A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 532

Chapter 532

So an exchange transfusion procedure had already been planned long ago…

Joseph couldn’t exactly say no now. “Gemma, if you think I can learn from this, I’ll definitely treasure the opportunity. But if it’s inconvenient, I completely understand. I’m already very grateful that you thought of me at a time like this.”

“Don’t make such a big deal out of it. I’m just letting you watch. You won’t be allowed to do anything, so don’t get your hopes too high.”

Gemma smiled proudly. She had absolutely no idea that Joseph had actually performed the entire procedure on someone before and was anything but unfamiliar with it.

Joseph showered her with thanks again. When someone from the medical sect came to speak with Gemma, they gave Joseph a dirty look. Thus, he simply acted timid and quickly scuttled out of the way.

Compared to the actual process of Reuben’s procedure, Joseph was clearly more interested in how their system worked.

This pretty much confirmed his theory that within the Zahn family, it wasn’t just the main bloodline getting in on the longevity perks. Even their vassal medical sect got a piece of the pie.

“Reuben’s medical skills are incredibly valuable to the Zahn family. Unfortunately for him, he’s old. A blood transfusion isn’t going to save him now! Besides, it’s not like fresh blood just falls from the sky.

“The way they source it is dirty as hell. It goes against human ethics. Karma won’t let him get away with this…” Joseph mused as he watched the whole transfusion go down without batting an eye.

One thing Gemma mentioned did stick out, though. Back when the medical sect was first testing if this method actually worked, they didn’t have any modern biological or biochemical theories to rely on.

So they just used blood from their immediate relatives.

Scientific research and human ethics had always been separated by a thin line. Moreover, some scientific discoveries came from actions that crossed moral boundaries. And Joseph was never one to let old conventions restrict his thinking.

Word of Skylar’s condition reached Cora, and she showed up in person.

The second Joseph saw Cora, his heart sank, and he felt a wave of agony. Why did she have to come?

Since Skylar was still in the ICU, Cora couldn’t enter because she wasn’t a medical staff member or a direct family

member.

Cora had no choice but to head to Gemma’s office. Even with Joseph standing right there, she didn’t care and asked, “How did Skylar suddenly take a turn for the worse?”

The concern in her voice was unmistakable.

This damn woman… Joseph’s emotions were all over the place, and his heart felt strangely empty.

Gemma let out a scoff. “What’s that got to do with you? Or rather, in what capacity are you asking about this? If you’ve divorced Joseph and married Skylar, then maybe I can tell you something.”

Cora shot back, “You seem to know a lot, but everything you know came from rumors and hearsay. You only know what happened on the surface and have no idea about the misunderstandings involved.

“Yet you people keep spreading rumors, turning something false into something everyone believes!”

Gemma

gave

a faint laugh. “Misunderstandings? Sure, you keep telling yourself that.”

Cora was clearly unhappy with Gemma’s sarcasm. “What goes on between my husband and me is none of your business. You’re an outsider, so save your judgment.

“I came here for only one reason, and that is to find out whether Skylar’s sudden deterioration has anything to do with Joseph.”

Joseph was screaming internally. The fact that Cora actually suspected him meant she completely distrusted him now and saw him as the ultimate villain in every situation. She was finally on the right track!
