A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 148 Of Course I Knew

“Here’s what we know about Finnegan, Mr. Royle. There is a slight problem.”

At dusk, a bodyguard of the Royle family arrived at the ward and handed Vilmar two sheets of the investigative report.

Ariendel and Matthias who was feeling better hurried over.

“What’s problematic about that kid?” Matthias scoffed. “He looks like a nobody.”

After signaling for the group to be quiet, Vilmar took the documents and perused them.

He furrowed his brows. “I didn’t expect this fellow to be so well-connected”

“Well-connected? Where is he from?” Ariendel asked.

Vilmar handed the documents to her. “He comes from an ordinary family, but his medical skills seem impressive. He treated Gilbert Miles. Winston Haimowitz, and even Old Mr. Langdon. Three families owe him. For that reason, Gilbert let him occupy Dragon Bay. The Haimowitz family arranged for his sister to be employed in Pentariver Group as Wynter’s secretary. And Bernice Zimmerman, the most beautiful out of the Four Beauties of Jadeborough, is his girlfriend. He has useful connections.”

Ariendel scoffed after perusing them. “Meteoric rises exist, I see. However, it’s still an indication of the Chomsky family’s incompetence. Otherwise, Finnegan would have been finished five years ago.”

The report documented not only Finnegan’s ordeal over that period but also his encounter with Killian five years prior.

Matthias took the documents.

After taking a glance, he said contemptuously, “Though his meteoric rise is commendable, it’s a shame that he ended up crossing paths with you, Mr. Vilmar. Even the Langdon family can’t protect him. How could the Haimowitz and Miles families of Jadeborough? Based on this report, however, this fellow is most likely Ms. Langdon’s shield. How dare he-”

Halfway through his tirade, he fell abruptly silent at the sight of Vilmar’s scowl.

Vilmar would not want to be reminded of Finnegan kissing and holding Mandy the night before.

Ariendel changed the subject tactfully. “Now that we have found out about Finnegan, Mr. Vilmar, what should we do next? Shall we have a bodyguard apprehend him?”

The rest nodded in agreement.

Two dozen of them, whom Finnegan had humiliated, could barely wait to exact vengeance.

Vilmar narrowed his eyes. “I heard your uncle’s family works for Mr. Calandrino, Matthias?”
