A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana) Novel novel Chapter 191

Chapter 191 Hostility From Lindsey 

Lindsey said softly, “You’re the one who wants me to be your sister-in-law, so why are you asking me what to do? We’ve known each other for over three years, so you have to lend me a hand!” 

She had truly fallen for Finnegan, but Finnegan was in a romantic relationship with Bernice. 

Lindsey was feeling terrible. 

“Ms. Lindsey, we can’t measure friendship by time. I’ve known Ms. Zimmerman for over five years. And during my three years in university, Ms. Zimmerman has taken good care of me. She bought me a lot of clothes, and even this phone I’m using was a gift from her,” Rhiannon said weakly. 

Lindsey’s l*ps moved slightly. Only then did she remember that she indeed hadn’t known Rhiannon as long as Bernice had. 

Despite feeling upset, she said, “I don’t care! You’re the one who encouraged me to fall for your brother, so you have to take responsibility.” 

Rhiannon flashed her a wry smile. “How can you blame me for this?” 

As they were talking, Finnegan returned and said, “Rhia, Ms. Zimmerman will be coming over soon. We’ll all have a meal together, and then we’ll pick up Mom and Dad to go to the Zimmerman residence in thè evening.” 

Rhiannon blinked at him as she asked, “Go to the Zimmerman residence? For what?” 

“A few days ago, her mother mentioned wanting to sit down with my parents to discuss our engagement. so it’s a good opportunity to 

Today, as it happens, everyone is available. Her mother brought it up again 

sit down and talk,” Finnegan replied. 

Upon hearing this, Rhiannon’s first reaction was to look at Lindsey. 

Lindsey was seen with an uncomfortable expression, pale and struggling. 

Finnegan didn’t notice at first. “Go tidy up. She’ll be here soon.” 

“Rhia, let me help you clean up,” Lindsey said and directly walked into the house. 

“Finn, come with me.” Rhiannon, noticing Lindsey’s discomfort, pulled Finnegan aside. She even deliberately avoided Alisha, who had just come out of the room. 

“What’s wrong?” Finnegan asked. 

Seeing that no one else was around, Rhiannon asked in a low voice, “Finn, are you really going to be with Ms. Zimmerman? Have you stopped considering Ms. Lindsey?” 

And here I thought Rhiannon has something important to say… 

Finnegan smacked her on the head and replied, “Haven’t I told you this before? I don’t have those kinds of feelings for Ms. Lindsey.” 

||| 

Lindsey is going to be ruined!” 

Seeing her act in such a goofy manner, Finnegan smacked her on the head again. “Why is that?” 

“Ever since I met Ms. Lindsey, I’ve been mentioning you in front of her almost every time. You could say I’ve been brainwashing/her about you, to the point where she’s even developed feelings for you. However, you’re with Ms. Zimmerman now, and Ms. Lindsey has fallen for you. Won’t I, the matchmaker, end up being hated by her?” Rhiannon said with a pained expression. 

Upon hearing this, Finnegan was taken aback. “Ms. Lindsey has feelings for me? Stop joking around!” 

Rhiannon spoke softly, “I’m your sister. Do you think I’d joke about something like this? Didn’t you see how Ms. Lindsey’s face changed instantly after hearing what you said? It’s clear she was upset.” 

Reflecting carefully on Lindsey’s change of expression just now, it indeed seemed to suggest something.. 

Finnegan couldn’t help but smack Rhiannon on the head again. “Isn’t this all because of you? How else would it end up like this?” 

Rhiannon huffed. “I don’t care! On one side there’s Ms. Lindsey, on the other, there’s Ms. Zimmerman. I can’t favor either. You handle this matter yourself, as long as it doesn’t affect my relationship with Ms. Lindsey.” 

Having said that, Rhiannon ran into the house, clearly leaving the problem for Finnegan to deal with on 

his own. 

Finnegan broke into a wry smile. “What else can I do, besides minimizing contact with her?” 

It wasn’t long before Bernice arrived. 

With a sweet voice, Rhiannon greeted, “Ms. Zimmerman.” 

Bernice held Rhiannon’s hand and asked with concern, “I heard from your brother that you got hurt a few days ago. Are you feeling better now?” 

Rhiannon replied, “My brother is a skilled doctor, so everything is already taken care of.” 

Nodding her head, Bernice said, “I’m glad you’re okay. Let’s get in the car, we’ll go to the mall and have lunch together.” 

Rhiannon turned to look at Lindsey and asked, “Ms. Lindsey, would you like to join us?” 

Knowing Lindsey well, she had thought that Lindsey wouldn’t go. 

To her surprise, Lindsey replied without a moment’s hesitation, “I happen to be free today, so we can go together. You and your brother can ride in my car!” 

Rhiannon’s l*ps moved slightly. 

Finnegan’s eyes also widened in surprise. 

Is she making us choose a side? 

Bernice, with her sharp mind, immediately pinpointed the crux of the problem. 

2/4 

She couldn’t help but chuckle as she said, “No worries you guys go ahead and ride in her car. We’ll meet up when we get there.” 

After letting go of Rhiannon, Bernice shot Finnegan a look before getting into the car. 

Finnegan opened his mouth to speak, but hesitated, stiggling to find the right words. 

He could only let out a sigh at Bernice’s magnanimity. 

Half an hour later, the group arrived at a nearby shopping mall. 

Bernice pulled Rhiannon into a high-end clothing store and said, “Rhia, now that you’re working as a secretary for Ms. Haimowitz, you need to pay more attention to your attire. I’ll buy you a few sets of clothes today, so go ahead and choose.” 

“Ms. Zimmerman, isn’t this too expensive?” 

This was an international brand store, where even a simple set of underwear costed thousands. 

The starting price for a complete outfit was tens of thousands. 

Bernice said, “It’s fine; the clothes we buy can be worn for a long time. It’s not like we’re buying them every day.” 

eppet Lindsey furrowed her brows and stepped forward, “Rhia, now that you’re working, let me gift you a few 

sets too.” 

The air suddenly filled with a palpable sense of rivalry. 

Caught in the middle, Rhiannon turned toward Finnegan for help. 

Finnegan cleared his throat and said, “Ms. Lindsey, you’ve taken good care of Rhia over the years, but there’s no need for you to keep sending her clothes. Besides, she can’t wear them all. Let Bernice buy her clothes instead.” 

Reflecting upon the words of Rhiannon, Finnegan decided to make Lindsey give up on her own.
