A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 237 Refusing To Resolve It Peacefully

At dusk, at the entrance of the city’s police department,

“We’ve received reports of an incident today where an electric bike hit and killed a person, and another incident where a teacher forced a student to jump off a building. Yet, it seems your police department has arrested the deceased’s family and the student’s parents. Is that correct?”

“May I ask if there’s any particular background to the perpetrators of these two incidents that has led the police department to disregard right from wrong!

“Why is it that the police department is not pursuing the perpetrator who killed someone in a car accident and that malicious teacher, but instead detaining the victim’s family members?”

“Can the police department please provide a straightforward answer? Have the deceased’s family and the students’ parents been subjected to personal threats?”

A swarm of journalists were gathered there, bombarding the police department with questions about Desmond and Quiana’s case. The situation had the police department’s staff at their wits end, leaving them no choice but to keep the reporters outside the door.

From inside a car in the distance, Romona put down her phone and said with a wry smile, “Commissioner Hawthorne says the media is focusing on these incidents, and both families have hired lawyers to get involved. It’s not convenient to arrange for you to meet them anymore. You’ve seen it yourself. If you get involved with the family under these circumstances, there’s no guarantee the media won’t twist your words and further complicate the situation!”

Watching those media outlets that seem to relish in escalating matters, listening to their sharp questions, Finnegan let out a sigh of frustration.

“There really are too many unscrupulous media outlets. They only focus on the fact that the police detained the victim’s family, but deliberately ignore what the victim’s family has done!”

Romona said. “The news articles won’t sound appealing otherwise. You’ll get used to it.”

Finnegan said, “I don’t have to meet with the students’ parents or the deceased’s family, just let me see them. I want to know if all this is just a coincidence.”

Accompanying them, Bernice asked, “Finnegan, do you also feel that someone is setting us up?”

Upon hearing this, Finnegan looked at Bernice in surprise, “Darling, do you really think so too?”

After glancing at Romona, Bernice nodded and said, “From what we see now, the evidence is indeed conclusive. That’s definitely an issue with Mr. Larkin and Mrs. Larkin. Considering what happened to Rhia last night, however, I feel this is too much of a coincidence. However, I can’t be sure. After all, the elderly man who was hit by Mrs. Larkin did indeed die, and that student really did fall from the third floor. Surely, no one would risk their family’s lives to frame others, right?”
