A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana) Novel novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29 Ignorant Fool 

The Langdon family was the richest family in Nuthana. Rather than residing in the hustle and bustle of the city, they chose to build a luxurious mountain villa on the outskirts of the metropolis. 

The mountain villa stretched across fifteen hectares, creating an oasis of color and beauty that resembled a small garden. 

Dozens of members of the Langdon family called this place home, and they had hundreds of servants and b*dyguards at their disposal. 

“Your grandpa had the foresight to provide a refuge for your family, huh?” Finnegan commented. As they pulled into the driveway of the Langdon residence, his gaze swept across the stunning landscape. 

If the Howard Group were to face financial ruin, the Langdon family would still be financially secure as the value of their land had skyrocketed to an amount worth billions. 

must remain vigilant. He purchased that 

Knowing how capable Finnegan was, Mandy made sure to answer him in a respectful manner. “My grandfather always said that nothing lasts forever in this world and that we 

land more than two decades ago with the intention to build a mountain retreat. If need be, we can always sell the land and use the proceeds to help us survive.” 

Finnegan grunted in acknowledgment and closed his eyes. 

He didn’t say anything until the car rolled to a stop before the villa. 

Without hesitation, Mandy hopped out and went to open the door for Finnegan, who was in the 

pa*senger seat. “Mr. Larkin, we’re here. My father and Uncle Benedict aren’t back yet, so they couldn’t welcome you in person.” 

“It’s fine.” 

Finnegan was here to treat Howard, so it was actually better if there were fewer people 

present. 

The moment Finnegan hopped off the car, a scion walked out of the villa. Upon spotting. them, he remarked in surprise, “Mandy, have you finally gotten yourself a boyfriend? What a surprise! He isn’t as handsome as Mr. Vilmar, though.” 

Mandy’s expression changed abruptly. “Shut up, Shaun!” 

This young man was her cousin, Shaun Langdon, who had a tendency to waste his life and spend his days having fun. They rarely met each other. Thus, Mandy only informed her

father, uncle, and elder brother when she learned of Finnegan’s arrival. 

When Mandy departed to pick Finnegan up, she was certainly not expecting to see Shaun there upon her return. 

To make matters worse, he had the nerve to be impolite to Finnegan. 

It was natural for Mandy to panic as she had knelt for an entire day to plead with Finnegan to save her grandfather. 

“This is Dr. Larkin. He is here to treat Grandpa. 

“He’s the miracle doctor?” Shaun snorted icily. “You must be kidding! He looks so young, so there’s no way he could be a miracle doctor. He’s obviously your toy boy, but I guess you don’t want to admit it.” 

Mandy noticed Finnegan was frowning, so she immediately took action by slapping Shaun. “B”stard! This is Mr. Larkin. I got on my knees and begged him to come here. You need to apologize to him now!” 

Shaun knew Mandy had asked a doctor to treat their grandfather, and he knew who the doctor was. 

However, he could not bring himself to believe that Finnegan was the doctor he had been. expecting, as the man seemed too youthful to be a doctor. Without hesitation, he retorted. loudly, “Mandy, this can’t possibly be the doctor! I know that you’re scared I’ll inform Mr. Vilmar of the fact that you’ve been seeing someone else and that he’ll take some kind of revenge on this man.” 

Oh, dear. Why is my cousin this stupid? Does he seriously think I have the guts to hire someone to pose as Mischievous Doctor? 

From afar, dozens of cars could be seen in the distance, winding their way along the road. 

Shaun immediately grew excited. “Uncle Abraham and my dad is back. How are you going to explain this to them? I can’t believe you had the nerve to pull something like this off!” he exclaimed incredulously, holding his cheek. 

Mandy’s anxiousness was rapidly mounting as she witnessed her cousin’s foolishness. “Dr. Larkin, I…” 

Finnegan was unfazed. “It’s fine.” 

Soon, the cars rolled to a stop. Two middle-aged men around the same age hopped out of the car without waiting for their b*dyguards to open the door for them. 

Mandy’s father was Abraham Langdon, the current chairman of Howard Group. He ran over

and demanded, “Mandy, where is Dr. Larkin?” 

Shaun, who was about to voice his discontentment, suddenly went rigid, his words of complaint dying on his l*ps. 

Sh*t! Don’t tell me she’s telling the truth. 

Mandy replied, “Dad, this is Dr. Larkin.” 

Abraham was utterly taken aback when his gaze settled on Finnegan, who appeared to be too young to be the Mischievous Doctor he had been expecting. He had envisioned someone much older. 

However, he quickly regained his composure and greeted, “Dr. Larkin, you’re finally here.” He then turned to Mandy and chided, “Why didn’t you bring Dr. Larkin inside?” 

A smile nudged Finnegan’s l*ps as he answered, “Mr. Langdon, I can a*sure you that Ms. Langdon has been nothing but polite to me. However, this young man a*sumed I was an imposter, preventing Ms. Langdon from inviting me to enter the house. I guess I’ll have to visit another day.” 

Finnegan’s tone grew increasingly colder as he spoke. 

Abraham’s face drained of color as he spun around to deliver a powerful slap to Shaun’s face even though Shaun’s father, Benedict Langdon, was standing beside him. 

“B*stard! Kneel down and apologize to Dr. Larkin!” 

If Finnegan were to fly into a rage and leave in a huff, Abraham’s father, Howard, wouldn’t have long to live. 

Despite his foolish nature, Shaun was now fully aware of his mistake in doubting Finnegan’s identity. 

He quickly got to his knees. “Dr. Larkin, I apologize for not recognizing you. Please forgive my ignorance.” 

Abraham chimed in carefully, “Dr. Larkin, you’re welcomed to teach him a lesson in whatever way pleases you.” 

“Well, it’s nothing serious.” Finnegan strode into the mansion without looking back. “A rich scion like him ought to be beaten up and made to kneel for a few hours. That’s all.” 

Abraham’s l*ps twitched as he gave Benedict a pointed look. 

Benedict instantly understood his signal. Once everyone had made their way into the house. he gave Shaun a severe beating until his son pleaded for mercy.

“Dr. Larkin, you’re finally here.” 

Finnegan finally saw Howard in a room that was equipped with all of the necessary medical equipment. The elderly man was so drastically thin that he was dependent upon a ventilator and IV drip to stay alive. However, he didn’t forget to greet Finnegan weakly. 

Finnegan gave him a cold look. “Who told you to direct Ms. Langdon to search for me?”
