A Man with Nerves of Steel의 모든 챕터: 챕터 331 - 챕터 340

The moment the call ended, Cora felt extremely dejected. When she got home, the place felt emptier than ever.Not in the mood to deal with the kids, she locked herself in the study and started drinking alone.Helen came in and, seeing how upset Cora was, asked worriedly, "What happened?""Joe was forced out of Jenton University Hospital. He's gone on vacation, and he won't involve himself in Jenton's affairs anymore."Helen replied, "I told you his stubbornness and arrogance would eventually get him into trouble. How could he possibly go against everyone on his own? Him taking a vacation isn't a bad thing. At least we'll have some peace and quiet.""Peace and quiet? We still haven't found the mastermind behind the fire at our headquarters, and we haven't found the person responsible for the poison either. Without Joe at the hospital, I feel insecure."Cora downed her glass and poured another. "Joe isn't some lone wolf anymore. He's saved a lot of important people and built many c

But did any of that really have anything to do with Joseph? He certainly didn't think so.After spending three days at the guesthouse, Joseph left and headed for the monastery.The abbot welcomed him. After sharing a meal and some tea, the abbot asked, "It hasn't been long since we last met. Why have you come back so soon?"Joseph said, "I don't have work at the moment, so I thought I'd take some time to relax. If you think I'm disturbing your peace, I'll leave."Joseph had donated some money and paid for his stay."It's fate that brought you here. How could I drive you away? Besides, your visit might help me solve another problem," the abbot replied with a smile.The abbot understood that the monastery needed money to continue operating. Joseph had donated generously during his previous visit and had brought another donation this time. How could he possibly turn away such a benefactor? Not to mention, Joseph had once saved his life."What problem?" Joseph asked.The abbot answ

Two days later, the woman returned once more. The moment she saw Joseph, she froze. He had shaved his head completely bald. "Did you actually join the monastery?""I just shaved my head. It doesn't mean I joined the monastery." Joseph had simply grown tired of washing and maintaining his hair, so he had someone shave it off. Then, he looked at her. "What are you doing here again?"The woman said, "I spent the last couple of days in Jenton. I tried to get a good idea of your situation, and I can more or less tell that someone's going to kill you if you go back. I don't understand it. You're just an ordinary doctor. How did you end up making so many enemies?"As she spoke, she poured herself some tea.Joseph said calmly, "In that case, I just won't go back. I'll stay here on the mountain."In truth, Joseph wasn't afraid of dying.But he found himself reassessing the woman before him. She had traveled all the way to Jenton to investigate him. The fact that she knew people wanted h

Since Joseph refused to go home, Cora was forced to leave.Joseph was deeply disappointed in Cora. The peace he'd finally found had been disturbed once again.The night passed peacefully, but he didn't sleep.The next day, Joseph went over to Dolly's place to examine Belinda. He found that she had essentially made a full recovery. At the same time, however, he noticed something else.Belinda's body was unusually sensitive. It appeared someone had repeatedly administered drugs that stimulated estrogen production, artificially heightening her sexual desire.It was most likely Barry's doing. That explained why Belinda had been so determined to strike a deal with Joseph and have Barry eliminated.While performing acupuncture on her, Joseph quietly made a small adjustment of his own, desensitizing the nerves responsible for sexual arousal.Women consumed by desire were more likely to become emotionally attached, allowing feelings to cloud their judgment and interfere with important d

"Cora, do you still expect me to be the same man I used to be? Do you think you can still deceive me whenever you want to?" Joseph asked. Deep down, however, he knew Cora was right. He could stand by and let Jonas die, but he could never do it to a child like Mia.Whether Jonas' closeness to Cora had been genuine or merely a convenient cover, Joseph had every intention of making Jonas pay dearly. But what did an innocent little girl have to do with any of it?And Shirley's desperate plea ignited Joseph's compassion as a doctor."I never deceived you!" Cora answered instinctively, but she still felt a flicker of guilt. As she looked at the chessboard in front of them, Joseph had already sealed off any possible escape she had. Under normal circumstances, she would have resigned.Joseph calmly took a piece and said, "Both with Frank and with Warren. You refuse to admit anything happened, but whatever relationship you had with them definitely crossed the boundaries of what I consider a
