A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 110

Chapter 110

As expected, Cora believed the laboratory was worth nothing and refused to invest a single cent. Joseph wasn’t upset and simply brushed it off with a smile.

Once they got home, she followed him into the study and asked, “How confident are you about operating on Ernest?”

“What do you mean?”

“You gave Marvin a surgical plan, didn’t you? He’s been actively preparing for the surgery, and the Ashmores have probably bought into his story.”

“Cora, you’re not a doctor or the patient’s family. You’ll only get emotional and lose your head. If your know what’s good for you, stay out of it.” Joseph didn’t want to discuss hospital matters with her.

*Joseph, I have something to tell you. I’ve decided to fully support your medical career and make you the director of Jenton University Hospital.” Cora didn’t beat around the bush.

“Oh? You want to make me the hospital director? What do you need me to do for you and your family?”

Joseph was a little taken aback. As he recalled Walt’s comment about the Lowells’ medical network, he couldn’t help but eye her with suspicion.

“You don’t have to do anything for me. I just want to support your career.” Cora beamed prettily at him.

“Ha! You scheduled special-case surgeries for your family, outsourced the hospital’s pharmaceutical procurement and inventory system to your family business, put your family members on the hospital payroll for doing nothing, and so on.

“Cora, what exactly are you trying to hide here?” Joseph laid it all out in one go.

“You…” Cora was dumbfounded, completely not expecting Joseph to be so upfront about it. From his tone, she knew he had no intention of following her orders and was determined to go against her.

It suddenly occurred to her that Bernard was right-Joseph was becoming more and more defiant.

“If I get involved in your family matters, your parents will be unhappy. Don’t bother making me a hospital director. You should appoint one of your lovers instead.”

“You… You keep getting the wrong idea about me. When does this end? What do you want now?”

“Come on. You still haven’t told me who Natalie’s father is.”

Cora’s expression instantly darkened.
