A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 391

Chapter 391

Joseph received a call from Yelena and returned to Joseph Hart Clinic. Lexi and her family had already learned what had happened to Jonathan and rushed him over.

At the moment, Jonathan’s entire body was twisting in violent spasms. It was as though he were being shocked by electricity.

After examining Jonathan, Joseph administered medication to calm Jonathan’s nervous system and ease the spasms. Then, Joseph invited Lexi and the others into his office.

Joseph said, “Jonathan has been poisoned with a neurotoxin. My clinic doesn’t have the equipment to identify what it is. You should take him to a hospital in a major city for a full checkup.”

Lexi asked, “Even you can’t treat him?”

“My clinic just isn’t equipped for this. Don’t waste any time. Contact a hospital immediately and fly him there,” replied Joseph.

Lexi immediately began making arrangements. Jonathan would have a checkup at a major hospital in Jenton. If the cause still couldn’t be determined, he would be transferred to one of the country’s top hospitals.

While waiting for the ambulance to arrive, Joseph pulled Lexi aside and said, “I warned you not to go easy on the Zahn family. You didn’t listen. Now, you’ve paid the price.”

Lexi was at a loss for words.

After Lexi and the others left, Yelena asked Joseph, “So, the Zahn family really struck back?”

Joseph questioned, “Do you think an old man who’s willing to drink the blood of his own descendants would ever be merciful?”

He continued, “Yelena, put yourself in the Zahn family’s shoes. If you were them, would you sit back and let others carve you up? Especially people like Jonathan, who are nothing more than insignificant opportunists.”

Yelena responded, “Of course, not. It looks like you were right. If you’re going to eliminate a threat, you have to finish the job.”

Yelena didn’t doubt Joseph. She knew nothing about Grace’s relationship with him, nor that after Grace’s death, he had taken charge of her people in Jenton. He had even recruited a few trustworthy newcomers. The group wasn’t large, but every one of them was capable.

Of course, anyone paying close attention to Joseph’s company would also notice that he had opened a corporate bank account and begun accepting investments. However, he transferred the money elsewhere to support the people working under him.

After finishing the treatment for the patient from the Cooper family, Joseph received a call from Cora. She had narrowed down the suspects to two people. One was Mary.

One of Mary’s family members had recently bought a new car, and the money had come from Mary herself. It completely contradicted the pitiful story she had told Cora when begging for work, immediately making her highly suspicious.

Another suspect was one of the bodyguards. Her employment history turned out to be fabricated, and no one could verify her background, which made her suspicious as well.

After Cora questioned both women, neither confessed. Before resorting to torture, Cora wanted to see whether or

not Joseph had another way.

Joseph went to one of the Lowell family’s private villas, where Mary and the bodyguard were locked up.

Joseph questioned the bodyguard first. Threatening to permanently cripple her fighting capability, he finally forced her to reveal her identity. She turned out to be the descendant of one of the Lowell family’s old enemies,

However, she admitted that she no longer had any interest in taking revenge against the Lowell family. She wasn’t the one who had been stealing the children’s blood.

That left only one prime suspect-Mary. Joseph carried out acupuncture treatment on her. All the strength drained from her body. Her body went limp, and she felt as though she had just finished running á marathon. She couldn’t summon even the slightest bit of strength.

Joseph asked, “Who gave you the orders?”
