A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 85 Is Your Sister Sick

Bernice had been thinking about that question all night. She invited Finnegan out for lunch. just to ask him about it.

Finnegan froze.

I didn’t think Bernice would be so thoughtful as to ask me about that. Most people wouldn’t even think of it at all. Still, can I really tell her the truth? Sawyer had specifically warned me not to reveal too much about myself after leaving the mountain, and that applies to my parents as well. This has nothing to do with trust, though. It’s simply because of how complicated this world is. While revealing too much can get me lots of attention, it could also bring lots of trouble to me and those around me.

Bernice felt a little upset when she saw Finnegan go quiet all of a sudden. “You don’t have to tell me if you don’t feel comfortable talking about it. I just need to know that you’re loyal to me. You are loyal to me, right?” she said with a forced smile.

Noticing the change in Bernice’s expression, Finnegan held her hand tightly and said, “As you know, I am a doctor, and people tend to come to me for treatment. Remember how the Miles family approached me after they found out that I cured you?”

“You mean Mr. Wright approached you to have you treat Ms. Wright?”

Huh? Is there a member of the Wright family whom they’re struggling to find treatment for?

Finnegan, who was struggling to come up with a lie, felt delighted when he heard what Bernice said. “That’s right! Mr. Wright found out about me through the Haimowitz and Miles. families, so he asked me to go treat Ms. Wright. However, I didn’t have enough time to carry out the treatment last night, so I decided to head over today afternoon instead,” he replied. with a nod.

Phew! This should be able to clear Bernice’s doubts and suspicions, right?

Sure enough, Bernice felt a lot better after hearing that. “Oh, I see. And here I thought you secretly achieved huge success over the years or something. Ms. Wright’s condition is very complicated, though. Even the top ten doctors in Loang couldn’t do anything about it, so you’d better not mess around if you’re not confident about it. She is the apple of Old Mr. Wright’s eye, after all.”

Finnegan had no idea what Ms. Wright’s condition was, so he could only try his best to go. with the flow. “Don’t worry; I won’t try anything I’m not confident in. I’m just curious. Would it make you feel upset if I really did achieve huge success?”

“Of course! If you achieved success but chose to keep it a secret from me, then I would surely question if you truly like me!” Bernice replied.

The corner of Finnegan’s l*ps twitched slightly when he heard that.

Would she blame me for not trusting her if she someday finds out that I’ve been keeping a lot of secrets from her? But I’m the Mischievous Doctor, whom even the most powerful individuals in the world would try to butter up! Can I really tell her about that?

Bernice frowned slightly when she saw Finnegan go silent again. “You’re not actually keeping secrets from me, are you?”
