A Man with Nerves of Steel Chapter 220
So in the end, all Jennifer wanted was money. It seemed that the most practical, unbreakable bond between a husband and wife in high society was built on a ledger after all. Love was entirely optional, but cash was non-negotiable. Joseph was filled with disdain for Jennifer, but he said nothing more.Not long after Jennifer left, a wave of Warren's other family members arrived, including his brothers and various distant relatives. They barraged Joseph with the exact same questions about why Warren hadn't woken up and when he might regain consciousness. Joseph merely repeated the same medical script he had given before. Warren's eldest brother suggested transferring him to another hospital, and Joseph readily agreed. However, Jennifer immediately shut it down, flatly insisting that Warren remain right here at Jenton University Hospital.Later that evening, a knock sounded at his office door, and a beautiful woman stepped inside. She asked about Warren's condition. When Joseph ini

"What happened to Warren?" Joseph asked Paige the moment he returned to the hospital."Word is he fell in one of the stairwells in the inpatient wing. He tumbled down a flight and cracked his head against the wall. That knocked him out cold on the spot." Paige relayed the information she had managed to gather.Joseph immediately had a clear picture of what had actually gone down. Someone had almost certainly lured Warren into that blind spot and given him a hard shove. After reviewing Warren's charts and doing a quick walk-by of his room, Joseph could practically visualize the assault. If Warren hadn't completely lost consciousness from the initial tumble, his attacker had likely followed him down the steps to deliver a final, crushing blow against the concrete. Of course, the hospital administration would never admit to that. They would insist that Warren fell down the stairs himself. If they acknowledged an assault, it would be a public relations nightmare—one major incident ri

"Selling herself? You'd better watch your mouth, Joseph!" Helen was deeply offended."Watch what I say? I guess it does sound harsh," Joseph said, patting his own cheek in mock shame. "I'm still Cora's husband. The fact that my wife has to earn her fortune that way is humiliating enough. I can barely show my face in public anymore!"He leaned over the table, his eyes boring into hers. "And what about you? Doesn't it disgust you to live off the money she earned that way? No, you're proud of it. The Lowells only rose through the ranks because of Cora. "You went from a middle-tier family in Jenton to one of the most powerful. The only reason Cora refuses to get a divorce is that she's afraid of losing her money, status, and influence."Helen fell silent.Joseph quickly finished his meal, tidied up, and took a slow sip of his coffee. "You and Bernard need to stop accusing me of divorcing her for a payout. Because if you keep it up, I promise you I won't walk away empty-handed. I'll d

Bernard was so furious that he nearly threw his phone across the room. A sudden sharp pain stabbed through his chest. He pounded on his sternum several times and hastily swallowed his medication before the crushing discomfort gradually began to ease. Bernard turned to Helen. "We can't let Joseph stay around. If this keeps up, he's going to be the death of me.""We can't? Then what are you planning to do? Cora will never forgive you if you hire men to beat him to death. What's going to happen now? You gave Joseph a chance to apologize to Cora and put this behind them, but he completely threw it back in your face."As she spoke, Helen secretly considered forcing Bernard to go to the hospital for a checkup. His chest pains had become alarmingly frequent lately, and it was a terrible sign. Bernard looked up, his eyes narrowing suspiciously. "He said Cora and Warren went to a hot spring resort together. He told me to put myself in his shoes. Tell me, do you think Cora would really do

"How important do you think you are?" Joseph scoffed inwardly. Turning away from Cora's car, he walked across to the opposite lane and flagged down an oncoming cab. By sheer coincidence, the driver turned out to be the owner of the breakfast diner.Smiling, the man asked, "Dr. Hart, what are you doing out here? Where's your car?""I was just having dinner nearby," Joseph replied calmly, sliding into the backseat. "But an emergency came up. I need to head back to the hospital."He kept his expression neutral, riding the rest of the way in silence. Along the way, the driver took a call from his family. The deep concern in his wife's voice and the cheerful chatter of his children practically spilled through the phone's receiver. The warm, harmonious atmosphere filled Joseph with envy.Ordinary people had to struggle just to make ends meet, he thought, but at least their relationships weren't suffocated by status, money, and ulterior motives. They were probably happier for it. Th

Wendy went to see Frank and called out to him repeatedly, but he gave her no response. Once again, she left empty-handed. The moment she was gone, Joseph had Paige keep watch again while he questioned Frank, extracting a few choice secrets known only to Frank and Warren. As it turned out, Frank had helped Warren build an exotic animal breeding facility deep in the wilderness along Jenton's border. The compound housed numerous rare and protected species. After weighing his options, Joseph tipped off a police officer whose family he had previously treated. With that taken care of, Joseph went to have a meal with Dolly. A few of his patients' families joined them, and once the meal wrapped up, he moved straight into his private consultations. However, his routine was interrupted when a massive multi-car accident occurred on the highway, critically injuring a young woman who happened to be the relative of a high-ranking official. She was rushed to Jenton University Hospital, and th

Cora had no choice but to head back to the Meridian Group. Frank pulled her aside and asked, "Cora, is Nat really our daughter?""Do you honestly think that's possible?" Cora denied vehemently. "But she brought a DNA report that showed we were related by blood. Cora, to be honest with you, I'm wi

Cora sent Natalie back to her parents' house. Once inside, Natalie stormed to her room and locked the door. Cora no longer knew how to deal with Natalie's rebellious streak.Helen and Bernard sat in the study, reeling from the news.Helen asked, "Cora, you and Frank have always been close. Did som

Neither Cora nor Joseph could convince the other. They called a silent truce, knowing that any further argument would only turn bitter.Shortly after, Ella informed Cora, "Ms. Lowell, Mr. Hart is heading out. He's loading things into the car and said he won't be back for dinner."Cora immediately

The next morning, Cora called Fiona over upon arriving at Lowell Group. Cora noticed that Fiona was truly beautiful. Compared to Cora, Fiona was only slightly less attractive. However, when age was taken into account, Cora couldn't help but feel envious.A saying suddenly surfaced in Cora's mind. "
