A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 332

Chapter 332

The moment the call ended, Cora felt extremely dejected. When she got home, the place felt emptier than ever.

Not in the mood to deal with the kids, she locked herself in the study and started drinking alone.

Helen came in and, seeing how upset Cora was, asked worriedly, “What happened?”

“Joe was forced out of Jenton University Hospital. He’s gone on vacation, and he won’t involve himself in Jenten’s affairs anymore.”

Helen replied, “I told you his stubbornness and arrogance would eventually get him into trouble. How could he possibly go against everyone on his own? Him taking a vacation isn’t a bad thing. At least we’ll have some peace and quiet.”

“Peace and quiet? We still haven’t found the mastermind behind the fire at our headquarters, and we haven’t found the person responsible for the poison either. Without Joe at the hospital, I feel insecure.”

Cora downed her glass and poured another. “Joe isn’t some lone wolf anymore. He’s saved a lot of important people and built many connections.

“Now that he’s been wronged, they aren’t just going to sit back and watch. They’ll seek justice for him. His skills make him highly sought after.”

Although Helen acknowledged that having Joseph as a doctor benefited her and the Lowell family, she still scoffed. “He’s not the only doctor in Jenton. What’s he got to be so arrogant about?

“As long as we put the word out that we’re looking for doctors, we’ll have doctors lining up to join us-doctors who are better than him.”

“Like who? Who’s better than him?” Cora shot back.

Helen was speechless for a moment.

Indeed, she couldn’t think of anyone whose medical skills surpassed Joseph’s.

Helen admitted, “I-I don’t know the industry that well, so I can’t name names. But money talks. If we throw enough cash around, someone will step up to the plate.”

“Don’t give me all that idealistic nonsense. If we get poisoned and Joe isn’t there to treat us, we’re dead meat. Just look at Maurice. When I got home just now, the doctors over there issued another critical condition notice.”

Cora rubbed her temples. “More people from the Croma faction just boarded a flight. They’ll be in Jenton tonight, and they’re explicitly coming to demand justice for Joe.”

“The Croma faction? What gives them the right?”

“An elderly member of the Croma faction received treatment from Joe a few days ago and got better. That’s why they’ve come here to win Joe over.

“Mom, people say that for an elite family like ours, the only way to rise further is to have a miracle doctor backing

us.”

“You’re saying they want Joseph because they think he can elevate their family’s status?”

“Exactly. It’s just like how the Zahn medical sect acts as the Zahn family’s shield. Thanks to them, the Zahn family’s patriarch has lived to 120 and may live even longer.

“When someone at that level lives for a century, their sheer experience and foresight become an invaluable asset.”

After finishing her drink and getting this off her chest, Cora felt less frustrated. She put the alcohol away and said, “Mom, we have to win Joe back. He’ll be our protection.”

“It’s good that you’ve realized how important he is. But Cora, you still need to solve the biggest problem in front of you. How do you expect Joseph to accept the children?”

“They are his kids…”
