A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 84 Two Days Left

Alld. It’s killing me! Dad, just let me die! I don’t want to live anymore! I really don’t want on live, please! Let me die!

I’m begging you!”

in

In the Va Neurology Ward, Killian’s limbs twisted as he suffered another attack. After enduring this torture for over

ten days, he was now skin and bones, and his screams from the

were hoarse

Gone was the confident demeanor that the scion of the Chomsky family used to exude,

The wounds on his limbs repeatedly split apart, causing blood to ooze out every hour. The hospital bed he lay on

was now a terrifying canvas of crimson stains.

Tristan observed his son’s anguished face, his own eyes bloodshot. “Killi, just endure a bit longer. I promise to make

Finnegan cure you while on his knees, and then you can be the one to take him down. His entire family will pay the

price for what you’ve endured!”

“But I can’t endure it any longer! I can’t!”

More than ten days of forment had shattered Killian’s will to live, he simply longed for the release of death.

Tristan was about to offer further words of comfort when Finnegan’s amused voice sounded. “You better endure it,

as I’m still waiting for the moment you’ll kneel and beg for mercy.”

“Finnegan!”

Tristan swiftly turned around. His surrounding bodyguards went on high alert as well.

Finnegan strolled over with a smile, casting a sidelong glance at Killian’s wretched state. He clucked his tongue and

said, “Well, even if you were to kneel and repent now, it seems like you wouldn’t be able to kneel properly, huh?”

After days of torment and two or three hundred instances of agonizing contortions, there was no longer a patch of

intact flesh on Killian’s limbs. He appeared to be a bloody mess.

Iven if the contorting episodes stopped, he was now destined to be a cripple for the rest of

his life

Tristan growled, “Finnegan!”

From his hospital bed, Killian let out a hoarse roar of anger. “Finnegan, this won’t end well for you Just give me a

quick death already!”

Fuega, serted. A sick death for you! After what your dad just said, do you think I’m m

me to leave my hometown, destroyed my entire family, and left my dad paralyzed and unable to care for himself.

How could I possibly give you a quick death?”

With his emotions growing more intense, Finnegan almost yelled, “Besides, you repented. Why should you enjoy a

quick death?”

haven’t

Killian wanted to retort, but the pain from his twisted limbs left him only able to scream in

agony.

“Finnegan, I’m giving you one last chance. Make Killi’s suffering stop, or you’ll regret it!”

With a disdainful smile, Finnegan turned away indifferently. “Seeing Killian in so much pain. has improved my mood

quite a bit. As for giving me a chance, there’s no need for that. You better make the most of the last chance I’m

giving the Chomsky family, especially since there are only two days left!”

Staring at Finnegan’s retreating figure, Tristan contemplated ordering the bodyguards to attack him several times.

In the end, he held back. “Finnegan, you will regret this!”

Early in the morning, Oscar had left the hospital. His seniors had already arrived in Jadeborough.

After leaving the hospital, Finnegan had originally intended to visit the military hospital to deliver the Long Life Pill to

Jeremy. However, Bernice called him and suggested having lunch together.

As such, Finnegan adjusted his plans and took a taxi to a restaurant near Firebird Group.

“Finnegan!”

Before long, Bernice arrived in a black professional-looking dress.

Finnegan’s eyes lit up at the sight. “Darling, you look absolutely beautiful today!”

Normally, Bernice dressed more plainly and modestly, giving off a pure and elegant vibe. However, that day,

Bernice exuded a mature and capable air like that of a strong and independent woman.

Bernice deliberately huffed. “Wasn’t I beautiful before?”

“Of course you were, but every day, you seem more beautiful than the last, and my heart can hardly handle it.”

Finnegan’s words made Bernice burst into laughter.

tongue

Finnegan chuckled. “Having a smooth tongue is a surefire way to master the art of kissing. Seems like you’ve had

some experience with it.”

Bernice’s lips twitched.

Feeling a mix of amusement and exasperation, she asked, “Is there anything I say that your can’t turn into a slick

remark?”

Finnegan answered with a straight face, “How can this be considered slick? These are words. of love from me to

you!”

“Ugh, you!” Bernice sighed in exasperation. “Be honest with me. Do I really look good in this outfit today?”

“It’s not that the outfit makes you look good; you just naturally look good. You would look even better without

anything on.”

Finnegan couldn’t help but recall the situation when he had treated Bernice. Her figure was indeed quite

remarkable.

However…

Recalling something, he looked at Bernice’s blushing face and asked, “Darling, why suppress your natural

magnificence? Wearing something that fits your size is the way to go.”

Her blush deepening, Bernice muttered under her breath, “You meanie! You must’ve touched them a lot back

then!”

In order to maintain a professional image as a CEO, she purposely chose a slightly smaller size for her

undergarments so that her ample bosom wouldn’t bounce too much as she walked, which would attract looks and

comments from others. Little did she expect that Finnegan could tell with just a glance. Bernice figured he must

have touched them while he was treating her.

Finnegan realized Bernice was really feeling shy now, so he changed the topic.

“By the

way.

did your family cause any more trouble after I left last night?”

Bernice didn’t expect him to change the subject and muttered, “Meanie! You just changed the topic like that!” After

that, she answered, “Well, once you left, everyone stopped making a fuss, but the atmosphere changed, and the

guests started leaving one after another, so the party ended early.”

With some agitation, Bernice continued, “Besides, I heard from the butler that after the

Firebird Pharmaceuticals. It turned out that they were just vitamin supplements. Upon hearing this, Grandpa flew

into a rage and proclaimed that the Sable family was treating him. like a fool. When Grandma tried to console him,

she got shouted at, leaving everyone too scared to say anything.”

Finnegan said knowingly, “If it were just about those two fake Long Life Pills, your grandpa wouldn’t have been so

furious. This is probably him venting his frustration of missing out on the real Long Life Pill,”

“I thought the same thing.” Bernice nodded. “Early this morning, Grandpa called me, and he was surprisingly nice

to me. He said that if you have time, he’d like me to bring you back to the Zimmerman residence for a meal.”

Finnegan coldly snorted. “Well, we all know what he’s really after. Let’s see when he’s ready to acknowledge our

relationship first before we discuss anything else.”

Aware of Bruce’s real intentions, Bernice didn’t insist on the meal. “I’ll go along with whatever you decide.”

“Darling, is the arrangement you made with your grandfather really okay?”

If Bernice couldn’t follow through, Finnegan wouldn’t mind giving Bruce a Long Life Pill just so that he wouldn’t stop

Finnegan from being with Bernice.

Bernice’s expression dimmed. “Saying it’s okay would be a lie, but it’s not really a huge problem either.”

Finnegan took her hand and asked, “Could you tell me about it? Maybe I can help in some way?”

Bernice figured the company matters were too complex for Finnegan to fully understand, so she shook her head

with a smile.

“No need. I already have a rough idea of what to do. You just wait for the Zimmerman family to accept our

relationship. Now, tell me about your situation. What happened last night? I don’t believe that both the Haimowitz

and Miles families would have already successfully invited Mr. Wright within ten minutes of the incident.”
