A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 119 Looking For Trouble

Crash!

The sound of a vase shattering suddenly rang out from Regi Group’s CEO’s office.

Liam’s usual gentle disposition had disappeared, and his face was contorted with rage.

“Did Finnegan really say that?”

Having rushed back to the office after leaving Jerome Medical Clinic, Hailey replied, “Yes. He said you should stop

dreaming and that he’d never give you the formulas for the wound and weight loss medicines.”

Upon hearing that, Liam laughed coldly. “Finnegan thinks he’s a big shot now, huh? Does he honestly think he has

the power to go against me?”

Hailey’s lips twitched.

Ah… Finnegan said something similar before, too.

Unaware that Hailey already had a change of heart, Liam turned to her. “Go. Make the necessary preparations. I

want Jerome Medical Clinic to fail and Finnegan to get on his knees to beg me for forgiveness. More importantly, I

want him to hand over the formulas personally.”

After a moment’s hesitation, Hailey spoke up. “Mr. Sable, Finnegan has the Haimowitz and Miles families backing

him. Should we really be doing this? Furthermore, if Ms. Zimmerman finds out you’re going after Finnegan, wouldn’t

that give her a worse impression of you?”

“Finnegan might have done the Haimowitz and Miles families a favor before, but they wouldn’t oppose me because

of him. As for Bernie… Wouldn’t it be better if she knew about this?”

Alas, Liam’s words left Hailey utterly befuddled. “Why would that be?”

“There’s no way Finnegan will tell Bernie the real reason,” Liam said with a wry chuckle. “As such, she and everyone

else will think I’m going after him out of jealousy. Who knows? She might even take the initiative to intercede with

me on behalf of Finnegan. I will then have a reason to enjoy a private meal with her, won’t I?”

As soon as Liam mentioned that, his eyes burned with rage.

Argh… I thought that after pulling strings to pretend to save Bernice, I could ask her out for a meal. However, she

only thanked me and turned down all my dinner invitations!

Despite wanting to say something, Hailey figured she’d be better off holding her tongue. “All right. I’ll make the

arrangements right away.”

Who am I to voice my opinions if Liam wants to go around looking for trouble? I can’t risk letting him know what I’m

hiding… Otherwise, I might end up dead.

Five minutes later, Finnegan had just stepped into the Wright residence when he received a message from Hailey,

After reading the content, he promptly deleted the message.

“Ha. It’s impossible to stop this guy when he’s on the warpath!”

Stephen, who had walked to the door to welcome Finnegan, was curious. “What’s the matter!”

Finnegan shrugged and smiled. “Nothing much. It’s just that Liam is spoiling for a fight.”

With that, he gave Stephen a summary of the situation, including Liam’s secret plot against Firebird Group and how

he wanted to get his hands on Bernice and the money.

“Liam Sable must have a death wish,” Stephen said coldly. “Do you want me to knock some sense into him?”

Finnegan gave Stephen a firm pat on his shoulder. “If you do that, he’ll just go into hiding. How will I expose

everything he has done, then? Let him do what he wants. I want to see the lengths he’ll go to achieve his goals.”

“Sure. In that case, do you want to meet the elderly person or treat Waylynn first?

Having some inkling of who wanted to see him, Finnegan replied, “Let that elderly person wait, then.”

Stephen’s lips twitched.

My goodness… There aren’t many people in Loang who’d have the guts to make that man wait!

However, since Finnegan had already decided, Stephen had no choice but to lead him to Waylynn.

Knowing Finnegan was dropping by to administer the second acupuncture treatment on Waylynn, Romona had

turned down some of her work and rushed over. Upon seeing the man, she couldn’t help but let out a disdainful

snort. “Hmph. What took you so long? Have you lost your confidence?”

“I came late because I was thinking whether I should go to a hotel or a certain someone’s house to gloat when that

person loses today,” Finnegan said, his lips curled in contempt.

Romona’s expression instantly turned cold as ice. “Dream on!”

“Oh? Don’t you want Ms. Wright to recover?

“I…”

For a moment, Romona was tongue-tied.

Of course, I want Waylynn to get better! However, if that happens, I’d have to be Finnegan’s maid and dance for

him…

Stephen, too, knew of their bet and smiled.

“Romona, I think we should let Finnegan treat Waylynn first.”

Romona glared at Finnegan. “Go on, then!”

After a thorough disinfection, the duo donned their sterile attires and entered the ward.

As it turned out, Xena had been hanging around the ward for the past few days, hoping she could witness the

miracle treatment for herself before leaving.

Upon seeing Finnegan, she politely greeted, “Mr. Larkin!”

Romona, on the other hand, furrowed her brows.

Argh… I still have no idea why Xena is so polite toward Finnegan and even treats him as her mentor. I tried asking

Nathan, but instead of getting my answers, he reprimanded me for being overly nosey. How frustrating!

Finnegan nodded and strode toward the bed.

Waylynn was still bandaged like a mummy, but fortunately, her vocal cords had recovered a little. “Dr. Larkin.”

“How have you been feeling these few days, Ms. Wright?”

“I’m feeling much better,” Waylynn muttered, her voice low and hoarse. “My skin no longer tears or feels itchy like

before.”

“Ah. Looks like you’re recovering pretty well. Old Mdm. Brown, please give me a pair of scissors.”

Without further ado, Xena grabbed a pair of surgical scissors and handed it to the doctor.

The next second, Finnegan carefully cut the bandages wrapped around Waylynn’s body.

By then, Xena and Romona had both stepped forward and waited for the reveal with bated breath.

When Finnegan finally removed all the bandages and the ointment that had lost its efficacy, Xena and Romona

widened their eyes in utter shock.

“I can’t believe her skin has regenerated!” Xena exclaimed. “Mr. Larkin, you’re amazing!”

Romona, on the other hand, felt torn and gritted her teeth.

My goodness… The ugly scars on Waylynn’s body have disappeared, and a new layer of skin is slowly growing. Even

though it’s still tender and almost paper-thin to the point where I can see her flesh and blood vessels, it’s

undeniably a new skin layer! It’s covering Waylynn’s body like a transparent film…

Finnegan breathed a sigh of relief and slowly set the scissors down. “I’m not the amazing one. It’s the Regenerating

Ointment taking effect. However, this will also be Ms. Wright’s most dangerous and vulnerable stage!”

After all, she was like a molting lobster, weak and defenseless until the new shell hardened.

In that state, even the slightest injury might kill her!

“What should we do now, Mr. Larkin?” Xena asked solemnly..

“I’ll use acupuncture to boost her immune system, which will help prevent infection if her newly regenerated skin

tears. In addition, I’ll prepare more Regenerating Ointment for her external application and keep her wrapped up.

After this treatment, her skin should become thicker, and the risks of injury and infection will also decrease.”

Xena listened intently and nodded. “Don’t worry, Mr. Larkin. I’ll watch over Waylynn and make sure no one goes

hear her.”

Not wanting to waste more time, Finnegan promptly began his acupuncture treatment on Waylynn.

Fueled by hope, the latter gave him her full cooperation and no longer felt awkward or embarrassed.

After the treatment, Finnegan left the ward and prepared to make another batch of Regenerating Ointment.

The moment he left, a sulky Romona turned to Xena. “Old Mdm. Brown, does this mean I’ve lost?”

Xena glanced helplessly at the woman. “You silly girl. I’m not at all surprised that you lost. However… This might be

a good thing for you.”

“What? How is this a good thing?” Romona muttered.

I have to be Finnegan’s maid and perform a sexy dance for him, for goodness’ sake! This is the worst thing that

could ever happen!

“That’s because you don’t know how many women are dying to get close to Mr. Larkin,” Xena explained.

“I don’t believe you!”
