A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 131 Following Through On The Bet

Later that night, they had cleaned up the paint and the mess at Jerome Medical Clinic so well that it looked as though nothing had ever happened there.

“Why don’t you go stay at a hotel with Ms. Magnussen tonight, Mr. Magnussen?” Finnegan said while glancing at the time.

Given how vengeful Solomon was, Finnegan knew that he would surely show up that night.

“But then it’ll just be you and Casper! Are you sure about this, Master?” Jerome asked worriedly.

“Wouldn’t it be worse if you and Ms. Magnussen were around if we ran into trouble?”

Jerome was an elderly man, and Yuliana was still recovering from a major illness.

Jerome figured he made a good point. “In that case, Yuliana and I will be on our way now. Give me a call if anything happens.”

Finnegan then had Casper escort them into a taxi while he pulled up a recliner and lay down on it outside the entrance.

“Finnegan, are you sure we’ll be fine on our own?” Casper asked when he returned.

The wounds that he had gotten from the beating earlier that day were no longer visible.

Finnegan cooled himself off with a fan as he replied, “Don’t worry! Just pull up a recliner, and let’s have a little chat.”

Casper felt a little reassured when he saw how calm Finnegan was.

He pulled up a recliner and lay down on it. “Where have you been for the last five years? Why do you know how to fight and practice medicine after you return?”

“Because Killian was putting a lot of pressure on me, so I ran away from home and headed over to Bellridge. After roaming the streets for a few days, I ran into an elderly doctor and ended up becoming his student. I then followed him to Xanfield after that.”

Finnegan chose not to hide any details that he deemed safe to share.

He also trusted Casper not to go around telling everyone about such things.

After listening to Finnegan’s story, Casper clicked his tongue and said, “Your mentor sure is something else! Not only did he teach you medicine, but he also taught you how to fight! Does he still accept disciples?”
