A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 51 Sincerity

As the evening approached, Jerome and Yuliana sent Finnegan and Bernice off.

“Master are you and Ms. Zimmerman really not staying for dinner?” Jerome asked.

With a smile, Finnegan replied, “Mr. Magnussen, once the clinic reopens, we’ll have plenty of time to have dinner together.”

Since it was Monday the next day, Finnegan wanted to spend the night with Bernice.

Jerome knew what was on Finnegan’s mind, so he respected Finnegan’s answer. “When do you think we can reopen the clinic?”

Finnegan stopped smiling and replied, “This coming week is too soon. Let’s do it next Friday!”

Finnegan couldn’t open the clinic with a peaceful mind without settling the thing that had been bugging him for the past five years, and that was the feud with the Chomsky family.

Jerome didn’t probe further and nodded. “I’ll start the hiring process over the next few days. and prepare the medicines needed. I’ll leave the rest to you, Master.”

“All right. We’ll go now.”

Jerome only told Yuliana to go back after watching Finnegan and Bernice leave.

Yuliana held Jerome’s arm and asked, “Grandpa, Mr. Larkin seems like an extraordinary man, but are you sure you’re going to address him as your master? You’re one of the top ten doctors in Loang! Besides, you have tons of disciples!”

In fact, Jerome was considered one of the pioneers in the world of medicine.

Therefore, Yuliana thought her grandfather addressing Finnegan, a man in his twenties, as a master was inappropriate.

In a meaningful tone, Jerome answered, “Kid, you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Once you’ve spent enough time with him, you’ll realize that it’s my honor to address him so.”

Although Yuliana didn’t know why Jerome valued Finnegan so highly, she didn’t question further. It’s just weird for me to call him Grandmaster. He’s the same age as me.

That night, Finnegan had a romantic dinner with Bernice at a restaurant. After that, they went on a stroll like how an ordinary couple would.

“I haven’t even agreed to be your girlfriend. Do you think you’re acting appropriately?”
