Realizing there was still hope for Mona, Gemma and the others did everything they could to save her. Against all odds, their efforts paid off. Half an hour later, Mona had managed to pull through.Reuben's student was especially delighted. He exclaimed that he could write a reflection on his takeaways, which could lead to a breakthrough in treating critically injured patients.Joseph only smiled and remained silent.In the meantime, Yelena's investigation had produced preliminary results. Mona had met up privately with Cora before the car accident, but Yelena couldn't find out what they discussed. She told Joseph that she had a feeling Mona's accident was an attempted murder, triggered by the meeting with Cora. For now, though, it remained nothing more than speculation. She had no direct evidence to back it up.Joseph was very concerned about this as it involved Cora. He told Yelena to focus on investigating Mona's background, especially her connections to him.After some though

"You want to know? Once we're married, I'll tell you everything!" Yara replied."What the hell? I can't believe this bitch really wants to marry me. In her dreams. I'm only going to kill her," Joseph thought.Even so, another sinister thought crossed his mind. He could use this identity to trick Yara into marrying him, get her to hand over her wealth, and then take everything with him. She would be left with nothing.But doing so would be unnecessary and would defeat his original intention. What he really wanted was to make Yara pay for deceiving him and setting him up. He also wanted to find out what she had done to him.Joseph smiled. "Marriage sounds good, but would you really marry down to someone like me? I don't buy it. Even if you actually meant it, Mr. Zahn would kill me when he finds out about this!""Let's get married for real then. Skylar won't be able to do anything. If you really care about me and are still willing to accept me even after I've lost both my legs, then

Soon, Joseph and Cora met and divided their tasks. He would handle everything at the hospital, while she would be moving the body to the funeral home.Before they parted, Joseph suddenly asked, "Ms. Lowell, this is probably a pointless question, but I was wondering if you had some kind of deal with Mona?""Why are you helping me?" Cora countered."I'm only helping because Yara was involved in Mona's accident. She's given me an ultimatum, and I had to prove my loyalty to her. If I can do that, she'll trust me even more. That's the reason why I've agreed to work with you," Joseph replied."You'd really risk everything for the woman you love, huh? Dr. Jebb, you're such a loyal guy! Well then, I'll be honest with you. Mona knew some secrets about Evercrest Industrial. I'm going to use that information to make a little money off them," Cora revealed."A little money? I suppose that means tens of billions to you, Ms. Lowell," he teased."Not that much. It's just under a billion dollars

However, Joseph soon came up with another bold idea. He was going to snatch Mona away first!He contacted Yelena and asked her to prepare some things and meet him at the docks.His informants kept watch at Joseph Hart Clinic and discovered that Cora had indeed shown up there. She only took a glance at the critically injured Mona and confirmed that she had been intubated and couldn't speak. Cora didn't stay and simply went home to be with the children. However, she had left her spy around the clinic, so she would know the moment Joseph appeared.Joseph thought, "Cora, you never expected that I would know about everything and strike first, did you?"He restored his original appearance but still used some makeup to conceal his features. Then, he took his men with him and made his move. He used anesthetic darts to knock out Cora's spy and entered the clinic to take out the medical staff inside before taking Mona away.At the docks, he met up with Yelena and took Mona away.Yelena w

Cora put on quite a performance. The substitute corpse pulled from the medical anatomy pool was the first to be cremated that day.Originally, Joseph's plan had never required an actual body. He only needed some abandoned ashes from the funeral home and a quick photo, and that would be enough.Now that he had the photo from Cora, he went straight to Yara.He sent the caregiver and the others away, then said to Yara, "You scared me to death, Big Sis. My hands are stained with blood from now on.""That fool deserved to die. Even if you hadn't killed Mona, she would've been dead soon anyway. Don't overthink it. If you're still worried, I'll arrange a therapist for you," she replied.Yara already knew Mona had died the night before. Joseph's obedience proved his loyalty to her. She looked at Joseph with affection. He might not be a looker, but the fact that he killed for her still stood.She reached out, satisfied with his erection. "Go lock the door. Why don't we spend the night t

"You… How dare you hit me?" Madeline was stunned.She'd always tried to maintain her image as a demure, refined lady. That sweet, coquettish act always worked wonders on Skylar. Even after getting slapped, her first instinct was to feel sorry for herself rather than immediately fight back or throw herself on the floor and make a scene."You tried to seduce my dad, you cheap slut! You deserved that. If my mom had been here, she would've carved up your face so you'd never dare try it again. Get lost!" Natalie snapped.She proceeded to tell Joseph to shut the door and keep Madeline out.Joseph was a little taken aback. Natalie had fully stepped into her role as Skylar's daughter. She was also beginning to take on more and more of Cora's domineering, relentless bearing.Perhaps this was her true nature. He'd once tried to teach her all sorts of skills in an attempt to mold her into a docile young woman. No wonder she never liked him, biological daughter or not.Joseph sighed inwardly

Chapter 607

No matter how much Natalie protested, Joseph refused to take her into the ICU again. Worse still, he even demanded ten million dollars. Natalie clenched her teeth in fury. She could barely resist the urge to slap him across the face.She still had enough sense left. Even if she paid the ten million dollars, she wouldn't be able to talk to Skylar anyway. Besides, she needed to get home soon. There would be hell to pay if Cora found out what she had been doing.Meanwhile, Jenna had started her shift, but she was tied up in a meeting with Arthur and a consultation afterward. By the time she returned to the department, two hours had already passed.She called Joseph into the office."Wrap up whatever you're doing here as soon as possible. The medical sect could send you to Emerald Mountain for training at any time. Once you're there, you won't be able to leave for a while. They'll also take your phone. All you'll be allowed to do is read medical texts and practice. Nothing else," she

Jenna almost blurted out, "You've been deceived by Joseph. If you fall in love with him now, you'll only suffer more in the future."She examined Yara and was able to determine that Yara was still a virgin, which meant that she and Joseph had not slept together.It seemed Joseph wasn't completely without boundaries after all.Jenna felt somewhat relieved. If Joseph had really slept with Yara, she would've been jealous and heartbroken. After all, the fact that Joseph would rather have Yara than her would have been deeply hurtful to her.Just then, Gemma came looking for her. So, Jenna didn't say anything more and followed her out of the hospital room.Gemma lowered her voice and said, "Where's Henry? Have him leave the hospital and lie low for a while. The first thing Skylar said when he woke up was that he wanted Henry dead. What do you think Henry did to offend him?""Well, he offended him in every possible way," Jenna thought to herself.Skylar was in this state because of Jos

Joseph treated Mona straight through until evening, keeping infection at bay. Her vital signs stabilized, and she made it through the most critical 24 hours.Still, she was merely out of immediate danger. To truly recover and return to a normal life, she would need several more surgeries down the line.Of course, Joseph wouldn't bother dealing with what came next. Once he figured out who Mona was and got what he wanted, he would leave her to Cora to clean up the mess.He spent the entire night in Redwick. But the next morning, he still clocked in for work as usual."Where have you been all night?" Jenna and Gemma asked almost in unison."Just keeping my head down for a while. Since Mr. Zahn wouldn't make things difficult for Yara, he'd definitely come after me," Joseph replied. "After all, I'm a nobody. I can't afford to cross him, so all I can do is stay out of his sight."Joseph had his excuse ready—one that let him off the hook completely.Jenna knew Joseph's background. She

Skylar snorted, confident that Joseph wouldn't dare overstep his bounds. He then asked, "Do you know who Natalie is to me? You brought her in to see me, and you still had the nerve to take her money? Didn't you learn your lesson when I broke your finger back then? Do I need to chop off your hand for it to sink in?""I swear, I did this to save my own skin!" Joseph cried out. "Think about it, Mr. Zahn. Ms. Natalie wanted to come, but Cora wouldn't allow it. If Ms. Natalie showed up here, Cora would find out for sure. And then she'd definitely come after me."Joseph took a quick breath and kept explaining. "So, I had to come up with a story. I'll tell her that Ms. Natalie pressured me and offered a bribe. I'll play the greedy fool who gave in. Then, I'll return the money to Cora so she won't make things difficult for me."Besides, you and Cora are family. The money came from Ms. Natalie, passed through me, and would go right back to Cora. It's just money going in a circle, isn't it?
