A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana) Novel novel Chapter 237

Chapter 237 Refusing To Resolve It Peacefully 

At dusk, at the entrance of the city’s police department,

“We’ve received reports of an incident today where an electric bike hit and killed a person, and another incident where a teacher forced a student to jump off a building. Yet, it seems your police department has arrested the deceased’s family and the student’s parents. Is that correct?” 

“May I ask if there’s any particular background to the perpetrators of these two incidents that has led the police department to disregard right from wrong! 

“Why is it that the police department is not pursuing the perpetrator who killed someone in a car accident and that malicious teacher, but instead detaining the victim’s family members?” 

“Can the police department please provide a straightforward answer? Have the deceased’s family and the students’ parents been subjected to personal threats?” 

A swarm of journalists were gathered there, bombarding the police department with questions about Desmond and Quiana’s case. The situation had the police department’s staff at their wits end, leaving them no choice but to keep the reporters outside the door. 

From inside a car in the distance, Romona put down her phone and said with a wry smile, “Commissioner Hawthorne says the media is focusing on these incidents, and both families have hired lawyers to get involved. It’s not convenient to arrange for you to meet them anymore. You’ve seen it yourself. If you get involved with the family under these circumstances, there’s no guarantee the media won’t twist your words and further complicate the situation!” 

Watching those media outlets that seem to relish in escalating matters, listening to their sharp questions, Finnegan let out a sigh of frustration. 

“There really are too many unscrupulous media outlets. They only focus on the fact that the police detained the victim’s family, but deliberately ignore what the victim’s family has done!” 

Romona said. “The news articles won’t sound appealing otherwise. You’ll get used to it.” 

Finnegan said, “I don’t have to meet with the students’ parents or the deceased’s family, just let me see them. I want to know if all this is just a coincidence.” 

Accompanying them, Bernice asked, “Finnegan, do you also feel that someone is setting us up?” 

Upon hearing this, Finnegan looked at Bernice in surprise, “Darling, do you really think so too?” 

After glancing at Romona, Bernice nodded and said, “From what we see now, the evidence is indeed conclusive. That’s definitely an issue with Mr. Larkin and Mrs. Larkin. Considering what happened to Rhia last night, however, I feel this is too much of a coincidence. However, I can’t be sure. After all, the elderly man who was hit by Mrs. Larkin did indeed die, and that student really did fall from the third floor. Surely, no one would risk their family’s lives to frame others, right?” 

Finnegan flashed her a calm smile as he said, “Darling, your thoughts and concerns are the same as mine.” 

He was only able to keep his emotions in check until now because apart from the irrefutable evidence of the two incidents, it was exactly as Bernice said.

He believed that no one would risk their family’s lives just to frame others. 

Bernice asked. “So, what’s your plan?”

Finnegan replied, “First, I would like to meet with the parents of the students and the family of the deceased. If it’s truly because of my parents, I will do everything in my power to help them earn their forgiveness. If there’s more to the story, then I’ll make them pay the price!” 

Finally, under the arrangement of Romona, Finnegan and Bernice entered the police department through the back door to avoid the media. 

They soon arrived at the observation room next to the two interrogation rooms. 

Inside one room were the parents of the student who fell from the building, along with their lawyer. 

The other room contained the two sons and daughter of the deceased, along with their son-in-law and their lawyer. 

Luther greeted Finnegan, “Mr. Larkin!” 

“Sorry for the inconvenience, Commissioner Hawthorne.” 

Finnegan nodded in response, then walked toward the one-way mirror. He stared intently at the parents of the students. 

The student’s mother, unaware of the onlooker next door, repeatedly slapped the table. “Mr. Velazquez, please liaise with the police department immediately. Yes, we did hit someone, but we wouldn’t have done so if that teacher hadn’t driven our son to the brink of jumping off a building!” 

The student’s father grumbled, “Exactly Our son nearly fell to his death, so what’s wrong with us giving that wicked teacher a beating? You better have the police release us quickly. I mean, we’re the parents of the victimized student, and yet, we re the ones who get arrested? Where’s the sense in that?” 

The lawyer calmed them down by saying, “Rest assured, even though you took action first, it’s understandable. I’m confident that I can get you out of this. But are you really not considering filing a claim?” 

The lawyer then reminded them by adding, “If you’re considering a claim. I’m confident I can help you get at least three million in compensation from that teacher and the school!” 

Most importantly, for a claim of three million, he could get ten percent of it as their attorney. 

The parents of the student responded without hesitation, “We don’t want compensation! We just want that teacher to go to jail!” 

Upon hearing this, Finnegan slightly furrowed his brows and tumed to the other side, looking at the four relatives of the deceased who were also in conversation with a lawyer. 

The eldest son of the deceased was particularly agitated. “What should we do now? That woman was severely injured by us, but it was she who killed my mother! What am I expected to do? Just forgive and forget? What would that make me then?” he asked his lawyer. 

The young son of the deceased, along with his daughter and son-in-law, all nodded in agreement from the

The lawyer they hired flashed them a wry smile in response. “I understand your feelings, and I’m confident I can absolve you of any blame. But you just said you don’t want compensation, and that you only want the woman to go to jail. Are you serious about this?” 

The eldest son of the deceased responded, “That’s right! We don’t want any financial compensation. All we want is for that woman to rot in jaill Besides, that woman rides an electric bike everywhere, so how could she possibly afford to pay us?”
