Chapter 471
Jenna was woken up in the middle of the night and rushed to the hospital to treat Skylar. The moment she saw that his broken arm and legs had been caused by blunt-force trauma, she couldn’t help but marvel a the decisiveness and ruthlessness of Joseph’s retaliation.
Then again, considering what Skylar had done to Joseph, perhaps he deserved it.
Broken bones weren’t life-threatening. Once Jenna set them properly, Skylar was completely out of danger.
When she returned to her office, she found Yara waiting for her.
“How is Skylar?” Yara asked.
“His wounds have all been treated. He just needs time to recover. Other than that, there aren’t any other problems, so you don’t need to worry.”
She glanced at Yara but found it difficult to meet Yara’s eyes. After all, she was the one who had given Joseph Skylar’s address.
On top of that, she had also provided Joseph with Skylar’s blood sample. In a sense, all of Joseph’s breakthroughs have been
thanks to her.
Opening up Skylar’s X-rays, she pretended to study them intently.
Yara could clearly see where the bones had been broken. Gritting her teeth, she hissed, “That bastard Joseph actually dared to lay his hands on a member of the Zahn family. I’m going to make him pay with his life!”
Jenna asked casually, “How are you sure it was Joseph? Do you have any evidence? Have you called the police?”
Yara spat angrily, “It was him! What evidence do I need? I’m going to kill that bastard myself.”
Jenna wondered if she should warn him, but she quickly dismissed the thought. If he dared to do it, then he was probably prepared to bear the consequences. Besides, if he can’t survive this, who’s to say Yara and the others won’t kill him someday anyway?
She asked no further questions.
She thought about calling Joseph or even going to Joseph’s company, but after something so major happened, the Zahns had probably already gone there themselves.
Judging by how Yara was acting, they probably hadn’t found Joseph yet. At the very least, he was still safe for the moment.
She decided to focus on treating Skylar instead.
At 8:00 am, however, she saw Joseph walking through the ward. Of course, Joseph was in disguise as Henry once again.
Jenna was stunned. She immediately brought him into her office and shut the door behind her.
Then, she asked, “Have you lost your mind? What gave you the guts to come here? Do you have any idea how many people are looking for you right now? They’d love nothing more than to drag you out and kill you.”
Joseph said calmly, “When I look like this, who besides you could possibly recognize me? I’ll be fine as long as you don’t betray me.”
He was very confident in his disguise. After all, he wasn’t simply wearing a mask. His facial structure had been altered by shifting his bones and muscles, completely changing his appearance.
“You tricked me into joining your side. If I betray you, I’d be betraying myself. Do I look that stupid?” Jenna rolled her eyes.
Then, she added, “But this is the Traditional Medicine Center. I don’t care who you’re feuding with. Settle your grudges outside these walls, understood?”

Joseph replied, “I know my limits.”
