The next day, Joseph still hadn't returned. Selena was furious. She shoved the huge birthday cake off the table. The sudden outburst shocked everyone.Cora lost her temper, wanting to slap Selena across the face. The happy atmosphere was ruined in an instant.Helen quickly pulled Selena into her arms and hurried her back to her room. Meanwhile, Natalie remained calm. She was upset too, but she felt that the family needed to accept and adjust to life without Joseph.After all, he wasn't her biological father, and sooner or later, Cora would bring her biological father into their lives.Kimberly looked innocent. She had been waiting for cake, only for Selena to explode. She neither cried nor complained. Instead, she got off her chair and found a clean piece of cake before eating it.Normally, whether it was Cora and Joseph or Bernard and Helen, everyone strictly limited how much dessert Natalie, Selena, and Kimberly could have. Such opportunities, where no one was stopping them from

For two days, Fiona and the others searched everywhere, yet they found no trace of Joseph leaving Jenton. Cora ordered them to keep looking. Meanwhile, she went to see Grace."Where are you hiding Joe?" Cora asked. Given Grace's background, Cora had every reason to suspect Grace was involved."Cora, you're funny. Your husband disappears, and you come looking for me?" Grace found it funny. She hadn't expected Joseph to leave without saying anything. If Cora had no idea where Joseph was, how would Grace know?"I'm serious. If you don't hand him over, don't blame me for tearing up our peace agreement," warned Cora.Grace studied Cora's expression and could see determination in the latter's eyes. Beneath them, there was a hint of recklessness. Still, Grace wasn't intimidated. She shot back, "Tear it up then."Cora fell silent. She concluded that Joseph wasn't with Grace. Letting out a snort, she asked, "Have you been helping him?""If he comes to me for help, I'll help however I can.

The next day, Joseph showed up at work. After changing into his white coat, he held the morning briefing and assigned the day's work. While Joseph headed toward the emergency room, Fiona stepped in front of him. However, he ignored her and instructed a nurse to serve as her medical guide."I'm not sick," muttered Fiona."Call security and have her escorted out," ordered Joseph, giving Fiona a dismissive glance before walking straight into the emergency room without looking back.Before noon, Dave came to find Joseph for a private conversation. Dave asked, "Joseph, what happened yesterday? Why were you so hostile toward Dr. Quinn?""Is she planning to suspend me or fire me?" Joseph questioned.Dave replied, "That won't happen. You're the best doctor in this hospital. We can't afford to lose you."Joseph said, "I just want to be a doctor. If you want to build some new order in Jenton or turn the place into a political battlefield, that's your business. It has nothing to do with m

The next moment, Joseph was summoned to the conference room. He reviewed Calvin's surgical footage with other specialists and professors at the hospital."Dr. Hart, do you see any problems with the operation?" Yvette asked."Not at all. If I were the lead surgeon, it's exactly what I would've done. It was a textbook procedure."Despite saying so, Joseph had actually noticed something was off. He suspected foul play in Calvin's case. He probably had been exposed to something from one of Nonagon Chemical's illegal substances. Those side effects had led to tumor metastasis in Lionel as well.As for Calvin, the side effects had worsened his condition, resulting in his death on the operating table. Yvette then had everyone present sign a document, making them jointly responsible for the surgical incident. "Dr. Quinn, this isn't even a medical malpractice case, yet you're making everyone uneasy. What on earth are you up to?"The patient's family isn't even here yet, yet you're rushi

Through the surveillance footage, Joseph saw Fiona and the others waiting by his car. The moment he went down, they would forcibly take him away. Joseph came up with a way to get away unnoticed. He used an ambulance to drive away from the hospital and meet up with Dolly. Together, they went to one of her lakeside villas, which had been given to her by the property developer. Dolly rarely came by—no more than five times a month.On the way to the villa, Dolly was secretly excited, thinking something might happen between them. But once they got there, Joseph remained polite and distant. Even when she left, he gave no hint of anything."Perhaps he's not in the mood. And what's up with me? Am I really that desperate for a man? What would people think of me?" On the way home, Dolly couldn't help but laugh in embarrassment.But Joseph wasn't in the mood to be intimate. He simply wanted a quiet place where no one could disturb him so he could have a good rest.That night, no one came

The next day, Yvette reviewed Ella's treatment reports. She then entered the ICU, gathered Joseph and the others, and said, "Ella's condition isn't improving, so her family's really unhappy. "You have to come up with a better treatment plan to stabilize Ella's condition. We want her to recover."All the doctors and specialists said nothing as they turned to Joseph.Joseph remained silent. At that moment, he wasn't even thinking about the treatment plan. He was wondering why Yvette was so focused on getting Ella better. Was she testing his skills? Or had Cora been pressuring her?"Finish this course of treatment. If things don't turn around by tomorrow, you have to try another treatment plan."Joseph explained solemnly that changing the medication would only mean switching to similar ones or increasing the dosage. After all, Ella was suffering from muscle weakness. Since Joseph remained calm and most of the doctors agreed to his plan, Yvette didn't press any further. Initially,

That night, Joseph tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He kept glancing at the door, worried he hadn't locked it properly and that another woman might walk in. In reality, he'd already wedged the door shut from the inside. Even if Cora or anyone else had a key, there was no way to open it from the o

Joseph thought he was seeing things. He scrutinized the photo from every angle, even suspecting that it was synthesized. But when he compared it inch by inch, he realized every detail matched his dorm room. It was genuine.He slumped into his chair, feeling defeated. The strength drained out of him

Joseph sneezed. It wasn't a cold; it felt more like someone was thinking about him, resenting him, or bad-mouthing him.Either way, it didn't stop him from paying his PhD tuition. Thanks to his own application and Walt's help, he was able to resume the doctoral program he'd started more than ten ye

Bernard and Joseph parted on a bad note.After Joseph walked out, Walt came out of another office. Seeing the awful look on Bernard's face told him that the talk with Joseph had obviously blown up. A bad feeling washed over him.He was right.Bernard turned to Walt and snapped, "That ingrate has
