“Sophie, I don’t mind falling sick if I can be your patient.”

“Stop spouting nonsense. All of us should stay healthy.”

Her purpose of becoming a doctor wasn’t to treat them.

“Yeah, Ysabelle, what’s up with you today?” Why is she talking about falling sick when everything is perfectly fine? Isn’t it nice to live a healthy and carefree life?

Ysabelle realized she had slipped up. “Oh, I misspoke.”

“Touch wood! Nothing bad’s going to happen.” Felix began feeling nervous. He liked Ysabelle and wanted her to be safe and healthy.

Ysabelle did as he instructed.

“Don’t come looking for us doctors if you feel fine,” Arius said. “But as luck would have it, I’ll be here if any of you gets sick, so don’t worry.”

His credentials as a professor were certainly impressive.

“Honestly, Sophie, Mr. Tristan isn’t getting any younger here. I thought both of you would tie the knot after your graduation, but finishing medical school will take at least five years. You wouldn’t consider pursuing a Ph.D. like Arius, would you?”

Tristan would stay a bachelor for the next ten years if that were the case.

“You’re too cruel toward Mr. Tristan.” Felix felt compelled to raise these concerns as Tristan’s close friend.

“It’s ten years, Mr. Tristan! Will you still be able to sire children by then?” That was a valid question.

Tristan’s swept his gaze across Felix without a word, and the latter flinched timidly.

“How could you not think before speaking, Felix? Are you doubting Uncle Tristan? He’s still young and virile. He will be able to wait twenty years, let alone ten.” Ysabelle came to Tristan’s defense.
