A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 163

Chapter 163

Joseph wondered, “What am I doing all this for?”

By the time Joseph finished dealing with everything at the hospital, it was already late at night. He didn’t want to go home, so he planned to make do on the office couch.

Standing by the window and looking at the darkness outside, he couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of emptiness and loneliness. Among the patients he’d treated today were members of the Lowell family and the Ashmore family. They were people he despised, or the relatives of those he despised.

Yet, he’d still done everything in his power to save their lives. Perhaps his drive came from nothing more than doctor’s duty and conscience.

As he drifted through his thoughts, there was a knock on the door.

He went to open it and found Cora waiting outside.

“What are you doing here?” Joseph was surprised, but he stepped aside and let her enter.

“Come home. It’s more comfortable at home.” Cora glanced around the office before her eyes settled on the pillow and blanket on the couch. Without a doubt, that couch had become Joseph’s bed.

Joseph remained silent.

Cora said softly, “If not for me, then do it for the children. Selena’s been acting strangely for the past two days. Last night, she smashed a flower pot. Today, she left the faucet running during her shower and flooded half the bathroom.

“She’s become unusually rebellious. She won’t listen to me, and won’t listen to my parents either. But she’s always listened to you. You should go see her.”

Selena…

The name twisted like a knife in Joseph’s chest, suddenly overwhelming him with pain.

“Let’s go.”

In the end, Joseph gave in and left with Cora. Outside, Joseph spotted several bodyguards stationed nearby, while a six-vehicle convoy waited in formation.

Even Cora had changed cars. She was now traveling in an armored luxury van that Joseph recognized as bulletproof.
