A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 44 Failed To Get Him Out

Romona knew the Chomskys were wicked but turned a blind eye to their actions since there was no evidence against them.

In contrast, she chose to question Finnegan’s disappearance in the last five years.

Finnegan shook his head and smirked before closing his eyes. That’s hideous and pathetic.

Romona continued raising her voice. “Finnegan, you’d better behave if you want to get out of this place.”

Yet, Finnegan gave her no response as if he was focused on his meditation.

Romona’s expression darkened as she strode past the table and seized Finnegan by the collar. “Finnegan, I know you’re frustrated, but it’s useless. You have no evidence against the Chomskys, but there’s footage from the surveillance camera of you assaulting people at General Hospital. You’d better come clean!”

Finnegan opened his eyes and said, “Captain Quickwood, I have the right to remain silent, don’t I?”

“You b*stard!” When Romona was about to beat him up, two of her colleagues held her back. “Captain Quickwood, you can’t resort to violence anymore since you’ve been warned. And Finnegan isn’t one of the heinous criminals. You won’t be able to justify the reason for hitting

him.”

Finnegan sneered, “Go on and hit me! Show the world how you’ll kill me on behalf of the Chomskys!”

Romona wished she could punch Finnegan in the face upon noticing his sarcastic expression.

After suppressing her urge, Romona shoved her colleagues aside and returned to her seat. “Finnegan, do you think you can get away by not saying anything? Just the footage alone is enough to hold you responsible for the crime. And you still need to explain where you went in the last five years.”

Once again, Finnegan shut his eyes, refusing to cooperate with her.

Fury surged inside Romona as she did not think Finnegan would be a tough nut to crack. How can I torture him without bringing trouble to myself?

At that moment, the door to the interrogation room swung open. A middle-aged man in uniform with the rank of deputy commissioner walked in. He heaved a sigh of relief at the sight of Finnegan sitting unharmed in his chair.
