A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283

At home, Cora was once again talking to her team. They had completely lost Joseph’s trail. Even after searching all the places he was likely to be, he was nowhere to be found. Cora was extremely upset, but there was nothing she could do about it.

In the end, a surge of frustration overwhelmed her. She grabbed her laptop and hurled it across the room.

Hearing the commotion, Bernard and Helen immediately knocked before entering the study. When they saw that only the laptop had been thrown, they quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Helen began, “Cora, you…”

Cora immediately cut her off. “Mom, I’m fine. I just lost my temper for a moment.”

She then walked over and picked up the laptop, examining it. The screen was cracked, but the display still worked. The keyboard was undamaged, so it was still perfectly usable. It was definitely a well-built laptop.

Bernard said, “Is it because of Joseph? He refused to help you when you needed him the most. Why are you still thinking about him? This isn’t the time to let emotions get in the way. This concerns far more than just you; it concerns our whole family.”

Helen added, “Exactly. What connection does he even have to our family anymore? If you don’t make this a clean break, you’ll only make things harder for yourself.”

Cora frowned. “How many times have I told you not to push for this divorce? You should be persuading him to come home instead. We can’t afford to lose him. Mom, Dad, you’re getting older. When you get sick, you’ll need a doctor. And Joseph is the best doctor in Jenton.”

Bernard said, “I’m perfectly healthy right now. I don’t need a doctor.”

Cora shook her head. “You don’t understand. If you look back through history, advances in medicine have greatly influenced the success of civilizations. Even now, the Yeager family is doing their best to win Joseph over. Mavis owes her life to him.

“They understand that a family will gain another layer of security if a doctor like Joseph is protecting them.

“I’ve also looked into the Zahns. They actually have an entire medical branch devoted exclusively to serving the family. They exist solely to safeguard the Zahns. And do you know how old the patriarch of that family is now? He’s 120. Can you live to that age, Dad?”

Bernard fell silent. He had imagined living into his eighties, or maybe ninety if he was lucky. But one hundred? That sounded impossible. As for a hundred and twenty, that was absurd.

Bernard sighed. “But Joseph won’t listen. He refuses to come back.

Cora replied, “AM this is just one big misunderstanding.”

Helen got straight to the point. “Cora, you keep calling it a misunderstanding, but that’s just brushing over the problem. You need something more concrete to resolve this misunderstanding. From Joseph’s perspective, he has a DNA test. That’s scientific evidence that you can’t simply ignore.

“If the children aren’t his and aren’t yours either, you could say the hospital made a mistake or that the babies had been switched. But the children aren’t his, and yet they are yours. That only leaves him with one conclusion. Do you really think he’ll believe it’s a misunderstanding?”

Cora shook her head. “Mom, do you not believe me either? Do you really think I slept with another man? I didn’t
