"Jerome Young, male, 35 years old. Heart disease, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high cholesterol, liver cirrhosis…"Joseph continued reviewing the patient's medical records and examination results. The data he had was far from optimistic. Thinking back to the grim expression on the head of the surgery department's face earlier, he realized the situation was even more serious than he had imagined.Still, that just meant Jerome's chances weren't as high as he'd like. Even if he couldn't guarantee success, he just needed to give it his all. As long as he performed at his usual standard and avoided any major mistakes, he could still guarantee a 90 percent success rate.Joseph was already 40 years old now. His wife's affair, his collapsing marriage, and the scandal that he faced at the hospital had all forced him to mature.So, when speaking to the department heads, he played it modestly and claimed he only had a 60 percent chance of success.Unexpectedly, his words immediatel

Cora was in a car not far away. Fiona came out of the hotel much quicker than Cora expected. After Fiona got in the car, Cora asked, "What happened? Did he kick you out?"Fiona thought to herself that she might not have made it out at all if she'd stayed any longer. Joseph was such a rogue that he actually stripped right in front of her.But she couldn't say that to Cora. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to explain things clearly, and Cora would definitely get suspicious of her.Fiona said, "Joseph will go home eventually, but he really does seem like he needs money. As for everything else, he didn't want to talk about it. He said he was exhausted after working the whole day and kicked me out."Then, Fiona added, "Cora, why don't you go up and keep him company?"Cora sighed. "If he's tired, he should just go home and rest. It's so much more comfortable at home. Whatever. If he's tired, I'll just let him rest."Naturally, Cora had no intention of going upstairs. If she di

Joseph knew Selena's personality very well. She was extremely competitive, especially when it came to Natalie. It wasn't just with material things, grades, and accomplishments, but even Joseph's love and affection.Joseph said, "I was too busy to attend it. But if it were Natalie, she wouldn't be as weak as you, getting sick so easily and crying about it. Remember the book you were reading recently? Natalie's the powerful queen, while you're the weak princess. I think the powerful queen is better."Selena gasped. "I definitely won't lose to Natalie! I'm the rival queen who always stays above her!"Joseph chuckled lightly. "I've been very busy lately, so try not to disturb me. From now on, whatever happens, find your mother instead."After calming Selena down, Joseph left the room. Then, he told Kimberly, "Selena is sick, so don't go into her room unless you need to. Otherwise, you might catch the virus from her."He glanced toward the study. Bernard never came out the entire time,

Things in the hospital remained chaotic. The scandal Gregory caused had not been resolved. In fact, it had only gotten worse.Joseph found it strange. Situations like this were usually resolved as soon as possible. The longer it dragged on, the more it would impact the hospital. Surely the hospital leadership understood that.Joseph mused, "Could Dr. Loughlin be doing this on purpose? Maybe he wants to use this incident to weaken Marvin's faction, since Gregory belongs to Marvin's side. But is it really worth it? While it'll hurt their side, the hospital as a whole is also being affected."Joseph knew there were at least two factions within the hospital—Walt's camp and Marvin's camp. Because of the Lowell family, Joseph had naturally been grouped with Walt's side.But he'd never cared much for workplace politics. All he wanted to do was be a doctor, treat patients, and live an ordinary, peaceful life."Forget it. What does a small fry like me have to do with all this? Worrying abo

Joseph repeated, "So the consequences will be serious if I anger Cora?"When he heard that, Joseph didn't feel afraid at all. On the contrary, he started to feel vaguely excited. He actually wanted to see just how powerful Cora really was.Truthfully, he never needed an outsider like Fiona to tell him how formidable Cora was. The fact that she had become the richest person in Jenton already proved that she was far from ordinary.But Cora never brought work matters home. So even after living with her for all these years, Joseph still didn't truly know what she was like outside. Otherwise, he might have already discovered who the real father of the three children was.He asked, "What do you think Cora will do to me?"Fiona looked exasperated. "Joseph, I'm not joking around. You really shouldn't ignore my warning. Cora's methods are beyond what you can imagine. You'd better not force her hand, or you could lose your job at the hospital. You might even pay an even greater price."Jos
