A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 109 What The Future Holds

“Where are you going, Finny?”

“Why don’t you follow us? After all, they’re family!”

“You’re a special consultant for General Hospital. If you don’t even visit your family, others will surely criticize you.”

The moment Finnegan and his parents arrived at the hospital, they kept trying to convince him to visit Xavier,

Ximena, and Max.

“Mom, Dad, you guys go ahead. I have a patient to attend to. I’ll see how things go after I’m done with work.”

With that, Finnegan walked away swiftly, and neither Desmond nor Quiana could stop him.

Quiana stomped her foot in frustration and grumbled, “How can he be so heartless? They’re family!”

Desmond was also feeling slightly dejected because he had wanted Finnegan to visit Xavier and Ximena.

However, Desmond didn’t want Quiana to call him a hypocrite, so he leaned on his cane and said, “Let’s go and see

what the current situation is like first.”

After leaving his parents, Finnegan arrived in Soren’s ward.

Compared to the day before, Soren seemed a lot more energetic, and he could even get out of bed.

“You’re looking good, Old Mr. Caulder!” Finnegan said.

Soren turned around and smiled when he saw Finnegan. “It’s all thanks to your advanced medical skills! You saved

my life!”

“You flatter me, Old Mr. Caulder. Let’s proceed with your treatment. After this, you can get discharged and rest at

home.” Finnegan helped Soren lie in bed and gave the latter the final acupuncture treatment.

Around ten minutes later, the treatment ended, and Soren felt even better.

Therefore, Soren, who had consulted countless renowned doctors, was utterly impressed. “Finn, you should go to

Durbaine or somewhere larger. With your talents, staying in Jadeborough is a waste!”

Finnegan wiped his hands and smiled. “Old Mr. Caulder, Jadeborough is a big city. It’s the fifth largest city in the

country!”

“That’s merely in terms of economics.” Soren gestured for Finnegan to take a seat. “From the perspective of

historical background, Jadeborough is still a new metropolis. It’s nothing compared to Durbaine, Jipsdale, and

Kenfort. Those places will truly challenge and help one grow. Besides, you’re capable and young. You should see

what it’s like out there! I strongly believe you’ll be very successful once you have your own business!”

In response, Finnegan flashed a smile and said, “I’ll see what the future holds for me. Now, I just want to keep my

family company and make up for the five years I lost.”

Seeing that Finnegan wasn’t interested, Soren heaved a sigh inwardly and stopped convincing him.

In the next second, Soren asked, “By the way, I’ve been wanting to ask you something for a few days now.

May I know who you learned your medical skills from? Even Mr. Hicks couldn’t do anything to help me!”

Sawyer had told Finnegan not to tell anyone about their relationship, so the latter merely gave a vague answer. “I

learned my medical skills from an old traditional medicine practitioner. I don’t think him, Old Mr. Caulder.”

As a former headmaster of Durbaine University and a professor, Soren knew Finnegan was refusing to share his

mentor’s name.

Hence, Soren stopped pursuing the matter. “Whoever your mentor is, he must be very impressive.”

Finnegan rose to his feet. “Old Mr. Caulder, I’ll take my leave first. I’ll visit you to wish you a happy birthday in a few

days.”

“Sure! You go ahead!”

After leaving Soren’s ward, Finnegan went to his office in General Hospital.

He planned to go home with his parents after they were done visiting Xavier and the others.

Moments after he sat down in his office, he received a call from Rhiannon.

“Finn, where are you?” she asked.

“I’m at General Hospital, waiting for Mom and Dad to finish visiting Xavier and the others. I’ll head home with them

later,” Finnegan replied.

Rhiannon was puzzled. “Xavier and the others? Isn’t Max the only one in the hospital?”

“Don’t you know what happened?”

“What do you mean?” Rhiannon asked.

Upon hearing that, Finnegan realized why Rhiannon was unaware of what had happened.

Desmond didn’t dare to tell Rhiannon about it because he was the one who let Xavier drive the car away and the

car was now ruined.

With a silent sigh, Finnegan revealed. “Xavier and Ximena got into a car accident yesterday.”

He then went on to briefly tell her what had happened.

Rhiannon, who wasn’t one to keep up with the news, suddenly raised her voice.. “What? My car is ruined? That

Porsche cost around two million! I’ve only driven less than two hundred kilometers with it! No! Uncle Raymond’s

family must compensate for the car! Also, I want them to pay back the two million they borrowed!”

Finnegan massaged his temples and answered, “I won’t let Uncle Raymond’s family take advantage of us. However,

it’s inappropriate for us to bring it up now. After all, they’re still hospitalized. If we ask for compensation and the

repayment now, we’ll seem inhumane and heartless.”

“How is it inappropriate? They treated us harshly over the years!” Rhiannon scoffed.

Despite saying that, Rhiannon didn’t force Finnegan to go after Raymond’s family.

Instead, she uttered excitedly, “Finn, Ms. Lindsey just told me Tristan Group is finished. Killian and his

dad committed suicide by jumping off a building. Did you know about that?”

Obviously, Finnegan knew about it because he was the one who caused it.

However, he didn’t want Rhiannon to know about his dark side. “They deserved it! Don’t pay too much attention to

that, okay? Focus on your work with Ms. Haimowitz.”

“Of course I won’t pay too much attention to that. It’s just that I can’t imagine how scary the scene must have

been, considering they were reduced to two bloody pulps!”

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Right then, someone knocked on Finnegan’s door. “Rhia, I need to attend to something. I’m hanging up now,” he

said.

“Wait! Ms. Lindsey asked if you were free today. She wants you to give her the final treatment.”

Upon mulling over it for a while, Finnegan answered, “I’ll be there in the afternoon. Give me her address.

With that, Finnegan hung up the phone. “Come in!”

The door was pushed open, and Desmond, with a cane in his hand, entered the room alongside Quiana.

Unfortunately, Raymond, Adrian, and their wives followed behind.

Finnegan couldn’t help frowning because the people he wanted to face the least had just appeared before him.

Quiana looked around the office and said, “I thought Melinda was pulling my leg! Who would’ve known this could be

your office?”

Desmond’s face was glowing when he said proudly, “Well done, Finny!”

Since Raymond and Adrian were there, Finnegan’s expression was rather gloomy. “Mom, Dad, I’ll send you guys

home.”

As soon as those words fell, Melinda tugged at Quiana’s clothes and urged, “Quiana!”

Nearby, Qahira was also shooting Desmond a look.

Instantly, Quiana’s expression became slightly awkward. “Finny, I heard about how you even managed to cure a

cancer patient. Come with me to see Max, okay? After all, he’s your cousin!”

Desmond, who was never one to beg others for favors, voiced in an awkward tone, “Finny, Xavier lost a lot of blood

due to the accident yesterday, and he’s also suffering from an intracranial hemorrhage. He might not regain his

consciousness. Besides, Ximena’s legs are fractured, and her condition is like mine back. then. We’re family, Finny.

They’re my niece and nephew, Raymond’s only children. Take a look at them. okay?”

After Desmond said that, Raymond, Adrian, and their wives gazed at Finnegan anxiously.

In response, Finnegan took a deep breath, stood up, and said, “Mom, Dad, I’m sending you guys home.”
