A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 508

Chapter 508

“Get out!” Gemma threw Joseph out of the room.

Outside, Joseph heard Gemma saying, “Don’t tell me you told him everything about the Zahns. Do you really think you two have a future together? If the family doesn’t approve of your relationship, you’ll never be able to marry him.”

“I know what I’m doing. But what about you, Gemma? Look at the state Skylar’s in, and now you’re worried about him? Don’t tell me you suddenly realized you’re in love with him.”

“I don’t really know either.”

Joseph didn’t listen any longer. Judging from Gemma’s tone at the end, it sounded like she was starting to feel sympathetic toward him.

A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. He was determined to get back at Skylar, but Gemma wanted to save him. That put them at odds with each other.

“Let’s see how good your medical skills really are…” A competitive glint appeared in his eyes.

Joseph wandered around before heading to the nurses’ station to slack off.

Soon, Jenna came looking for him. She took him to the ICU to treat Charlie’s children.

After dismissing the other medical staff, Jenna said to Joseph, “It’s up to you now.”

Charlie’s children looked to be about five or six years old. The boy was adorable, and the girl was just as cute.

Not only was Charlie handsome, but his wife was a stunning woman too.

Charlie’s children were innocent, but so was Joseph.

“Perhaps this is their fate… and mine too.”

With that in mind, he checked the children’s pulses and administered acupuncture.

After watching Joseph administer acupuncture, Jenna saw the readings on the nearby monitor quickly return to normal.

“How did you do that…”

Jenna saw Joseph put a finger to his lips, so she quickly fell silent. He then gestured for her to lean closer.

She did so, and he whispered, “They’ve regained consciousness. They might be able to hear us.”

Jenna gestured that she understood. She couldn’t help thinking that Joseph was really cautious.

After the treatment was over, Joseph and Jenna left the ICU and returned to her office.

For once, she took the initiative to pour tea for Joseph. Her eyes lit up as she asked again, “How did you do that?”

Joseph asked her to massage his shoulders, and she actually did as she was told. He began explaining the sequence of his acupuncture treatment.

Since Jenna had extensive medical knowledge, she could understand everything he said. Of course, he mentioned other factors, such as the children’s metabolism and neuroplasticity, rather than attributing the results solely to his own medical skills.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Cora entered the room. She was a little surprised to see Jenna massaging Joseph’s shoulders.

Jenna was known as a miracle doctor in Jenton, and she was a real beauty too. In the Zahn family, she had to be a prized catch. How could she end up with a freak like Joseph?

The contrast between a stunning beauty and an ugly man was almost jarring.

Cora got straight to the point. “How can you two still be relaxing here? Go save the patients now!”

But Jenna didn’t let go. Instead, she playfully pinched Joseph’s ear and said, “We just came out of the ICU, so let us catch our breath. How can we help you?”

Cora said, “I’ve thought about it. You haven’t been telling the truth, have you? You know where my husband is, right?”

“Not at all. The only way I can reach him is through the forum. If he doesn’t respond, I have no idea where he is.
