A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 380

Chapter 380

Cora hurried to the clinic. Seeing the needle tracks on her daughters’ arms, she explained to Joseph. “Two or three days ago, the school organized mandatory health screenings. Blood panels were included. Is there a problem?”

“Nat, tell her. How many times did they draw your blood?” Joseph looked at Natalie.

“Three times. The teacher told me it’s part of the health checkup. The last two times they drew my blood, I was so sleepy that I fell asleep.

“When I woke up, I found myself back in the dorm. The teacher told me I just have a low tolerance for seeing blood,” Natalie murmured weakly.

She could barely keep her eyes open and was about to fall asleep at any moment. Once he removed the needles, she drifted off.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Cora watched Natalie fall asleep. All three of her daughters were asleep, so none of them responded to her question.

She turned to Joseph. “What on earth is going on?”

“If you spent more time caring about your children instead of fooling around in milk baths with other men, you’d know what exactly happened!”

Joseph returned to his office and immediately asked Helen, “Did you find out that blood exchange could extend lifespans? Is that why you wanted to take their blood?”

“Joseph, what nonsense are you saying? We’re not that kind of people!” Helen scoffed, enraged at his accusation.

Joseph said, “Rich people like you are unscrupulous. The moment you fear death, there’s nothing you won’t do!”

“Honey, my parents won’t do stuff like that. Stop saying all that! This is a school matter. I’ll look into this.” Cora quickly spoke up.

Helen immediately called Bernard as well. She told him to come over, saying there was an emergency at Joseph’s clinic.

“Cora, do you really think it’s just a school matter? Why would the school take Nat’s blood? In other words, why only their blood?

They were finally at the stage where Cora no longer trusted him.

“We’ll look into it!” Cora gritted her teeth. Regardless of whether Joseph was telling the truth, anyone who drew blood from her daughters and hurt them had crossed a line.

“I don’t want to hear it. I won’t believe you!”

Joseph had Helen leave the room first so he could speak to Cora in private. “Blood transfusion techniques cán make people younger and extend their lifespans.

“This is a proven theory, but it’s inhumane. That’s why it was never made public. I don’t care how much you distrust science. To keep your daughters safe, I suggest we taint their blood.”

“Are… Are you saying you want to make them sick? That way, no one will set their sights on them?” Cora was finally on the same page as Joseph.

“That’s right. If you’re up for it, I’ll inject a toxin into their bodies. That way, no one will be interested in taking their blood. Once you find out who’s after them, and things settle down in Jenton, I’ll cure them of the poison.”
