The Healing Avenger novel Chapter 217

Chapter 217 Think About Me

“Finnegan!”

Bernice saw Finnegan in the backyard of Jerome Medical Clinic and immediately rushed into his arms, holding him tightly.

Casper and the others tactfully excused themselves.

Finnegan gently patted Bernice’s back. “Darling, what’s wrong?”

Bernice lifted her head, forcing a smile. “It’s nothing, I just suddenly missed you.”

She preferred to shoulder these troubles alone.

Little did she know Hailey had already informed Finnegan.

However, Finnegan didn’t mention that he already knew.

His face turned slightly cold when he saw the red mark on her cheek. “Who hit you?”

Bernice covered her face. “It’s nothing. I’m just having a bit of an allergic reaction today.”

“Is it your grandmother?”

In the entire Zimmerman family, apart from Millicent, no one else would dare to lay a hand on Bernice.

Bernice shook her head. “No, it’s just an allergy, really.”

Finnegan knew that Bernice was worried about him being displeased with Millicent and the others.

He let out a sigh and didn’t ask any further. He led Bernice to sit down beside him and said, “Darling, even though we are not married yet, in my heart, you are already my woman. If you ever feel aggrieved, you must tell me, understand?”

Bernice simply responded with a hum.

Finnegan felt helpless but didn’t dwell on it. “Let’s eat together later, then.”

Anyway, since I already know what’s going on, it doesn’t matter if Bernice doesn’t say it.

Bernice shook her head. “I came over because I missed you. I have to go back to the office and work late tonight.”

As she spoke, she leaned into Finnegan’s embrace, seeking temporary comfort.

Finnegan tenderly stroked her hair, falling silent.

His fondness for the Zimmerman family and Liam had already diminished even further.

Indeed, Bernice had come just to stay for a while.

After recollecting herself, she stood up. “I’ll be going, then. Don’t forget to think about me.”

Finnegan stood up and pulled her into his arms, gently kissing her red lips. “Remember what I said, when you just can’t carry on, tell me. You have a man you can rely on. You are not alone!”

“All right, Hubby!”

Bernice pushed Finnegan away shyly and turned to leave.

By the time Finnegan came to his senses, only the faint fragrance of the woman lingered in the air.

“Hubby? Did she just call me Hubby?”

After making sure he had heard correctly, Finnegan picked up his phone. “Then I must live up to this title.”

Bernice didn’t want to tell him and worry him, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t do anything at all.

Evening arrived in no time.

Jerome and Yuliana, along with Zephyr, all left ahead of time.

Only Finnegan was left in the quiet Jerome Medical Clinic.

Alisha sashayed in, passed through the front hall to the backyard, and naturally sat down next to Finnegan. “Darling, do you feel that Dragon Bay No. 1 Villa is too quiet now, and you don’t want to go back? If that’s the case, I could move in and live with you, you know.” noveldrama

Finnegan lifted his eyes slightly. “Go get some takeout. I’m hungry.”

Alisha’s red lips moved slightly.

“You jerk, you really treat me like a maid. But even maids in ancient times could receive their master’s favor, yet you never favor me, not even once. You’re too mean!”

Despite saying that, she still stood up to get some food for Finnegan.

“Who are you?”

Just as she turned around, she saw a woman walk in. She was wearing a hat and a mask, and her figure was

sexy.

It seems that people like Liam are not the type to let go of their grudges.

Knowing too much about my background will only make him hide deeper, and his plans more intricate.

Then he will wait to deliver the final blow.

Finnegan certainly didn’t want to face this situation.

Hailey asked, “Mr. Larkin, what should I do next? I have a feeling he won’t be behaving himself while waiting for the Zimmerman family’s response in these seven days.”

“Do this.”

Finnegan beckoned her to come closer, then whispered instructions into her ear.

He patted her shoulder. “Regardless of the outcome, once this is over, I promise you a lifetime of wealth and power!”

“Understood. I’ll be going first, then.”

Hailey left with a heart full of sympathy for Liam.

Before long, Alisha returned, bringing Finnegan a packed mushroom soup and spaghetti.

Finnegan didn’t have any particular demands when it came to food. He took it, opened it, and began to eat heartily.

Alisha stretched lazily. “Darling, that seemed to be Hailey, Liam’s secretary. When did you two become acquainted?”

Alisha really didn’t know about this matter.

Finnegan took a sip of mushroom soup and said, “Well, it all started when my mom gave birth to a handsome son like me.”

Finnegan is about to start spouting nonsense.

Alisha snorted, changing the subject. “Enough of that. What should we do about Liam? It seems that the fifteen-day lesson didn’t make him realize his mistakes. Instead, he’s become even more relentless.”

“Can he be killed?”

Alisha’s eyelids twitched nervously. She was caught off guard by Finnegan’s sudden question. “The Sable family, to which Liam belongs, is the third most influential family in Jadeborough. They even rank within the top ten in Nuthana. Killing him would have significant repercussions.”

Finnegan chuckled. “Don’t be so nervous. I didn’t say I was going to kill him. But if Vilmar can die, he’s not really a big deal, is he?”

“I just hope he stops making foolish mistakes!”
