After leaving the restaurant, Finnegan didn’t return to the hospital but went to a nearby small park. 

He walked straight into a dense grove of trees and said, “Come out!” 

A figure darted out from the dark thicket. 

Wrapped in a black robe, the face of the person couldn’t be seen, but it was evident from the sturdy build that it was a man. 

Finnegan knew exactly who it was. “You’ve been notified for days and only now you show up. It seems like you don’t take me seriously. Aren’t you afraid that Oswald will be released early and ruin everything?” 

“It’s just that my master just delivered the goods to me. Please forgive me, Mr. Larkin.” 

The person in the black robe knelt in front of Finnegan, speaking respectfully. 

A playful smirk tugged at the corner of Finnegan’s mouth. “So what you’re saying is, I shouldn’t blame you, but rather your master for delivering the item late?” 

The man in the black robe bowed his head. “I dare not!” 

“Fine. Give me the goods, and you can leave.” 

The person in the black robe lifted both hands, presenting a small, black-cloth-wrapped object, about the size of a palm, to Finnegan. 

Finnegan took it and tucked it into his pocket without opening it. “Get up and get lost!” 

The person in the black robe stood up. “Mr. Larkin, my master also wanted me to ask you something. I can deal with Oswald. Why do you want to deal with him personally?” 

Finnegan waved his hand and returned the way he came. “Tell your master not to meddle in my affairs. He doesn’t need to concern himself with my business.” 

“Yes!” 

Following the curt response, the figure in the black robe turned and disappeared into the darkness, as if he had never appeared. 

Finnegan seemed unperturbed, leisurely returning to the hospital as if nothing had happened. 

However, upon reaching the entrance of the inpatient building, he encountered a displeased Romona. 

“Finnegan, do you lack manners, or do you find me undesirable? It’s fine if you don’t want to pay the bill, but why run off so quickly?” Romona complained. 

Finnegan’s lips twitched, genuinely helpless with Romona’s attitude. 

Trying to explain, he cleared his throat and explained, I suddenly had a stomachache. How much was my share of the bill? I’ll transfer it to you.”

Romona widened her eyes. “What are you saying? Are you dense?” 

At a time like this, a regular guy would typically go out of his way to maintain his image. 

However, Finnegan not only made up a lame excuse but also proposed to split the cost. 

Does he seriously think I am after him for money?

Finnegan was about to speak when a call came in. It was from the ward where Quiana was hospitalized. 

Thinking something might be wrong, Finnegan quickly answered. It turned out that Quiana had awakened. 

“My mom woke up. We’ll talk later.” 

“Perfect, there are some things I need to ask your mother. These past few days, the deceased’s family has been causing quite a stir, demanding results from the police department.” 

Finnegan furrowed his brow. “It seems they won’t rest until they see my mother behind bars. You can go and talk to her but don’t mention what happened to my father. We don’t want to affect her recovery!” 

Afterward, the two went to Quiana’s ward together. 

Although she had just woken up, with Finnegan’s care and treatment over the past few days, Quiana was in good spirits. 

However, she looked a bit anxious. “Finny, did I really kill someone? Are those family members really going to beat me to death?” 

Seeing his mother like this, Finnegan felt bad for her and consoled, “Mom, it’s nothing. Let Captain Quickwood explain.” 

Quiana wouldn’t believe him entirely, so it would be better for Romona to explain. 

Understanding the situation, Romona stepped forward and sat down. “Mrs. Larkin, although that old lady died, it was a completely unexpected accident. No one knew she had scissors in her basket, and it happened to stab her in the waist. Don’t get stressed out over that!” 

Then, Romona explained to Quiana the general situation and the corresponding penalties for such actions. 

After asking about the specifics of the situation at the time, she left the ward to give space to the mother 

and son. 

After hearing Romona’s words, Quiana felt her mood improving slightly, but she still felt uneasy. “Even though you say that, I can’t get over the fact that I hit someone. Finny, if I end up in jail, you have to take care of your dad and Rhia, understand?” 

Finnegan comforted, “Mom, don’t worry. I will actively communicate with the family of the deceased, offer them additional compensation, and strive to get their letter of forgiveness. I won’t let you go to jail!” “Do your best, but don’t force it.” Quiana felt downcast. “Also, your dad and Rhia must be worried, right?” Having already prepared his response, Finnegan replied, “Rhia is on a business trip with Ms. Haimowitz

and currently doesn’t know about your situation. I haven’t told her yet. As for my dad, I haven’t mentioned your situation either. I just said you wanted to go back to Dragon Bay for a few days, so I brought you back.” 

Of course, Finnegan wasn’t deliberately trying to conceal the truth. 

He couldn’t hide it, but as long as they didn’t know during their hospitalization, it would suffice. 

Quiana nodded, unaware that Desmond was also hospitalized, and Rhiannon was detained at the police station. “You did the right thing. Don’t let them know for now. Otherwise, they will definitely worry and won’t be able to focus on their tasks!” 

Sighing inwardly, Finnegan skillfully changed the topic and engaged in casual conversation with Quiana. 

However, Quiana had not fully recovered, and after chatting for a while, she got exhausted and lay down. 

Finnegan waited for her to fall asleep before leaving the ward. 

Romona, who hadn’t left yet, pouted and said, “Why do I get the feeling that you’re in a tough spot? You have to keep secrets from your dad, your mom, and even your sister.” 

Finnegan asked, “What else can I do? Let them worry about each other, and then put on a worried face?” 

“You jerk, can’t you talk nicely?” 

“Clearly, I can’t!”
