A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 661

Chapter 661

ora wants thefr identities kept confidential? It has to be that mother and daughter.”

After giving it some thought, Joseph contacted two specialists and brought them with him to Jenton University Hospital.

After meeting with Cora, all three signed confidentiality agreements and received payment before being taken to the consultation room.

Joseph asked to see the patients. After examining them, he shook his head and told Cora that there was nothing he could do for them.

Cora didn’t blame him for it. Instead, she asked to speak to him in private. She wanted to know how Skylar’s and Yara’s treatments were going, and Joseph didn’t hold anything back.

Before Joseph left, Cora asked in a low voice, “How much would it take for you to take care of Skylar and Yara?”

Was Cora testing him? Could she really bear to see Skylar killed? Did she really think killing him could erase the fact that she had slept with him? Could she erase the fact that Natalie, Selena, and Kimberly were Skylar’s daughters?

That would be impossible. What Cora had done had already left a permanent stain on her.

Joseph turned her down right away, asking, “Have you lost your mind? I agreed to work with you because I wanted

money.

“But if I actually kill someone, I might get killed before I even get to spend the money. I just want money. I don’t want to hurt anyone. Thanks, but no thanks!”

“You’re such a coward! Tell you what-you can make an exception for me. Just let my people in so they can kill Skylar and Yara. At worst, you’ll only be accused of negligence. I won’t ask you to take the fall for it.”

“Hold up. Why do you even want to kill them? You’re so rich. You don’t have to do this,” Joseph said.

Cora and Skylar turning on each other was exactly what Joseph wanted to see, but he also didn’t want her killing anyone. He wanted to keep Skylar and Yara alive so he could slowly torment them.

Joseph also wanted to make sure that Cora could never erase what she had done to him. The more she tried to bury the truth, the more determined he was to make sure she couldn’t.

Cora had cheated on him and betrayed him, so he would make her pay for it for the rest of her life.

Cora replied, “I’m only doing that so my husband will realize that it was all just a misunderstanding, and that my daughters are his too.”

“Oh, but Dr. Hart… Ms. Lowell, I’ve heard that men are pretty simple. You don’t even have to lie to him. As long as he loves you enough, he’ll fool himself, won’t he?” Joseph said tentatively.

“That’s true!” Cora’s eyes lit up. This ugly man actually said something insightful for once.

She continued, “What matters most is finding my husband and getting him to come back to me.”

Joseph didn’t say anything about it or ask how the patients were doing. As he was leaving, he saw several cars with Larkton license plates filing into the hospital.

“Are those the Dixons? Haven’t they learned their lesson from last time? If you push me too far, I’ll get rid of all of you and throw you into the river!” Joseph thought to himself, hoping it wouldn’t come to that.

Back at the Traditional Medicine Center, Yara sent for him, and he went to see her.

pra asked you to go to Jenton University Hospital, and you actually went?” Yara asked unhappily.

“You know why I went there. That proves I didn’t do anything to betray you. I’ve proven that I can be trusted.

“Once I was done, I came straight back. I even turned down her invitation to dinner and her offer to send women

my way.

“Don’t get yourself worked up over this. Otherwise, it’ll affect your recovery.”
