A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179

The next day, Yvette reviewed Ella’s treatment reports. She then entered the ICU, gathered Joseph and the others, and said, “Ella’s condition isn’t improving, so her family’s really unhappy.

“You have to come up with a better treatment plan to stabilize Ella’s condition. We want her to recover.”

All the doctors and specialists said nothing as they turned to Joseph.

Joseph remained silent. At that moment, he wasn’t even thinking about the treatment plan. He was wondering why Yvette was so focused on getting Ella better. Was she testing his skills? Or had Cora been pressuring her?

“Finish this course of treatment. If things don’t turn around by tomorrow, you have to try another treatment plan.

Joseph explained solemnly that changing the medication would only mean switching to similar ones or increasing the dosage. After all, Ella was suffering from muscle weakness.

Since Joseph remained calm and most of the doctors agreed to his plan, Yvette didn’t press any further. Initially, she wanted to discuss it with him in private, but he didn’t give her the chance, using an emergency case as an excuse.

Yvette then arranged for a young associate director from Croma Hospital to follow up on Ella’s case. The doctor was to supervise Joseph and his team’s treatment plan for Ella.

Paige came to the emergency room. Once Joseph finally had a moment, she led him to a ward, where a former hospital director was. He was the same professor who had come with Walt to Joseph’s home to invite him back into practice.

“Joseph, you can’t let outsiders like Yvette turn this hospital upside down anymore. If you wish to take charge, we’re willing to support you.” The professor got straight to the point.

“So you finally can’t take it anymore! However, it’s just the two of us here. That’s far from enough. We need to get Marvin involved in this too.”

Joseph was aware of the hospital faction. He had gotten rid of the Loughlin and Pierce families but left the hospital faction untouched for this very moment.

“You… You… You have to pay me back. I just got that phone not long ago.”

“Ask Cora for compensation. Also, get her to the school too. If she says she’s not free, tell her to stop spending all her time with her lover. Don’t neglect her own kids, or she’ll regret it.”

“I’ve already passed on Cora’s message. If you don’t want to drop by Selena’s school, that’s your problem!” Furious, Fiona turned and slammed the door on her way out.

“Selena, don’t blame me for this. It’s not that I don’t want to watch your performance, see you succeed, or be part- of your happiness.

“I just don’t have the right! I’m not your father. I don’t deserve to watch you grow up. You’re not my daughter. Forgive me for being so unreasonable!”

Joseph felt a pang in his chest. He knew Selena very well, and she was going through a sensitive, rebellious phase. As long as she got through that, she would be just as talented as Natalie.
