A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 522

Chapter 522

Joseph had no interest in climbing the ranks, so he declined the promotion, saying his experience was still larking, and he had no ambitions. He expected Gemma to be displeased, but she acted as if nothing had happened and past dropped the issue.

Why was Gemina so easygoing? Did she really believe Joseph could cure skylar? She definitely had an ulterior

motive.

Although Joseph had turned down the promotion, Gemma continued to value him. She gave him unrestricted access throughout the department and even allowed him to review every patient’s medical records.

While Gemma was busy treating other patients, Joseph slipped into Skylar’s ward. Skylar was asleep, hooked u to an IV drip. Joseph checked Skylar’s temperature before taking his pulse as part of the routine examination.

Suddenly, Joseph narrowed his eyes. There was another abnormal substance in Skylar’s body. Someone had administered a special drug, Who was trying to kill Skylar?

Out of the corner of his eye, Joseph glanced at the caregiver. She didn’t seem like someone capable of tampering with Skylar’s medication.

Could it be Gemma? Was it possible she was secretly working against Skylar? It was possible. Perhaps it was another member of the Zahn family or one of Cora’s people,

Joseph realized something. If Cora had sent someone to kill Skylar, once Skylar was dead, there would be no way to hold Skylar accountable. After all, the dead couldn’t testify.

Of course, Joseph trusted no one. So, everyone was a suspect. He didn’t tell Gemma about the situation. Instead, he decided to watch quietly from the shadows,

The next day, Joseph waited for an opportunity. During the caregiver’s lunch break, he slipped into Skylar’s ward. Using Skylar’s condition, he set a trap.

If anyone tried to poison Skylar again by giving him anything orally, it would trigger stomach spasms. Whoever administered the poison would be caught off guard.

When that happened, Joseph wouldn’t save Skylar. Instead, he would let the poisoner’s actions push the latter even closer to death. He decided to see which unlucky fool would fall into his trap.

After finishing his preparations, Joseph returned to work and resumed doing the bare minimum. The longer Jenna remained confined in Emerald Mountain, the greater the chance she might betray Joseph Even so, he still chose to stay at Traditional Medicine Center. After all, his greatest enemies were all there. Nothing was more satisfying than watching them suffer day after day.

That afternoon, Joseph was summoned to Yara’s ward again. The moment he walked in, he noticed that she was smiling genuinely. She teased, “Hey, if I don’t send for you, you won’t even visit me anymore? Do I disgust you now that I look like this?”

Joseph replied, “I wouldn’t dare, I’ve just been busy. I’m a nobody around here. Anyone can order me around. Besides, your test results are improving You don’t need me to explain them anymore.”

As Joseph looked into Yara’s hopeful, delighted eyes, he sneered in his mind. He thought, “Don’t be happy just yet. You’re a vicious woman. One day, I’ll make you experience the agony of losing a limb. I’ll repay every humiliation you and Skylar put me through a hundredfold.”

Since Joseph was an adult, none of those murderous thoughts showed on his face. To deal with scheming people,

he had to be even more vicious than they were.
