A Man with Nerves of Steel Chapter 164
The next morning, Joseph didn't rush off to the hospital. Instead, he waited for Selena and Kimberly to wake up. He only left for work after greeting them and seeing that they were both in good spirits.Helen watched the scene unfold and said to Cora, "See that, Cora? Since you refuse to let go of him, you should just keep him at home. The children adore him."Cora smiled bitterly. "It's impossible to keep him home. He wants a career of his own."After all these years, she was only now realizing that there were sides of Joseph she had overlooked, or simply ignored."As a doctor? What kind of future can he have? If Joseph stops being a doctor, the world is merely short one physician. But you would gain a husband who obeys your every word," Helen said.Cora shook her head. "Stop being a doctor? His medical skills are gaining recognition. Even if he leaves the hospital, he could get a job anywhere. He could even land a position in a major hospital."Helen said casually, "Just crippl

Joseph wondered, "What am I doing all this for?"By the time Joseph finished dealing with everything at the hospital, it was already late at night. He didn't want to go home, so he planned to make do on the office couch.Standing by the window and looking at the darkness outside, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of emptiness and loneliness. Among the patients he'd treated today were members of the Lowell family and the Ashmore family. They were people he despised, or the relatives of those he despised.Yet, he'd still done everything in his power to save their lives. Perhaps his drive came from nothing more than a doctor's duty and conscience.As he drifted through his thoughts, there was a knock on the door.He went to open it and found Cora waiting outside."What are you doing here?" Joseph was surprised, but he stepped aside and let her enter."Come home. It's more comfortable at home." Cora glanced around the office before her eyes settled on the pillow and blanket on

After saving yet another patient, Joseph returned to the nurses' station and noticed a group of colleagues gathered around a television screen, watching a breaking news report about a major fire.The footage showed the Maroon Mansion on fire.Joseph's attention was immediately drawn to it. This was one of Cora's properties, operating as an exclusive private club. A venue like that didn't simply erupt into a fire of this magnitude for no reason. That had to be arson, and it had to have been done by someone with extraordinary means.Was it the people from Croma?Other than them, Joseph couldn't think of anyone bold enough to strike directly at Cora."Dr. Hart, all the victims were sent to a different hospital." Paige noticed his troubled expression and assumed he was worried about the victims.Joseph replied, "How many deaths?""The official report says three. But from what I've heard, the real number is much higher—" Before she could continue, her phone rang. She answered it br

Bernard checked the time and saw that it was almost 7:00 pm. If no one had picked up the children yet, that meant they had been waiting at school for more than two hours. He immediately called Cora, but the call went unanswered. Then he called Helen instead. Helen was still angry, but the moment she heard that the children had been left at school, she hurried over without hesitation.Meanwhile, Joseph had gone into the ICU and hadn't come out since. Sirius' condition remained unchanged, so Bernard headed home.At home, the children had already returned and were eating dinner. Kimberly was still young and easily placated. As soon as she saw Bernard, she greeted him sweetly.Selena was another matter. She kept her head lowered and ate silently, acting as if Bernard didn't exist. The moment she finished eating, she marched upstairs and slammed her doors shut.That child…Bernard pulled Helen aside and asked, "What's going on with Cora lately? Are things really that busy at the comp

After getting the address, Joseph left the hospital and headed straight there.But when he was about three miles away, Fiona's car forced him to a stop. He was blocked from the front by another car, leaving him trapped. Was Cora getting nervous already? Joseph didn't let Fiona into his car. Instead, he lowered his window halfway. "Fiona, what the hell are you doing? Move!"Fiona smiled politely, looking as though she wouldn't fight back no matter how harshly Joseph spoke to her. "Joseph, Ms. Lowell asked me to bring you back to the hospital. There's someone you need to save."Joseph shouted, "You know exactly what Cora is doing. If you're still going to stop me from exposing her, then you've really lost your conscience."Fiona's tone remained calm. "Cora is at a business meeting. It's not what you're imagining. The truth is, she loves you more than anyone, and she's never done anything to betray you. You're the one who's overthinking things. Joseph, just go back to the hospital

Neither of them was in the mood to keep arguing. The children were home, after all.Once the girls were asleep, Joseph and Cora returned to their bedroom. Joseph noticed Cora's phone screen lighting up repeatedly with incoming calls. She ignored every one of them.Joseph said with a faint smile, "Your man seems pretty eager to get a hold of you. If you want to keep him company, just go. Right, I forgot. If you want to work overtime, you should go."The sight only strengthened his conviction that Cora was having an affair.Cora snapped, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're my only man. There's no one else."Cora switched her phone off. Whatever Frank or the Patron wanted, it could wait until tomorrow.She then started to tease Joseph, stirring his desires. Right as they were at the peak of passion, she held Joseph tightly. "You keep saying I have a lover. Aren't you worried I might actually find one someday? What would you do if that happened?"Joseph replied, "Other than

Natalie read the conclusion on the paternity report that stated she had no blood relation to Joseph. For some reason, her heart skipped a beat.She scrutinized Joseph. "Is this real?""The evidence is irrefutable. You and I don't share a single drop of blood. You're the child Cora had with another
A Man with Nerves of Steel Chapter 18
In the past, Joseph would have just found Natalie's cheeky attitude kind of cute—more like a friend than a kid. Being friends with one's child, he'd always thought, could narrow the generation gap and make living together a lot more comfortable.But after finding out the paternity test results, he

Joseph let Cora in as he towel-dried his hair and said, "You should've agreed days ago, Cora. If you had, you'd already be free by now…"To his surprise, Cora actually took off her clothes and climbed onto his bed. He frowned. "What are you doing?"She chuckled. "Isn't it obvious? You want my mone
A Man with Nerves of Steel Chapter 16
Cora snapped, "How is that possible? Natalie is my and Joseph's daughter—how could they conclude that there's no biological relationship between them? What are those testing centers even doing? I'm going to sue them for issuing such a ridiculous result.""You can't, Ms. Lowell! That'll only put us
