Chapter 111

Author: Lunar Flame
Cora waited until 10:00 pm, but there was still no sign of Joseph coming home. Frustrated, she called him, only to find that his phone was turned off. In a rage, she hurled her phone out of the room.

Cora knew Joseph hadn't gone to a hotel, so he was probably spending the night at his laboratory. Still, she didn't go looking for him.

Instead, she went to bed, thinking that if she fell asleep, she wouldn't be so irritated anymore. In the end, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

    The ICU department wasn't just treating one patient. Everyone admitted there had one foot in the grave. Throughout the day, Joseph was either discussing treatment plans with other doctors or personally rushing into emergency rescues.By the time he got off work, it was already 8:00 pm. The moment he walked through the front door, he noticed Cora's scowl; it was clearly directed at him.Joseph asked, "Did I do something?""Of course! What's wrong with your classmate, Bill? He has been going around telling people that your wife is a nightclub hostess," Cora snapped."Bill? What did he say? How did you hear about it?" Joseph questioned."Bill is spreading word of that hospital dorm incident across your alumni chat and our daughters' parent groups. He's even hired people to smear you online. It's relentless! Has he lost his mind?" Cora was displeased.Joseph understood the situation at once. It had been barely a day, yet Bill was already launching an all-out assault. How much did the

    The patient Joseph had been called in to save was none other than Ernest. Early in the morning, Ernest's condition suddenly took a turn for the worse. The doctors on duty had no choice but to contact Joseph and the others.By the time Joseph arrived at the hospital, Walt and the rest had just gotten there as well. There was no time for small talk. Everyone headed straight into the treatment.They worked until dawn. It was only then that Ernest's condition stabilized. Walt let out a long breath of relief. He ordered breakfast for the staff and asked to speak with Joseph privately.Walt began, "Joseph, you've seen the situation for yourself. Just now, you performed the surgery, but I signed it off. Regardless of the outcome, the patient's family won't hold you responsible.""I don't have confidence in the outcome. Performing surgery would practically be pushing the patient toward death. You wouldn't dare perform it yourself either," Joseph replied.Walt muttered, "I believe you can

    Joseph really wanted to walk over and slap Cora across the face for cheating on him. He suppressed the impulse. If all he wanted was revenge against her, he would have exposed her long ago."The reason Walt is still at Jenton University Hospital is that your family pulled strings to protect him, right?" Joseph asked after washing his hands."Yes, that outcome serves everyone's interests. Joe, if you would just listen to me and think about what's best for this family, Walt would step down eventually," admitted Cora. She was hoping to work with Joseph based on mutual interests."Me and the Lowell family? You guys don't need an outsider like me. Tell Frank to transfer Ernest to Croma Hospital as soon as possible. Keeping him at Jenton University Hospital is pointless. They don't have the resources to treat him," Joseph stated.Cora asked, "You can't save him either?"Joseph answered, "No."Cora said, "Maybe it isn't that you can't. Maybe it's that you won't.""I've already made my

    When Joseph arrived home and learned that Cora hadn't returned, he didn't comment on it. Instead, he went straight to the study and continued working on his doctoral thesis.Over the next few days, Joseph headed to the sanatorium to treat Ethan, staying there for most of the day before returning home at night.After the first phase of the acupuncture and medication treatment was completed, Ethan's condition showed obvious improvement. His test results reflected major progress as well.Joseph couldn't cure acute leukemia, but he could strengthen Ethan's body and improve the latter's overall physical condition. Joseph could give Ethan a much better chance to fight the illness.Once the treatment ended, Ethan paid Joseph a substantial consultation fee before returning to Croma.That weekend, Joseph went fishing by the river to clear his mind. Several days had passed without seeing Cora, and he had no desire to see her either. Through Ella, he learned that she had been staying at her

    Joseph stopped by the hospital first and purchased some medicines before returning to his laboratory. That evening, when he got home, he noticed that Cora wasn't there. As he thought that she was with her lover, he couldn't help but snicker."Is your lover really that important that you don't even bother coming home anymore? Why won't you divorce me then? What are you thinking? You betrayed me, yet you refuse to apologize and end the marriage. Sooner or later, you'll pay the price for it!" Joseph muttered.Joseph's heart had turned cold. After dinner, he went straight to his study. Not long afterward, Mavis' subordinate sent over the patient's medical records.Although the patient's name had been redacted, the rest of the information remained intact. The patient was a man in his early 80s suffering from acute leukemia.Acute leukemia progressed rapidly. Without chemotherapy, the patient could only live up to six months. Three months had already passed since the onset of this patien

    Helen saw Joseph enter the kitchen with Kimberly following behind him. Seeing how close they were, Helen didn't say anything. Instead, she headed into the study to find Bernard."Did Joseph leave already?" Bernard asked."No, he's making food for Kim. He knows what she likes to eat and how to prepare medicinal meals. Let him handle it. What did he talk to you about?" Helen asked. Although she had never been particularly fond of Joseph, she had to admit that when it came to taking care of her sick granddaughters, no one was more reliable."Joseph is still looking into Natalie's background. This time, he isn't looking into Frank. He has turned his attention to Jenton Tourism. According to him, Sharon may know something."I'm planning to speak with her this afternoon. If she really knows the truth and has been hiding it from us…" Bernard replied as he snickered, a cold glint flashing across his eyes."Jenton Tourism? Sharon? We've treated them well. If they aren't on our side, the
