A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 131 Following Through On The Bet

Later that night, they had cleaned up the paint and the mess at Jerome Medical Clinic so well that it looked as

though nothing had ever happened there.

“Why don’t you go stay at a hotel with Ms. Magnussen tonight, Mr. Magnussen?” Finnegan said while glancing at the

time.

Given how vengeful Solomon was, Finnegan knew that he would surely show up that night.

“But then it’ll just be you and Casper! Are you sure about this, Master?” Jerome asked worriedly.

“Wouldn’t it be worse if you and Ms. Magnussen were around if we ran into trouble?”

Jerome was an elderly man, and Yuliana was still recovering from a major illness.

Jerome figured he made a good point. “In that case, Yuliana and I will be on our way now. Give me a call if anything

happens.”

Finnegan then had Casper escort them into a taxi while he pulled up a recliner and lay down on it outside the

entrance.

“Finnegan, are you sure we’ll be fine on our own?” Casper asked when he returned.

The wounds that he had gotten from the beating earlier that day were no longer visible.

Finnegan cooled himself off with a fan as he replied, “Don’t worry! Just pull up a recliner, and let’s have a little

chat.”

Casper felt a little reassured when he saw how calm Finnegan was.

He pulled up a recliner and lay down on it. “Where have you been for the last five years? Why do you know how to

fight and practice medicine after you return?”

“Because Killian was putting a lot of pressure on me, so I ran away from home and headed over to Bellridge. After

roaming the streets for a few days, I ran into an elderly doctor and ended up becoming his student. I then followed

him to Xanfield after that.”

Finnegan chose not to hide any details that he deemed safe to share.

He also trusted Casper not to go around telling everyone about such things.

After listening to Finnegan’s story, Casper clicked his tongue and said, “Your mentor sure is something else! Not only

did he teach you medicine, but he also taught you how to fight! Does he still accept disciples?”

“Forget about it! Master told me that he had a few students in the past, but he would only accept a single disciple

his entire life. He won’t be taking in any more disciples.”

“Your mentor had a few other students? They must be a lot better than you, right?”

Finnegan rubbed his nose as he replied, “Disciples outrank students so that technically makes me their senior. While

they are indeed good at what they do, they’re one-trick ponies!”

Casper asked, “One-trick ponies? What do you-”

“And here I thought you’d be stressing yourselves out! You two seem awfully relaxed!” Romona cut him off while

stepping forward.

She was dressed in a black tank top and a pair of denim shorts. Those clothes, coupled with her short hairstyle,

gave her a youthful and beautiful appearance.

“What are you doing here?” Finnegan was a little surprised.

“Who is she, Finnegan?” Casper asked softly after seeing how cool Romona looked.

“That’s not important. What matters is that she is indebted to me!” Finnegan replied with a chuckle.

Romona’s face changed when she heard that and recalled her bet with Finnegan.

Feeling a little flustered, she snapped at Casper, “I need to talk to him in private, so step aside!”

“You two carry on, then.” Unable to withstand Romona’s rough personality, Casper quickly got up made his way to

the backyard.

and

“Are you not afraid of Solomon coming for revenge?” Romona asked while taking a seat next to Finnegan.

“Get to the point, will you?”

Finnegan knew that she wouldn’t show up at this hour for no reason.

“You’d better mind your manners when talking to me, Finnegan. I’m the heiress of the Quickwood family and the

captain of Jadeborough Police Department,” Romona warned him sternly.

Finnegan pursed his lips. “So? If you want to be treated with respect, then go talk to someone else!”

“You…”

Romona was tempted to beat Finnegan up on the spot, but she held herself back when she remembered the reason

she came over.

Her face burned bright red as she said, “I came here tonight to take care of the bet we had. I don’t mind honoring

bets that I make, but I need you to spare me!”

Finnegan let out a yawn. “I never took that bet seriously, so don’t worry about it. Just go back to where you came

from.”

Romona’s expression was twisted as she clenched her fists tightly. “You got a death wish, Finnegan?”

To have Romona as a maid for a month and perform a sexy dance was something most men could only dream of,

and yet, Finnegan was acting as though he couldn’t care less about it

Naturally, Romona got angry as she felt Finnegan was looking down on her.

“Fine! If you’re that conflicted about it, then we’ll do it your way and have you take care of this mess tonight,

Finnegan said with a sigh when he saw how angry she was.

Romona froze, “How did you know I came to talk to you about this?”

2/4

I came up with a solution to get myself out of the bet after hearing about the conflict between Finnegan and

Solomon, but I haven’t said anything about it!

“How can I not know when you practically have it written all over your face? Anyway, we’ll call off the bet if you can

resolve this problem tonight. I’m not interested in it anyway,” Finnegan replied.

Romona should be happy that Finnegan accepted her solution to call off the bet, but she found herself feeling upset

instead.

Why does it feel as though he wants to call off the bet? Do I disgust him that much?

It wasn’t clear if it was due to reverse psychology or Romona’s ego refusing to let it slide, but she yelled at

Finnegan, “You b*stard! Who do you think you are? Why won’t you let me honor the bet? Look, I am following

through on the bet whether you like it or not! Starting tonight, I’m your personal maid!”

“What the f*ck is wrong with you?”

Most girls would’ve jumped at the opportunity and called off the bet, but Romona did the complete opposite.

Finnegan couldn’t help but freeze in shock.

Why is she being so unreasonable? I’m trying to do her a favor here! What an unappreciative woman!

Angered by his response, Romona swung her fist at him in response. “F*ck you! Countless men out there wish to

get close to me, and yet, you act all disgusted by me! Take this, you b*stard!”

Finnegan avoided her punch by moving his head slightly to the side.

“Don’t dodge it!” Romona yelled as she stood up and kicked Finnegan.

She was determined to give him a beating for insulting her charm.

Finnegan frowned as he jabbed two fingers at her supporting leg. “Don’t get ahead of yourself now!”

Before Romona knew what was going on, her supporting leg gave out beneath her, and she fell on top of Finnegan.

The air around them instantly became thick with tension.

Even Finnegan wasn’t expecting this to happen. The corner of his lips twitched slightly. “Are you doing this on

purpose? I’m glad I have my pants on, or I’d be traumatized for life!”

“Ah! Finnegan, you b*stard! You f*cking b*stard! I can’t believe you’d try to take my virginity like this!” Romona

screamed while pounding at Finnegan’s chest with both fists.

*F*ck! Get off me before you break it!” Finnegan exclaimed in pain.

Casper, who thought something bad had happened when he heard the scream, came running back as quickly as his

legs could carry.

His eyes went wide with shock when he saw the two of them in such an intimate position. “My goodness! Get a

room, you two! We’re in public here!”
