A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana) Novel novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60 Unwilling To Rely On You 

As astute as Winston was, he instantaneously fathomed Finnegan’s intention. 

He chirped. “Ms. Larkin, I’m truly sorry. After being informed of the circumstances, I dismissed all the employees involved in this matter. They left not long ago.” 

Larry and the others’ subsequent deaths were considered nothing more than an “accident.” 

Only then did Rhiannon notice Winston and the others. 

She recomposed herself and hurriedly got to her feet. “Good day, Old Mr. Haimowitz!” 

The Larkin family was an ordinary household, and she was just a third-year university student. Hence, Rhiannon had never met with an esteemed figure of society like Winston. 

“You’re being too polite, Ms. Larkin.” 

Finnegan got up and patted Rhiannon’s shoulder. “Dexter and the others have paid the price. Let’s go. I’ll figure out a solution for your internship.” 

He was actually quite reluctant to let his sister work for others. 

However, Rhiannon sounded Winston out, “Old Mr. Haimowitz, in that case, may I continue. my internship here at Pentariver Group?” 

Pentariver Group was one of the top ten corporations in Jadeborough, so it would be highly beneficial to her career following her graduation in one year if she could work as an intern there. 

Finnegan arched his brow and hesitated to speak. 

Sensing Finnegan’s silence, Winston was overjoyed. He immediately uttered, “My company’s employees nearly harmed you, Ms. Larkin. To express my deepest apologies, you’re most certainly welcome to join Pentariver Group and can even be directly promoted to a full-time. position.” 

“Really?” 

Rhiannon, an innocent girl, was enraptured. 

Winston nodded. “If you’re willing to accept my proffer, I’ll arrange for you to work as my granddaughter, Wynter’s secretary. What do you think?” 

Initially, he wanted Rhiannon to take up the position of Felix’s secretary. However, since Finnegan had seen through his plan, Winston didn’t dare to suggest the venture.

Barely able to contain her excitement, Rhiannon turned to gaze at Finnegan. “Finn: 

He stroked her smooth hair. “Have you made up your mind?” 

Rhiannon was no longer a child. If she were truly interested, Finnegan wouldn’t mind. supporting her decision. 

She bobbed her head. “Pentariver Group is an established corporation. I’m confident working here will greatly benefit my future career.” 

Comprehending his little sister’s sincere wish. Finnegan said, “All right, then. You don’t have any working experience anyway, so you can learn under Ms. Haimowitz’s tutelage for now.” 

Her speech also served as a reminder to members of the Haimowitz family, cueing them to bear in mind Rhiannon would start working at Pentariver Group for the sole purpose of learning and gaining exposure. 

Winston, a shrewd man, was able to grasp the implicit message. Still, he didn’t mind as long as she was inclined to join Pentariver Group. “In that case, I shall represent Pentariver Group to welcome you, Ms. Larkin. You may start work officially tomorrow and directly report duty to Wynter.” 

“Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Old Mr. Haimowitz.” 

Finnegan didn’t extend his stay and left with Rhiannon shortly after. 

Winston inexplicably relaxed following Finnegan and Rhiannon’s departure. He sat down with Wynter’s a*sistance. 

The usually reticent Felix piped up in bafflement, “Grandpa, is this really necessary?” 

Pentariver Group’s staff was indeed the culprit of that incident. Still, Felix thought Winston didn’t need to be so nervous and uneasy around Finnegan. 

“What do you know?” Winston glared at his grandson. “Do you think he’s just a capable doctor adept at fighting?” 

Felix replied with a frown, “Perhaps he managed to cure a few people, but do you have to accommodate him to this extent?” 

Winston sighed before answering. “You should learn from your father whenever you’re free. Appearance can be deceiving. Mr. Larkin is not as simple and superficial as we think. He’s not just a doctor with exceptional medical skills.” At that point, Winston’s facial expression turned somber, and he lowered his voice. “He’s also someone with very extensive and powerful connections. You’ll know what I mean in the future.” 

After being informed of Wynter’s inexhaustive investigation, Winston personally hired

someone to inquire secretly into Finnegan’s background. 

Although he failed to find out Finnegan’s whereabouts in the past five years, he discovered that aside from the Haimowitz family, Jadeborough’s Miles and Zimmerman families also youched for Finnegan when the latter was detained two days ago. 

Secondly, a friend of his, working in the government department, told him the wealthiest clan of Nuthana, the Langdon family, and the most formidable faction of Walund’s underground circles, the Wahlstrom family, also covertly threw their weights behind Finnegan. 

Finnegan’s peerless medical skills and hidden connections rendered Winston unable not to revere him. 

Nevertheless, it still wasn’t the right time for him to divulge that information to Felix and the others. 

Naive but not insensible, Rhiannon asked Finnegan curiously on their way to the hotel where their parents were staying, “Finn, why do I feel that Old Mr. Haimowitz is very courteous toward you?” 

He knew she must’ve figured something out, so he didn’t plan on keeping her entirely in the dark. “Old Mr. Haimowitz was ill, and I treated him previously.” 

Rhiannon pouted after hearing that. “Does that mean I was able to be converted into a full- time employee and become Ms. Haimowitz’s secretary partly because of you?” 

Perceiving her disappointment, Finnegan asked with a smile. “Isn’t it a good thing to get to rely on your elder brother?” 

“But I can’t depend on you for the rest of my life, right?” 

“If that’s your wish, I don’t mind caring for you for the rest of your life.” 

“I don’t want that. Ms. Zimmerman and Ms. Lindsey always told me women are the most charming when independent. Therefore, I aspire to be like them. I want to grow up to be a self-sufficient woman who doesn’t need to rely on anyone else!” 

Taking in her serious demeanor, Finnegan was glad he didn’t stop her earlier. 

Otherwise, Rhiannon would certainly feel upset even though she refrained from expressing her feelings. 

After a brief ponderation, he asked, “Rhia, if I tell you I can afford to take care of you for the rest of your life and let you indulge in all the luxuries you want even if you don’t work, will you still want to pursue a career?”
