A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 77 Conspiracy

“Who would have thought that there was still a complete Long Life Pill in this world? Dr. Cooper, you’re indeed lucky!”

“It’s a pity this young man only has one pill. Otherwise, I would have bought one even if it meant spending my entire fortune. After all, what’s the use of having all the money if I lose my life?”

“Old Mr. Zimmerman’s seventieth celebration is likely to turn into a bittersweet occasion.”

Witnessing Alexander, who was nearing seventy, transform into a man who seemed to be in his early fifties, along with his notably enhanced mental state compared to others his age, the banquet guests could not help but be amazed.

While some admired Alexander, some also sympathized with Bruce.

After all, the Long Life Pill had started out as a birthday gift for him, but unfortunately, he had declined it.

Feeling about ten years younger, Alexander dropped to his knees before Finnegan. “Mr. Larkin, thank you. Thank you!”

The effects of a single pill had extended his lifespan by twenty years. He was at a loss for words on how to convey his gratitude to Finnegan.

Finnegan a*sisted him in standing up. “Dr. Cooper, there’s no need for you to express more gratitude. Take this as a blessing.”

Bruce’s frustration grew even stronger. He said, “Let the feast begin!”

He was concerned that if the banquet did not start soon, he might become so frustrated that he would faint.

After the commotion, Liam, Queenie, and others had settled down and behaved themselves.

If they had not come forward to question Finnegan earlier, the Long Life Pill would have ended up

with Bruce. They opted to remain silent to prevent Bruce from directing his anger toward them.

Bernice guided Finnegan to a different table, where they joined the company’s high-ranking officials.

While dining. Bernice gently touched Finnegan’s arm and murmured, “Why didn’t you firmly a*sert yourself when you knew the pill was genuine? Now my grandparents are probably even more upset with you!”

No elderly individuals could remain composed if they were aware that they had missed the chance to appear ten years younger and extend their lives by two decades.

They wouldn’t have bought it since they already had their minds set. In fact, they might have become more furious. As for their opinions…
