A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 106 Liam Has A Scheme

“You scared me, Bernie! Are you all right?” Jennifer anxiously examined her daughter’s body.

“I’m fine, Mom. No need to worry about me,” reassured Bernice.

“Captain Quickwood informed me that those people were Rocky’s men. Do you know why they captured you?”

Patrick and his wife had arrived outside of Josephine’s old home, concerned about the awakened Bernice. Avoiding their eye contact, Bernice answered, “I don’t know. Maybe it’s just an ordinary kidnapping case.”

In reality, she had already figured out what was going on when she woke up and realized she had been abducted by Rocky.

She had a feeling it was because Finnegan smashed up Ark Bar, but she pretended not to know anything.

It was to prevent her parents from blaming Finnegan for her kidnapping.

Cindy, who had accompanied them, turned back and stared at Finnegan’s ruined home. The reason she recognized the place was that she had dropped by with Bernice twice before. “Strange. Why did they bring you to Finnegan’s place after capturing you?”

“This is Finnegan’s home?” Patrick frowned, genuinely unaware of that fact.

Cindy nodded. “That right there is Finnegan’s home, though it’s destroyed. Bernie and I visited this place. twice before. I wonder why Bernie was brought here. Is it a coincidence?”

As the leader of a massive corporation, Patrick was, naturally, no typical businessman.

A hypothesis formed in his mind as he observed Bernice’s odd behavior and listened to Cindy’s words.

Nevertheless, he didn’t give voice to his speculation. “Maybe this is just a coincidence. Rocky—”

At that moment, Liam arrived with Haily and interrupted, “This isn’t a coincidence, Mr. Zimmerman! Bernice was kidnapped because of Finnegan!”

Bernice’s eyebrow twitched. “What nonsense are you saying, Mr. Sable?”

Patrick narrowed his eyes at the new arrival. “Why are you here, Mr. Sable?”

Though he knew Finnegan might have been the cause of Bernice’s abduction, he still disliked Liam more.

However, Liam didn’t seem to detect Patrick’s disdain for him. “The moment I learned of Bernie’s disappearance, I employed my family’s connections to locate her. That’s why I came here as soon as I received news of her whereabouts, Mr. Zimmerman.”
