A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 107

Chapter 107 Saving The Galaxy

For years, Liam had pursued Bernice, but her demeanor toward him remained as icy as ever.

They hadn’t even so much as held hands..

Yet, here was Finnegan, receiving from her the kind of attention that had always eluded Liam. His expression frosted over in an instant. “Finnegan, who are you accusing of disparaging you? Who’s the snake in the gra*s?”

Cindy, visibly disgusted, chimed in, “Finnegan, how do you even dare to show your face here? You may have crossed Rocky for Bernie’s sake, but if you hadn’t brought her to the bar in the first place, would this have happened? And what does Mr. Sable, with his standing, have to gain from discrediting you? Had it not been for him, we may still be searching for Bernie!”

Her torrent of words made it clear she sided squarely with Liam.

Finnegan’s brows knitted in displeasure, his disdain for Cindy heightening.

Her judgment was purely based on prejudice, devoid of any sense of right and wrong.

Yet, before he could speak, Bernice interrupted, “Cin, Finnegan is my boyfriend. I hope you can refrain from harboring any prejudice toward him.”

She was no fool. She could read the subtext of Cindy’s cooperation with Liam.

However, for the sake of their years of friendship, she decided against admonishing Cindy.

Bernice knew that Cindy was ultimately looking out for her as the latter thought that Finnegan was not a good match for her.

Cindy hesitated, sensing the hint of fury in Bernice’s tone.

Biting her lower l*p, Cindy took on a more gentle tone. “He still needs to explain himself, no? Otherwise, not just me, but even your parents won’t accept him.”

Liam concurred, “Exactly. Even if you had only offended Rocky to protect Bernie, the root of the issue was you taking her to that bar in the first place.”

“It wasn’t Finnegan who took me to the bar,” Bernice interjected, holding Finnegan’s hand in a silent plea for him to remain quiet. “I chose to go myself.”

She didn’t see the need to bring up the fact that the fight had started because of Josephine.

It would only serve to further isolate Finnegan.
