A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 613

Chapter 613

Joseph wondered if Cora would really set him up with Fiona.

He knew she would do it if she had a good enough reason, but certainly not for him under his current identity as Henry, because the two identities didn’t carry the same weight.

Besides, he could also hear the mockery in Cora’s laugh before she hung up. She clearly thought Fiona was way out of his league.

“You had three daughters with Skylar, Cora, but he won’t even marry you because you’re not good enough for him! You only pushed me around because I have no powerful background and am easygoing!

“I was unfortunate enough to be deceived by you for so long! But you’ll never fool me again,” Joseph thought.

After calming down, Joseph worked for a while. Then at noon, he took Gemma and Jenna out for lunch since he’d be occupied with treating Mona that evening.

That afternoon, he didn’t bother meeting Skylar or Yara. They were the ones in a hurry, or maybe everyone else was too. He was the only one who wasn’t, and he felt no sense of urgency whatsoever, so he skipped work and took a nap in his room instead.

When he woke up, he left his phone behind and headed out of the hospital.

After spending the whole night treating Mona, his hard work finally paid off, and she regained consciousness by

dawn.

Checking her condition thoroughly, he said, “Blink if you can hear me.”

Surprisingly, Mona actually blinked.

Joseph said, “Yara wanted you dead because she found out you were working with Cora and thought you’d betrayed her. Then when she got to know that you survived the car accident, she sent someone to finish you off at the hospital. However, I couldn’t let that happen, so I saved you.

“But as far as everyone knows, you’re already dead, and your family has already cremated and buried you.”

Mona immediately grew visibly agitated, and her heart rate and vital readings all shot up. But because she was unable to speak, she could only lie there fretting helplessly.

“But your life isn’t over. Cora still thinks you’re useful. Once you recover, she’ll give you a new identity and enough money to live comfortably for the rest of your life. You’ll be free to start over.

“Trust me. Cora and I are just in a partnership to use each other. I only took you from her because I didn’t appreciate her using me to lure Joseph out.

“As for why you ended up in Cora’s hands, you’re in no condition to understand that right now. Just accept things as they are. You’re with me now, and I’ll keep you alive.”

Once he saw her calming down, Joseph said, “You know how the accident happened, and you know better than anyone what kind of person Yara is. For now, just rest and focus on recovering. Once you’re better, we’ll get you a new face.

“By the way, where did you get your cosmetic procedures done? The results are good, but someone may have been trying to kill you through those procedures.

“The material used in your breast implants contains a substance that could eventually cause breast cancer.

Judging by the results, I believe that you went to a high-end cosmetic clinic, but a high-end clinic wouldn’t make

ignorant mistake like that.

“So from how I see it, someone-it could possibly be Yara-is secretly out to kill you. But they didn’t want to arouse your suspicions, afraid that if you caught on, you’d turn around and accuse them instead.”
