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

That afternoon, Dave visited Joseph's office."Dr. Hart, give it to me straight. What's the real situation with Mr. Ernest Ashmore?""I won't comment on what other specialists are capable of, but at my end, all I can do is keep him alive through conservative treatment."If you want a more optimis

The next day, Joseph arrived at the hospital to find Dave already there, which surprised him a little. "Did you hear about what happened to Bill, Joseph? The guy who transferred out of our department?""Yeah, a few professors and students from the university called me last night and told me Bill go

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 h

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 gotte
