A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 624

Chapter 624

Helen frowned. Then how are we supposed to find that ungrateful brat?”

Joseph shrugged. “I don’t know where he is either. But with something this serious happening in Jenton, I’m sure he’s already heard about it. The problem is that your daughter is conducting a full-scale search for him right now.

“And everything that happened between her and Skylar has wounded his pride and humiliated him. There’s a good chance he won’t show himself.”

Helen scoffed. “He cares about his pride? Didn’t he show up last time? I think he’s just guilty. He’s a coward who only knows how to hide when things go wrong. He did something bad and doesn’t have the guts to take responsibility. So now he’s just hiding.”

What the hell did she know? By hiding in the shadows under this identity, he’d seen more than she could possibly imagine.

Joseph was unhappy with what was being said, but he didn’t argue.

Instead, he calmly explained, “Since he showed up last time, he’ll probably show up again. Last time, he was helping the Gould family treat an important guest. That proves that Katie has a way to communicate with Joseph.

“That means that Joseph can also send instructions back through her, allowing Katie to make the necessary arrangements. Once everything is ready, he appears.”

Helen fell silent, weighing his words.

Joseph’s tone became more serious. “The side effects of the poison in your body are severe. Those things on your face and neck need to be treated as soon as possible. If the skin deteriorates completely, you’ll be left permanently disfigured even if you do recover.

“At your age, your skin’s ability to regenerate is already weaker than it was when you were young. You could even develop extensive pigmentation and scarring. You wouldn’t be able to show your face in public anymore. You’ll become the subject of gossip everywhere you go.”

Helen said, “Keep talking nonsense, and I’ll have someone slap you!”

Helen was genuinely frightened by what Joseph was saying, and she was furious at the same time.

Joseph asked, “Do you think I’m making this up? I’m not. I’m telling the truth. Just look at me. I know better than anyone how terrifying people’s prejudices can be.”

Joseph removed his mask, revealing the ugly features he’d been hiding. “I grew up being mocked because of my appearance. You’ve been beautiful and dignified your entire life. Don’t ruin your reputation in your later years.”

Helen stared at Joseph’s ugly face. “You really are ugly.”

She let out a small snort. She absolutely couldn’t allow herself to become as ugly as him. “How can I get Joseph to come out and treat me?”

Joseph replied, “Jenton University Hospital is a trap. The moment he appears, he’ll be caught. He won’t risk coming in here. So you need to change locations. Go quietly to Katie’s clinic and have Katie contact Joseph. He’ll come.”

Helen asked, “Why are you so certain? What’s your relationship with Joseph?”

Joseph smiled. “I admire his medical skills, so I’ve spent some time studying his behavior. And my instincts have

course, Mrs. Lowell, I’m just making a suggestion. If you don’t believe me, forget I said anything. If you do believe me and my information proves useful, you can always send me a little bonus afterward.”

Helen sneered, “So you were planning on asking for money. You’ve got quite some nerve.”
