A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 293

Chapter 293

Joseph treated another former patient who had another relapse and seemed to be in critical condition. But after examination, he confirmed that it was food poisoning. Once the toxin was treated, the patient was fine.

That day, Joseph received a call from Cora, saying that his prediction had come true. Three of their housekeepers suddenly came down with food poisoning and needed treatment.

At first, Joseph didn’t say much and told Cora to send them to the hospital. After taking a look at them, he realized they had been transferred from the Traditional Medicine Center.

What happened was that after the three housekeepers fell ill, Cora thought of sending them to Jenton University Hospital for Joseph to treat. But after recalling what had happened with Ella back then and Fiona’s recent persistent vomiting, she suspected he might even make things worse for them and didn’t send them to Joseph right away for treatment.

Instead, Cora sent them to the Traditional Medicine Center, but the treatment there failed. She was left with no choice but to turn to Joseph.

So Cora was no longer as naive as to think Joseph would treat her wholeheartedly, Was she feeling guilty?

Joseph suddenly felt a sense of emptiness. They had finally become like strangers to each other, but he still fulfilled his duties as a doctor and examined the three housekeepers. Once he had identified the poison, he gave

them the antidote.

Once the three housekeepers were out of critical danger, Joseph had his assistant handle the follow-up treatment and did not see them again.

Of course, Cora didn’t show up at the hospital either. She simply called Joseph to ask how the housekeepers were doing and learned he had already neutralized their poison.

Cora tried to take the opportunity to compliment Joseph and persuade him to come home, but he didn’t give her a chance and quickly ended the call.

Less than a day after the toxin was neutralized, the three housekeepers requested to be discharged. Joseph didn’t stop them and let their families handle the paperwork.

Even Jerome was recovering well, so Joseph suggested he go to another city to recuperate. After handling the discharge paperwork, Sally wanted to invite Joseph to dinner, but he turned her down as he didn’t want her to become another target of Jenna’s attacks.

After a few quiet days at the hospital, Joseph received another call from Cora, asking him to attend a specialist consultation at the Traditional Medicine Center.

“Who’s the patient? Send me the medical records so I can take a look.” He could hear the anxiety in her voice and guessed it was either a family member or one of the Lowells’ key business partners.

“Don’t ask so many questions. Listen to me, and come to the Traditional Medicine Center right now.” Cora’s tone turned more hostile.

“That’s not how things work. Besides, I’m really busy here too.” Joseph ended the call without giving in to Cora.

The Traditional Medicine Center? Why did they always think of that place? Even Frank had been sent there back

then.

Joseph asked the hospital director for some background information on the Traditional Medicine Center’s leadership, including retired members.

Very quickly, an elderly specialist from the traditional medicine department came to see him with a file in hand.

“Dr, Hart, here’s the information you requested. If there’s anything not in the file, I should still know a thing or two about it. After all, I’m almost 80 years old.”

Joseph knew that the elderly specialist in front of him was a representative of the hospital faction. He had always kept a low profile and never drawn attention to himself.

Joseph glanced through the documents and realized the contents were things he could find out himself as well He set the file aside and asked, “What does the Traditional Medicine Center have anything to do with the Zahn medical sect?”

“Are you asking about that because you’re competing against Jenna?” the elderly specialist asked.
