Joshua only felt an overwhelming wave of dizziness; everything before his eyes was a little blurry, yet it was a familiar ceiling.

He blinked, instinctively looking around, and immediately saw Nine sitting off to one side—one hand scrolling on a phone, the other tightly holding Joshua’s hand, continuously kneading and pressing it.

As if sensing Joshua’s gaze, Nine looked up, then instantly broke into a bright, happy smile.

"Joshua, you’re finally awake!" Nine said loudly, then stepped forward and wrapped Joshua in a hug, asking after him nonstop.

Joshua shook his head, his lashes drooping slightly, looking listless.

Nine quickly picked up a cup of warm water from the side and brought it to Joshua.

After drinking some water and eating a little porridge, Joshua finally felt a bit more strength return to his body.

He stared blankly at Nine. Nine immediately stepped closer and hugged him, one hand gently patting his back as he asked, "What’s wrong? Are you still uncomfortable anywhere?"

Joshua rested his chin on Nine’s shoulder, putting all his weight onto him, and said softly, "I dreamed that..."

Nine listened in silence, waiting for Joshua to continue.

After a long while, Joshua finally murmured quietly, "I dreamed that I was a doctor."

Nine’s heart ached. He felt that Joshua must have been so frightened that even in his dreams he was seeing such things. He gently rubbed Joshua’s back. "Alright, then next time let’s not dream anymore, okay?"

Joshua didn’t say anything, only softly closed his eyes.

At this time, things online had already begun to ferment. Earlier, after Joshua’s condition stabilized, CM Broadcasting had released an official statement to reassure the fan community, and at the same time announced the identity of the person who had attacked Joshua.

Obviously, it was Lucas.

Online, curses flooded everywhere. With the Adonis family backing things up, Lucas would not be able to escape this time.

Joshua had nearly died. Naturally, they were not going to let the matter pass so easily.

In the office on the top floor of the Atius family’s skyscraper.

Arthur stared at the computer screen, which showed the hurried figure of Henry carrying Joshua away from the scene and rushing him to emergency treatment.

At that moment, the assistant came in to report, "The Adonis family has indeed intervened in this matter, sir. We haven’t been able to find any room to operate."

Arthur waved his hand. "It doesn’t matter if he didn’t die. Living a fate worse than death is quite interesting too."

The "he" here was, of course, Lucas.

Sometimes even the assistant could not understand his chairman. It was clearly Arthur himself who had suggested that Lucas kill Joshua. Yet now he wanted Lucas dead even more, while staring at Joshua all day long with that look of worry mixed with affection.

Could this be a pervert’s version of love? He did not dare say a word and simply left the office.

Only Arthur remained in the room.

He gently stroked the computer screen and said with a soft laugh, "Joshua, Joshua. What other secrets do you still have that I don’t know?"

Now that Joshua was even the youngest son of the Adonis family, it had become even harder for Arthur to get his hands on him. Still, he did not feel discouraged. On the contrary, he found it quite interesting. Or perhaps because he had been watching Joshua every day, he was now a little reluctant to strike. As he looked at Joshua’s smile on the screen, he suddenly felt that what he wanted might not be limited to those blue eyes alone.

Louis and his parents had long since prepared a room for Joshua and wanted him to move back home. Today, Joshua had finally recovered, and he agreed to the request. Only Nine was particularly dissatisfied.

When he learned that the Adonis family was actually Joshua’s family, Nine was left somewhat speechless. Still, seeing Joshua happy made him happy as well. It was just that these people were actually preparing to snatch Joshua away from him, which was completely unacceptable!

Nine said outright, "Then I’ll go back with you and become the Adonis family’s butler!"

Joshua couldn’t help saying, "That... wouldn’t be very appropriate."

Nine snorted coldly. "What’s inappropriate about it? You just don’t want me barging into your family, do you?"

Joshua: "...I don’t want you to have to work."

Nine paused for a moment. He was still not very pleased, but even so, he honestly stuck close to Joshua and helped him pack up and move home.

When Louis first received Joshua’s address, he was a little surprised. After seeing BlueMoon Castle, he was practically at a loss for words.

Was Joshua really that rich?! But more importantly, it turned out Joshua was the one who had bought this castle. That day, they had almost run into each other! Fate was sometimes truly unpredictable and ironic.

At this moment, Joshua had already come out, with Nine following behind, dragging the luggage.

"Louis."

Joshua waved cheerfully and called out, then ran toward Louis. His face was still a little pale, but the fact that he could run around like this was already very good. Louis smiled and rubbed Joshua’s head, saying softly, "Let’s go home. Everyone’s been waiting just to throw a party for you."

Joshua blinked at that, a bit expectant. "A party?"

What he hadn’t expected was that "everyone" meant so many people. All the members of ShineOn were there! Perhaps his parents were worried that he might feel unfamiliar and anxious after just returning home, so they had invited his friends over. Even Lance and Luis, who knew where the news came from, had dropped by as well. In any case, the more people, the livelier it was. Joshua smiled until his eyes curved into crescents, and at last there was a hint of pink on his cheeks again, like usual.

"Joshua, I missed you so much! And you moved again? I went to look for you and couldn’t find you. Nine guards you like you’re his personal property, it’s so annoying."

The moment Joshua walked in, Luther hugged him, scolding him nonstop. He even lifted him up, claiming it was to "check his weight."

Joshua couldn’t help slapping Luther’s hand. "Put me down, I’m fine already."

Luther rubbed against him again, then tightly held Joshua and sat down to one side.

At this moment, Henry also came over and sat beside Joshua. Joshua immediately smiled at him, tilting his head slightly to rest against Henry’s shoulder.

Henry sat stiffly like a statue. Only after a while did he finally raise his hand and gently rub Joshua’s head.

Seeing this scene, Luther’s entire face scrunched up. He really wanted to share the world-level secret he had just learned with Joshua, but unfortunately, the rules did not allow it.

But then again, would Joshua be in danger staying so close to him?

"Luther, what are you thinking about?"

Joshua suddenly spoke up. Luther startled slightly and hurriedly shook his head. "N-no, nothing."

Joshua narrowed his eyes a little. Luther immediately moved a bit closer to him and said softly, "Actually... there is a bit of a secret."

Joshua raised his brow at Luther. He already knew Luther had secrets before, and now Luther had a new one again?

Seeing Joshua’s expression, Luther couldn’t help finding it a little funny. He said softly, "I’ll tell you after some time."

"Why can’t you say it now?" Joshua asked honestly.

"You have to be careful. What if someone’s listening in?" Luther said.

Joshua wanted to say that there was no way anyone was eavesdropping on them, but he suddenly felt that Luther’s words might not be so simple after all.

"Then can you give me a little hint?" Joshua asked, pretending not to care too much.

Luther smiled. "It’s something related to the family."

Hearing that, Joshua nodded seriously and didn’t press further.

By this time, the party preparations were complete. Of course, it was barbecue! Joshua felt very apologetic that his menu couldn’t be more varied. Still, there were plenty of side dishes. The seafood was also quite good, but Joshua’s main dish was always meat.

After eating, he was pulled aside by Luis and Lance to chat.

"Dream has entered its promotion phase already. Hurry up and recover so you can get back to work," Luis joked.

That was right. Dream was set to be released at the end of the year. Joshua had been unconscious for several days and even missed Christmas. Now Dream had already started promotions and ticket sales, preparing for its theatrical release, yet Joshua still hadn’t returned to work.

Lance kicked Luis directly. "I haven’t even demanded anything from Joshua, and you dare talk to him like that?"

As he spoke, he rubbed Joshua’s head. "Just rest well. Don’t worry about the film. It’ll definitely be a hit!"

After all, the script was written by Lance, the male lead was Luis, and there was Joshua’s flawless performance.

Joshua smiled. "Thank you, but don’t kick Luis like that."

Luis immediately rushed over and hugged Joshua, rubbing his head nonstop. "Joshua, why can’t you be my little brother..."

"Hahaha, we’re still brothers anyway." Joshua couldn’t help laughing as he raised his hand to pat Luis on the back.
