"I did meet him—but he had conditions," Joseph said, hesitating slightly.

"Conditions? What kind of conditions?" old Mr. Cooper asked curiously.

Joseph went on to explain Brian Adams’ terms, and as old Mr. Cooper listened, his brows furrowed slightly.

"From the way you describe him, this Brian Adams is no ordinary man. Someone who’s crawled out of a heap of corpses isn’t going to be easy to deal with," he said thoughtfully. "Especially now that you’re not who you once were. You’ve forgotten so much, and your strength has undoubtedly diminished."

"That’s true," Joseph nodded.

"Joseph, is there any way for you to regain your strength? You’re a doctor—you must have some understanding of your own condition," old Mr. Cooper asked.

"My situation is quite... unique. My master deliberately altered my body to make me forget certain things. The memories I can recover are limited to what I see, hear, and experience directly."

"By that logic, I have to reencounter people and places from my past t

    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

    "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

    "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

    "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

    "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

    "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
