Chapter 85 Is Your Sister Sick
Bernice had been thinking about that question all night. She invited Finnegan out for lunch. just to ask
him about it. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Finnegan froze.
I didn’t think Bernice would be so thoughtful as to ask me about that. Most people wouldn’t even think
of it at all. Still, can I really tell her the truth? Sawyer had specifically warned me not to reveal too much
about myself after leaving the mountain, and that applies to my parents as well. This has nothing to do
with trust, though. It’s simply because of how complicated this world is. While revealing too much can
get me lots of attention, it could also bring lots of trouble to me and those around me.
Bernice felt a little upset when she saw Finnegan go quiet all of a sudden. “You don’t have to tell me if
you don’t feel comfortable talking about it. I just need to know that you’re loyal to me. You are loyal to
me, right?” she said with a forced smile.
Noticing the change in Bernice’s expression, Finnegan held her hand tightly and said, “As you know, I
am a doctor, and people tend to come to me for treatment. Remember how the Miles family
approached me after they found out that I cured you?”
“You mean Mr. Wright approached you to have you treat Ms. Wright?”
Huh? Is there a member of the Wright family whom they’re struggling to find treatment for?
Finnegan, who was struggling to come up with a lie, felt delighted when he heard what Bernice said.
“That’s right! Mr. Wright found out about me through the Haimowitz and Miles. families, so he asked me
to go treat Ms. Wright. However, I didn’t have enough time to carry out the treatment last night, so I
decided to head over today afternoon instead,” he replied. with a nod.
Phew! This should be able to clear Bernice’s doubts and suspicions, right?
Sure enough, Bernice felt a lot better after hearing that. “Oh, I see. And here I thought you secretly
achieved huge success over the years or something. Ms. Wright’s condition is very complicated,
though. Even the top ten doctors in Loang couldn’t do anything about it, so you’d better not mess
around if you’re not confident about it. She is the apple of Old Mr. Wright’s eye, after all.”
Finnegan had no idea what Ms. Wright’s condition was, so he could only try his best to go. with the
flow. “Don’t worry; I won’t try anything I’m not confident in. I’m just curious. Would it make you feel
upset if I really did achieve huge success?”
“Of course! If you achieved success but chose to keep it a secret from me, then I would surely question
if you truly like me!” Bernice replied.
The corner of Finnegan’s l*ps twitched slightly when he heard that.
Would she blame me for not trusting her if she someday finds out that I’ve been keeping a lot of secrets
from her? But I’m the Mischievous Doctor, whom even the most powerful individuals in the world would
try to butter up! Can I really tell her about that?
Bernice frowned slightly when she saw Finnegan go silent again. “You’re not actually keeping secrets
from me, are you?”
Finnegan quickly snapped out of it and said with a smile, “In fact, I do have a secret that I’m keeping
from you. The truth is, I’m planning on marrying you as soon as possible before someone else steals
you from me, and the best way to do that is to get you pregnant.”
Bernice had no idea that Finnegan was simply trying to change the topic.
“You pervert! Don’t even think about doing it until after our engagement!” she exclaimed
with her face all red.
Finnegan let out a silent sigh when he saw how shy she was.
Oh well… I guess I’ll just go with the flow and see how things go from here…
Bernice went back to the office after lunch while Finnegan called Alisha and had her drive him to the
military hospital.
As Alisha was always on standby, she arrived in less than twenty minutes. Her revealing outfit. and the
Ferrari she showed up in attracted the attention of all the men in the vicinity almost instantly.
“Can’t you
dress a little more modestly? Do you always have to wear such revealing clothes?” Finnegan asked as
he opened the door and got into the car. “Also, can you change a car?”
As Finnegan preferred to maintain a low profile, he didn’t like how she always made them the center of
attention whenever she picked him
1.
“I can pick you up with a different car, but my outfit of choice is part of my personality, so I can’t really
change the way I dress. Besides… How else would I seduce you?” Alisha replied. with a flirtatious gaze
while giving her short skirt a little tug-
Finnegan cleared his throat and averted his gaze as he said, “Take me to the military hospital. After
that, help me find out the status of Firebird Group’s food and beverages, alcohol, and pharmaceutical
industries.
Although Bernice didn’t ask for his help. Finnegan couldn’t bring himself to just sit by and do nothing
Alisha’s eyes ht up as she suddenly thought of something and asked, “I heard that Bernice
publicly declared you’re her boyfriend last night, Finnegan. Is that true?”
“Yup! I’m taken, so please behave yourself from now on.”
“That’s fine; I don’t mind sharing!”
Finnegan’s eyelid twitched slightly, and he decided to keep his mouth shut after that.
This woman is way too seductive! If I continue this conversation, I might just succumb to her
temptation!
Upon arrival at the military hospital, Finnegan went straight to the building Jeremy was in.
“Dr. Larkin!” Stephen and Jace greeted him the moment he arrived at the main entrance.
Finnegan nodded at them in response before making his way into the building.
He paused in his tracks at the door and turned around as he asked, “Mr. Wright, is your sister suffering
from some sort of disease?”
Since he had told Bernice that Stephen requested him to treat his sister, he needed to at least put up
an act to make it convincing.
The Wright family is the true leader of Nuthana, so they will approach me sooner or later after finding
out about my identity anyway. As such, it’s better if I take the initiative and approach them first.
Stephen, who was wondering how he could bring that up, froze in shock for a few seconds.
“She’s actually my cousin, Waylynn Wright. It’s not a disease that she has, though. She was severely
injured five years ago, so I was wondering if you could take a look at her afterward, Dr. Larkin,” he
replied with a nod.
The Wright family is incredibly powerful, and yet, even they haven’t found someone to successfully
treat her injuries? Now I see why Bernice said her condition is a little complicated…
“Sure thing. I’ll head over to the Wright residence tomorrow and pay Old Mr. Wright a visit while I’m at
it,” Finnegan replied.
Stephen’s face lit up with joy when he heard that. “That’s great! I’ll tell Grandpa that you’ll be coming
over tomorrow!”
After ending that conversation, Finnegan continued walking and finally arrived at Jeremy’s
ward.
The elderly man, who had contributed a lot to the country over the years, was still in a coma.
Humphrey, who had been staying by his side the whole time, greeted Finnegan respectfully,
“Master!”
“Where’s Rey?” Finnegan asked.
“General Reynard headed out to take care of some business. He will most likely come back at night.”
Finnegan nodded and whipped out the Long Life Pill that he had formulated last night.. “Make sure to
feed Old Mr. Samson this Long Life Pill. You won’t need water for this, so all you have to do is stuff this
pill into his mouth.”
Humphrey’s expression grew solemn all of a sudden, and he stood up straight as he reached. both
hands out to receive the Long Life Pill, which looked somewhat ugly.
“Is this what a completed Long Life Pill looks like? It packs a really strong herbal aroma!”
“Hurry up
and feed it to Old Mr. Samson. I’ll give you one as well when I can next time,” Finnegan replied with a
chuckle.
“Thank you so much, Master!”
To live a long life was something everyone wanted, and Humphrey was no exception.
He then quickly walked up to Jeremy and carefully fed him the Long Life Pill.
The pill melted as soon as it entered Jeremy’s mouth and went down his throat smoothly.
Finnegan whipped out a golden needle and said, “Old Mr. Samson won’t be able to absorb the pill’s
effects that well while unconscious, so I’ll perform acupuncture on him to help. speed up the absorption
rate.”
He then inserted nine golden needles into Jeremy’s b*dy and watched the Long Life Pill do its work.
Thirty seconds later, Humphrey, who had kept his gaze fixated on Jeremy the whole time for fear of
missing out on any details, exclaimed in shock, “This is a miracle!”
