A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 20 Let Him Recover On His Own

“You claimed you are able to extract the shrapnel, but now you are refusing to perform brain. surgery on Mr. Miles. Are you attempting to deceive them?” Oliver demanded excitedly as though he had gotten something on Finnegan.

Alexander frowned as it occurred to him that Oliver was being too petty.

Alisha had been silent the entire while, and she finally spoke up. Her voice was frosty as she asked, “Professor Fairlake, Mr. and Mrs. Miles didn’t question him. Who are you to speak. your mind?”

Oliver was just about to adopt an arrogant and patronizing tone with Alisha, but the second he spun around and looked at her, he realized who she was.

His face turned pale as he greeted in a trembling voice, “Ms. Wahlstrom.”

He dared not offend the granddaughter of the honcho of Walund’s underground circles.

Alisha gave him a threatening glare before turning to Finnegan. “Mr. Larkin, please start.”

Finnegan nodded and went to stand beside Gilbert.

“I’ll need a shaver and scalpel.”

Oliver was just about to voice his query about why Finnegan had altered his stance on performing a surgical procedure when Alisha directed a pointed look in his direction. He quickly averted his gaze, not daring to speak a single word.

He then retrieved the gold needles.
