A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 291 Suffer A Double Loss

All along, Finnegan knew something was amiss.

That was why, after arriving at the Zimmerman residence, Finnegan was constantly on guard around Millicent and her group. Therefore, when they offered him a toast, he deliberately agreed, using it as an excuse to drink more/

He simply wanted to see what kind of scheme they were really up to.

However, he never expected that this was their plan.

test us?”

Finnegan reached out and turned on the bedside lamp.

The sudden brightness made Queenie blush deeply, and she quickly shielded herself with one hand.

With a meaningful glance, Finnegan realized that he and Queenie were almost touching each other.

A playful smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth. “Since you already know, why aren’t you hurrying down? You should be aware that even if you sit on me now, it’s pointless. I won’t mistake my drunkenness for having slept with you!”

In other words, even if Queenie continued to dedicate herself, she wouldn’t get what she desired.

Instead, it would result in the needless sacrifice of her body.

Despite a moment’s hesitation, Queenie still showed no intention of leaving.
