A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 48 Gave Too Little

Half an hour later, Finnegan retracted all the silver needles with his palm.

“Get up and see how it feels!”

At that, Cadmus and Benjamin hastily stepped forward to help Winston up from the bed.

However, the latter waved a hand and declined their help. “No, it’s okay. I can get up by myself.”

Following that, he flipped over and sat up on the bed. His movements were so agile that he did not look the least bit like an elderly man who was already in his eighties. Instead, he was even more sprightly than the average sixty-year-old person.

Upon witnessing that scene, the members of the Haimowitz family were all over the moon. Benjamin was so thrilled that he could not help asking, “How do you feel, Dad?”

Winston put on his shoes and got to his feet. He punched the air with both hands and kicked. his legs out a few times.

After doing that, he guffawed, unbelievably energetic. “I feel like I’ve gone back in time by twenty years! You’re really a miracle doctor, Mr. Larkin!”

Whirling around, he bowed low to Finnegan. “You’re the Haimowitz family’s esteemed henceforth, Mr. Larkin. Just say the word if you need anything.”

Cadmus and the others thanked Finnegan as well.

“I’ll definitely do as you say, Mr. Larkin!”

A brief pause ensued before Finnegan added, “Also, the younger generation can take care of themselves. I think you should give them an opportunity to train and grow. Otherwise, they’ll never improve if they’re used to your presence. Even if you can live to a hundred, wouldn’t there be no point then?”

Winston had always been worried that his descendants were not capable enough. He was one of the few among the top ten wealthiest families in Jadeborough who had yet to retire despite being over eighty years old.
