A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 463

Chapter 463

Joseph had no idea about Cora’s ambitions, or rather, how determined she was.

Now that Jenton was in turmoil, Cora had a real chance to rise to the top if she were ambitious enough. If she could absorb the Zahn family’s businesses and build on the foundation of the Lowell, Banks, and York families, she could truly become the dominant force in Jenton.

By the time Joseph woke up, it was already afternoon. He grabbed a bite with Katie before heading back to the company to rest.

Come evening, he returned to the clinic, collected two samples, and went inside to run the comparison tests.

Later that night, Jenna had someone deliver a sample as well. It was a sample of Skylar’s blood.

Cora called, but Joseph ignored it. A text followed, saying she was right outside the clinic. Joseph refused to let her in and kept his focus entirely on the tests.

In the early hours of the morning, the test results, which came out quickly, left Joseph absolutely stunned.

The two samples his own people had acquired both came back negative, showing no connection at all.

But the blood Jenna sent tested positive, meaning Natalie, Selena, and Kimberly were indeed Skylar’s kids. Why were the results conflicting?

Joseph felt no sense of joy, only crushing heartbreak. Now that he had found the children’s biological father, he would truly have nothing to do with them anymore.

They had finally become somebody else’s children.

He had spent over a decade pouring his heart and soul into them, all for nothing.

Wondering if there had been an error, Joseph ran cross-comparison tests since there were still samples left. Then came another long wait.

For three whole days, Joseph didn’t set foot outside the clinic.

After running the tests over and over again, he was finally sure that all three girls were Skylar’s.

When he was finally alone, he locked himself in the clinic’s bathroom. Standing under the shower, he finally broke down, crying for a very long time.

After that, without telling a soul, he left Jenton and went back to that monastery. He meditated and read scriptures, trying to find some peace within himself.

A few days later, Yelena showed up. Seeing Joseph still sporting a shaved head and wearing loose, casual clothes, she smiled a little. No one else knew where he could be, but she did.
