A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 118 Feel Free To Leave

As a cultured person, even though Desmond had given his son a slap across the face in the morning, it had also served him a reminder that just because he could let go of the hurt caused by his family, he shouldn’t expect Finnegan to exhibit the same magnanimity,

Everyone had their unique emotions and reactions, and he reckoned his son was entitled to exercise his freedom in that regard.

Finnegan fell silent and accepted the bank card before stating, “I’ll keep hold of this for the time being. If you and Mom need it, just let me know.”

Otherwise, these funds will surely end up in the hands of Uncle Adrian or Uncle Raymond…

He was all too familiar with his parents’ soft-hearted nature.

Letting out a deep sigh, Desmond was ready to go take a rest.

Quiana, too, tried to tamp down the horrible feeling swirling within her and got to her feet.

“Dad, Mom…”

Taking in their despondent expressions, Finnegan grappled with his emotions before saying, “I’ll instruct Dr. Cooper to keep looking for a suitable bone marrow match for Max, and I will also ensure that he dedicates all efforts to perform the surgeries for Xavier and his sister. This is the most I can concede!”

Desmond and Quiana’s faces brightened with joy when they heard that.

Tears welled up in Quiana’s eyes as she said, “We understand. This is enough. We won’t push you any

further.”

Noticing the unresolved conflict in their demeanor, Finnegan sighed softly to himself before feigning ignorance and saying, “Mom, there’s another matter I’d like to ask for your help with.”

“What is it?”

Finnegan replied, “Next Friday, the clinic I’m partnering with Mr. Magnussen will be opening. We’ll need someone to handle the cooking. Could you lend a hand, Mom?”

At first, his plan was to arrange a rehabilitation system for Desmond after his recovery to address his

unfulfilled desires.

However, he knew that if Quiana were left with nothing to do, she would likely start overthinking things. As such, he figured it might be better to keep his mother occupied with something as well.

Quiana’s face lit up as she replied, “Of course! I’ve actually been thinking about offering my help before.”

“Finny, since I’m recovering, is there anything I can help you with too?” Seeing that his wife was about to become occupied with work, Desmond grew a little eager as well.

Finnegan replied, “Dad, I have a surprise for you once you’ve fully recovered. I promise it will bring you great satisfaction.”

Desmond nodded. “All right. I’ll follow your arrangements.”
