บททั้งหมดของ A Man with Nerves of Steel: บทที่ 101 - บทที่ 110

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 you're so good at your job. It was a close call, but it all worked out in the end. I'm so grateful to you." Arthur congratulated Joseph. Arthur took off his surgical cap and mask, revealing hair damp with sweat. He hadn't been the lead surgeon, so the sweat was clearly due to nerves.Still shaken, Joseph did not take credit for the success and shared it with Arthur and the rest of the medical team. Together, they went to update the patient's family on the outcome.Joseph stayed at the hospital for lunch. By evening, the patient had come to and was in good condition, which further confirmed that the surgery was a success. Before leaving, Joseph approached Arthur and spoke frankly. "I th

When Cora returned home that night, she burst into the study room without knocking and questioned Joseph sharply, "Why did you reach out to someone like Bobby Baker?"Don't you know what the Bakers do? You've got a clean record. Don't get involved in all this stuff."Joseph knew that even if Fiona kept this a secret, the housekeeper would still follow him. He wasn't even surprised that Cora knew his whereabouts. "You knew I went looking for Bobby, but do you even know why?""You operated on Lionel Baker. Otherwise, you'd never get involved with them. Of course, if this is just a doctor-patient matter that could be handled at the hospital, I won't pursue it any further."But this time, you took the initiative to seek them out. I'm afraid you're going down the wrong path.""There was a problem with Lionel Baker's CT scan. Were you behind this?" Joseph decided to be upfront about it."Of course not. If I hadn't found out about it afterward, I would never have known that something

Joseph mused on the sudden change in Cora's plans, struggling to make sense of it. He couldn't fathom why she would abandon her so-called business trip—a trip he knew was merely a cover to spend time with her lover. It made no sense. Had she truly given up, or was this just a calculated delay, a way for her to stall until she could make her next move?However, his skepticism didn't stop her from following through. Not only did Cora skip her business trip, but she actually accompanied him on a fishing excursion. And unlike the past, she didn't seem bored; with a barbecue set up, she stayed by his side for the entire two days he spent by the water. Over that weekend, she even took him to a private spa for massages. It was one of the businesses under Lowell Group and was open exclusively to women. If it weren't for his relationship with Cora, there was no way he could have entered the premises. Cora asked for a room for two. Together, they enjoyed professional massages and spa treatm

On the day Ernest was scheduled for surgery, Joseph came to the hospital as well. Instead of entering the operating room, he went into the observation room.Inside, aside from several core members of the Ashmore family, Bernard and a few city representatives were also present. A few others whom Joseph didn't recognize were there as well. Judging from their seating arrangements, they were influential figures in Jenton. If Natalie had been present, she would have realized that the woman from the girls' school dorm that night was also there.It was quite a show Walt had going on. He was trying to assert his family's authority while suppressing the Pierces. It was a clever little plan. Joseph remained calm as he took in the situation in the operating room. Walt was already in position, so the surgery had begun. Joseph observed Walt's technique while keeping track of time. He realized Walt was going significantly slower, clearly for safety reasons. However, dragging things out wou

At Lowell Group, Bernard ended his call with Walt and asked, "Cora, how can you help Walt keep his position?"Cora was looking through a file on Joseph, which detailed a surgery he had performed at the Traditional Medicine Center. It was even named as one of Jenton's top ten landmark surgeries. Even though she had no medical knowledge, she could still tell how difficult the procedure was. "Walt's old. He can choose between retirement or taking another position. I'll also talk to Joseph and convince him to return to the hospital. I'll have him take Walt's place.""You want Joseph to become hospital director? Is he even qualified?""Under normal circumstances, no. But he has my support, and that's enough.""Joseph's been more defiant lately. If you put him in power, I don't think he'll listen to you." "I'll talk him into it." Cora couldn't think of any reason Joseph would turn her down. After all, becoming a hospital director would be the pinnacle of his career.Later, Wendy cam
