A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 289

Chapter 289

It wasn’t difficult to treat the nurse’s poisoning. Joseph didn’t even need to run a toxicology test to figure out the poison, as he already knew how to treat it.

Once the nurse was in stable condition, he asked about Jenna, only to be told that she had already left the hospital.

After checking the surveillance footage and hearing the nurse’s account of what had happened, he determined that she had never come into direct contact with Jenna. She had most likely been poisoned by the milk tea she drank earlier.

The drink had been delivered by an employee from a nearby store, who had no motive to harm her. A closer investigation revealed that someone had spiked the drink while it was being delivered.

The culprit was a local thug, and the issue would require further investigation by the police. After a thorough investigation, they couldn’t find any direct evidence linking Jenna to the incident.

Joseph gave Jenna a call and got straight to the point. “What do you really want?”

“Apologize to me. Then I want you to have dysentery for the next seven days. Admit that you were the one who killed Kyle and the others.”

“You’re crazy! You’d abandon your medical ethics just to frame me?”

“Don’t try to guilt-trip me. It won’t work! Joseph, let’s settle this once and for all. You’re the one who’s crazy, not

“I’m coming for you, so you won’t get away with this. There’s no escaping it”

Joseph ended the call, furious yet calm. If he really took on the challenge, he would be falling straight into Jenna’s trap and exposing more of himself. She might even find something to use against him.

But if he didn’t accept the challenge, more people would suffer.

After giving it some thought, Joseph decided to call Cora, but she didn’t answer and rejected his call every time.

“Damn it! Cora, what on earth are you doing?”

Joseph called Bernard and Helen as well, but they said they were busy and ended the call. Next, he called Natalie.

“Joseph, I’m in class. What’s up? Have you made a breakthrough in your investigation?” Natalie asked. He could tell she was speaking in hushed tones.

“None at all. I want to talk to you about something else, and it’s really important. Someone might try to poison you, so you have to be on your guard.

“No matter where you are, don’t drink anything once you’ve left it unattended. Be more cautious,” Joseph explained.

He had already compared photos of the Zahn men he could find with Natalie, Selena, and Kimberly, and none of them resembled them at all. They all took after Cora.

“Poison me? Who?”

“The Zahn family. When you get home tonight, remember to give your mom and your grandparents a heads-up. Tell them to be on their guard.”

“How can this be? You gave me hope for a better future, and now you’re telling me they want to poison me? What

are you even talking about?” Natalie was extremely displeased.

“What’s yours will eventually be yours. Otherwise, no matter how much you think about it, it won’t make a difference!” With that, Joseph ended the call, looking very grim.

From the earlier poisoning of the nurse, it was clear that Jenna would stop at nothing in this contest to determine who was better at medicine and poison. Once it began, it didn’t matter who got caught up in this mess.

Given the Zahn family’s medical background and capabilities; if they wanted to take him down, a man entirely on his own would have no way to protect himself.

“Jenna, you’re nuts! Your sins run deep. When it catches up with you, there’ll be no way out!”

Joseph went through all the Zahn men he had met before in his mind. The information he had was limited, so he still couldn’t figure out which Zahn man Cora might have been involved with.

Was there even anyone truly outstanding among the Zahn men from 20 years ago?
