Chapter 203

作者: Lunar Flame
When Joseph woke up again, he didn't say another word to Cora. He got dressed and walked right out without even saying goodbye to the kids.

He went to check on the patient from last night's surgery first. As the patient was out of the woods and most likely wouldn't suffer any post-op complications, the next stage would be recovery.

He then went to see Frank. Joseph was confident he could get the man to talk, but he was in no hurry.

He wanted to achieve two things—make Frank talk and ensure he

    "Oh, do whatever you like. You can call me 'Dad' if you want." Joseph was slightly taken aback, though he still agreed.None of Cora's daughters was his, but they had been calling him "Dad" for years. It didn't matter if he had another child who wasn't even his. Perhaps a makeshift family wasn't such a bad idea after all."Dad! Dad! Dad! Thank you so much!" Brooke called out enthusiastically. She then poured him some tea and handed him the cup. "Have some tea."After taking a sip of his tea, Joseph pulled out a wad of cash from his bag. "You've been waiting for this, haven't you? "Well, I have some advice for you. When times are hard, money matters most. I come second, okay?""Dad, you're the most important man in my entire life! Of course, money is important, but without you, money wouldn't mean anything to me!"I won't let anyone bully you—over my dead body! I'll always be your daughter, no matter what!""That's enough. Don't get all carried away. It's time you did your hom

    After Rosalie took a shower, she saw Joseph close the door, turn off the lights, and go to bed early as usual. She couldn't help but feel curious about him.Seeing that Brooke still wasn't asleep, she asked, "What's up with you tonight? You're all worn out, but you still aren't asleep.""I asked Mr. Hart for some money, and he said he'd even cover your expenses for next month. Are you two secretly seeing each other behind my back? Have you two been having sex once I fall asleep?" Brooke asked."Is your brain full of crap or what? You don't even care that your studies are falling apart, yet you're so concerned about whether I'm sleeping with Joseph? "What are you really up to?" Rosalie couldn't understand why Brooke cared about this."Tell me. Did you two already have sex?""Yes. Stop being so nosy.""Oh? You did?""Of course. Otherwise, why would he even be so good to us? There's no such thing as free lunch in this world. Only you could be so naive!" "Damn! Rosalie Sullivan,

    Once the treatment was over, Joseph got ready to leave. It was Grace who walked him out. "I decided not to keep it a secret from Mavis, yet she didn't hold it against me. She actually gave me her support."You know her better than I do. What do you think she meant by that?""She said she'd support us. That's exactly what she meant." Grace's cheeks went red. Mavis had actually openly expressed her support for Grace and Joseph to be together. That meant they could be in a relationship. She could even tell her entire family that she was Joseph's girlfriend. "Oh? Isn't she just worried that I won't do my best to treat her? That's why she asked you to be with me. Isn't this just some kind of transaction?""Well, what do you think? Is it just a transaction?" Grace looked at Joseph earnestly. She wanted to know what was on his mind. "I don't think it's entirely a transaction, but you can't say it isn't one. To all of you, my medical skills are my only real value. "Some pretend to

    Joseph didn't want to waste time arguing with Helen. He stubbed out his cigarette and went to check on Frank. Instead of treating Frank, he reviewed his data in the ward and took his pulse. Joseph also told Frank that his wife and children were on the road to recovery. If everything went well, they could be discharged and go home in a week. When Frank heard that, Joseph could see the gratitude in his eyes.He also mentioned that he would be staying at Frank's apartment near Brooke's school for a while. At that moment, he noticed a flicker of disdain in Frank's expression, and even a sense of relief. As a businessman, Frank understood the trade-offs between gain and loss. Joseph had sharp hearing and immediately noticed someone eavesdropping outside. He stopped talking and opened the door to see Helen standing there. "Were you talking to Frank? Can he talk now?" Helen looked slightly embarrassed but didn't say anything. She didn't want things to end up awkward."Yes. He can

    Joseph had no idea about what Brooke and Rosalie were up to. After all, he never thought of sleeping with Rosalie. He would never even entertain the idea of providing for Brooke long-term. They weren't even related, so he had no responsibility toward her. Joseph simply wanted a place where he could rest properly—somewhere his friends and family, like Cora and Grace, couldn't find him.The same thing went on for the next three days. Over the weekend, he did not go to the hospital and chose to stay at Rosalie's new place.During the day, Rosalie and Brooke invited him to go shopping with them, but he turned them down as well.At night, Rosalie offered to please him with her hands, but Joseph said he would rather go all the way. Otherwise, he would rather not do anything at all. Rosalie could only give up on her idea. On Monday, Joseph arrived at the hospital. As soon as he turned on his phone, he found himself bombarded with messages. Most of them were from Cora, her family, a

    When Joseph arrived at his office, he received a call from Cora almost immediately. He hesitated for a moment before taking the call.He spoke first. "Stop using Kim to interfere with my work, and don't let her get caught up in our divorce. I hope today's the first and last time.""Kim just misses you, that's all. You know she likes you best, and at home, she listens to you more than anyone else."You haven't been home in a few days too, so I thought I'd let her see you for a bit. She misses you, that's all," Cora explained gently. "Kim will eventually have to get used to a life without me. What you're doing now is pointless. Cora, stop using our daughters to get to me. We should quickly file for divorce too.""Honey, let's not get a divorce…""Did you really think I'd agree to your mom's ridiculous plan and accept your infidelity, living the way we used to? Don't be so shameless! Cora, I don't want your money at all. All I want is a divorce.""No way.""You're impossible. You

    With a bit of luck and Lady Luck smiling on him, Joseph successfully performed the surgery. A thorough postoperative examination confirmed that all of the lesions had been removed. Since the patient's vital signs were stable, the surgery was considered a resounding success. "Dr. Hart, good thing y
