Chapter 253

Author: Lunar Flame
Cora was speechless. She couldn't drag Joseph home by force. They were in the hospital, and members of the Croma faction were waiting outside. If a confrontation broke out, the situation could become troublesome.

In the end, Cora had no choice but to return home alone. The disappointment on Selena's face was obvious. All Cora could do was instruct Ella to keep a closer eye on Selena and make sure the latter didn't do anything impulsive.

    Not long after, Joseph received a call from the specialized burn center. They wanted to transfer another critically burned patient to Jenton University Hospital.Instead of agreeing immediately, he had them explain the patient's condition and send over all the medical data. After reviewing it, he didn't hold back.He said, "You're from the specialized burn center. You have the best specialists and equipment. Treating patients with severe burns is your job. Now, you're trying to dump the patient on Jenton University Hospital? Do you think we're some miracle hospital that can handle everything?"Of course, Joseph rejected the transfer. It wasn't out of pride. The burn treatment resources at Jenton University Hospital weren't as good as those at the specialized burn center. Sending such a critically injured patient there would have been irresponsible.Finding another opportunity, Joseph went to find Frank and asked, "About Yvonne and Kyle, is there anything you can tell me?""Yvonne?

    "Honey, there's no one backing me. I've built everything through my own hard work," denied Cora.Joseph wasn't buying it. "Stop trying to fool me. Whether you admit it or not doesn't matter. The moment you run into a problem you can't solve, the father of your daughters will show up to help you. When that happens, you won't be able to keep him hidden anymore."Cora responded, "You've misunderstood me again. Haven't I been working day and night all these years to build everything Lowell Group has today?" "You're incredibly confident and arrogant. Let's see if you can survive what's coming," said Joseph before ending the call.If the two security guards had been burned in the fire, they probably wouldn't have been sent to Jenton University Hospital. They would have gone straight to a specialized burn center.After having breakfast and a meeting, Joseph went over to see Yvonne. He dismissed the caretakers first.Yvonne had regained consciousness, but the damage to her spine was sev

    Joseph spent the night at the hospital, but he was trapped in a nightmare. He dreamed he had fallen into an endless sea of raging flames, condemned to burn forever.The pain was so intense it felt terrifyingly real. Before his eyes, blisters erupted across his skin, while chunks of flesh blackened and peeled away. It was just like what had happened to Jason, Avery, Wendy, and the others, who had died in the fire. It was gruesome.The pain jolted him awake, drenched in sweat. He looked at the air conditioner and saw that it was still running. Then, he checked the time. It was 4:00 am.After drinking water, Joseph checked his pulse. Nothing seemed physically wrong, so he concluded that the nightmare was probably the result of exhaustion. He wondered whether he should take a few more days off and return to the monastery to clear his mind.Unable to fall back asleep, he made his rounds through several critical care wards. At night, patients groaned as pain robbed them of sleep, while t

All Cora could do was instruct Ella to keep a closer eye on Selena and make sure the latter didn't do anything impulsive.Although Bernard had never liked Joseph, the house felt strange without Joseph. It was especially so for Selena. There was no telling when she would throw another fit.Bernard followed Cora into the study and asked, "What happened? Even you couldn't bring him back? Has he gotten that full of himself?"Cora replied, "He's focused on Kyle now. He's digging into Kyle's connection with me. He already knows that Kyle was tied to the PR department. Now, he's trying to bring the entire department down."Maroon Mansion has just finished renovations. It was

    Joseph didn't know why he had confessed the arson to Grace. He wasn't even completely certain that she wouldn't betray him. After all, it was her own choice.Besides, he and Cora had loved each other for more than a decade. Yet, she had hidden the truth from him all this time and betrayed him repeatedly.So, how could he possibly place absolute trust in Grace, whom he had met by chance and shared only an unexpected relationship with?Joseph didn't regret telling Grace. If she chose to betray him and report it to the Croma faction, he would accept whatever consequences followed.He didn't tell her to drag her into the mess. He just felt that if she truly considered herself his woman and had repeatedly said she wanted to be with him, she deserved to know what kind of man he really was.If she could still remain loyal after this, she would be someone worth cherishing. One bad experience was all it took.When Joseph arrived at the hospital, he pushed those thoughts aside and focused

    Cora had once been the number-one beauty in Jenton. Even now, at 40 years old, she was still stunning. Thanks to her good maintenance routine and a pampered lifestyle, there was no trace of age on her face—she looked like she was 28 at most. Her age only added a touch of mature charm to her.She wa

    When Joseph finally woke from his drunken stupor, he found himself in a luxurious king-sized bed in a hotel room.
