All Chapters of A Man with Nerves of Steel: Chapter 261 - Chapter 270

Joseph was a little caught off guard, but he was quick to react. He stepped back just enough to dodge the attack before blurting out, "You shouldn't simply pull the needles out like that. The treatment isn't done yet."Zachary was too worked up to listen to Joseph. He yanked every last needle out of his arms, head, and stomach. He then told Joseph to get lost and refused treatment from him."He doesn't trust me, and he's way too volatile. You should just get someone else to take over. To be honest, the fact that he can act like this means he's fine. You can transfer him to another hospital," Joseph said to Yasmin before turning on his heel and walking out.After all, he had a temper as well. Besides, he had plenty of other patients in the hospital waiting for him to treat them.He got back to work. A few hours later, he returned to his office only to find Yasmin waiting for him. "Why are you still here? Shouldn't you be arranging for his discharge and his return to Croma to recover

Cora immediately turned back to look for Joseph, but there was no sign of him anywhere. The next time she heard anything about him, he was already back at the hospital for work.She immediately called him. "Where were you last night?""Where I go is none of your business. But if you insist on an answer, then I'll tell you this—I went looking for Natalie's biological father. I've changed my mind. I'm done wishing the two of you well. I'm going to find that bastard and make him pay.""That's complete nonsense! Nat and the other two are your children!""Cora, don't make me cuss you out! You can play dumb all you want, but I'm not an idiot! If I couldn't even read a damn DNA test report, I'd have no business being a doctor."Since you won't tell me, I'll find him myself! And when I do, both you and him are going to pay!""Fine! Then I'll wait for you to find him, because I'd love to know who it is too! I simply don't buy it. How could I have someone else's children when you're the on

"Joe, what did you do to Yasmin last night? She was literally just in tears, saying you did something to her," Cora said to Joseph over the phone on her ride back."I didn't do anything. If I had, she would've called the cops on me by now. And even if she wouldn't, she would've had her people take me out," Joseph replied from the other end of the line."You must have done something to her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said that.""Then what do you think I did? Or rather, what are you hoping I did?""I-I just hope you didn't do anything.""Then I didn't! Don't you trust me anymore? If you don't, then why are you even talking to me? Jeez.""Don't hang up—"But she was too late. The call had already been disconnected.All of a sudden, the driver yelled, "Oh crap! Brace yourself!"Before Cora could understand what was happening, the car jolted violently as another vehicle T-boned them from the side.They were on a bridge. If their car got pushed over the edge into the river, they

Just as Joseph wrapped up his work and prepared to rest, Helen's call came in. He had no choice but to answer, and she got straight to the point. "Take the afternoon off and come home. Cora's swamped, and Bernard and I are busy too. The children need you.""You already have a new son-in-law. Get him to handle it."The thought of the children seemed to tear open a fresh wound in Joseph's heart. But he knew he couldn't afford to be soft right now. He had to play the villain.Once the Lowell family and Cora herself were in shambles and could no longer keep things together, Cora would naturally be forced to reveal the children's biological father."Joseph, how can you still be so unreasonable at a time like this? Just come back when you're asked to!""What's the point of me going back? You all know perfectly well whose children they are. You want me to come back and live under the same roof as their real father?"Are you trying to humiliate me in my face once more? You people are abs

Joseph echoed Mavis' words, stunned. "The mythical-tier Zahn family?"Thanks to Cora's meteoric rise, the Lowell family had been elevated from a respectable middle- or upper-tier family to one of Jenton's elite families.Of course, on a national scale, the Lowell family was still only considered upper-middle tier.After ending the call, Joseph stood by the window with a cigarette between his fingers, looking out at the streets outside. The further away something was, the smaller it seemed."At that moment, I'm just like another pedestrian down there. Meanwhile, someone from the Zahn family would be standing where I am now, looking down at me from above. They seem mysterious only because they're so far above ordinary people that few have ever even heard of them."In the end, they're still human. They live, age, and die just like anyone else. Barry is no different. He's just an ordinary person. He's no monster."Joseph had always believed in one simple truth. Every human was equal,
