A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 13 Retribution

Five years ago, Finnegan left home and met his mentor in Bellridge. He was then brought to Xanfield.

His mentor only passed the Primordial Pharmacopoeia down to him, taught him for a year, and then poisoned him, demanding that he remove it all before returning home. Eventually, his mentor went on a journey to explore the world.

Finnegan now knew that his mentor’s name was Sawyer Aiello, also known as the Eternal Medicine God.

As for the rest, Finnegan was not sure and hadn’t investigated it. Before leaving, Sawyer said that when Finnegan removed the poison and returned home, the former would come to the latter and reveal the truth about some matters.

So in the past few years, Finnegan had been diligently practicing his cultivation, removing the poison from his body, and practicing medicine by treating patients who come to him for help.

Upon hearing Finnegan’s response, the Zimmerman family knew the man was reluctant to say much.

Hence, they did not probe further too.

As the banquet was about to end, the housekeeper came to report. “Mr. and Mrs. Zimmerman, the son and daughter of the Miles family has arrived.”

“Are you referring to Trey and Sasha Miles?” Patrick asked.

“Yes, Mr. Zimmerman.”

Upon confirming the identity of the visitors, Patrick couldn’t help but wonder about the reason for the two young members of the Miles family’s appearance since he did not even. have much interaction with their father before.

Despite his curiosity, Patrick still had his housekeeper invite the guests in, considering that they all belonged to the same circle in Jadeborough.

Soon, the young man and woman entered the living room.

The male was tall, handsome, and exuded youthful confidence with every move. The female was also strikingly beautiful; the black dress she had on accentuated her tall and slender figure. She was almost as attractive as Bernice.

Bernice whispered in Finnegan’s car, “The man is Trey, and the woman is Sasha. They are the
