A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 238 Identifying The Problem

Soon, Luther had someone convey Finnegan’s message to both families.

Yet, the attitudes of both families remained resolute, and even their lawyers’ attempts at persuasion proved futile.

“This incident has caused a lifetime of emotional trauma to my son, so no amount of money can fix it. Tell that teacher’s son to f*ck off!TM

“They think they can buy our devotion to our dear mother for fifty million? That’s simply impossible!”

“Go ahead and sue us for assault, then! Regardless, we will pursue this matter to the end!”

“There’s nothing to discuss, no amount of money will change my mind! All I want is for that woman to be jailed!

Finnegan took note of their responses in silence.

Luther bitterly smiled and said, “These two families are really stubborn!”

On the contrary, Finnegan calmed down and said, “Release them shortly, Commissioner Hawthorne won’t hold them accountable for hitting our parents.”

*Release them?”

Finnegan took Bernice’s hand and walked toward the door. “That’s right; release them. Otherwise, the media will definitely distort the truth, making this marter more and more complicated, leading the public to believe that the police department is involved in some shady business.”

He paused before adding, “But warn them before you release them. Tell them that I won’t hold back if anyone dares to disturb my parents in the hospital before they are discharged!”

Having said that, Finnegan led Bernice away,

Romona and Luther said their goodbyes and followed along,

Upon reaching the back door of the police department Finnegan paused and asked, “Darling, what do you think?”

“I sense something is off! Firstly, the student only has a fracture and some scrapes, not any serious injuries. Yet, the couple’s attitude is oddly resolute. I could understand that response if they were well-off, but they’re just an average family. How could they possibly turn down five million without a second thought? Secondly, the deceased’s family showed a brief moment of hesitation upon hearing the compensation of fifty million, and then there was a hint of reluctance in their tone when they refused. Thirdly, and most importantly, these two families seem to have no connection at all, yet they are both determined to see Mr. Larkin and Mrs. Larkin go to jail. It’s as if they’ve conspired against them together!” Bernice responded softly.

She then turned toward Finnegan as she continued, “It happened to both your mom and dad at the same time. This is way too much of a coincidence.”
