A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 46

Chapter 46

Plus, unless he caught them in the act, Cora would never admit it. And if the person she was with wasn’t the father of her children, then there was little value in pursuing it. Looking into it would just prove she cheated yet again.

Standing at the doorway of the study, Cora looked at Joseph. “You must be feeling bored after idling at home for so many days.

Go back to work tomorrow.”

“Fine. I was just thinking the same thing,” Joseph answered with a nod.

He could not stay at home forever. Sooner or later, he would have to face the situation at the hospital.

As soon as Joseph reported for duty, Walt dragged him straight to the ICU to try and save an elderly patient who was on his last legs. The patient was in the late stages of cancer and was on palliative care.

The retired old man had once been a very influential figure back in the day. Now, neither his family nor his associates wanted him to die, and they were trying every possible way to prolong his life.

Earlier that morning, his condition suddenly took a turn for the worse. Travis and the others had done everything they could, but they were unable to stabilize him.

Knowing how capable Joseph was, Walt told him to give it a shot.

Joseph didn’t say much about it. Out of professional duty, he went all in to save the old man. Two hours later, he managed to completely stabilize the patient’s condition.

Walt was extremely pleased and decided to use the opportunity to hold a small meeting to finalize Joseph’s appointment as deputy director.

At the meeting, Marvin strongly opposed it, even slamming his hand on the table at one poirit. Walt’s face instantly darkened.

He wanted to use his authority as the hospital director to shut down the dissent, but a phone call passed to him by his secretary forced him to cut the meeting short.

The call was from a senior official in the local health department that oversaw the hospital. They cautioned him against appointing a doctor with a stain on his record if Walt wanted to avoid trouble.

Though Joseph was never mentioned directly, the implication was obvious.
