The Healing Avenger novel Chapter 74

Liam's eyes were filled with rage and embarrassment when he saw Bernice avoiding him on purpose.

He did not expect her to be so blunt in front of everyone.

Queenie reminded, “Bernie, we have been friends with the Sable family for more than twenty years, and you were classmates with Mr. Sable. What's the problem with him calling you Bernie?”

“Oh?” Bernice looked up with a cold expression. “Then why don't you call him Liam? Why doesn't he call you Queenie?”

Queenie was speechless, and her face flushed red.

Bernice didn't care what they thought. She looked at Finnegan gently. “So, don't just call me Bernie, Mr. Sable. My boyfriend will misunderstand us, and I don't want him to feel insecure.”

Finnegan smiled bitterly to himself. Bernice is indeed a little different tonight.

However, he liked her even more when she behaved like that, not for anything else but for the fact that she would not allow another man any other chance when she was already taken. That was because a lot of women didn't have such qualities nowadays.

Liam glanced at Finnegan coldly. He blamed Finnegan for everything.

He snorted and stood up.

Queenie said anxiously, “Mr. Sable, what's wrong?”

Liam composed himself and said, “I suddenly recall that a few people from Regi Group are here to celebrate Old Mr. Zimmerman's birthday. I'll sit with them.” Then, he turned and left.

If he stayed longer, he knew he was going to feel even worse.

Queenie glared at Bernice. “Look at what you've done! Grandpa and Grandma will be furious!”

She glanced at Finnegan disdainfully and sat down.

Bernice didn't seem to care at all. She inched nearer to Finnegan and whispered to him, “Meanie, do you feel very secure now to have a girlfriend like me?”

Finnegan answered in a low voice, “Not really because you're just too pretty. Some people won't give up no matter how many times you reject them. I still think it's better that we get committed soon! Perhaps I'd feel better.”

“You wish!”

Liam saw this scene from afar. His face turned cold and his hands were clenched into fists.

Next to him was a sexy woman, his secretary, Hailey Tabert.

She saw the scene as well and then whispered to Liam, “Mr. Sable, why aren't Old Mr. Zimmerman and the others saying anything about this? It seems that Old Mr. Sable is fine with it too. I thought you were supposed to propose to Ms. Zimmerman tonight.”

Liam glared daggers at Hailey. “Shut up!”

At that moment, he felt as though he was a joke to everyone and everyone was laughing at him.

Bruce and Millicent had mentioned before that Bernice would be his after three months.

However, he was so mad that his face was somewhat contorted. “I will make sure that brat suffers!”

At the same time, a helicopter from Durbaine was slowly descending at a military hospital in Jadeborough.

The leaders, doctors, and nurses of the hospitals had serious looks on their faces.

The helicopter finally landed, and the hatch opened.

A young man strode over.

Reynard was the first to walk forward.

The person who consumed it would live two to three years longer. Even for someone who was about to die, it would help them live a few more days.

The complete formula was currently only understood by a few individuals who could produce a semi-finished product. However, even a semi-finished product cost a lot. Only those big shots from Durbaine would eat that as a last resort.

The price of a semi-finished product was already worth a lot.

Reginald smiled and said on behalf of his grandson, “Indeed, it's the Life Long Pill. Liam acquired them from a mysterious physician a few days ago. There is a total of three pills. He left one for me, and the remaining two are for you to celebrate your birthday. It works out perfectly, with one pill for you and one for your wife!”

Millicent was excited as he said, “Mr. Sable, thank you so much!”

At their age, they had already experienced many things in their life, so what they wanted was to stay healthy and live a long life.

Although the Long Life Pill was a semi-finished product and the effect was greatly reduced, it was still very expensive.

Bruce suppressed his urge to reach for the gift and tried to maintain his composure as he said, “Liam, this item is too precious. I dare not accept it!”

Liam smiled. “Old Mr. Zimmerman, this is just a semi-finished product. After you consume it, it will only prolong your life for about a year. Also, a person can only take this once as it will lose its effect after many times. Just accept it! Consider this a gift of my affection in advance.”

His last sentence seemed to mean something else.

Anyone who was bright enough would understand what he meant.

Bernice frowned. “He's really not giving up!”

Finnegan smirked and whispered into her ear, “Well, you are such a beauty. If he gives up so easily, then doesn't it mean you're not pretty enough?”

Queenie saw how they were so close to each other and had an idea.

“Finnegan, you're Bernie's boyfriend. It's my Grandpa's birthday today. I wonder what you have prepared for him,” she said loudly. “I suppose it must be something even more precious than what Mr. Sable has brought, huh?”
