A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 208 The Secret Within The Sword

It was a little past nine, and everyone had already eaten and drunk their fill.

The relationship between Trey and others and Finnegan had once again become closer.

When it was time to leave, Felix, who had quite a few drinks, was leaning on Finnegan’s shoulder.

In a tipsy tone, Felix said, “By the way, my grandpa mentioned that Jerome Medical Clinic is currently understaffed. My cousin, Zephyr, is idle all day, knowing only to eat, drink and have fun. Hence, my grandpa asked me to tell you that starting tomorrow, Zephyr will be at your disposal at Jerome Medical Clinic. He hopes you can guide him a bit.”

Even though Finnegan had quite a bit to drink, his mind remained clear.

He could tell right away what Winston was planning.

Before he could speak, Trey chimed in, “You still remember my cousin Jaxon, right? My dad thinks he’s not doing anything productive with his days, so he’s planning to send him to Jerome Medical Clinic to be under your command and guidance.”

Mandy continued, “Also, my cousin, Shaun, the one who my uncle punished for disrespecting you last time, has been sent to Jadeborough by my grandpa. He hopes you can help discipline him.”

They’re handing over the most prodigal person from each family to me. The same idea was proposed by the three of them, causing a smile to tug at the corners of Finnegan’s mouth. He asked, “Why do I feel like there’s more to you inviting me to dinner tonight than meeting the eye?”

Felix laughed. “Don’t say it like that. After all, you need help too. And my grandpa said it’s fine even if you beat up Zephyr daily, as long as you don’t let him mess around anymore.”

Sasha and Mandy, standing nearby, both nodded in agreement. The elders of each family share the same sentiment. As long as people are placed next to Finnegan, no matter how Finnegan disciplines them, it’s all acceptable. Of course, the reason is quite simple. It’s to solidify the relationship with Finnegan.

And as for their intentions, Finnegan could see right through them.

After some thought, he said, “Sure. I don’t mind if they want to come over.”

Indeed, Jerome Medical Clinic was in need of staff.

Next, Zephyr’s status, being what it was, could save them from some trouble.

Seeing Finnegan’s agreement, Felix and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. They had genuinely feared they wouldn’t be able to fulfill the instructions of their family elders.

Afterward, Trey and the others left first. Finnegan asked Mandy to escort Yuliana, then greeted Nancy before getting into Alisha’s car to leave.

Watching them leave, Nancy returned to the room where Bennett was watching TV. Seeing her return, he asked casually, “Are they gone?”
