Chapter 378
Joseph didn’t expect Cora to show up again. She even brought along Jonas’ medical records and showed them to him.
“Honey, could you set your personal feelings aside and go to the Traditional Medicine Center? Please save Jonas.”
Without a word, Joseph pointed at the door, gesturing for Cora to get out.
“Look at all the patients you’ve saved-the Snows, the Goulds, the Croma faction, and even outsiders. They’re not exactly good people either. If you can save them, why can’t you save Jonas?”
“Then answer me this. Why do you think I saved those people?”
“Why?”
“Because I wanted to. That’s why!”
Seeing that Cora refused to leave, Joseph took out a bottle of perfume to scare her.
As expected, Cora immediately recalled how she had thrown up nonstop because of Joseph’s perfume. Terrified of being left at his mercy, she fled the office.
The dynamic between a doctor and a patient was a two-way street. If the patient had treated the doctor poorly, the doctor would have been under no obligation to save their life.
Jonas had been insulted by Joseph’s attitude during the medical consultation for Maurice, choosing to retaliate by pulling strings to get Joseph fired from Jenton University Hospital.
Now that Jonas needed Joseph’s medical expertise, Joseph wasn’t about to swallow his pride and play the dutiful healer.
Worse still was the burning suspicion that Cora had been intimate with Jonas. He lacked definitive proof, but if Cora was willing to fool around with Warren in a milk bath, he would have to be an idiot to believe nothing had happened between her and Jonas.
Or perhaps Cora had been unfaithful all along. Given that none of the three daughters were his, he could not bring himself to forgive her or even trust her.
Later that evening, Joseph was having dinner when he suddenly received a call from a Croma faction representative, who explicitly asked him to head to the Traditional Medicine Center to consult on Wallace’s condition.
“Did you go back on the pact we made back then to start working with the Zahns?”
