Chapter 501

After stepping out of the room, Joseph saw Jenna approach him and ask him to accompany her to Skylar's hospital room.Skylar had already fallen asleep after taking his medication. Otherwise, he would definitely have gone after Joseph again. Jenna had Joseph examine Skylar's wound and asked, "How is it?""It's still infected. He's not ready to be discharged. I suggest changing the treatment plan for the infection."Talk it over and decide what the next step is, but proceed with caution." Joseph left it at that. He looked around the hospital room and realized some of Skylar's work materials were missing. Joseph suspected that the infection had worsened Skylar's condition, forcing him to relinquish control of some of his projects. Or maybe the Zahns had taken that authority from him.If that were true, it would play right into Joseph's scheme. First, he would make Skylar lose everything, then slowly put him through hell. "Got it!" Jenna did not act rashly. She led him out of the

"Oh, right. I didn't think it through. Then don't tell me anything. I'll call your housekeepers over and let them keep you company."Joseph had thought that it would be easier to crush Yara and Skylar down if he could get her to share more of her past. Yara remained silent, merely staring outside at the scenery and people passing by. She suddenly said, "Tell me. Do you think they'll do this for me too when I die? Will anyone cry for me?"Joseph did not say a word, but thought to himself. "If someone like you were to die of unnatural causes, you probably wouldn't even be entitled to a Zahn family burial. You'd be cremated, reduced to ashes, and tucked away in a public columbarium."Yara asked, "Will you cry for me?""Pay me first. Then we can work something out.""You should help me find Joseph too. Once you find him, get him to cure me, and I'll give you a fortune. "You wouldn't ever have to worry about money again. It'd be enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of yo

Joseph watched Cora walk into the hall and disappear from sight. Puzzled, he said, "That's strange. "Why didn't she bring her daughters here? After all, they're considered Edmund's granddaughters too.""Hmph! Do you really think that old geezer needed more grandchildren?" Yara asked. She suddenly reached over and pinched his thigh.Yara was ill and barely had any strength. Still, Joseph yelped in pain and complained. "Why did you pinch me? What did I do to offend you?""Don't ever mention Cora to me again! You're just a worthless piece of trash, so you don't get to talk about this! "I'm warning you—if I weren't sick, I'd teach you a lesson!""Oh, got it. I won't say another word!" Joseph pretended to zip his lips, but secretly, he thought Yara was just a coward who didn't have the guts to own up to what she did.Not long after, Jenna knocked before entering the room. She had come to get Joseph.As they walked down the deserted village road, Jenna asked in a low voice, "You've

"I just got back from abroad and haven't seen Mr. Zahn Senior in a long time. I thought I'd come by and see him. "Since now isn't a good time, we'll be leaving," Gemma said. She shot Joseph a look that seemed to say, "I guess we came at a bad time," before turning to leave. "Hold up. I've never seen you before." Shane opened the courtyard gate and seized Joseph's uninjured wrist without warning. He squeezed hard enough that Joseph couldn't help but groan in pain. Jenna and Gemma were shocked, and Jenna quickly said, "Mr. Turner, this is Henry Jebb, my assistant and my boyfriend. He means no harm."Shane tucked his woven fan into the back of his waistband. He then reached out and yanked off Joseph's mask. After seeing an ordinary yet unfamiliar face, he pried open Joseph's mouth and examined his teeth. Finding nothing suspicious, he let Joseph go and said, "Since you're with Jenna, you should know what kind of place this is. Don't come here without permission again.""Got it!"

Chapter 505

Yara refused to return to the hospital until everything for the funeral had been taken care of. Joseph knew Yara was only putting on a show. To him, she was a complete hypocrite. She loathed Edmund to the core, yet she had no choice but to shed tears for him. Perhaps Yara knew there was no cure for her illness and that she would soon die as well. By then, she wouldn't even have a funeral like this. Her remains would simply be placed in a box and buried in a 21-square-foot plot in a cemetery. Edmund had failed as a father, yet he was allowed to be buried in the Zahn family's ancestral grounds. Even though Yara resented that, she had no choice but to accept it. And now Joseph was only making things worse for her—speeding up her demise. Once they were in the hospital room, Joseph noticed that Yara was in a bad mood. He said, "Ms. Zahn, this may not be the right time to say this, but you have to find Joseph as soon as possible and have him treat you.""And where am I going to

Jenna let out a chuckle. "How could something like that even happen? Dream on!" Jenna quickly denied it, but deep down, she felt a little flustered. Joseph was an exceptional doctor with a refined demeanor and striking looks. He was a man of many strengths—gentle, kind, and charming. With so many admirable qualities, he was exactly the kind of partner she had always dreamed of. "That's disappointing! During my time at Emerald Mountain, I witnessed how fragile life can be, and the heartbreak of losing those we love. "I realized we should cherish the people around us and the moments we have together. I thought we could take our relationship to the next level. I didn't expect we'd still be right where we are. I'm really disappointed!" "Screw you! Do you really think I don't know what's on your mind? You're just using me, that's all. Hmph!""Nothing gets past you, huh?"After returning to the dorm, Joseph called the head of the task force and got straight to the point. "Your in

Chapter 507

After examining Charlie and his family, the results started coming in.Joseph took some forms to get the family members' signatures. Seeing Cora there, he asked, "Are you a family member of the patients?""I'm not, but if you need me to sign anything, I can do it," Cora replied."Oh? You?" Joseph feigned confusion as he studied her. "What are you staring at? Go save the patients!" Cora exclaimed anxiously. She didn't recognize the man in front of her as Joseph and simply assumed he was up to no good. That wretched woman… Joseph played dumb, took the forms back, and handed them to Jenna. She saw that he hadn't found anyone to sign them, but she didn't blame him and arranged for another doctor to handle it. Once the key results came back, they could basically confirm that Charlie's family had been exposed to the same toxin that affected Frank's family. The toxin had affected their brain's nervous systems, leaving Charlie's family in a coma. Jenna and the other doctors studie

"Get out!" Gemma threw Joseph out of the room. Outside, Joseph heard Gemma saying, "Don't tell me you told him everything about the Zahns. Do you really think you two have a future together? If the family doesn't approve of your relationship, you'll never be able to marry him.""I know what I'm doing. But what about you, Gemma? Look at the state Skylar's in, and now you're worried about him? Don't tell me you suddenly realized you're in love with him.""I don't really know either."Joseph didn't listen any longer. Judging from Gemma's tone at the end, it sounded like she was starting to feel sympathetic toward him.A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. He was determined to get back at Skylar, but Gemma wanted to save him. That put them at odds with each other."Let's see how good your medical skills really are…" A competitive glint appeared in his eyes. Joseph wandered around before heading to the nurses' station to slack off.Soon, Jenna came looking for him. She took him to

Naturally, Cora wasn't intimidated by Jenna's threat. She said, "Jenna, I know you've been upset ever since you lost to my husband in your contest over who the better doctor was, but there's nothing you can do about it. "In the end, he manipulated you into taking his side. Do you actually believe all his slander about me?"At that, Joseph reflected inwardly that Cora certainly knew how to spin a story. What a pity, he thought, for everything she had just said was complete nonsense. Besides, he had the facts and evidence to prove it. Jenna replied, "I don't believe everything he said, but of course, I'm just as skeptical of what you're telling me now. "I understand that you're worried about the patients, but you can't just walk in here and tell us how to do our jobs." With that, Jenna gestured for Cora to leave her office. "Jenna, do you know why you lost to my husband? Because you're arrogant and stubborn! And you have poor taste too!"You're so gorgeous, yet you choose to

Chapter 510

"Alright then. I'll get Henry to brainstorm with me too."Once Gemma found Joseph, she dragged him to Skylar's room and said, "Look at the state he's in. How should we treat him?""I can't help. I'm not good enough." Joseph hurriedly refused, especially with Yara present. The last time he had abducted Yara, he had treated her as well. If he demonstrated those techniques in front of her again, she might recognize him."You were able to save Charlie's children. I'm giving you a chance to save this guy too." Gemma pushed Joseph toward Skylar so he could examine him. Those words did make Yara look at Joseph differently, but she didn't actually suspect that he was Joseph in disguise. She figured that if Gemma trusted him, Joseph probably had the skills to back it up. Yara said, "Henry, if you can bring my brother's fever down, I'll pay you handsomely." "Of course, I like money, but I'm not sure I have what it takes to help you," Joseph replied, deliberately looking tempted, as th
