A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 27 Pretense

“Finny, are you really not visiting Max at the hospital? After all, he is your cousin. Your Uncle Adrian’s family members are your kin!”

“But some relatives are no better than outsiders, like the Mdm. Dickson and her family, who used to live next door. How can Uncle Adrian’s family even compare to them?” Finnegan. countered.

“Quiana, don’t trouble Finny anymore. Even I don’t want to waste my time entertaining them either when I look at your brother’s family’s repulsive demeanor.”

“Mom, Dad, I am going to Bellridge to visit a patient. I may be away for a few days, but do call me if anything happens.”

Quiana fell silent.

The next morning, Finnegan rejected Quiana’s pleas once again before leaving the house. He asked Alisha to send him to the car showroom.

The trip might take a few days. Finnegan intended to give Lindsey an acupuncture treatment first. At the same time, buy Rhiannon a car as a birthday gift. He wanted to avoid being pressed for time if he were to do those things upon his return.

However, Finnegan found out Lindsey was still on the way when he

got there.

While waiting, Finny looked at the vehicles on display. The sales staff recognized him as Lindsey’s friend, so they left him alone.

“Mister, are you interested in buying a car?” asked a new saleswoman who had just started working there yesterday.

She didn’t meet with Finnegan the other day.

He noticed her nametag: Lucy Watson.

Finnegan nodded. “I want to buy a car for my sister to gift to her as a birthday present.”

A seasoned saleswoman, Wendy Mabins, chuckled, “Hey, handsome, quit teasing the young lady. You’re a friend of Ms. Jennings, and your sister has been here many times. How can your family afford a car? If you want to see Ms. Jennings, wait in her office. Don’t bother the girl for no reason.”

The other salespeople also snickered, as they were certain Finnegan was just joking with Lucy.

Finnegan had heard of how snobbish the salespeople at a car dealership could be. Unexpectedly, he encountered the experience that day, not to mention from Lindsey’s subordinates.

He sighed inwardly and turned to Lucy, “If you’re busy, I can wait for your manager to come.”
