A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 270 Not The Best Company

That evening, as Finnegan and Rhiannon were leaving Quiana’s hospital room to go to Bennett Farmhouse, they unexpectedly encountered Melinda and Qahira.

“Finny!” Melinda called out as they exited the hospital,

Despite looking worn out, the two women brightened up at the sight of Finnegan, and they eagerly approached him.

Man, this sucks. Finnegan, though displeased, responded coolly, “Aunt Melinda, Aunt Qahira.”

Rhiannon followed suit with a polite but distant greeting, “Aunt Melinda, Aunt Qahira.”

She then tugged at Finnegan’s arm, trying to hasten their departure. “Finn, we should get going. Nancy was asking about us just now.”

“Finny, just a moment,” Melinda interjected, stepping in their path.

“A moment, Finny,” Qahira implored, “Your aunt and I need to talk to you.”

Finnegan, already anticipating their request, cut them off, “Aunt Melinda, Aunt Qahira, we might share some family ties, but beyond that, we’re practically strangers. Please, no more of this.”

He added firmly, “Don’t drag my parents into this. It’s not going to work and only makes me resent you more.”

With that, he took Rhiannon by the hand and left, ignoring Melinda and Qahira’s sour expressions.

Finnegan wasn’t one to respond to ill-will with kindness; sparing them was mercy enough in his eyes.

“Finnegan, wait!” Qahira pleaded, “Even if you can’t help, could you lend us some money? Or maybe talk to the hospital about our bills?”

Melinda joined in, “Exactly! You’re the hospital’s special consultant; you have influence here. Dr. Cooper respects you. Just a word from you, and we might not have to pay. We can’t afford this; our families will be ruined. Can you bear to see that happen?”

Finnegan’s brow creased slightly, feigning deafness as he hastened his steps, ushering Rhiannon with him.

Witnessing Finnegan’s apparent indifference and “lack of gratitude,” Melinda returned to her true nature, bitterly exclaiming, “This ungrateful wretch, utterly heartless! How can he be so cruel to his own family!”
