A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana) Novel
Chapter 255

Chapter 255 Bad Times

At a little past eight, after dropping Finnegan off at Jerome Medical Clinic, Alisha mysteriously left after receiving a phone call.

"Finnegan, Shaun hasn't arrived yet, and they're not answering their phones. What's going on?" That day was the grand opening, and Casper, who arrived early at Jerome Medical Clinic, stepped forward to say, "Additionally, Old Mr. Quiroz and his team, as well as the nurses Mr. Magnussen hired a few days ago, have not arrived. We also can't get in touch with them."

Finnegan glanced around. Other than Jerome, Yuliana, and Casper, no one else was in sight.

A smile couldn't help but creep up to the corner of his mouth. "Don't worry. Perhaps they will come soon."

"Master." Jerome walked over and asked, "What happened?"

Clearly, they were unaware of Oswald's declaration the night before.

Finnegan didn't plan to hide it from them at this moment. "Oswald is coming to seek revenge for his son and grandson."

He then roughly explained the situation.

Casper's eyes widened. "So, you're saying Shaun and the others didn't show up today because they're afraid of Oswald? Worried about getting into trouble?" Finnegan chuckled. "Perhaps so."

"Master, what should we do then?" The wrinkles on Jerome's face deepened. "Oswald is a man who can't be controlled by anyone in Nuthana, except for the Wright family. If he really comes today, our grand opening might be..."

Jerome didn't continue speaking after that.

However, his meaning was very clear. Could it possibly be as disastrous as the last time we started a business, or even worse?

Finnegan comforted, "Don't worry, Mr. Magnussen. Whatever happened last time won't happen again today. You and Yuliana should go and get things ready. We don't want our guests to arrive and replace nowhere to sit."

Upon hearing that, Jerome couldn't help but let out a wry smile.

He felt that since Oswald had made the declaration, there would be no customers at Jerome Medical Clinic that day.

At a little past eight, after dropping Finnegan off at Jerome Medical Clinic, Alisha mysteriously left after receiving a phone call.

"Finnegan, Shaun hasn't arrived yet, and they're not answering their phones. What's going on?" That day was the grand opening, and Casper, who arrived early at Jerome Medical Clinic, stepped forward to say, "Additionally, Old Mr. Quiroz and his team, as well as the nurses Mr. Magnussen hired a few days ago, have not arrived. We also can't get in touch with them."

Finnegan glanced around. Other than Jerome. Yuliana, and Casper, no one else was in sight.

A smile couldn't help but creep up to the corner of his mouth. "Don't worry. Perhaps they will come soon."

"Master." Jerome walked over and asked, "What happened?"

Clearly, they were unaware of Oswald's declaration the night before.

Upon hearing that, Jerome couldn't help but let out a wry smile,

He felt that since Oswald had made the declaration, there would be no customers at Jerome Medical Clinic that day.

However, he didn't voice his heartache. Instead, he signaled to Yuliana to go ahead and return first.

Casper scoffed. "That Oswald is truly domineering! But Shaun and his crew are no better, always laughing and joking around, but when it comes to crucial moments, they only know how to save themselves." Finnegan patted Casper on the shoulder and said, "The business hasn't started yet. Perhaps they'll come later? Also, a person's true character is often revealed in times of crisis. This is a good thing!"

Casper gave a bitter smile. “I guess it's just me, Mr. Magnussen, and Ms. Magnussen, who are still your followers in the end."

"Go help Mr. Magnussen and Yuliana first. One is an elderly man, and the other is a young girl. They need some help."

"All right. Call me if you need anything."

Once Casper went in, Finnegan pulled over a lounge chair and sat down at the entrance. He held a palm- leaf fan, waving it back and forth, resembling an elderly man.""

At the same time, he glanced at the wall clock. It's eight twenty-five. There are still thirty-five minutes until the opening. How many people are willing to take a gamble on me today?

Pondering over that question, Finnegan went through all the people he knew in his mind.

The smile on his face gradually became teasing. "I'm suddenly looking forward to it."

Ten minutes passed, and then a few cars drove up to the street corner.

Upon seeing that, Finnegan revealed a smile and stood up.

As the car pulled up close and stopped, he immediately stepped forward to greet them, "Bernie, Mr. Patrick, Ms. Jennifer, welcome!"

The ones who arrived were indeed Bernice and her parents.

As soon as Bernice got out of the car, she grabbed Finnegan's hand, her eyes filled with worry. "Finnegan, are you sure nothing will happen today?"

Even though Finnegan had already spoken about it the day before, Bernice still couldn't help but feel worried

Finnegan raised his hand, intending to pinch Bernice's cheek.

Seeing Patrick and Jennifer right beside him, he restrained himself. "When have I ever lied to you? If I say it's fine, then it's fine."

Turning to Patrick and his wife, he greeted, "Mr. Patrick, Ms. Jennifer, thank you for coming to the opening of my clinic."

Patrick had someone place the flower basket at the door while patting Finnegan's shoulder. "We're family. There's no need for formalities. Your matters are our family's matters." Jennifer smiled and said, "Exactly. When a family faces a problem, we should bear it together. Otherwise,

how could we be-"

Before Jennifer could finish her sentence, several cars suddenly appeared from the front in a rush.

Bernice's face lit up with joy when she saw those cars. "It's Grandpa and the others."

Several cars came to a halt all at once.

Just as Bernice was about to step forward to greet him, Millicent had already crawled out of the car, cursing all the while. "I knew your family of three would show up. You're really getting bolder by the day." Bernice's uncle, Bishop, and his family had also arrived in the other cars. Their faces were not looking very joyful. "Bernice. Finnegan has offended the Farrington family of Martial Arts Alliance. Are you trying to cause trouble for our family?"

"Exactly. Master Farrington has already made it clear. Anyone who befriends Finnegan is an enemy of Martial Arts Alliance. He's forcing us to pick sides!"

"Patrick, what is your family thinking? At a time like this, you should be distancing yourselves from Finnegan, not showing up to support his business opening celebration."

Bernice's expression stiffened, realizing it wasn't as she had thought. "Aren't you here to celebrate the opening of Finnegan's clinic?"

Millicent snorted. "Nonsense. Such a person has never caught my eye. How could I possibly congratul him? I'm here to take you all back. Hurry up and come with me!"

As she spoke, she was about to pull Bernice aside. "Moreover, Finnegan is nothing but a sneaky scoundrel. When he couldn't compete fairly with Mr. Sable, he resorted to underhanded tactics to the point where Mr. Sable's whereabouts were now unknown. You should hurry back and break off your engagement with such a person!"

At this point, Bernice finally understood something.

Millicent was concerned that Bernice's family would cause trouble for the Zimmerman family, so she made a special trip to take them back.

She immediately took a step back to avoid Millicent's hand. "Grandma, you're welcome to attend Finnegan's clinic opening. But if you're asking me to leave with you, it's not going to happen!" "What? How dare you-"

"Enough!" Before Millicent could finish her sentence, Bruce had already stepped out from the other side

of the car.

Millicent thundered, "Hurry up and call your son, daughter-in-law, and your disobedient granddaughter to come with us. What if Master Farrington arrives, and there's a misunderstanding?" Timothy timely added, "Even if Master Farrington doesn't come, it wouldn't be good if the Sable family misunderstands us for being here."

Yet, Bruce's face darkened in an instant. "I came here to attend Finnegan's clinic opening, not to call Patrick and the others back. Stop talking about it!"

Huh? Millicent and the others were taken aback. They had assumed that Bruce had come along to persuade Bernice's family to return.

Finnegan, who had been observing all along, squinted his eyes, a profound glint flashing across them. This old man's mind is starting to broaden!

However, Millicent thought Bruce had lost his mind. "Bruce, the ones Finnegan has offended are the Sable family and Master Farrington. Neither of them are entities we can afford to offend!"

Timothy tried to persuade him, "Grandpa, please don't accept Finnegan just because things are going bad for Mr. Sable. Even without him, we can replace other young heirs. After all-"

Before Timothy could finish his sentence, Finnegan interrupted him with a grin, "Bernie will never choose someone else. You guys should consider whether you want to stand with me!" Pointing toward the street corner, he continued, "After all, it seems like you guys also have a tough future ahead."
