A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 101 Where Is Bernice

“Why?” Alisha asked, dumbfounded.

She could clearly sense Finnegan’s disgust.

Finnegan replied darkly, “What do you think?”

He had asked for one of Theoden’s loyal subordinates to advance his plans of revenge against the Chomsky family.

Alas, at the most critical juncture, Alisha had committed a fatal flaw by not uncovering Tristan’s plans to cause a car accident.

If Xavier hadn’t driven Rhiannon’s car away, would Rhiannon still be alive today? While there were no fatalities in the accident, there were still countless injuries!

The accident was by no means Finnegan’s fault, yet he felt obliged to shoulder part of the blame, as Tristan’s actions clearly carried malice toward him.

He felt responsible for dragging other people into his mess.

Alisha finally caught on to the implications in his words and asked, “Are you blaming me for not keeping a closer eye on Tristan?”

Finnegan retracted his gaze from hers and uttered, “Talking about the past is useless. I’ll give you ten million now. Think of how to compensate the victims. At the end of the day, I’m at fault for dragging them into my mess!”

If only I didn’t give the Chomsky family fifteen days. If I had destroyed them in one fell swoop, there wouldn’t have been forty-eight innocent casualties today. Luckily there were no deaths!

Alisha said through gritted teeth, “I admit I was careless, Finnegan, but you are to blame too. If you had followed my initial suggestion to destroy the Chomsky family immediately, these injuries would never have happened. That’s why I’ll never leave!”

Finnegan frowned lightly but did not fly into a rage.

He had to admit that Alisha was right.

Sighing to himself, he walked to the window and gazed at the night scenery outside. He lamented. “Why does peace elude me?”

Finnegan had arranged for extra security for his family. It was impossible for Tristan to harm them unless he dispatched a ma*sive number of men.

The same situation applied to Josephine and her family. Dozens of guards were secretly on standby around her house and would immediately detect any infiltrations from Tristan’s men. They would swiftly get rid of the intruders before Josephine’s family even realized anything was amiss.

Despite the security measures, doubt continued to niggle at Finnegan’s mind.

He was nonetheless confident that Tristan would not target Raymond’s or Adrian’s families.
