All Chapters of A Man with Nerves of Steel: Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

Joseph held all the leverage right now, so Wendy had no choice. If she wanted priority access to Frank, she'd need to go through Joseph. Besides, Joseph already suspected Warren anyway. Telling him about the past wouldn't really be betraying Warren.Wendy sighed. "Right after I graduated from college, Frank brought me to a banquet. He said it was to help me gain some real-world experience. He introduced me to a lot of his friends, hoping I'd meet a suitable boyfriend."Warren was there as well, and that was my first time meeting him. He seemed to know everything, from history to geography to social issues, and even fortune-telling. Everything he said seemed to sound very intelligent."I became very interested in him, so I got his number, and we stayed in touch. One thing led to another, and we eventually became intimate."Joseph asked, "I see. How was he in bed?"Wendy hesitated. "Do… Do I really have to answer that?"Joseph nodded, causing Wendy to wonder what exactly he was try

"What are you doing here?" Lacey was stunned. A mixture of excitement, embarrassment, and insecurity all hit her at once. The moment Joseph stepped inside, his gaze swept across the room. Her underwear and socks were scattered across the couch and coffee table. She rarely cleaned up since she lived alone and barely had visitors. Joseph had shown up without warning and walked right in, leaving her with no time to tidy up."I don't feel like going home tonight, and I don't want anyone to find me. Let me crash here for the night." Joseph walked over, brushed the clothes off the couch, and sat down. From the brands and quality alone, he could tell that Lacey's tastes left much to be desired. That, or she simply wasn't well off."You're staying here? What am I supposed to tell Ms. Lowell?" Lacey hurriedly gathered up the clothes and held them against her chest.Joseph shook her head. "Don't tell her, or anyone else for that matter. I didn't tell a single person I was coming here either

Wendy went to see Frank and called out to him repeatedly, but he gave her no response. Once again, she left empty-handed. The moment she was gone, Joseph had Paige keep watch again while he questioned Frank, extracting a few choice secrets known only to Frank and Warren. As it turned out, Frank had helped Warren build an exotic animal breeding facility deep in the wilderness along Jenton's border. The compound housed numerous rare and protected species. After weighing his options, Joseph tipped off a police officer whose family he had previously treated. With that taken care of, Joseph went to have a meal with Dolly. A few of his patients' families joined them, and once the meal wrapped up, he moved straight into his private consultations. However, his routine was interrupted when a massive multi-car accident occurred on the highway, critically injuring a young woman who happened to be the relative of a high-ranking official. She was rushed to Jenton University Hospital, and th

Bernard was so furious that he nearly threw his phone across the room. A sudden sharp pain stabbed through his chest. He pounded on his sternum several times and hastily swallowed his medication before the crushing discomfort gradually began to ease. Bernard turned to Helen. "We can't let Joseph stay around. If this keeps up, he's going to be the death of me.""We can't? Then what are you planning to do? Cora will never forgive you if you hire men to beat him to death. What's going to happen now? You gave Joseph a chance to apologize to Cora and put this behind them, but he completely threw it back in your face."As she spoke, Helen secretly considered forcing Bernard to go to the hospital for a checkup. His chest pains had become alarmingly frequent lately, and it was a terrible sign. Bernard looked up, his eyes narrowing suspiciously. "He said Cora and Warren went to a hot spring resort together. He told me to put myself in his shoes. Tell me, do you think Cora would really do

"What happened to Warren?" Joseph asked Paige the moment he returned to the hospital."Word is he fell in one of the stairwells in the inpatient wing. He tumbled down a flight and cracked his head against the wall. That knocked him out cold on the spot." Paige relayed the information she had managed to gather.Joseph immediately had a clear picture of what had actually gone down. Someone had almost certainly lured Warren into that blind spot and given him a hard shove. After reviewing Warren's charts and doing a quick walk-by of his room, Joseph could practically visualize the assault. If Warren hadn't completely lost consciousness from the initial tumble, his attacker had likely followed him down the steps to deliver a final, crushing blow against the concrete. Of course, the hospital administration would never admit to that. They would insist that Warren fell down the stairs himself. If they acknowledged an assault, it would be a public relations nightmare—one major incident ri
