A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 192 A Stab To The Heart

Bernice and Lindsey were locked in fierce combat.

Although the two did not confront each other directly, they treated Rhiannon as a tool in their battle, dragging her

around the mall. They didn’t just buy clothes for Rhiannon.

They also bought her cosmetics, jewelry, and electronic products, all of which were incredibly expensive. After a

rough calculation, Finnegan found that both of them had spent over eight hundred thousand each. This astonishing

level of consumption was becoming a bit too much for Rhiannon to handle.

Taking the opportunity, she found an excuse to approach Finnegan and asked, “Finn, are my two sister-in- laws

competing against each other?”

Finnegan gave her a light tap on the head. “Stop talking nonsense! You only have one sister-in-law.”

Rhiannon rubbed her forehead and said, “How come I never noticed how charming you were before? What do we

do now? Ms. Lindsey is clearly gritting her teeth in struggle!”

With a sigh, Finnegan asked, “You have Ms. Lindsey’s bank account number, right?”

“Yes, I do. What about it?”

“Give it to me. Then, I want you to take them out for a meal.”

Unsure of Finnegan’s intentions, Rhiannon quickly gave him Lindsey’s account number and found an excuse to take

Bernice and Lindsey to the buffet restaurant in the mall.

After obtaining the account number, Finnegan made some transactions and transferred one million over to

Lindsey’s account.

Apart from the expenses Lindsey just incurred, it was also to repay the gratitude over the years for her care toward

Rhiannon.

He also did that to make Lindsey understand his stance on the matter and stop being so stubborn.

Upon reaching the restaurant, Lindsey took the initiative to pay the bill first, and Bernice, with a smile, did not

compete.

Upon entering the restaurant and securing their seats, the four of them each went to get their meals. The

abundance of people made the place somewhat crowded, completely blocking the path. Lindsey, holding a tray,

politely called out to the people getting their food, “Excuse me, we need to get through.”

But the guests acted as if they hadn’t heard a thing, instead scrambling to get their food, fearing that the best

dishes would be snatched up by others.

A middle-aged woman, particularly fierce, pushed forward, bumping directly into Lindsey,

Caught off guard, the latter, still holding the dinner plate, immediately lost her balance.

With swift agility. Finnegan stepped forward, wrapping his arm around Lindsey’s waist. “Are you all right?” he asked.

Lindsey’s face turned a shade of red. “I’m fine: thank you!”

Afterwards, Rhiannon sneakily glanced at Bernice

Seeing her without any unusual behavior, he couldn’t help but inwardly admire Bernice.

Ms. Zimmerman really is magnanimous! If it were any other girl, they would probably start a fight if they saw their

boyfriend start a conversation with another girl, let alone hold another girl by the waist!

Lindsey frowned and asked. “There are too many people, what do we do if we can’t get through now?”

Finnegan withdrew his hand as he replied, “Being accommodating to others is just a saying. No one will truly make

things casy for you unless you make this matter relevant to them.”

As he spoke, Finnegan stepped forward with the tray in his hands as he continued, “Everyone, please don’t crowd

around me! The soup I’m carrying is quite hot! I wouldn’t want any of you to get scalded!*

The people who were originally blocking the way to the food immediately moved aside for Finnegan, instantly

clearing a path.

Finnegan led Bernice and the others over, returning to the dining table.

Rhiannon couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re so mean, Finn!”

Finnegan picked up a fork and handed it to Bernice, deliberately avoiding the expectant gaze of Lindsey. “The

essence of human nature is to remain indifferent unless personally affected. The only way to resonate with them is

to let your actions impact their interests.”

Just like before, when Lindsey asked them to make way, they turned a deaf ear.

But when he said the soup was hot, those who feared getting scalded naturally steered clear.

Bernice affectionately tapped Finnegan’s forehead and said, “You’re just using trickery, you sly fox!” “They left me

with no choice. Had I not done that, we’d be stuck there for over ten minutes!”

Seeing their affectionate behavior, Lindsey clenched her lips tightly.

Rhiannon silently sighed when she saw that.

Ms. Lindsey, you really shouldn’t have come looking for heartache!

After finishing their meal, the four of them left the mall.

After stuffing all the packages into Bernice’s car, Finnegan turned toward Lindsey and said, “Ms. Lindsey, we’ll be

heading off now.”

Lindsey’s mood was clearly low at this moment, she absentmindedly muttered, “Okay.”

Rhiannon gently held her hand and said, “Ms. Lindsey, I’ll call you when I get back.”

“Sure.”

Soon after, Finnegan and his sister, along with Bernice, took their leave, leaving Lindsey standing alone in the same

spot.

Only when the car was out of sight did she pull her gaze away, unable to suppress her overwhelming emotions any

longer.

She opened her car, sat inside, and leaned on the steering wheel, softly sobbing, “B*stard! B*stard!”

She knew that Finnegan must have already understood her feelings, and was deliberately avoiding them. Just then,

her phone began to beep.

Lindsey immediately stood up and unlocked her phone. It was a bank notification about a deposit.

Upon opening it, Lindsey couldn’t hold back her tears any longer. “Finnegan!”

The text in the notification wasn’t lengthy, but one part in particular was a glaringly painful stab to the heart.

Finnegan has transferred one million to you!

Upon returning to Dragon Bay, Rhiannon dragged Finnegan out of the car.

While Bernice was parking the car, she smacked Finnegan and asked in a low voice, “Finn, did you transfer one

million to Ms. Lindsey? What are you doing?”

Finnegan asked, “Did she text you about that?”

“Duh!”

Finnegan sighed. “Rhia, do you want your brother to be a devoted man, or do you want him to be a cheating

sc*mbag?”

Rhiannon frowned, unsure of how to respond to this.
