A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 32 The House Is Gone

Friday soon came.

For the past two days, Finnegan had been going to the Langdon residence to perform Howard’s acupuncture sessions and returning to the Wahlstrom residence to treat Theoden in the evening

Whenever he was free, he would call Bernice or chat with her. Life was such leisure.

The only bad thing was how rampant Alisha got in trying to seduce him. There were a few times Finnegan nearly gave in.

Fortunately, he was returning at the end of that day, so Alisha would no longer get that many chances to come close to him.

“Dr. Larkin, please stay two more days so that I can thank you for your kindness.”

Knowing that Finnegan was going to return to Jadeborough upon leaving the Wahlstrom residence, Theoden tried his best to keep Finnegan around.

However, Finnegan said, “It’s my sister’s birthday today. It’s been five years since I celebrated it with her. Moreover, the Chomskys seem to be lying a little too low. I’m worried that they’ll come after my parents if I’m not around them.”

The mention of the Chomsky family made Theoden scoff. “Dr. Larkin, is there really a need to make things so difficult? All I need is your word, and I’ll make the Chomsky family vanish from Jadeborough right away.”

Finnegan chuckled. That’ll be too easy for the Chomsky family, and that won’t alleviate the fury in me.”

After chatting for a while longer, and asking Alisha to pick him up from the Langdon residence in the afternoon again, Finnegan left. By then, Mandy was already there to pick him up.

Theoden only looked away from Finnegan after seeing the latter enter the car. Staring at his granddaughter with a smile, he asked, “My dear, did you succeed last night? I made Dr. Larkin drink quite an amount to help you out.”

Alisha stomped her foot in anger the second she recalled what happened the night before. “No! He’s such a dense man!”

While Finnegan was away, she had sneaked into his room and lay on his bed, naked. However, it seemed like Finnegan realized she was in the room just as he reached the entrance, and he left. She did not know where he went, and she was so downcast she did not

Theoden only chuckled but did not ask any more questions about it. Instead, he said, “Keep trying. I have faith in your charm.”
