A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 19 Another Reason

“Should we ask her to stand up? She has already been punished for her deeds.”

As evening drew closer, Alisha brought Finnegan to Xendale. Sasha remained in the same kneeling position as people around her gossiped and pointed fingers in her direction.

Finnegan glanced at the sky. “Is it evening already?”

Knowing what he meant, Alisha let out a sigh. “Sometimes, you’re too harsh. You won’t even show a woman mercy.”

Sasha was part of the Miles family and also one of the Four Beauties of Jadeborough, but Finnegan was cruel enough to make her kneel till sunset.

Finnegan asked, “Why would I show mercy to a woman who looks down on me and has attempted to harm me?”

He’s clueless, huh? Alisha said nothing else and drove past Sasha, arriving at the Miles residence.

“Alisha, Mr. Larkin.”

Alisha had informed the Miles family of their arrival, so Kathleen and Trey were already waiting at the door to welcome them, showing their utmost respect.

purpose of his visit.

Kathleen showed no signs of being upset. With a graceful stride, she welcomed them into the mansion and guided them to the room belonging to Gilbert.

Gilbert was lying weakly in bed. A team of specialists from the hospital, including Alexander, had gathered around him, performing their daily routine of check-ups in an effort to stabilize his condition.

Seeing Finnegan, Alexander grew excited and greeted politely, “Mr. Larkin, we meet again.”

The specialists were surprised to see his reaction.

After all, they had never seen Alexander treating anyone politely, let alone a young man in his twenties. Confusion and disdain flashed across the specialists’ gazes when they recalled. the Miles family had hired Finnegan to treat Gilbert.
