A Man with Nerves of Steel Chapter 190
Joseph arrived at Dolly's lakeside villa. After spending the night there, he returned to the hospital the next day and resumed work."Dr. Hart, a lot of people called me last night asking where you were. I didn't know what to tell them, so I just said I had no idea," said Paige."I'm fine. When I'm off duty, I want to rest properly. So, I turned off my phone," replied Joseph.The truth was that he wanted to avoid Cora. He glanced over the day's schedule. He had to attend a meeting first and then make ward rounds. After that, he had to discuss treatment plans with colleagues or attend specialist consultations. He had to keep himself busy.Upon seeing Fiona, Joseph didn't give her a chance to speak. He just instructed someone to take her to registration and arrange a chest X-ray. Naturally, she refused.Once Fiona left, another person arrived. It was Joseph's cousin-in-law, Sophia Lowell, whom he was unwilling to see. Sophia was Cora's cousin. Aside from her tall figure and attrac

Watching Joseph walk out once again, Cora knew he wouldn't be coming home tonight. They had just spent the previous night together, so she wasn't desperate at the moment. Instead of stopping him, she just assigned bodyguards to follow him."Dad, what was that about? Why were you trying to hit him again? Aren't you worried he might fight back?" Cora questioned.Bernard replied, "Do I really need to explain it? What he's doing at the hospital is a direct challenge to New World Group."He had plenty of grievances to air. The other powerful families had already been pressuring him to control Joseph. If Joseph reignited tensions between Jenton and Croma again, the Lowell family would bear all the consequences.Cora stated, "It's only Jenton University Hospital. How much money could New World Group make from it? If they're treating this as a threat, they're being far too sensitive."Dad, this could have been resolved through a conversation. If you had talked to Joseph properly, he proba

With both Walt and Yvette in trouble, the hospital was left without a leader. The state health department didn't rush to appoint a new director from outside. Instead, they tried promoting one of the deputy directors from within the hospital.The first candidate they approached turned the offer down immediately. After all, two consecutive directors had gotten themselves into trouble. Anyone could see that the position was dangerous. He knew better than to volunteer as the next target.Several others declined as well. In the end, the State Health Department appointed Mason Brooks, who was only months away from retirement, to serve as acting director.Mason was from the hospital. Rather than concentrating power in his own hands, he quickly formed a task force. He took the title of team leader in name only. Meanwhile, the deputy leader was Joseph. Joseph held all the authority and was in charge of the hospital's medical operations.All of a sudden, Joseph became the hottest name in the

Afterward, Joseph didn't say much to Cora. He drifted off almost immediately. When he woke up, it was still before dawn. She was sleeping soundly beside him, completely unaware that he had gotten out of bed."How many men have seen you in this state?" Joseph thought as he glanced at Cora. Every time he imagined her sharing a bed with another man, getting pregnant again and again, his chest tightened with pain and rage.It was enough to drive him to the edge. Nonetheless, rationality and reality kept him under control.After washing up and getting dressed, Joseph headed for the door."Dad, where are you going? Are you going to come back?" Selena asked.Joseph hadn't expected Selena to appear behind him all of a sudden. He was stunned. Glancing at his watch, he said, "It isn't even daylight yet. Go to sleep. I'm going to the hospital. Of course, I'll come back.""I'll wait for you. Dad, are you and Mom going to get divorced?" Selena asked.Joseph replied, "That's between your mom

Joseph couldn't answer. After all, this was the mess Cora had created. He had been kept in the dark for years. Selena threw herself into his arms and sobbed. He only patted her head gently without saying anything.He hadn't gotten over this hurdle himself. How could he guide her through it?The sound of Selena's crying quickly drew everyone's attention. Cora and the others rushed upstairs and found Joseph and Selena embracing each other.Cora walked over and wrapped her arms around them both. In a gentle voice, she said, "Selena, your dad's home now. We both love you very much. You're going to be alright."Joseph and Cora soothed Selena. It was only after Selena fell asleep that they quietly went downstairs.Joseph still felt a weight pressing against his chest. He stepped outside into the courtyard and lit a cigarette. Then, he noticed that several new carp had been added to the pond.When dinner was served, Kimberly sat right next to Joseph. From time to time, she would reach

"When is Dad coming back?" Selena asked the moment Cora got into the car."Tomorrow. What are you planning this time?" Cora questioned, unable to hold back any longer."I just miss Dad. I'm tired. I'm going to sleep," said Selena before closing her eyes. With her innocent and calm expression, it was impossible to tell what was going on inside her head.When Cora saw Fiona shake her head, she suppressed the irritation and anger within her. After sending Selena home, she stayed there herself, waiting for Joseph's return.Cora only received confirmation that Joseph had taken a cab straight to the hospital and performed surgery the next day."After all that traveling, your first stop isn't home, but it's the operating room? What is wrong with you?" Cora couldn't hide her displeasure. Unable to wait any longer, she headed to the hospital.Joseph had just completed an extremely difficult pancreatic tumor surgery. As always, the surgery had been perfect. His colleagues surrounded him wi

At Lowell Group, Fiona walked toward Cora with a box of roast lamb. She said, "Joseph sent this over. It's lamb leg meat. He told me to let you try it."So, this was the surprise Joseph had mentioned that morning. The aroma of roast lamb instantly caught Cora's attention. After taking a bite, she f

Paige said she believed that Joseph had been framed, but her words didn't fully earn his trust. Currently, he believed that people couldn't be trusted and that only facts could be trusted.Still, her willingness to side with him was useful, regardless of her motives. For now, he chose to accept her
A Man with Nerves of Steel Chapter 75
Once Joseph was focused on work, his mind became completely calm. All of his attention was on analyzing the surgical recordings. Soon, he frowned.The failed surgery couldn't exactly be blamed on Travis' mistakes. Given his age and medical ability, that outcome was already the limit of what he coul
A Man with Nerves of Steel Chapter 74
When Cora entered the study, she found Joseph watching surgical recordings. There was a lot of blood in the recordings. For someone outside the medical field, the graphic scenes were hard to stomach, and she couldn't bear to watch them."Joe, can we have a talk? You can watch those later," said Cor
