Joan Edwin sat on the single sofa and poured herself a glass of boiled water.
After moistening her throat, she picked up her phone and googled for information, "Blake Fuller, 26 years old, Director of Longevity Hospital, an absolute authority in the medical field, author of human anatomy books, successfully published and collected by the national library, and translated into English for sales abroad, recognized by many medical experts..."
The information that came up on Google was extensive, with countless glorious honors, and she read out loud for quite some time without finishing.
As Joan read, her mouth became dry, and suddenly someone slapped the back of her head hard.
"Smack—"
She was hit so unexpectedly that she was left in a daze, too indignant to protest, but she rubbed the back of her head in displeasure.
Gordon Edwin withdrew his hand, took out a tissue to clean his fingers, and continued peeling grapes.
