trust. It was clear that Melissa, the petite girl who led them, wasn’t just a figurehead—she had real influence.Otherwise, the entire broadcasting team wouldn’t have followed her so willingly.As the stream neared its end, the comment section remained lively. "Been watching for hours—seeing Nova U’s teachers and students treat patients all day. Sounds impressive, but I wonder how effective it really is?" "Guess we’ll find out based on the patients’ feedback. If they’re really that good, I'm having my son apply to Nova U as his top choice. He just finished his college e

    "Mrs. Bailey, I’m about to begin. First, I’ll disinfect the area with alcohol. The needle might sting a little."Joseph said in a calm voice."Are the needles long and thick, Professor Wilson? I have to admit, I get a little dizzy when it comes to needles."Ruby said, slightly embarrassed."If you don’t see the needle, you won’t get dizzy."Joseph replied confidently."Alright, I won’t look. But... still, just imagining a thick needle going in makes me nervous."Ruby confessed."Don’t worry. I’ll be as gentle as possible. You’ll be fine."Joseph assured her."Okay."Taking a light breath, Ruby closed her eyes.Moments later, she felt a cool sensation on her back—Joseph was applying the alcohol disinfectant.Then came a brief sting—he must have started the acupuncture.What surprised Ruby, though, was that the pain quickly faded and was replaced by a strange, soothing sensation.She felt a kind of release, a warmth spreading through her back, and it was unlike any acupuncture she’d eve

    "I just never imagined it would leave behind something like this."Ruby spoke with genuine admiration."You flatter me, Mrs. Bailey. It's nothing more than a minor skill.""Lindsay, go ahead and loosen up Mrs. Bailey’s shoulders for her. I’ll do the acupuncture afterward."Joseph turned to Lindsay Anderson."Yes, Professor Wilson."Lindsay responded obediently."Professor Wilson, does that mean you can actually treat my condition?"Ruby asked with curiosity."What do you think?"Joseph paused and gave her a confident smile."How much will it cost?"Ruby looked genuinely surprised."It’s a free clinic. No charge.""And besides, even if your condition improves, it won’t be thanks to me alone—it’ll be thanks to my student and me, working together.""My student is quite outstanding too."Joseph answered calmly.Hearing that, Ruby looked at him with renewed respect. This Professor Wilson looked young, but the way he spoke and carried himself—so composed and grounded—was anything but ordina

    "Mrs. Bailey’s body has clearly been receiving regular care—probably top-tier treatments too.""But the fact that her condition has persisted for so long is unusual. Normally, with consistent therapy, her shoulder and neck issues would’ve improved. Instead, they’ve continued to worsen.""So I have a theory. I don’t think this is just a case of chronic strain.""I spent quite a bit of time testing that theory during the examination, but I couldn’t find more solid evidence to support it."Lindsay Anderson spoke thoughtfully."That’s a good thought. Whether you’re right or not, the fact that you had a thought is what really matters."Joseph nodded in approval."Thank you, Professor Wilson. I still have a lot to learn."Lindsay lowered her head slightly, her cheeks flushed."Mrs. Bailey, let me take a look myself."Joseph stood up."Thank you, Professor Wilson."Ruby Bailey gave him a warm smile.Joseph approached and began palpating specific areas while asking Ruby Bailey about her sensa
