The Healing Avenger novel Chapter 28

“Finnegan, I heard that you just bought a full-spec Porsche 718. Hurry up and cancel it. That's your family's relocation fund.”

After waiting for over ten minutes, Lindsey finally arrived. She immediately urged Finnegan to cancel the booking right away.

“Lindsey, we haven't received the relocation funds yet. That's my own money,” Finnegan said with a smile.

Surprised, Lindsey asked, “Your money? Didn't Rhia say you’re dirt poor and ask me not to look down on you?”

Rhia is such a blabbermouth. Finnegan replied, “I have some savings from treating people these few years. Rhia's birthday is in a few days' time. So, I bought a car as a present for her. I really didn't use the relocation fund.”

Lindsey heaved a sigh of relief after realizing that Finnegan seemed like he was being truthful. “It would have been enough if you bought her a low-spec Porsche 718. Why did you have to buy the top-spec model? Why don't I return it for you and refund you the difference?”

“Thank you, Ms. Lindsey. As long as Rhia likes it, the price doesn't matter,” Finnegan said determinedly.

“Well, she is so lucky to have a brother like you.” Lindsey decided against commenting further. However, Lindsey then thought about how Finnegan addressed her and said, “It's fine that Rhia calls me Ms. Lindsey, but you can't call me that!”

“Why not? You're older than me anyway.”

“No way. You can call me Linnie or just Lindsey.”

Finnegan smiled and said, “All right, Lindsey it is. People are going to misunderstand if I call you Linnie.”

Lindsey furrowed her brows and asked, “What misunderstanding are you afraid of? Am I ugly?”

Sensing the situation had gotten out of hand, Finnegan hurriedly said, “Let’s treat you first.”

Lindsey shot a glare at Finnegan and closed the drapes.

She didn't feel as awkward in front of Finnegan after having gone through the first treatment session.

The treatment this time was quite fast and finished in only about ten minutes.

Lindsey blushed crimson as she put on her clothes. “Let's have lunch together.”

“No can do. I have to head to Bellridge,” Finnegan said.

Lindsey was aggrieved that she was shot down yet again. However, she didn't want to be too obvious and merely hummed in response before saying, “You can't reject me again next time. Otherwise, I'm going to complain to Rhia and ask her to tell your mom and dad.”

“We'll talk next time. Bye!”

Finnegan's quick exit left Lindsey feeling disheartened as if their interaction had been nothing more than a routine treatment session. “Does he really not have any interest in me?” she wondered aloud.

Finnegan bumped into Ximena and Yosef after heading out. They had just booked a low-spec 718.

Ximena snickered at the sight of him. “Oh, did you cancel your booking? I thought you would've at least waited for us to leave before you do that.”

Either kill or ignore the people who harbor ill intentions toward you.

Finnegan couldn't kill Ximena. Hence, he chose to ignore her. He pretended as if he couldn't hear her and walked right past her.

However, Ximena thought Finnegan's silence meant that he felt guilty. The smile on her face broadened as she said, “Don't feel bad. I'm your cousin. I won't laugh at you. Anyway, my engagement party is on this Saturday. Please extend my invitation to Uncle Desmond and Aunt Quiana.”

However, Finnegan paid no heed to her and left.

Ximena held Yosef's hands and said, “Darling, let's go. We can only get the car the day after tomorrow.”

Yosef whispered, “Ximena, since I've bought you the car and saved your face, what do you say about tonight?”

“What's the rush? I'm going to give it to you after we're engaged. I want my first time to be meaningful.”

“All right. I'll wait a few more days.”

Lindsey left the office right after the two of them stepped out of the store. “Lucy just sold a top-spec 718. Therefore, her internship ends today itself. She is now our full-time employee.”
