A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana) Novel novel Chapter 32

Chapter 32 The House Is Gone 

Friday soon came. 

For the past two days, Finnegan had been going to the Langdon residence to perform Howard’s acupuncture sessions and returning to the Wahlstrom residence to treat Theoden in the evening 

Whenever he was free, he would call Bernice or chat with her. Life was such leisure. 

The only bad thing was how rampant Alisha got in trying to seduce him. There were a few times Finnegan nearly gave in. 

Fortunately, he was returning at the end of that day, so Alisha would no longer get that many chances to come close to him. 

“Dr. Larkin, please stay two more days so that I can thank you for your kindness.” 

Knowing that Finnegan was going to return to Jadeborough upon leaving the Wahlstrom residence, Theoden tried his best to keep Finnegan around. 

However, Finnegan said, “It’s my sister’s birthday today. It’s been five years since I celebrated it with her. Moreover, the Chomskys seem to be lying a little too low. I’m worried that they’ll come after my parents if I’m not around them.” 

The mention of the Chomsky family made Theoden scoff. “Dr. Larkin, is there really a need to make things so difficult? All I need is your word, and I’ll make the Chomsky family vanish from Jadeborough right away.” 

Finnegan chuckled. That’ll be too easy for the Chomsky family, and that won’t alleviate the fury in me.” 

After chatting for a while longer, and asking Alisha to pick him up from the Langdon residence in the afternoon again, Finnegan left. By then, Mandy was already there to pick him up. 

Theoden only looked away from Finnegan after seeing the latter enter the car. Staring at his granddaughter with a smile, he asked, “My dear, did you succeed last night? I made Dr. Larkin drink quite an amount to help you out.” 

Alisha stomped her foot in anger the second she recalled what happened the night before. “No! He’s such a dense man!” 

While Finnegan was away, she had sneaked into his room and lay on his bed, n*ked. However, it seemed like Finnegan realized she was in the room just as he reached the entrance, and he left. She did not know where he went, and she was so downcast she did not

sleep that night. 

Theoden only chuckled but did not ask any more questions about it. Instead, he said, “Keep trying. I have faith in your charm.” 

“But what abilities does he have besides medical skills? Why are you so invested in him, Grandpa?” 

“His history is not one to speak of. You’ll know in the future.” 

At Jadeborough’s General Hospital, Tristan was gloomily standing outside the intensive care unit. Inside the ward was Killian, who no longer had normal limbs like everyone else. After a week of torture, he had lost over twenty pounds, and he seemed like he was about to die. 

“Mr. Chomsky, my senior will be here tonight. We’ll be able to take Finnegan down this. time.” 

Oscar was wheeled over to Tristan in a wheelchair, and there was an excited look on his face. 

Tristan was thrilled. “He’s finally coming. This time, I’m going to make Finnegan go on his knees and beg for a chance to treat Killi before begging for mercy.” A pause after, he turned to his subordinate and asked, “But is Finnegan coming back from Bellridge?” 

Tristan knew that Finnegan had gone to Bellridge a few days ago, but he did not look into the reason Finnegan was there. 

His subordinate replied, “He hasn’t come back yet. Could it be that he has gone to Bellridge in fear of your revenge?” 

“Does he think he can run?” Tristan sneered. “Go. Pay the Larkins the relocation funds for the demolition of their house in advance. Then, get the men to drive a few pieces of machinery over to his place and demolish the house. I doubt he’ll continue to stay in Bellridge after catching wind of this. But keep a close eye on the Zimmerman family just in case that Zimmerman girl pops up again.” 

“Yes, sir!” 

Half an hour later, Tristan’s subordinate came to the Larkin residence with dozens of men. and two excavators. 

“Throw all the people and the things out of the house. Demolish the place!” 

Immediately, the dozens of men rushed inside as if they were about to rob the house.” 

Desmond and his wife, who were still reeling in from the thrill of receiving the relocation funds, panicked instantly. “What are you doing? Don’t touch my things!” 

2/4 

1. Were now demolishing your place according to the 

rules. Get out right now.” 

The group of men did not care about how furious Desmond and his wife were as well. In the end, two men shoved Quiana out while two more men carried Desmond out. They then threw out everything the Larkins owned onto the street. 

Casper, who lived next to Finnegan and was childhood friends with him, was there helping his family move that day. He rushed over to the Larkin residence when he saw what was going on and shouted, “What are you doing? There should be a period of time when allow the family to move out after they receive their compensation. You can’t possibly demolish their house by force now!” 

With that, he stepped forward to push away the two men towing Quiana. 

you 

Alas, he was no match for the two men, and he was even beaten up by them. Casper’s mother and elder sister tried to intervene, but they were all stopped by the other men. The rest of the neighbors only watched on. 

Quiana sobbed and begged, “Stop hitting him! We won’t resist anymore! Just demolish the house!” 

Desmond snapped, “Stop that! Demolish the place if that’s what you want, but if you keep hitting him, we’re going to call the cops!” 

Tristan’s subordinates scoffed in disdain. “You’re stupid to try to resist despite receiving your compensation.” 

Twenty minutes later, all that was left of the Larkin residence was a pile of debris. With the Riverses’ help, Quiana tearfully packed the family’s possessions. 

After completing their task, Tristan’s subordinates even told them, “Tell Finnegan to come back here, or else we don’t just stop at crushing the house today-it’ll be the two of you 

tomorrow.” 

Not long after, Finnegan, who was completing the last treatment session for Howard, received a call from his mother. 

Quiana informed him about the forced removal of their house, and she even told him not to return to Jadeborough because the Chomsky family was after him. 

Finnegan never thought Tristan would have the courage to make such a lowly move. After consoling his mother, he ended the call and slammed his fist downward. The marble table split in half, and the Langdons were stupefied by Finnegan’s furious action. 

“Dr. Larkin, did something happen?”
