A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 473

Chapter 473

Jenna frowned. “So we’re being this direct now? I thought, given our relationship, you wouldn’t start asking for payment so bluntly. It’s so uncouth.

Joseph asked, “Do good deeds really get rewarded?”

Jenna nodded. “Of course.”

“Well, if that’s the case, you can be the good person and take all the rewards for yourself.” Joseph scoffed.

Jenna pouted. “Hey! Don’t forget, you’re only safe because I’m hiding you here. The moment you walk out, people will be lining up to arrest or kill you.”

Joseph shrugged. “If I’m not welcome here, I can always just head to Jenton Psychiatric Hospital. See you around.”

Joseph waved Jenna goodbye.

“Stop right there!” Jenna could not let Joseph leave. Otherwise, if he changed his face again and disappeared into the crowd, finding him would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

She blocked his way and asked, “What do you want? As long as it doesn’t put me in an impossible situation or force me to break the law, we can negotiate.”

“Now we’re talking.” Joseph still needed Jenna, so there was no point in burning bridges.

As Joseph discussed the treatment plan for the poison, a nurse came in just before noon.

She informed them that Skylar had regained consciousness.

As they left the office, Jenna noticed Joseph following her. She asked, “How exactly did you knock him unconscious?”

Joseph did not give her a direct answer. “It’s a secret.”

Together, they walked to the post-operative observation ward.

Sure enough, Skylar was awake. His oxygen mask had already been removed, and he was able to speak.

Joseph had seen Skylar in photographs before, but this was his first time seeing the man in person. He noticed that Skylar only looked slightly older than he did. He was tall and handsome, with a refined air about him.

His fair features carried a quiet sort of elegance, while his bearing reflected the confidence and composure of a young heir raised by one of the country’s most powerful families.

He truly was an exceptional man. No wonder Cora willingly bore his children for close to 20 years.

Joseph refused to believe Cora didn’t love the man.

At that moment, Joseph felt that no revenge against them could ever be considered excessive.

Now that Skylar had been exposed, his fun would end here. When he was sleeping with Cora, did he ever consider whether he life was sturdy enough to survive the consequences?

Murderous intent filled Joseph. For one fleeting moment, he wanted nothing more than to pull the scalpel concealed in his sleeves and slice Skylar’s throat open.

Of course, that would only cost Joseph his own life, and Joseph wasn’t ready to die yet. Nor did he need to.

After asking Skylar a few routine questions and confirming his condition was stable, Jenna arranged for him to be transferred to a special care suite under the protection of the Zahn family.

Yara wheeled herself over in her wheelchair. “Skylar, you’re finally awake. We were all worried sick while you were unconscious.

Skylar replied calmly, “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”^

Yara asked immediately, “Skylar, who did this to you? Tell me who it was. I’ll cripple them the same way and make them regret ever being born.”

Instead of answering, Skylar looked right at Joseph and asked, “Who are you?”
