Chapter 22 I Will Not Treat It

“Quiana, you have to save Max! He’s your only nephew.”

“What happened, Melinda?”

The following morning, Finnegan had just finished Desmond’s treatment when he heard his aunt, Melinda Cork, crying in their courtyard.

take a look, Dad,” he said before stepping out of the house, only to see Melinda. clutching Quiana’s hands in sheer desperation and agony.

Upon seeing Finnegan, Melinda let go of her sister-in-law and rushed toward him, seemingly wanting to grab his hand.

Thankfully, Finnegan managed to dodge her in time. I think I know what she’s so upset about… Max must’ve been diagnosed with leukemia.

“Finny, you have to save Max!”

“What’s wrong with Max, Aunt Melinda?” Finnegan replied, feigning ignorance.

Melinda knew Finnegan was merely putting on an act, but given that she needed his help, how could she expose him? “After what you said yesterday, we immediately sent Max for a check-up. It turns out he really does have leukemia, and we’ve already hospitalized him.”

Kind-hearted as usual, Quiana grew increasingly worried. “What? So it’s true that Max has leukemia? What should we do now, then?”

“The doctor said Max requires a bone marrow transplant, and a family donor would most. likely give the best outcome,” Adrian blurted out, looking nothing like his usual quiet and reserved self. “Sadly, Mel, Helen, and I aren’t compatible donors, so we’re turning to you, Finny, and Rhia for help.”

“Please help us,” Melinda begged as she wiped away her tears. “We’d be able to save a lot of money if we can find a family donor.”

Just as Quiana was about to agree, Finnegan pulled her back and fixed his aunt with a cold. stare. “What gives you the right?”
