“I’m going to kill you!” Yara immediately reached for the fruit on the bedside table and hurled it at Joseph.
“See if you can dodge this!”
Seeing Joseph dodge the fruit, Yara threw another at him. And another until she had run out of fruit.
When she heard Joseph say that getting worked up like that could lead to an amputation sooner than expected she finally stopped.
Earlier, Joseph had already caught one of the bananas. He peeled it, took a bite, and said, “Look at you. I’m telling you the truth, yet you don’t want to hear it.
“But if I didn’t say anything, you’d never know. Now that you know about it, at least you’re aware of what’s going on. The choice is yours.”
Yara let out a soft scoff, but she had no way to refute Joseph.
He even said, “Actually, there’s another person who may be able to save Mr. Zahn. I’m talking about Joseph Hart, the guy who defeated Jenna in a medical duel.
“If you approach him, he might have a way. Two months ago, he treated a patient at Jenton University Hospital who was in an even worse condition than Mr. Zahn.”
“Joseph Hart?”
“Exactly! In fact, I believe Joseph could treat you too. He was able to cure Wesley, whose condition was even worse than yours. If he treats you, he should have a better chance of curing you.”
“But where’s Joseph?”
“You’ll have to use your family’s connections to track him down.”
After finishing his banana, Joseph was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something. He said, “One more thing. I’m not sure if I should tell you this. Perhaps you could take it as a suggestion.”
Yara let out a light scoff and told him to get on with it, so he said, “Given your condition… I suggest you find a man and truly experience love.
“Experience what it’s like to be a woman. After all, you’re still physically whole for now.”
“Get lost!” Yara scowled.
Joseph’s words were harsh, but they were the truth.
If Yara ended up having an amputation, how would she ever find a man? What kind of life would she have after that? If a man saw her like that, would he even feel any desire for her?
Also, with this illness, Yara didn’t have long to live. If she didn’t find someone now, she might never get another chance.
Amidst her fear, panic, and despair, she thought of Joseph. That despicable man disgusted her, but his medical skills were remarkable. He was now her only hope.
But Yara had no idea her current desperation was exactly what Joseph had planned. He wanted her to grasp at a glimmer of hope, only to find him completely out of reach. And when she finally did track him down, she’d have no choice but to beg him for help.

After pacing outside, Joseph finally used a routine temperature check on Desmond and the others as an excuse to enter their rooms and monitor their progress.
Luke remained in bed, his fingers still wrapped around the housekeeper’s hand. Her cheeks were flushed red, her perfume hanging thick in the air alongside the subtle, restless trace of desire.
That love poison was really something. Terry used to be a martial artist, but he became so obsessed with his wife- that he abandoned his training and ruined his health.
When a man lost himself in love, indulged in his desires, and let his emotions run wild, it could destroy him physically and mentally.
