A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 50 Apology

Tristan? An icy look flashed across Finnegan’s eyes when he heard the voice.

Bernice recognized the voice as well. “That’s Tristan, no? What is he doing here?”

Finnegan concealed the look in his eyes and calmly picked up his cup. “Killian had fallen. sick, and none of the

medical experts could cure him. I guess Tristan is here to ask Mr. Magnussen for help.”

Having learned about Finnegan’s situation over the past few days, Jerome knew about the grievances between

Finnegan and the Chomsky family.

Jerome then rose to his feet and put on a grim expression. “Master, please enjoy your drink. I’ll shoo them away.”

“Hi, Dr. Magnussen!” Tristan greeted enthusiastically when he saw Jerome. However, one could tell Tristan was

faking it.

With a nonchalant look on his face, Jerome looked at Oscar and the dozen of bodyguards. from the Chomsky family

indifferently. “Mr. Chomsky, you brought a large group of people with you, haven’t you? What is it that you want?”

Tristan frowned in displeasure when he sensed Jerome giving him the cold shoulder.

However, Tristan quickly remembered what he was there for, so he laughed it off and said, “I heard you’re

providing treatment for the sick again, Dr. Magnussen. I brought ten million. with me, and I hope you can treat my

son, Killian. Also, my friend here, Oscar, would like to- get treated.”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t know how!”

Tristan thought Jerome would surely agree to provide treatment, but Jerome rejected him. unhesitatingly.

Tristan froze momentarily because he thought he had misheard Jerome.

Oscar, who was also hoping to get treatment, uttered in a deep voice, “Dr. Magnussen, you’re one of the top ten

doctors in Loang, so you’re definitely a brilliant doctor. How could you say such a thing when you haven’t even

taken a look at your patients? Don’t you have an obligation to save lives?”

Tristan suppressed his displeasure and chimed in. “I hope you can treat them, Dr. Magnussen! If you want more

money, I can double the amount to twenty million!”

Jerome was unfazed. While waving dismissively he said, “Please leave. You’re right. I have an

obligation to save lives. However, I don’t treat iminoral patients!”

“What are you talking about, Mr. Magnussen?” Tristan was no longer addressing Jerome with

the same tone.

“Nothing. Please leave!” Jerome gestured for his guests to leave.

Being an influential man in Jadeborough and a founder of a company that was worth tens of billions, Tristan wasn’t

happy with the disrespect shown by Jerome. “Mr. Magnussen, over the past two years, you’ve crossed countless

people when you declined to treat them. Are you sure you want to reject me as well?”

“What’s the matter, Mr. Chomsky? Are you threatening me?” Jerome sneered.

Seeing how things had turned out, Tristan didn’t see the point of pretending anymore. In an indifferent tone, he

replied, “Jerome, I was afraid of you two years ago. Now, however, you’re no longer as celebrated and admired.

Why can’t I threaten you?”

In the next second, Tristan waved his arm and ordered, “Follow me to the General Hospital now to treat my son!

Otherwise, your reopening is going to turn out badly.”

Jerome was an ethical doctor who wouldn’t sit on his hands and watch others die.

However, he wasn’t going to budge after learning about the grudge between Finnegan and the Chomsky family.

“I’m sorry. I’m not treating your son. Please leave the clinic!”

“How dare you turn me down? You’re asking for it!” Tristan yelled.

Having come a long way to get to where he was, Tristan was undeniably ruthless. He then turned around and

instructed his bodyguards, “Trash the place! Destroy everything in sight until this old man says yes to me! Let’s

show him the consequences of disrespecting me!”

“How dare you?” Jerome fumed.

“There’s nothing I’m afraid of in Jadeborough,” Tristan sneered.

“Is that so? You’re a proud man, aren’t you, Mr. Chomsky?” Finnegan appeared behind and asked, “I wonder what

would happen if the top ten prominent families were to hear what you said. Would they consider the Chomsky

family the most powerful family in Jadeborough?”

Tristan abruptly turned around and instinctively took two steps back when he heard. Finnegan’s voice coming from

behind.

Needless to say, Tristan was infuriated. “What are you doing here?” he asked with a scowl. I thought I could get

Oscar’s expression also turned grim, and his gaze was filled with malice.

Finnegan then stepped forward and smiled. “This is my clinic. Why shouldn’t I be here? Did I hear you ask your men

to trash my clinic, Mr. Chomsky?”

“Your clinic?” Tristan was confused.

In response, Finnegan pointed at the business license hanging on the wall Bernice had obtained a couple of days

prior. “I know you’re an arrogant man, but could it be that you’re also illiterate?”

Tristan glanced at the business license and saw Finnegan’s name on it.

A deep crease appeared between his brows, and he knew there was no way Jerome would provide treatment.

Upon shooting Finnegan a cold glance, Tristan turned around and said to his men. “Let’s go!”

Tristan knew he couldn’t afford to offend Finnegan. I’ll just wait for Oscar’s seniors to get here to teach Finnegan a

lesson.

“Stop right there!” Finnegan demanded. “Do you think you can just leave after threatening somebody?”

Tristan turned around to ask, “What do you want?”

Hearing that, Bernice tugged at Finnegan’s shirt and said, “Just let it go.”

Bernice didn’t want to have to get them out of the police station again.

Finnegan patted Bernice’s hand to calm her down before shooting Tristan a vicious look. “Apologize to Mr.

Magnussen. Otherwise, you’re not leaving.”

“Do you really want to have a fallout between us, Finnegan?” Tristan asked.

“Does that make a difference?” Finnegan sneered.

Indeed, the two were already ready to fight each other to the death.

Tristan’s expression changed dramatically, but he eventually suppressed his apologized, “I’m sorry for what

happened just now!”

anger and

With that, he shot Finnegan a murderous look before leaving with his men.

Seeing that, Finnegan flashed a faint smile and said, “That man knows when to relent and when to persist. No

wonder he managed to build something out of nothing.”

In a helpless tone, Bernice said, “Tristan is a prideful man. He’s surely looking forward to getting back at you.”

“Even if I didn’t do what I just did, he would still do the same thing. Hence, why should I show him respect?”

Finnegan was smiling, and it seemed like he couldn’t be bothered by his hatred for Tristan. If I didn’t plan to

gradually force the Chomsky family into extinction, I would’ve wiped them out the moment I returned.

With that in mind, he turned around and said, “Mr. Magnussen, let’s continue our discussion. We need to talk about

the opening and the issues regarding manpower.”

Despite seeing how unperturbed Finnegan was, Bernice was worried sick. What if Tristan comes back for revenge?

“Mr. Goldberg, when will your seniors get here? I can’t wait for Finnegan to die!” While on the way enveloped by

murderous intent.

back, Tristan was

In response, Oscar answered, “One of them can get here anytime, but I don’t think that’s enough to take Finnegan

down. Let’s just wait for the other three to arrive as well. They’ll need another five days.”

Tristan clenched his fists upon hearing that. “That’s Friday. Coincidentally, that’s on the fourteenth day of the time

Finnegan had given. He’ll finally see what a clown he is on that day!”
