A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 632

Chapter 632

Joseph continued, “Now I’m the one who operates in the shadows while all of you stand in the light. Let’s see what weaknesses and flaws you all have.”

Joseph soon saw some of Cora’s men approaching. They were carrying a photo of him, questioning the nearby vendors and passersby. When they came up empty-handed, they moved on to the next location.

He was standing right in front of them, yet they couldn’t recognize him. Who else could they blame?

Joseph finished his meal, picked his teeth with a toothpick, and walked away.

Back at the hospital, Cora didn’t completely trust Bernard’s account. She insisted that the doctors perform a comprehensive examination on him. Only after confirming that Joseph hadn’t tampered with anything did she finally feel reassured.

Once everyone else had left, only Bernard and Cora remained in the hospital room.

When Cora received word that her men had returned empty-handed, her expression grew solemn. Joseph had appeared several times, yet she still hadn’t managed to find him. That meant his abilities were improving as well.

And Joseph clearly didn’t want to see her or listen to her explanations. As the misunderstandings between husband and wife continued to deepen, their relationship could very well reach a point of no return.

At that point, divorce would be the only possible outcome.

But she didn’t want a divorce.

Joseph loved her, and she loved Joseph. Two people who loved each other shouldn’t have to get divorced.

She said to Bernard, “Joseph has disappeared again. Now that he’s free, he comes and goes whenever he wants. He doesn’t even care about me or the children anymore.”

Bernard replied, “Cora, I’m going to say something you won’t like hearing. What do you and those children have to do with him? That’s the truth, and you need to accept it.”

Cora shook her head. “Natalie and the other two are Joseph’s children. I’m absolutely certain of that.”

Bernard sighed in exasperation. “So we’re back to the same argument. How do you explain the paternity test in Joseph’s hands?”

Cora was more stubborn than anyone he knew. Bernard believed his daughter wasn’t stupid; she was simply too greedy. She wanted to have her cake and eat it too.

“I’ve already figured out how to overturn his paternity test. As long as he shows himself, I’ll confront him. I can convince him to come back. We’re still a family,” Cora insisted. What Henry had given her could definitely be used to argue against Joseph’s conclusion.

In reality, the blood drawn from Skylar’s veins had tested negative against the three girls’ DNA, meaning there was no biological relationship.

However, DNA extracted from Skylar’s hair and other non-blood-tissue samples still matched theirs.

That was because Skylar had previously received a bone marrow transplant from someone else. The DNA in his blood now belonged to the donor, while the DNA in his hair and other tissues remained Skylar’s own.

Cora had no idea how Henry had learned about Skylar’s medical history. She could only assume that the information came from the Zahn medical sect’s confidential records. Henry was Yara’s boyfriend, after all; it

wasn’t surprising he had access to some of Skylar’s secrets.

But other people wouldn’t necessarily know that.

As long as she didn’t reveal that Skylar had received a bone marrow transplant, she believed there was no way Joseph could know. That would create a flaw in Joseph’s conclusion-a gap Cora could use as an opening to convince him to come back.
