Joseph sneered. "Of course, you refuse to get divorced. You're the richest woman in Jenton now. You have wealth and power, so you can simply refuse. As long as I can't find your lover, there's nothing I can do. "But the day you lose everything, your lover will have to protect you. When the time comes, you won't be able to decide if we get a divorce or not anymore."Joseph understood one cruel truth about society. When a woman fell from grace, there was usually another man willing to protect her. But when a man fell from grace, most women would despise him, and those who didn't would simply keep their distance.He pushed those thoughts aside. Frank might be gone from the ICU department, but there were still other patients there. Most of them were critically ill. After all, the ICU was the place closest to the gates of hell.At the end of his shift, Fiona knocked on the door and entered with a smile. "Joseph, when you and Cora have marital troubles, I'm always the one who suffers fo

The next morning, Joseph found Helen waiting for him in his office when he arrived at the hospital.He frowned. "What are you doing here?"Helen looked the same as always. The fire at the Lowell Group headquarters clearly hadn't affected her much. After all, Cora and her employees were still working. They had simply relocated to another office.Helen got straight to the point. "Joseph, come home and reconcile with Cora. We can still be family. Name any condition you want. We'll agree to anything that we can. The girls miss you terribly. They can't live without you."Joseph said coldly, "Tell the girls I'm not their father. Tell them I don't deserve to live with them. In fact, you can even tell them I don't want them anymore. They're children Cora had with another man. Why would I want them?"If you think that's perfectly acceptable, go have children with another man. Then, ask Bernard to raise them. Do you think he'd handle it any better than I have?"Helen frowned. "Why are you

Joseph could afford to act that way because he knew that as long as Belinda didn't betray him, no one could prove a thing. And without proof, he was completely untouchable. Before they left, the middle-aged Zahn family member, Wallace Zahn, shot Joseph a glare filled with murderous intent.Mason watched Joseph thoughtfully before he smiled. "Dr. Hart, you seem to have something against the Zahns. Why is that?"Joseph wondered if he really made it that obvious.He simply replied, "They're insulting my skills and my ethics as a doctor. Respect is a two-way street—if they won't give it, they won't get it. I don't owe them anything, and I certainly don't depend on them, so I see no reason to grovel before them." Mason replied, "They're certainly in the wrong for throwing around accusations based on nothing but suspicion. But the reality is, they have the power to back up their arrogance. "Dr. Hart, I need you to bear with it for now. Sometimes, if you take a step back, you open th

Belinda didn't stay for long since Joseph was very busy. Once he finished handling a critical patient in his department, he went on to reassure the patient's family. After he had a sip of water, he called Grace and made some small talk with her before asking to speak with Mavis, as usual.Joseph was asking about the 120-year-old elder of the Zahn family. "Since you're in Jenton, why didn't you visit the elder of the Zahn family? "I've been a doctor for years, and this is the first time I've ever heard of someone living to such an age. I'd really like to see what he's like.""You mean Owen Zahn? Have you met him?" Mavis was slightly perplexed. "Who am I to visit him? One of the Zahns died, and the Zahn medical sect is blaming Jenton University Hospital. "Since I was placed under investigation too, I looked into the Zahns. Still, they can't just pin the blame on someone over something that never happened.""I do wish to meet Owen Zahn, but he refused to see me. Perhaps he thin

After a thorough examination of Jerome, Joseph discussed the case with the other specialists before coming up with a treatment plan. Just as they were about to proceed with it, his heart suddenly pounded like crazy—he had a very bad feeling about this.He suddenly realized that he had already fallen into Jenna's trap. If he followed the standard treatment, Jerome would die, and Joseph's reputation would be in ruins. Joseph had to rethink everything, quickly running through every detail again. That was when he realized he had missed a key point—the medication Jerome had been given at the Traditional Medicine Center. After reviewing the handover records from the Traditional Medicine Center—admission notes, examination records, and treatment notes—Joseph called them up himself to reconfirm everything. He even spoke to Sally for a more detailed account of what happened. After verification with multiple sources, he finally saw through Jenna's trap. Jenna wanted to set up the same k
