A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 20 Let Him Recover On His Own

“You claimed you are able to extract the shrapnel, but now you are refusing to perform brain. surgery on Mr. Miles. Are you attempting to deceive them?” Oliver demanded excitedly as though he had gotten something on Finnegan.

Alexander frowned as it occurred to him that Oliver was being too petty.

Alisha had been silent the entire while, and she finally spoke up. Her voice was frosty as she asked, “Professor Fairlake, Mr. and Mrs. Miles didn’t question him. Who are you to speak. your mind?”

Oliver was just about to adopt an arrogant and patronizing tone with Alisha, but the second he spun around and looked at her, he realized who she was.

His face turned pale as he greeted in a trembling voice, “Ms. Wahlstrom.”

He dared not offend the granddaughter of the honcho of Walund’s underground circles.

Alisha gave him a threatening glare before turning to Finnegan. “Mr. Larkin, please start.”

Finnegan nodded and went to stand beside Gilbert.

“I’ll need a shaver and scalpel.”

Oliver was just about to voice his query about why Finnegan had altered his stance on performing a surgical procedure when Alisha directed a pointed look in his direction. He quickly averted his gaze, not daring to speak a single word.

The Miles family made sure they gather all the necessary medical equipment so that Gilbert. would be able to receive the treatment he needed in a timely manner. Soon, Finnegan received a shaver and scalpel as requested.

Using the shaver, Finnegan shaved off some of Gilbert’s hair so part of his scalp was visible.

He then retrieved the gold needles.

Alexander wasn’t at all surprised as he had seen the gold needles previously when Finnegan cured his headache. However, the other specialists could barely hide their surprise.

Ordinary people would find it difficult to use gold needles because they are much softer than the silver needles that were generally used.

Finnegan looked young, so they doubted if he could use them well.

Finnegan grabbed eighteen gold needles and jabbed them all within
