A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 83 Do Not Know How

Knowing that his parents would definitely nag him, Finnegan woke up past eight in the morning the next day. After freshening up, he discreetly jumped from the second floor to the backyard and quietly left Dragon Bay’s No. 1 Villa.

At a little over nine o’clock in the morning, seeing that Finnegan hadn’t woken up, Quiana knocked on Finnegan’s door, only to find that he had already left.

“When did Finnegan leave?”

Quiana questioned the housekeepers, but they all claimed ignorance.

Wearing a stern expression, Desmond uttered, “Judging by how you’re badgering him to treat that ungrateful brat, Max, all the time, it’s only expected for him to run away.”

Quiana retorted, “What right do you have to criticize me? No matter how ungrateful he is, Max is now severely ill, so why do you keep holding grudges? It’s your brother, Raymond, and his family who are outrageous. They are loaded and already own a house, yet they still have the audacity to borrow money from us to buy another house! More incredulously, you even agreed to his request! Did you forget how they refused to lend us even one thousand when you were disabled previously? Adrian and his family, on the other hand, lent the money to us.”

Desmond’s face reddened with anger. “Quiana, you’re being unreasonable! Can you even compare these two matters? Your younger brother’s family has been an ungrateful bunch from the beginning. My brother’s family only acted in that manner because Finny ruined Ximena’s engagement. Otherwise, Raymond and his wife wouldn’t have behaved that way.”

Quiana scolded, “Desmond, you’re just blindly loyal to your older brother. You always have been!”

“You’re one to talk when you’re clearly obsessed with helping your younger brother!”

Meanwhile, Finnegan had arrived at General Hospital, unaware that Desmond and Quiana were arguing again.

“You’re here, Mr. Larkin.”

William happened to be in the ward. Upon noticing Finnegan’s arrival, he hurriedly got to his feet and greeted Finnegan.

“No need for formalities, Mr. Caulder,” Finnegan responded politely. When he walked up to
