All Chapters of A Man with Nerves of Steel: Chapter 521 - Chapter 530

Joseph had no interest in climbing the ranks, so he declined the promotion, saying his experience was still lacking and he had no ambitions. He expected Gemma to be displeased, but she acted as if nothing had happened and just dropped the issue. Why was Gemma so easygoing? Did she really believe Joseph could cure Skylar? She definitely had an ulterior motive.Although Joseph had turned down the promotion, Gemma continued to value him. She gave him unrestricted access throughout the department and even allowed him to review every patient's medical records.While Gemma was busy treating other patients, Joseph slipped into Skylar's ward. Skylar was asleep, hooked up to an IV drip. Joseph checked Skylar's temperature before taking his pulse as part of the routine examination.Suddenly, Joseph narrowed his eyes. There was another abnormal substance in Skylar's body. Someone had administered a special drug. Who was trying to kill Skylar?Out of the corner of his eye, Joseph glanced at

Glancing over her work log, Gemma asked Cora, "What do you guys want with Yara?"Belinda snapped, "Whatever it is, that's between Yara and us. You don't need to know. Now quit wasting time and let us through!"Gemma shot back, "If you don't tell me why you're here, then I can't let you see her."Belinda's temper flared. "Say that again."Gemma stood her ground, enunciating each word slowly, "If you do not tell me why you are here, I cannot let you see her.""God, you're really testing my patience. I ought to smack you…"Realizing things were escalating fast, Cora quickly grabbed Belinda to hold her back. At the same time, Joseph came over to position himself in front of Gemma.He was just a total nobody, but he couldn't exactly stand by and watch his boss get smacked.Once Cora had calmed Belinda down, she turned to Gemma. "We're here to talk to Yara about our project. It's highly confidential. Are you sure you want to know about it?""Look at what state Yara's in, and you're

Gemma asked, "Oh, really? So your bet was that I slept with him?""Obviously. You're gorgeous, Gemma. Any guy would jump at the chance to sleep with a beauty like you. Before Mr. Zahn was hospitalized, he was a big shot. And you two would be the very picture of a perfect couple," Joseph responded. "If you think that, then you're blind. What a waste of a perfectly fine human body. Having that thing on you is an absolute waste."Joseph asked, "What thing are you talking about?""I'm talking about your conscience!" Gemma huffed.Even though she said that, her gaze briefly flicked toward Joseph's crotch, the implication needing no words.Alas, Joseph completely missed the innuendo. "So, did you guys actually do it or not?""You idiot! If you can't speak like a normal human being, then get the hell out. All you do is say things that ruin my appetite.""That sounds like a yes to me. I won the bet."Joseph gave a mischievous grin before lowering his head and shoveling food into his

Gemma rolled her eyes at Joseph. "What's that got to do with me? I couldn't care less!"Joseph really knew how to hit a nerve. If Skylar wanted to marry Cora, no one in the Zahn family would object. After all, Cora was insanely rich, and money could solve most of the Zahn family's problems."Everyone has to look out for themselves. Gemma, between you and Cora, I'd much rather see you end up with Mr. Zahn."Just give me the green light, and I'll move heaven and earth to make it happen. I'll make him fall head over heels for you.""W-What are you planning to do?"Gemma suddenly felt a sense of unease. She thought that maybe the person in front of her might be more capable than she'd given him credit for. And maybe that hidden side of him was exactly what Jenna saw in him."To make Mr. Zahn fall for you, obviously. The specifics are a secret for now. Just go along with me this once, and it's a done deal. If it doesn't work out, you can have my head.""I'm tempted to rip your head o

Back in the office, Gemma asked Joseph to massage her shoulders. She then complained about an itchy collarbone, asking him to scratch it for her.Joseph was well aware that Gemma was both testing him and throwing him a bone. As such, he played the same game, doing the whole coy, push-and-pull routine right back at her.Even so, Gemma knew where to draw the line. After all, they were still at the office, so she didn't let Joseph's hands wander any further.Sure, fooling around in a medical office was thrilling, but it was super risky. This wasn't like an office in the administration building, where hardly anyone passed by.Doctors and nurses could barge in to ask questions at any second here. Besides, Reuben had arrived much sooner than Gemma expected, so she didn't dare continue fooling around.As soon as Reuben arrived, he made a beeline for Skylar's room. While checking Skylar's pulse, he noticed how terrifyingly weak it was, causing him to frown deeply.The younger and middle-
