A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 21 Token Of Appreciation

After Finnegan taught Gilbert several breathing exercises, he was warmly invited by the Miles. family to stay for dinner with Alexander and the rest.

Once the meal was over, a cheerful Gilbert began chatting with Trey and Sasha. “It was very generous of Mr. Larkin not to hold a grudge and agree to treat me. From now onward, you guys must treat him with the utmost respect. Do you hear me?”

Knowing there was a good chance that Finnegan could cure their father, the two siblings. knew better than to stir up any more trouble.

Even Sasha, who previously resented Gilbert, could no longer bring herself to hate him. “My brother and I are deeply sorry about our behavior yesterday, Mr. Larkin. Please forgive us.”

Now, it was conservatively estimated at a whopping one billion!

In addition, Finnegan also had a premium membership card that allowed him to use any Miles Group’s services for free.

One thing was for sure-the Miles family’s reward to Finnegan had far exceeded one billion.

Despite that, Finnegan didn’t seem overly surprised or emotional. “This is too much, Mr. Miles. I agreed to help you because you’re Jadeborough’s most charitable man.”

“Please accept it, Mr. Larkin,” Kathleen chimed in. “Nothing is more valuable than having
