A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 25 I Would Never Lie To You

An elderly man’s anxious voice was followed by the sound of a woman groaning.

The door opened a few moments later, and a skinny old man came running out with a few cuts on his clothes and two streaks of blood on his face. He then quickly shut the door behind him and locked it as quickly as possible.

Someone could be heard banging on the door in an attempt to get out of the room.

Winston walked out of the gazebo with Wynter holding him steady. “Jerome?”

Bernice, too, greeted him politely, “Mr. Magnussen.”

Jerome wiped his tears as he said, “You should leave, Winston. I can’t even cure my own daughter, so I have no right to treat anyone else. Please seek medical assistance elsewhere.” He then turned toward Bernice and continued, “I only have two conditions: either two hundred million, or cure Yuliana, and I will hand Jerome Medical Clinic over unconditionally. I’m in no mood to discuss anything else.”

pay me

Winston let out a sigh when he saw how depressed Jerome was. “Jerome, I can pay you if you need money. You don’t need to hand over your work of a lifetime. I just need you to treat me and prolong my life by another two to three years.”

Jerome simply ignored him and sat down by the stairs next to the entrance.

Determined to have Jerome treat him, Winston refused to leave as well. He had Wynter help him back to the gazebo and sat down to continue waiting. He had gotten used to waiting there from morning until night in hopes of getting Jerome to treat him.

Bernice walked up to Jerome and said, “I can pay you the two hundred million, but I need to do so over the course of two years. Would that be okay with you? I will pay the interest accordingly if you agree to this arrangement, Mr. Magnussen.”

The land and surrounding roads had a market value of two hundred and fifty million, so two hundred million was considered a low price.

However, Bernice couldn’t get him that much money in such a short amount of time.

Although Firebird Group was worth tens of billions, it didn’t have tens of billions of cash readily available. Besides, Firebird Group was a listed company, and the Zimmerman family only owned a little over thirty percent of its shares, so they would only get about one billion from the annual dividend.

Even then, the one billion did not belong to Bee entirely. Her grandfather, who founded Firebird Group, would distribute it accordingly
