A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178

The wind by the Blackveil River was chilly. Joseph didn’t want to catch a cold there either. Once he had regained his composure, he put away his fishing gear and returned to the city, where he checked into a hotel for the night.

The next day, Joseph walked into the lobby and spotted Ella. Clearly, she was there to keep an eye on him. Still, he ignored her and returned to the hospital.

At the hospital, Yvette continued to assign her own people, gaining control over the finance and human resources departments.

Marvin could no longer put off his transfer to the Jenton General Hospital. If the worst came to worst, he would claim to be ill and take a day off to rest at home.

Instead of returning home, Joseph stayed in the hospital dorm or at the laboratory in the Crest District.

Many days passed.

Joseph walked out of the emergency room and headed to his office to get a glass of water. Just then, Fiona knocked on the door and entered the room.

“If you’re here about Cora, just save your breath. Get lost!” Joseph spoke first.

“That’s not it. Joseph, I’m here because I need you to save someone,” Fiona explained.

“Who? Is your friend at the hospital?”

“It’s Ella. She’s at your house now. She suddenly became very weak and couldn’t get out of bed.”

“My housekeeper? She works for Cora. If it’s really necessary, I’ll arrange for an ambulance to bring her to the hospital for a checkup.” Joseph looked at Fiona before calling the emergency response team and had them send someone to bring Ella to the hospital.

“Joseph, can’t you go home and check on her?”

“You treat me like I’m beneath you. Or perhaps you think too highly of yourselves, huh?” Joseph asked coldly. He pulled out a medical record and went through it before returning to the ICU, ignoring Fiona the entire time.
