A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 292 I Am Well

After driving Sapphire away, Queenie turned on the shower in tears. She scrubbed her body incessantly with a bath sponge, all the while cursing, “F*ck! Finnegan, you won’t meet a good end!”

She even took the toothbrush from the washbasin, squeezed a lot of toothpaste on it, and said, “I won’t let you off, b*stard! You son of a b*tch!”

After washing for more than ten minutes, Queenie finally stopped.

Yet, the tears still wouldn’t stop. “Finnegan!”

Although she didn’t lose her body in the past half hour, it felt almost as if she had.

Often, she was compelled to do as she was told because of the recording in Finnegan’s possession.

That made her feel increasingly stifled, her delicate features contorting in frustration. “Just you wait! I’m not someone to be tricked with!”

Suppressing the frustration and anger within, she left the bathroom, got dressed, and went to her parents’

room.

Millicent and Timothy were both present.

Seeing her come in with swollen red eyes and a desolate expression, Millicent quickly asked, “Queenie, what’s going on? Why did your mom say you’ve been crying and that you’re emotionally distraught?”

Queenie wanted to cry.

But in the end, she held back, replying without any expression, “Finnegan has never believed that your apologies were sincere from the start. He has been on guard ever since he arrived at the Zimmerman residence. Even his drunkenness was feigned. The moment I entered the room, he stopped me.”

Millicent’s face slightly changed when she heard that. “Finnegan was pretending to be drunk, and he knows everything?”

Sapphire then asked, “If Finnegan was just pretending, then why didn’t you come out for over half an hour? Were you just sitting naked in the bathroom the whole time?”
