A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana) Novel novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43 Why Are You Arresting Me 

“Of course! He deserves it for spoiling your mood, Old Mr. Haimowitz,” Ximena replied without hesitation, oblivious to Winston’s darkening expression. 

After shooting Ximena a glare, Yahir came forward and said, “Uncle Winston, commonfolk like them are lacking in manners. I guarantee that this will not happen again. Please, have a 

seat!” 

As Winston had come because of Finnegan, there was no reason for him to stay now that the latter had been taken away. Moreover, Finnegan’s story sparked disdain within him for Ximena’s family. 

Nevertheless, as a prominent figure in Jadeborough, it would be inappropriate for him to openly break Yosef and Ximena up. Furthermore, he could sense that Finnegan wanted to keep a low profile. 

“Yahir, even though it’s not important for the two families to be equivalent in status, it’s still crucial for the engagement banquet to be a joyous event. Therefore, I think it’s prudent to cancel today’s engagement banquet.” 

The words came as a rude shock to Raymond’s entire family. 

Qahira objected immediately, “Old Mr. Haimowitz, it would be bad luck to cancel it now.” 

After painstakingly ensnaring Yosef, Ximena obviously didn’t want to see her engagement being canceled and her dreams of marrying into a prominent family shattered. “Old Mr. Haimowitz, although my cousin’s indiscretions have upset you, the engagement has been agreed upon much in advance. It is therefore unacceptable to cancel it so suddenly!” 

However, Winston paid no heed to both the mother and daughter. 

Instead, he turned toward Desmond and his wife to console them. “Don’t worry. Your son will be fine. Wynter, let’s go.” 

“Uncle Winston!” 

“Granduncle!” 

“Don’t go, Old Mr. Haimowitz!” 

Regardless of how Yahir, Yosef, Ximena, and the others tried to get him to stay, Winston strode out without looking back. 

He was going to the police station to bail Finnegan out.

With a grim look on his face, Yahir ranted, “Didn’t I tell you that things will never work between families of different backgrounds? And now, you have angered your granduncle. That’s all for today!” He then turned around and began apologizing to the guests. 

Yosef was equally exasperated. “Didn’t I tell you not to invite your poor relatives? Why did you refuse to listen to me?” 

Now that the engagement banquet had clearly been canceled, Ximena snapped at Desmond and his wife, “This is all your fault. All of you bring nothing but bad luck!” She then held Yosef’s arm just as the latter was leaving with Yahir. “Darling, please don’t be angry. This will never happen again.” 

Slap! 

All of a sudden, Qahira walked up to Quiana and gave her a slap. “If you end up ruining Ximena’s marriage, I’ll definitely make all of you pay!” 

Thereafter, their entire family quickly followed behind Yahir and his son, hoping to seek their forgiveness. 

Holding her face, Quiana sobbed, “Desmond, what are we going to do? The Chomsky family has begun to exact revenge on Finny!” 

In order to calm Quiana down, Desmond suppressed the anxiousness within him. “Our only option is to seek Ms. Zimmerman’s help, as neither of us can protect him.” 

“That’s right. I’m going to call her right away.” 

News of Finnegan’s arrest spread quickly. 

Upon learning of it, Tristan stroke his newly planted teeth as he sneered, “Mr. Goldberg, Finnegan is currently being locked up. However, he will only be detained for a few days. before the Zimmerman family gets him out.” 

Oscar snarled, “All we need to do is get him off our backs for a few days until the arrival of my fellow seniors.” 

“In that case, I’ll leave the matter with you, Mr. Goldberg. Once the task is completed, I’ll pay 

the two hundred million we agreed upon.”

The mention of the huge reward elicited a satisfied nod from Oscar. 

He then turned toward Killian, who was no longer recognizable inside the ward. “Is there no other way to help Mr. Killian? At the rate this is going, he will soon lose his limbs.” 

Tristan replied in a grim tone, “I don’t know what Fanegan did to him. None of the specialists I hired have any clue. That said, I heard that Jerome Magnussen has begun

treating patients again. I plan to seek his help tomorrow.” 

Oscar replied, “As one of Loang’s top ten doctors, I’m sure he’ll have a solution.” 

“Once you and your fellow disciples eliminate Finnegan, everything will be perfect!” Tristan remarked with a nod. 

Inside the interrogation room of the police station, Romona was questioning Finnegan. together with another colleague. 

“Name?” 

“Finnegan Larkin.” 

“Age?” 

“Twenty-three.” 

Once she 

got the basic questions out of the way, Romona said, “If you confess to everything. it will help mitigate your sentence. Otherwise, you’ll get at least three years for what you did yesterday. This doesn’t include the huge compensation you’ll be required to pay.” 

Intrigued by the courageous-looking Romona, Finnegan curled his l*ps into a smile. “Captain Quickwood, I presume? Can you really uphold justice without bias?” 

“Of course!” 

After he heard her answer, Finnegan’s smile took a mischievous turn. “In that case, why are you arresting me instead of Tristan and his son? Are the rich the only ones you serve, while ordinary folk like me are condemned to suffer? 

Infuriated by Finnegan’s words, Romona slammed her hand on the table. “Finnegan, watch your attitude. Otherwise, your crime-” 

“Captain Quickwood, this is Finnegan’s file.” 

At that moment, the room door opened as a colleague walked in to hand Romona a bunch of documents.
