The next day, Joseph showed up at work. After changing into his white coat, he held the morning briefing and assigned the day's work. While Joseph headed toward the emergency room, Fiona stepped in front of him. However, he ignored her and instructed a nurse to serve as her medical guide."I'm not sick," muttered Fiona."Call security and have her escorted out," ordered Joseph, giving Fiona a dismissive glance before walking straight into the emergency room without looking back.Before noon, Dave came to find Joseph for a private conversation. Dave asked, "Joseph, what happened yesterday? Why were you so hostile toward Dr. Quinn?""Is she planning to suspend me or fire me?" Joseph questioned.Dave replied, "That won't happen. You're the best doctor in this hospital. We can't afford to lose you."Joseph said, "I just want to be a doctor. If you want to build some new order in Jenton or turn the place into a political battlefield, that's your business. It has nothing to do with m

The next day, Joseph still hadn't returned. Selena was furious. She shoved the huge birthday cake off the table. The sudden outburst shocked everyone.Cora lost her temper, wanting to slap Selena across the face. The happy atmosphere was ruined in an instant.Helen quickly pulled Selena into her arms and hurried her back to her room. Meanwhile, Natalie remained calm. She was upset too, but she felt that the family needed to accept and adjust to life without Joseph.After all, he wasn't her biological father, and sooner or later, Cora would bring her biological father into their lives.Kimberly looked innocent. She had been waiting for cake, only for Selena to explode. She neither cried nor complained. Instead, she got off her chair and found a clean piece of cake before eating it.Normally, whether it was Cora and Joseph or Bernard and Helen, everyone strictly limited how much dessert Natalie, Selena, and Kimberly could have. Such opportunities, where no one was stopping them from

Joseph couldn't answer. After all, this was the mess Cora had created. He had been kept in the dark for years. Selena threw herself into his arms and sobbed. He only patted her head gently without saying anything.He hadn't gotten over this hurdle himself. How could he guide her through it?The sound of Selena's crying quickly drew everyone's attention. Cora and the others rushed upstairs and found Joseph and Selena embracing each other.Cora walked over and wrapped her arms around them both. In a gentle voice, she said, "Selena, your dad's home now. We both love you very much. You're going to be alright."Joseph and Cora soothed Selena. It was only after Selena fell asleep that they quietly went downstairs.Joseph still felt a weight pressing against his chest. He stepped outside into the courtyard and lit a cigarette. Then, he noticed that several new carp had been added to the pond.When dinner was served, Kimberly sat right next to Joseph. From time to time, she would reach

With both Walt and Yvette in trouble, the hospital was left without a leader. The state health department didn't rush to appoint a new director from outside. Instead, they tried promoting one of the deputy directors from within the hospital.The first candidate they approached turned the offer down immediately. After all, two consecutive directors had gotten themselves into trouble. Anyone could see that the position was dangerous. He knew better than to volunteer as the next target.Several others declined as well. In the end, the State Health Department appointed Mason Brooks, who was only months away from retirement, to serve as acting director.Mason was from the hospital. Rather than concentrating power in his own hands, he quickly formed a task force. He took the title of team leader in name only. Meanwhile, the deputy leader was Joseph. Joseph held all the authority and was in charge of the hospital's medical operations.All of a sudden, Joseph became the hottest name in the

Joseph arrived at Dolly's lakeside villa. After spending the night there, he returned to the hospital the next day and resumed work."Dr. Hart, a lot of people called me last night asking where you were. I didn't know what to tell them, so I just said I had no idea," said Paige."I'm fine. When I'm off duty, I want to rest properly. So, I turned off my phone," replied Joseph.The truth was that he wanted to avoid Cora. He glanced over the day's schedule. He had to attend a meeting first and then make ward rounds. After that, he had to discuss treatment plans with colleagues or attend specialist consultations. He had to keep himself busy.Upon seeing Fiona, Joseph didn't give her a chance to speak. He just instructed someone to take her to registration and arrange a chest X-ray. Naturally, she refused.Once Fiona left, another person arrived. It was Joseph's cousin-in-law, Sophia Lowell, whom he was unwilling to see. Sophia was Cora's cousin. Aside from her tall figure and attrac
