A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 290

Chapter 290

After a thorough examination of Jerome, Joseph discussed the case with the other specialists before coming up with a treatment plan. Just as they were about to proceed with it, his heart suddenly pounded like crazy-he had a very bad feeling about this.

He suddenly realized that he had already fallen into Jenna’s trap. If he followed the standard treatment, Jerome would die, and Joseph’s reputation would be in ruins.

Joseph had to rethink everything, quickly running through every detail again. That was when he realized he had missed a key point-the medication Jerome had been given at the Traditional Medicine Center.

After reviewing the handover records from the Traditional Medicine Center-admission notes, examination records, and treatment notes-Joseph called them up himself to reconfirm everything. He even spoke to Sally for a more detailed account of what happened.

After verification with multiple sources, he finally saw through Jenna’s trap.

Jenna wanted to set up the same kind of trap she had used on Kyle against Joseph. The initial poisoning, the medicine from the Traditional Medicine Center-which might have been tampered with for the second time-and even the medicine Joseph himself would likely prescribe could be part of the scheme.

Through multiple rounds of medication, Jerome’s condition could deteriorate into a critical state, ultimately making it impossible to save him.

On the surface, Jerome had been vomiting and experiencing severe diarrhea, but the real issue was his heart. Jenna had targeted his heart, which could trigger a myocardial infarction and other life-threatening complications.

Human nature was unpredictable. Joseph examined Jerome again. Acting on instinct, he made slight adjustments to the treatment plan and immediately began emergency treatment.

By 10:00 pm, Joseph had successfully pulled Jerome back from the brink and had him transferred to the ICU. When he asked who was staying with Jerome, he was surprised to learn it was still Jerome’s female classmate.

Last time, Sally had already mentioned that there was no need for Jerome and his female classmate to keep things so hush-hush.

Joseph didn’t say much further. After giving some brief instructions, he returned to his office.

Seeing that Joseph had no intention of getting off work, Sally offered, “I can send you home, or get you a room so you can rest. You’re already 40 years old. You don’t have to work so hard.”

Did Sally think Joseph didn’t want to get off work? He just had nowhere to go.

Bitterness surged through him again. At 40, he had nothing at all-only an unbearable burden to carry. His life was consumed by anger and helplessness.

Joseph replied, “I can’t just take things as lightly as you do!”

Sally thought Joseph was mocking her for not taking care of Jerome, so she asked, “Do you want me to stay and look after Jerome?”

Joseph really wanted to tell her the truth. Jerome was just a pawn in Jenna’s game against him, and he had no control over his own fate. If Jenna tried to go after Jerome again, it would be better to have his family present to prevent it.

The hospital was crowded, with too many eyes and ears everywhere. The Zahns had immense influence, so Jenna could use her network within the hospital to target Jerome again. Joseph would be powerless to defend against her

attacks.

“If I may be so bold, why don’t you two just get divorced?” Joseph asked. He was thinking that if Sally and Jerome got divorced, she could leave Jenton. As long as she was overseas, Jenna would not have her in his sights.
