Chapter 265

مؤلف: Lunar Flame
In another ward, Grace was taking care of Yasmin. Since they were still considered sisters-in-law and were so far from home, Grace was the only one who could do it.

Yasmin had actually woken up once already, but seeing she was in a hospital room with Grace hovering over her, she just closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

When she woke up again, Joseph was sitting by her bed pulling out acupuncture needles. He had used acupuncture to wake her up.

  • A Man with Nerves of Steel   Chapter 416

    Cora had intended to visit Shirley again, but Shirley was nowhere to be found at the Towne family's estate. Instead, one of her subordinates reported that Shirley had gone to Joseph's company.Cora mumbled to herself, "What's she trying to do? Run to Joe for comfort?"If Joseph relented and truly sympathized with Shirley, then Shirley's scheme would work out perfectly.Cora hurried over. As expected, she found Shirley in Joseph's office, crying.She asked, "What are you doing here pretending to be pitiful? Stop talking to my husband and go back to taking care of Jonas."Knowing that Cora was on Jonas' side, Shirley ignored Cora. Jonas had always trusted Cora more than her anyway. Joseph said, "Cora, you came at the perfect time. What you did today is beyond despicable. If you want to become Jonas' wife, you'll have to divorce me first. But you refuse to do so. Today, you've really overstepped your place."He had spent the entire afternoon with the investigation team and had onl

    Joseph, of course, had no idea Lexi was entertaining such thoughts. If he did, he would make sure she regretted ever having them.Around noon, the head of the task force investigating the blood transfusions invited Joseph to lunch at a local restaurant. Officially, it was to discuss some questions regarding the blood transfusions. Neither Joseph nor Cora had allowed Natalie, Selena, and Kimberly to be connected to the case. They tried to keep the girls out of the investigation to protect them.The discovery of the blood collection vehicle had already given the task force a major breakthrough, leading them to several biotechnology projects owned by the Zahn family's conglomerates.This time, Joseph was given access to some of the project files. As he flipped through the documents, he was struck by the advanced nature of the research. Of course, it was also horrifying from an ethical standpoint.He didn't hold back as he pointed out the countless ethical violations and medical risk

    Joseph mumbled to himself, "That little witch. What was she trying to pull? That old pervert, Victor, either found a woman with Jenna's face or had one made to look like her. Doesn't that mean he'd been entertaining those thoughts all along?"So she must have felt disgusted and betrayed. She can't trust the Zahn family anymore, so now she thinks I'm reliable and comes running to me to vent?"He let out a self-deprecating chuckle. "What does she take me for?"With that, Joseph decided to get some rest.While the outside world was a storm of schemes and shifting alliances, things around Joseph remained relatively quiet. Unfortunately, he started to have nightmares again.Grace stood in the middle of an empty road, covered in blood, beckoning him toward her. Her lips moved as though she wanted to speak, but what spilled from her mouth was thick, dark blood.Joseph jolted awake, drenched in cold sweat.He wasn't a timid man, nor did he believe in ghosts or spirits. It made these nig

    Joseph was annoyed. Since there was nothing he could do, he decided the best option was to step outside for a smoke.Even from a distance, he could hear her crying. Fortunately, he was the only person in the office. Otherwise, people would have thought something terrible had happened and that he had done something to Jenna.After finishing two cigarettes, he realized the crying had stopped. When he saw that Jenna was not coming out, he was worried that something might have happened to her, so he headed back inside. There, he found her curled up on the couch, fast asleep.He called out her name softly, but she didn't respond. Even giving her shoulder a gentle shake didn't wake her up. He checked her pulse and confirmed she was simply sleeping. In the end, she was forced to leave her alone.He sat nearby and went back to reading his books and documents.Time passed quickly, and before he knew it, it was already one in the morning.Jenna woke up with a start, noticing that she was s

    This time, Joseph was treating Richard. The infection had been brought under control, and Richard had accepted his condition. He seemed a lot more optimistic now.Joseph thought the change had come a little too quickly, then he saw the beautiful young woman tending to Richard at his bedside. There was a familiar expression in her eyes when she looked at him, one of love.For the past 20 years, Joseph had looked at Cora with that same expression. He had loved Cora with all his heart.Unfortunately, he had loved the wrong person.Joseph still believed in the existence of love, but he no longer had much faith that love could last a lifetime.Other couples might be able to grow old together, but that was their story.All he could do was silently wish the couple before him a happy future together.Cindy shot Joseph a look and gestured for a private word. So, Joseph had Katie stay behind to explain Richard's post-treatment instructions to his fiancee while he stepped aside with Cindy.

    Arthur consulted Jenna once more. After getting her approval, Arthur allowed Shirley to make arrangements for Jonas' treatment outside the hospital.Once Shirley left, Arthur turned to Joseph, who had remained silent throughout. "Back then, we should've let you treat Jonas. Even Maurice's outcome might have been different."Joseph shook his head. "Don't say that. I'm still lacking in clinical experience compared to all of you."Arthur scoffed. "Don't pretend to be modest. Since you're already here, why don't you take a look at Wallace? Jenna isn't around today."Joseph immediately replied, "Wallace? He's one of Jenna's patients. I wouldn't dare touch that case."With that, Joseph took his leave.As he rounded a deserted corner, Shirley suddenly stepped out, startling him. She deliberately leaned against him, pressing herself close.Joseph said, "Who told you to do what you just did in Arthur's office?""How did you know someone put me up to it?" Shirley asked.She'd barely man

    Joseph met Bernard's scrutinizing gaze and said, "It's genuine. I didn't believe this was the truth, either, so I did a few more paternity tests with different labs. But the results… they didn't change."Bernard didn't speak right away. He just stared at Joseph, his eyes sharp and probing.A bitte

    Joseph walked into the bar and found the owner, Anne Wells. One look at her long, dark curls made him start to doubt that what the hotel front desk had told him was fake.Sure enough, when he said he wanted to repay the room fee and deposit, Anne immediately refused. She denied ever driving him to

    Joseph rejected Cora's unreasonable demands without hesitation. "No way. I meant every word. The paternity test result is real, which means your cheating is real. You've already been unfaithful, so there's no point in keeping this marriage going. We have to di—""Joseph, is this the sort of attitud

    Joseph was prepared for this and met Cora's gaze head-on. "Cora, you're now the richest person in Jenton. Your net worth is what, 80 billion dollars? And that's even a conservative guess. I'm not going to make some ridiculous demand to split everything equally. That money isn't mine, and I didn't ea
