A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 11

Finnegan sealed off Lindsey’s nerves and made sure that she would not bleed.

Then he made an incision about three millimeters wide at Lindsey’s soft lump. Lindsey felt nothing.

“I’m going to extract the soft lump with my palm, so I’ll have to put my hand on it.”

Lindsey’s face turned redder, and her palms becime damp.

However, at that point, she could only hum softly in agreement.

Finnegan was speechless. Must she make that sound?

Nevertheless, he quickly recomposed himself and covered his shaky palm over the wound. He then

channeled his spiritual energy into his palm before letting it seep into the tiny incision. It was meant to

work just like a scalpel.

That was the Condensed Energy Blade from Primordial Pharmacopoeia.

It was the best way to minimize trauma for the patients in surgery.

However, this method required physicians to possess spiritual energy, so it was a lost art.

Lindsey was stiff and bright red in the face, for she could feel Finnegan’s hand acutely. However, she

did not dare to make a sound, fearing that others would run in because of it. If that were to happen, she

would be utterly embarrassed.

A few minutes later, Finnegan retracted his hand. A thumb-sized soft and black lump was now in his

palm..

“I’m done.”

Lindsey opened her eyes, and the first thing she did was lower her head. She realized there was only a

tiny incision, which would be difficult to make out if one did not pay attention to

11.

The shape of her breast remained the same.

Immediately, she let out a sigh under her breath. “Thank goodness it didn’t become smaller!”

The corner of Finnegan’s lips twitched. What a strange train of thought she has. Most people will be

more concerned about whether or not the tumor has been removed, but she’s more worried about the

changes in her body. How peculiar…

Once Lindsey came back to her senses, she quickly spun around to grab a piece of tissue to wipe off

the blood before putting on her clothes again. Only after making sure that no one could see the incision

did she turn to Finnegan and ask, “Am I all right now?”

Finnegan took a small bottle and put the lump in it before handing it to her.

“I’ve removed the source. There are some traces of cancer cells left, but that’s only a minor problem. I’ll

give you a few more acupuncture sessions after this. With traditional medicine treatment accompanying

it, we’ll be able to get rid of everything in a month’s time.”

Lindsey’s face turned red again. “I still need acupuncture sessions? Will it be the same as earlier?”

Finnegan nodded. “Yes. You need three more sessions.”

Lindsey kept her head hanging when she took the bottle containing the lump. Not daring to lift her

head, she said, “I’ll head to the hospital first. You and Rhia wait for me here and we’ll have lunch

together when I’m back.”

Knowing that she was going to check the nature of the tumor, Finnegan said, “Go on. You’ll feel more

at ease after that, and it’ll save me from getting accused of taking advantage of you

100,”

“No, no. I just want to make sure that everything’s fine now.”

“Of course.”

While Lindsey went to check the tumor, Rhiannon was dragging Finnegan, who wanted to leave, to

look at cars in the store.

After seeing the exhibition on the third floor, they went back to the manager’s office.

“Do

you like it? I’ll buy you one,” Finnegan offered when he noticed how bright Rhiannon’s eyes were when

she looked at the cars.

Rhiannon pouted and said, “Who doesn’t like to own a Porsche? But I’m afraid I’ll become a set of

bones before you can gift me one.”

Finnegan chuckled when he heard that. “Don’t look down on me. I’m someone with savings now. In

fact, I can even buy you a mansion, let alone a car. Go on and pick one.”

“You should brag to Ms. Lindsey instead. Do your best in making her my sister-in-law soon

Clearly, Rhiannon thought he was joking, which made Finnegan feel exasperated. It’ll be Rhia’s

birthday in a few days’ time. I should get Lindsey to buy a car for her by then.

Thinking about Lindsey, Lindsey, who had been gone for over two hours. merrily walked into the store

with her medical report. Nowadays, hospitals were swift to generate reports for test results like these.

Rhiannon hastily stood up and asked, “Ms. Lindsey, do you have the results?”

“Your brother is a miracle worker! It really was a malignant tumor. The doctor even said that tumors like

this one are hard to detect and that most people would die before they event noticed them. I’m so

lucky!”

The results were what Finnegan had expected. Rhiannon gasped in astonishment. “Oh god! Is my

brother that impressive now?”

my

She had only said Finnegan was good because she wanted Lindsey to be more impressed with

Finnegan.

After recomposing herself, Lindsey said to Finnegan, “Thank you, Finnegan. What about the treatment

after this?”

Finnegan replied, “You’re Rhia’s friend. I’ll make time to complete the rest of the treatment.”

“Finnegan, can I invite you to dinner? Just you only.”

In a good mood, Lindsey invited the Larkin siblings to lunch near the car dealership. However, before

they went their separate ways, she invited Finnegan to a meal again.

Rhiannon was delighted, and she nudged Finnegan, hinting at him to accept it.

Her invitation meant that she was interested in Finnegan and was willing to give them at chance to

develop feelings for each other.

However, Finnegan was only there for his parents. He was not romantically interested in Lindsey even

if Lindsey was a capable and charming woman.

Furthermore, he had agreed to have dinner at Bernice’s place later on.

Without hesitation, he rejected Lindsey, “I have an appointment tonight.”

Lindsey was disappointed.

It was her first time inviting a man to a meal, but she was rejected.

Unable to bear watching it anymore, Rhiannon chimed in, “Finn, are you dense?”

Everyone can figure out what Lindsey’s thinking about’ He should have taken the opportunity!

Lindsey helped diffuse the awkwardness by saying, “It’s okay, Rhia. I still have treatment

3/4

sessions with your brother, so we have more chances in the future. It’s not a big deal if he can’t make it

to this one. I’ll take my leave, then. Goodbye.”

When Rhiannon saw Lindsey leaving in a crestfällen state, she rolled her eyes at Finnegan. “Finn, do

you know how many guys dream of having dinner with Ms. Lindsey? I can’t believe you rejected her!”

Finnegan lifted his hand to give a tap on Rhiannon’s head. “Stop trying to play matchmaker in the

future. Time to head home.”

While the Larkin siblings were taking the bus home. Tristan’s trusted subordinate brought news to him

at General Hospital.

“Sir, we couldn’t find Finnegan’s tracks after he went to Bellridge five years ago. It’s as if he had

vanished from the surface of the earth in the past five years. But it’s likely that he’s the one behind Mr.

Killian’s current condition. Apparently, the thugs who sought trouble with Finnegan the day before

yesterday developed the same strange symptoms.”

Tristan, who had been in the hospital for two days straight but could not make his son get better, had

bloodshot eyes. He asked, “The strange situation happened to the ones who messed with him?”

His subordinate answered, “Yes. I’ve double-checked this, so maybe Finnegan has learned. some

useful skills.”

After receiving confirmation, Tristan turned to look at Killian, who had just passed out from the pain.

Killian had gone through almost thirty moments of agony. His skin was torn, and bloody marks covered

his entire body.

“So what if he has become more powerful? Those who hurt my son must pay!”
