The Wright family resided in a massive mansion near Jadeborough that was built over two centuries ago.
Stephen had already informed his family that Finnegan would be visiting them the day before.
When Finnegan arrived at the residence with Stephen, a welcoming party was already waiting for them at the entrance. Heading the group was a warm and dignified middle-aged man.
Finnegan recognized him immediately.
He was the current mayor of Jadeborough, Adam Wright.
Adam was also Nathan’s third son.
Finnegan was there to treat Adam’s daughter, Waylynn.
“Uncle Adam, this is Dr. Finnegan Larkin!” Stephen introduced the moment he got out of the car.
Adam had canceled all his work meetings in order to be at home that day. When he saw how young Finnegan was, he was stunned.
Is this guy really the sole disciple of Sawyer Aiello, the Eternal Medicine God?
However, very soon, Adam’s doubts vanished when he thought of Jeremy, who was recovering in the military hospital. Jeremy was proof of Finnegan’s medical prowess.
Without putting on any airs, Adam went forward and offered a warm handshake. “Dr. Larkin, you’re finally here!”
Standing behind Adam were a few other members of the Wright family and Adam’s secretary. They were equally shocked.
The fact that Adam had been waiting around for Finnegan was already a surprise.
They were all the more shocked when Adam greeted Finnegan with such warmth and politeness.
Who is this man?
The Larkin family is not part of the Five Great Families, right?
Finnegan returned his handshake calmly. “Mr. Wright, nice to meet you. How about we take a look at Ms. Wright first?”
Adam’s eyes were slightly red when he thought of his daughter. “Thank you, Dr. Larkin. He then turned to the others. “Go ahead with your work. Whatever you see today, keep it confidential and tell no one.”
Next he led the way while updating Finnegan about Waylynn’s condition.
Five years ago, during a mission, Waylynn had been caught in a fire that had started because of an explosion in order to protect hundreds of citizens, she ended up being engulfed by the fire.
She aged to survive, fun ninety percent of her body was burn. Every day, she could only stay in the
sterile ward that the Wright family had built for her.
it was such a torturous life for her that the idea of ending her own life had crossed her mind.
Stephen had mentioned the same thing to Finnegan as well. Finnegan nodded and asked, “Why didn’t you look for me sooner?”
Three years ago, Sawyer had told some people about Finnegan. Given the status of the Wright family, they should have known about him.
Adam replied. “We heard that Dr. Aiello had set a test for you, and you weren’t allowed to leave until it was completed. Waylynn can’t travel far and her condition seems to have stabilized. We just thought we would wait until you completed your task.”
Finnegan came to an understanding.
Back then, even if the Wright family had asked for him, he would not have been able to come.
Very soon, they arrived at an isolated corner of the mansion where two guards were guarding the
entrance. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
That was where Waylynn’s sterile ward was located.
“Finnegan?”
Just as Finnegan walked in, he heard a soft cry.
He turned and couldn’t help but smile. “Captain Quickwood! What a coincidence!”
It was Romona, the bad-tempered police officer.
Adam asked, “Romona, do you know Dr. Larkin?”
“Uncle Adam, what did you say?” Romona widened her eyes and pointed at Finnegan. “This guy is a miracle doctor? Is he the one you have engaged to treat Waylynn? Did you make a mistake? He’s just
a jerk who talks rubbish.”
Adam asked grimly, “Romona, is there some sort of misunderstanding between you and Dr. Larkin?”
“No, there isn’t. He’s just a jerk who talks rubbish.”
Romona glared at Finnegan and told Adam everything about Finnegan’s arrest and his sarcastic remarks while he was in the interrogation room.
When she was done, she snorted and added, “Even though Tristan did give a false accusation, Finnegan shouldn’t have hit him. Not only was he sarcastic to me, but he also managed to get Mr. Palmer to vouch for him. I can’t stand him. He’s definitely not a good person, and he’s certainly not a miracle doctor. Uncle Adam all of you have been fooled by him! Please tell him to get lost!”
Adarn looked upset and apologized to Finnegan, “Dr. Larkin, Romona can be quite straightforward Please
on’t take it to heart”
Komora was shocked to see her uncle apologizing to Finnegan.
Finnegan responded, “Yes, she’s quite straightforward. But I think she’s trying to save her pride, no?”
Reynard’s willingness to vouch for Finnegan back then spoke volumes.
However, Romona refused to let it go and wanted to target Finnegan the moment she saw him.
It was obvious her pride had taken a beating, and she could not get over it.
Romona shouted. “What did you say? You aren’t a good person, Finnegan. Why else is there no record of
you
for the past five years? And now you’re tricking my uncle. Do you think you can do whatever you want just because Mr. Palmer has your back?”
Romona’s words were getting harsher.
Adam was well aware of Finnegan’s style, so he quickly put a stop to it. “Romona, that’s enough. Apologize to Dr. Larkin now!”
“Why should I apologize to him? I didn’t say anything wrong. Besides, he should be the one to apologize to me. What gives him the right to accuse me of taking the side of the evildoer? He even said that I’m unable to distinguish right and wrong.”
Clearly, pride was more important to Romona.
Finnegan chuckled and said, “Mr. Wright, forget it. I won’t accept an apology from a difficult person who can’t differentiate between right and wrong anyway. Let’s go and see Ms. Wright instead!”
Can’t differentiate between right and wrong? A difficult person?
That infuriated Romona further. She blocked Finnegan’s way and said, “Apologize to me right now, then get out of here! If not, I will throw you into prison this time even if you ask Mr. Palmer for help! You’re just a conman masquerading as a doctor!”
Finnegan frowned when he heard that.
Initially, he was going to let it go because of the Wright family, but Romona was being pushy.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Adam. “Is she your niece?”
Adam replied, “She’s my sister’s daughter. They’re from Durbaine.”
Finnegan was not surprised by the information. Back at the police station, Finnegan had a rough idea of who Romona was. She came from the Quickwood family, one of the Five Great Families.
However, he did not expect her to be related to the Wright family as well.
No wonder she was able to withstand the pressure back then.
Despite her powerful background, Finnegan did not intend to give in to her. “Mr. Wright, please control your niece. I’m here to treat your daughter, not to be doubted and insulted by others!”
Knowing Finnegan’s style and temper, Adam began to panic. Even though Romona was his favorite niece. he chided, “Romona, if you carry on with your nonsense, I’ll send you back to Durbaine. Move aside!”
Yet. Romona refused to yield. “Uncle Adam, are you senile? This man is clearly not of good character The

other doctors can’t do anything about Waylynn’s condition. What makes you think he can? Don’t be fooled by him!”
Adam could tell that Finnegan was getting annoyed.
Worried that Finnegan would not want to help his daughter, Adam immediately called out to Stephen, “Get Romona-”
“Adam, is he here?”
