A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 80 Who Asked You Here

Stephen’s arrival had undoubtedly shaken the crowd as everyone wondered whether it could he Gilbert and Winston’s doing.

There was no doubting their capability to orchestrate such an entrance.

Yet, what intrigued people more was why they’d go to such lengths for Finnegan.

Bruce cast a skeptical look at Bernice. “Do you have any idea what’s happening here?”

As a matter of fact, Bernice was confused as well.

Faced with the inquisitive glances from the crowd, she could only voice what she thought was the most logical conclusion. “Finnegan previously cured Mr. Miles’ old injuries and also. healed Old Mr. Haimowitz’s chronic illness, so they both owe him.”

The room reverberated with nods and sighs of realization.

“I see. That makes sense.”

“And here I thought Finnegan has ties with the Wright family.”

“So Mr. Miles and Old Mr. Haimowitz are merely returning his favor. Phew, I thought Finnegan was secretly an influential man or something.”

Bruce couldn’t help but feel let down by the revelation. He had thought that Finnegan was well-connected with the Wright family.

Turning around, he said, “Old Mr. Sable, let’s not dwell on this matter any further. The night is still young, so let’s continue our feast and drinks. Everyone, return to your seats and continue having fun.”

The guests returned to the banquet hall.

Millicent snickered. “I thought he had some clout. It turns out he’s just a paper tiger. Let’s go.”

Liam, touching his sore cheek, whispered to Hailey, “You go ahead. I’ll contact you later.”

Then, he caught up with Millicent and said, “Old Mrs. Zimmerman, let me help you.”

“Sure, sure. You’re indeed a gentleman, Mr. Sable, unlike some shameless people, whose very existence is enough to taint their family’s reputation.”

It was clear that she was referring to Bernice’s family.
