A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 691

Chapter 691

For the next three days, Joseph stayed at the Traditional Medicine Center. He watched Natalie, Selena, and Kimberly continue coming to the hospital to accompany Skylar.

After so many days, they had probably started accepting their new father. After all, Skylar was their biological father. They had to accept him even if they didn’t want to.

Joseph felt upset. He went to complete the paperwork for Yara’s discharge. That night, he would secretly treat her, helping her recover enough to meet the hospital’s requirements for discharge.

On the other hand, Skylar wasn’t nearly as fortunate. Most of the Zahn medical sect’s experts were gathered at Emerald Mountain, while others had been dispatched to hospitals such as Jenton University Hospital, Jenton General Hospital, and the Women and Children’s Hospital.

At the Traditional Medicine Center, the doctors from the medical sect were occupied with treating Reuben, Luke and the others. That meant fewer medical resources were available for Skylar.

The doctors treating Skylar were still doing their jobs to the best of their abilities, but his injuries were severe, and the lingering effects of the poison were even worse. Even the medical sect couldn’t do anything.

That day, Skylar’s condition suddenly deteriorated again, and he was transferred back to the observation ward. Natalie, Selena, and Kimberly could no longer accompany him and had no choice but to leave early.

When they reached the hospital lobby, they discovered that someone had collapsed. At the same time, another person had apparently been caught in an elevator accident, drawing a crowd and blocking the way.

Kimberly spotted someone who looked a lot like Joseph. She softly called out, “Dad is right there.”

Then, Kimberly ran toward the crowd. Natalie and Selena couldn’t see Joseph, and neither of them wanted to push through the crowd, so they sent the nanny after Kimberly.

Kimberly called out for Joseph, but no one answered. Eventually, she reached him. When she saw his ugly face, she realized that he wasn’t him at all. She felt disappointed and mumbled, “I got the wrong person.”

Those words struck Joseph straight through the heart. For days, he had convinced himself that he had built an iron heart. In that moment, it melted. The walls he had built around himself collapsed into pieces.

The innocence of Kimberly’s eyes was like a clear mirror, forcing Joseph to see the truth in his own heart. From beginning to end, he had never truly been able to forget his daughters. He could never bring himself to abandon them.

They had no idea what was happening, and they had no control over the shameless choices Cora and Skylar had made. They were innocent. But what could Joseph do?

Joseph forced himself to suppress the conflicting emotions rising inside him. He checked the condition of the person who had fallen. Fortunately, the injuries weren’t serious, so he left the patient in the care of the medical staff. Then, he went to Yara and left with her.

After so many days, Joseph felt that Jenton had become a little too peaceful. He was just thinking about stirring things up again when he suddenly received a message from Yelena. Someone from the Dixon family wanted to meet him.

After weighing his options, Joseph agreed to meet on a boat one night. Yelena didn’t show up. If she entered Jenton, she would attract Cora’s attention, which could interfere with his plans.

On the boat, Joseph met the woman from the Dixon family who wanted to meet him. More precisely, she was a

widow, and a very beautiful one.

However, she wasn’t wearing any makeup and had even deliberately disguised herself to look ugly, making her seem like an ordinary woman.

Joseph saw through the disguise and asked her to show him her real appearance. So, she washed her face, revealing her fair skin. Since she didn’t change her clothes or show off her figure, there was no way to tell what kind of figure she actually had.

Nevertheless, Joseph knew that she was strikingly attractive. Since Yelena was a trusted mutual connection between them, there was much less need for either side to test the other.

The widow went straight to the point. She had a five-year-old son, and she wanted Joseph to eliminate several more members of the Dixon family, especially those directly related to Jayden. She wanted him to help her son become the heir to the family.

As repayment, the widow was willing to offer Joseph her body and soul. Once her son became the head of the Dixon family, she promised that her son would reward Joseph generously. It was certainly a tempting offer.
