LOGINJoseph was a little caught off guard, but he was quick to react. He stepped back just enough to dodge the attack before blurting out, "You shouldn't simply pull the needles out like that. The treatment isn't done yet."Zachary was too worked up to listen to Joseph. He yanked every last needle out of his arms, head, and stomach. He then told Joseph to get lost and refused treatment from him."He doesn't trust me, and he's way too volatile. You should just get someone else to take over. To be honest, the fact that he can act like this means he's fine. You can transfer him to another hospital," Joseph said to Yasmin before turning on his heel and walking out.After all, he had a temper as well. Besides, he had plenty of other patients in the hospital waiting for him to treat them.He got back to work. A few hours later, he returned to his office only to find Yasmin waiting for him. "Why are you still here? Shouldn't you be arranging for his discharge and his return to Croma to recover
As soon as Joseph hung up, he scoffed inwardly. What did Cora mean by driving her into a corner? Did he force her to cheat, to have bastard children?She was the one who created this mess. And yet, not only was she refusing to divorce him, but now she was accusing him of forcing her to do things.Joseph was well aware that a woman as conceited as Cora would never give in until the consequences were right in front of her.Only by exposing her lover and stripping her of everything would she finally face her problems.If nothing was done, given her wealth and influence, she would only become more convinced that she was above the law, as if she was some kind of queen.Joseph genuinely just wanted to cuss her out.Theodore looked utterly discouraged after finishing Frank's treatment. He walked over to Joseph and said, "If we can't figure something out in the next few days, I'll have to give up on treating Frank and leave him like this."Joseph didn't give an immediate response. Inste
Joseph resisted the temptation. His future was still uncertain, and Rosalie could not protect herself. The last thing he should do was drag her deeper into his troubles.Since she couldn't win him over, she felt disappointed. Just as he had said, if she wanted him to take responsibility for her, she would first have to become his woman.However, he had refused, and there was nothing she could do. She couldn't make a scene. If she did, he might actually stop caring for her and Brooke.After Joseph went into the room to rest, Rosalie returned to her room. She lay down beside Brooke and turned over, only to feel as though someone was staring at her through the dim light. She turned on the bedside lamp. Sure enough, Brooke had her eyes wide open.Rosalie gasped. "You nearly scared me to death! If you're awake, say something. What's the point of frightening your own mother?"Brooke asked, "Has Dad become a monk?""What are you talking about? Haven't you completely woken up?" Rosalie w
Joseph noticed that Cora's car wasn't following him, but one of her bodyguards' cars was. As he approached an intersection ahead, he suddenly made a sharp U-turn, driving straight toward the bodyguard's car.At the last second, the bodyguard swerved out of the way. The car jumped the curb and became stuck.Joseph had won the gamble. Those bodyguards would never actually crash into him. Even if he weren't Cora's husband, they wouldn't choose a head-on collision. No sane person would.Just like that, Joseph shook off the tail. He sped away, disappearing into the night. After switching cars midway, he arrived at Kingsley Estate.Brooke was already asleep, but Rosalie was still awake. Whenever Joseph hadn't texted Rosalie, she would stay up waiting until midnight.Rosalie greeted, "Joseph, you're here. We made ravioli this evening, and I saved some for you. I'll heat them up.""Sounds good. I'll take a shower first," replied Joseph, feeling touched. Cora would never do such a thing.
"You have to be careful!" Grace reminded Joseph again before seeing him off the next day. Then, she got ready and left to handle her own business.Meanwhile, Joseph returned to the hospital and worked as usual. He collected several medications in the morning, and with Paige's help, he obtained a few more.He repeated the process that afternoon until he had everything he needed. After that, he left work early. Upon arriving at the laboratory in Crest District, he began synthesizing what he had planned.At around 8:00 pm, Joseph received a call from Cora, telling him to return home. He replied that he was busy and refused to go back. Less than 30 minutes later, a car horn sounded outside the laboratory. She had come over.He didn't bother opening the gate. His car was already taking up the space inside—even if he opened it, she wouldn't be able to get her car in. By the time he finished synthesizing everything he wanted, he stored it away and sent Grace a message, telling her to pi
After getting out of the car, Joseph watched Belinda drive away. His expression turned grave. Ever since learning that the children weren't his, he had every right to hate Cora. People would either laugh at him or pity him. Because of that, mentioning revenge against her hadn't raised Belinda's suspicions.Still, Joseph wasn't convinced of Belinda's sincerity or capability. He doubted she could actually burn down Lowell Group. If she somehow pulled it off, Cora would be pushed into a desperate situation.By then, the man protecting Cora would have no choice but to step forward. The man would most likely be her lover. Now, all Joseph could do was wait.On the way back to the hospital, Joseph stayed silent. Dave didn't dare to ask any questions either, assuming they concerned Belinda.Back in the office, Joseph scrolled through his contacts. When he saw Grace's name, another idea came to him. They could strike Zachary and Yasmin or the other members of the Croma faction.The logic w
Joseph had no idea what happened at Jenton Girls' School. One day, the Traditional Medicine Center reached out to Joseph again, requesting his assistance for a surgical procedure. After reviewing the patient's case files, Joseph noted that while the operation was complicated, it still fell well
Joseph quickly took another drag from his cigarette and inhaled sharply to suppress the dark thoughts. He kept reminding himself that he was a doctor—not a butcher, not a murderer. "How close are you with my wife?" he asked.Frank laughed. "You should ask Cora.""I did ask. She didn't say, but I
But Joseph was a doctor. In the end, he went over to examine the man and discovered that the man had suffered cardiac arrest from excessive excitement.What a pervert.Joseph mocked the man inwardly, but still performed CPR. After the man was revived, Joseph called an ambulance, then returned to h
Joseph let Cora in as he towel-dried his hair and said, "You should've agreed days ago, Cora. If you had, you'd already be free by now…"To his surprise, Cora actually took off her clothes and climbed onto his bed. He frowned. "What are you doing?"She chuckled. "Isn't it obvious? You want my mone
