Finnegan looked around casually and noticed that the room was filled with importarit figures from Jadeborough, as well as experts and professors from other fields. Judging by their age, about half of them were Soren’s students.

Soren indeed had many students over his lifetime as a professor.

After responding politely to the crowd, Alexander turned to a man in his forties, who looked like a scholar, and said, “Caulder, this is Finnegan Larkin. He’s the one who recently helped Mr. Miles and even treated Dr. Magnussen’s granddaughter. I’ve invited him over.”

Everyone turned to look at Finnegan with a frown.

William even had a skeptical look in his

eyes.

If it weren’t for Jerome and Alexander’s recommendation, he might have thought that it was just a joke.

How could someone so young be skilled in medicine?

William’s politeness masked his doubt. “Mr. Larkin, did you really treat both Mr. Miles and Yuliana?”

Finnegan replied calmly, “Indeed.”

Setting aside his skepticism, William continued, “My father is dealing with late-stage lymphoma. Darius Hicks diagnosed him in Durbaine and said he only had a couple of weeks more to live. Now it’s down to four or five days. Can you help extend that by another two weeks?”

He was well aware of his father’s condition. He wasn’t expecting a miraculous recovery and was just hoping for a bit more time to get the old man past eighty years old.

Finnegan walked up to the gla*s wall of the ICU ward where Jerome, in a sterile outfit, was giving acupuncture to a frail old man.

Finnegan raised his hand and knocked on the gla*s before William could stop him.

Hearing the sound, Jerome looked up and beamed as he rushed to the gla*s and spoke into the intercom. “Master, you’re finally here!”
