A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 128 No Touching

Finnegan didn’t do anything to Bernice because he knew that she was still a very conservative woman.

He merely pulled Bernice to his side and draped a blanket over their bodies.

Bernice blushed. It was her first time lying next to a man like that. “Are you sure you won’t do anything. Finnegan?”

Finnegan pinched her cheek. “Will you be angry if I can’t hold myself back?”

“I will!” Bernice moved Finnegan’s hand away and lay in his embrace. “Because I want to save for our wedding ni If

we do it before that, I’ll be disappointed that I can’t save the best for that at least until the of our engagement.”

Silly girl. Finnegan hugged her tightly. “Don’t worry. Everything you fantasize about is what I strive for. I’ll obey your

every command!”

“You’re that obedient? Then… can I ask you a few questions?”

Finnegan gently sniffed the fragrance of Bernice’s hair. “Ask away!

Bernice looked up at him. “You guessed Solomon’s identity a long time ago, didn’t you? And you intentionally left

Cin behind. I bet you were the one who invited Ms. Wahlstrom, too.”

Shock flashed past Finnegan’s eyes.

I didn’t expect her to be that smart.

Still, he didn’t directly answer her. “And?”

Bernice put her hand on his chest. “You’ve known Ms. Wahlstrom for a long time, and you knew that nothing would

happen tonight. However, Cin is my best friend, and you knew I was having a difficult time being stuck between you

two. So, you attempted to use the opportunity to improve her perception of you so she wouldn’t pick on you all the

time. After that, you stopped me and told Liam to solve the problem because you wanted Cin to witness his true

nature. You knew that Liam couldn’t deal with Solomon! Then, when and I were panicking, you stepped forward and

You killed three birds with one stone. Am I right?” He dealt with Solomon. panched Liam, and imprd Cindy’s

impression of him! He’s so cunning.

Fegan smiled and tapped Bernice’s nose. “How did you know that Ms. Wallstrom and I know each other, Darling?”

Bernice frowned and pushed his hand away. “When Ms. Wahlstrom was talking to us. I noticed the way she looked

at you was different. It didn’t seem like she was staring at a stranger. Also, when you said that a dog that couldn’t

be controlled should be killed, Ms. Wahlstrom was smiling resignedly at you. It was as though she knew there was

nothing she could do about you. By piecing all these observations together and the fact that you didn’t serin

worried that Solomon would retaliate, the only conclusion I can come to is that you’re already friends with Ms.

Wahlstrom.”

What a detailed analysis. This has definitely deepened my understanding of her “Is that why you want to stay at a

hotel after splitting up with Cindy? Because you want to see if your hypothesis is true?”

Bernice nodded. “That’s right. Are you going to explain your relationship with Ms. Wahlstrom?”

Finnegan had planned to reveal the truth to Bernice slowly.

Seeing that she had already figured everything out, he saw no reason to keep hiding the facts. Mr. Wahlstrom.”

Bernice nodded in understanding and didn’t ask any further questions because that answer was enough for

her.

Still, when she thought about his performance recently, she was a little curious. “What did you exper during those

five years. Finnegan? Why do I feel like I can’t understand you anymore?”

Past events flashed her mind. First, the Miles family had lent Dragon Bay’s No. 1 Villa to Fcgan. They had even gif

him a membership card that allowed him to access all businesses under lie banner of Miles Group for tree.

Second, the Haimowitz family had recruited Rhiannon into Pentariver Group before she graduated from university.

It was a rare exception. Not only that, they had even made Rhiannon Wynter’s “retary.

Third, Alexander had stood his ground and appointed Finnegan as General Hospital’s pecial consultant.

Fourth, Jerome had transferred Jerome Medical Clinic to Finnegan and asked the latter to be his master.

Finally, even the head of Walund’s underground, the Wahlstrom family, owed Finnegan a favor.

All that stirred Bernice’s curiosity and made him feel uneasy.

Holding Bernice tight, Finnegan said honestly, “Indeed, I’m hiding some things from you, Darling. However, it’s not

because I want to, it’s because now isn’t the right time. When the time is it, I’ll be sure to tell you everything.”

He was worried if he revealed everything to Bernice, it might bother her.

After all, misfortune might befall her if she knew too much.

Seeing Bernice frown, Finnegan smiled bitterly. “I can tell you a little bit, I guess. No, I Villa in Dragon Bay isn’t let

me, but it’s a gift from the Miles family. My parents couldn’t accept it, so I lied.”

Berre narrowed her eyes. His mother and I thought it was only a temporary loan when chatted about this on the

one After all, that place cost at least a billion!

Soon, the calmed back down and wrapped her arms around Finnegan tight! “I understand. You believe that if we’re

privy to certain information, it’ll only cause everyone trouble and that it’s best to keep everyone in the dark.”

“You’re so smart, Darling!”

Bernice nodded, her eyes growing misty.

“Then I won’t ask anymore. I’ll wait until you’re willing to share your secrets with me. But…” Seemingly

embarrassed but also angry, she confronted, “I don’t think you should be doing that with your hand. You promised

not to touch me!”

touchy, she com

At some point, Finnegan had stuck his hand into her bathrobe and started touching her private parts.

Finnegan inched closer to her and said, “My interpretation of no touching is not getting to home base.”

“You jerk!”

At that moment, it was past midnight.

Solomon received three bags of IV drips and his injuries were bandaged before he exited the hospital.

When he entered a black Bently, he noticed a slender, aloof woman in black attire inside.

He was taken aback her appearance. “Aunt Elsa!”

Elsa Zymons was

h’s cousin and Solomon’s aunt.

Elsa looked at him and suddenly slapped him, hitting the injury on his head.

Solomon groaned in pain. “What did you hit me for?”

“The confrontation between the Wahlstrom family and the Zymons family is in four d decided to cause a mess at

such a crucial moment! Not only that, you messed with se Wahlstrom family. Do you have a loose screw in your

head?”

Solomon rapidly composed himself. “Someone related to the Wahlstrom family? Who?”

“Finnegan Larkin!”

Yet, you une related to the

Finnegan’s figure flashed past Solomon’s mind. “Isn’t he only friends with Zephyr from the Haimowitz family?”

Elsa slapped Solomon again. “He has relations with the Langdon family, the Wahlson family, the Haimowitz family,

and the Miles family! Tyrone personally told me about this after the incident, you fool!”

Solomon frowned. “What’s going on?”

Elsa g had

at him and told him what she had learned from Tyrone. She even told him about how Alisha ned her on the phone.

n’t believe you didn’t know what you were doing. Do you think you’re the son of the Wright family?”

Solomon scoffed. “He’s just a small-time doctor. And here I thought he’s an edible guy!”

“Shut your mouth!” Elsa roared. “In any case, that’s it for this matter. You need to take responsibility for it.

“I will,” answered Solomon, but he still didn’t take his aunt’s words seriously ho would go against me for an

insignificant doctor?
