The Healing Avenger novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142 Thoughtful Of Him

Given Mandy’s status and position, she would never casually visit a neighbor like an ordinary person, much less get acquainted with a common housewife like Quiana.

Yet, she had done just that.

Naturally, Finnegan wanted to understand if Mandy harbored any ulterior motives.

Mandy’s eyes darted nervously as she didn’t dare to meet Finnegan’s gaze.

Her goal was simple. Following Howard’s instruction, she needed to do everything in her power to become Finnegan’s significant other.

However, as she couldn’t find any opportunity to interact with Finnegan, she had no choice but to touch with him indirectly through Quiana.

Nevertheless, Mandy didn’t have the courage to tell him the truth.

Finnegan narrowed his eyes. “If you can’t explain yourself, I’d prefer if you don’t show up in front of me or my parents in the future, Ms. Langdon.”

“I’ll tell you!” Afraid of offending him, Mandy quickly came up with an excuse. “It’s my grandpa’s idea.”

Finnegan asked, “Your grandpa?”

“Yes!” She nodded. “Grandpa says you’re a miraculous doctor capable of reviving even the dead and can save him during crucial moments. No amount of wealth is significant if one can’t live long enough

to spend it. Grandpa suggested I build a good rapport with you. But because I’m afraid of disturbing you, I can only come to chat with Mrs. Larkin occasionally.”

After finishing uttering the response in one go, Mandy grew anxious, fearing Finnegan might realize she wasn’t being entirely truthful.

Finnegan sensed she was holding back information.

Nevertheless, knowing she bore.no ill will, he didn’t press further.

Finnegan looked into the distance.

“I noticed there are always people patrolling around Dragon Bay’s No. 1 Villa. Did you make the arrangement?”

Mandy replied, “Grandpa was worried someone might target your family, so he had me assigned our men to protect all of you secretly.”

Finnegan bobbed his head. “I see. That’s thoughtful of him!”

When they moved into Dragon Bay’s No. 1 Villa, he had detected people other than those arranged by Alisha lurking around.

However, he hadn’t given it much thought since they didn’t harbor ill intention. He had merely assumed they were Dragon Bay’s No. 1 Villa’s security guards.

Little did he expect those men to be there on the Langdon family’s instruction.

Noticing Finnegan’s facial expression softening, Mandy felt slightly relieved. “Dr. Larkin, you’re not mad at me, are you?”

“Do you see me as someone that unreasonable?” Finnegan rolled his eyes in annoyance. “Still, it’s fine for you to visit my mom, but be careful with what you tell her. I don’t want them to worry unnecessarily about me.”

Only after ascertaining he wasn’t angry with her did Mandy completely relax.

Finnegan asked, “You mentioned you were afraid I wouldn’t agree to something. What’s the matter?”

Mandy answered cautiously, “There’s an exclusive gathering tonight hosted by Vilmar Royle, the eldest son of Bellridge’s Royle family. I’d like you to accompany me.”

After saying that, she gazed at him apprehensively, her palms sweaty from anxiety.

Finnegan could tell from her keyed-up mien that this was no ordinary gathering.

If it were in the past, he would’ve refused her without hesitation as he wasn’t fond of attending events that weren’t related to him, but at the thought of the Langdon family taking the initiative to arrange their men to safeguard his family, Finnegan pondered briefly and agreed, “Sure!” I don’t have anything else to do anyway, so I’ll just go with her as a way of expressing my gratitude.

They entered Monarch, and Mandy told the hostess their private room number before replying to Finnegan, “I have no choice!”

She was indeed reluctant to attend the gathering, but for people of their stature, they had to make an appearance regardless of their unwillingness.

Otherwise, they would be shunned by members of their social circle, which could, in turn, affect their family.

Besides, many people had called her in advance, making it hard for her to refuse..

Finnegan remarked, “Makes sense.”

Not long after, the hostess led them to the fifth floor and came to a halt before the most extravagant private room in Monarch, Emperor Suite No. 1.

The private room emphasized guest privacy, so they couldn’t just push the door open to enter.

The hostess pressed the intercom to communicate with the staff inside. “Open the door. Two for Emperor Suite No. 1 have arrived.”

Moments later, the door swung open from the inside.

However, the private room, which should’ve been lively, was eerily silent and dark.

The hostess sensibly stepped aside. “Please enter.”

Finnegan focused his spiritual energy on his eyes. After he saw clearly the scene inside the room, the corner of his mouth twitched. What the hell? What are they doing?

Before Finnegan could regain his senses, Mandy strode inward, dragging him along with her arms wrapped around his.

As soon as they were two meters into the room, dazzling bright lights suddenly lit up the initially pitch- black room, and romantic music began to play.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At the same time, five men set off confetti cannons, showering Mandy and Finnegan with small pieces of – colored paper.
