The Healing Avenger novel Chapter 64

Quiana now believed that Finnegan had achieved some success and also had some savings.

Nevertheless, she didn't think it was enough for him to afford Dragon Bay's No. 1 Villa.

Quiana was worried that her son was being cheated. She wasn't tempted by the villa at all. Instead, she wanted to have nothing to do with it. “Go and return the villa to Mr. Miles. We have to have a sense of self-awareness.”

Desmond added sternly, “Finny, I know that you can make a decent living with your medical skills now, but it's a problem when you're gaining much more than you give.”

To Finnegan's parents, the villa was the equivalent of ill-gotten wealth.

Unlike others who would already be filled with delight, they were more worried that their son was entrapped in a scheme.

Finnegan turned to Rhiannon, hoping that his sister would help persuade their parents.

To his disappointment, all she gave him was a helpless look.

With a wry smile, Finnegan explained patiently, “Mom, Dad, it's really not what you think it is. Mr. Miles gave No. 1 Villa to me without any conditions.”

Even then, Desmond and Quiana remained unconvinced.

There's no way anyone would give away a mansion worth one billion just to see a doctor.

However, taking in the confident look on Finnegan's face, Desmond softened his tone and said, “In that case, tell me where you get the money for the mansion. Even if Mr. Miles gave you a discount, it would still cost you a huge sum, wouldn't it?”

Finnegan had planned to tell his parents that he had a ten-figure savings but decided against it after realizing the limits of his parents' knowledge.

Anything that went beyond that would upset them. They would instead worry unnecessarily over something that they couldn't understand or accept.

What should I do now?

“Mr. Larkin, I understand that you want to make your parents happy, but I think you should tell them the truth.”

Just as Finnegan was wondering how to put his parents' minds at ease, Mandy arrived with the car.

Finnegan frowned.

Tell them the truth? Can they handle the shock?

“Ms. Langdon, right? You know what's going on?” Quiana asked Mandy at once.

The latter nodded. “I do, but I'm afraid Mr. Larkin doesn't want me to talk about it.”

“Don't worry about it. Just tell me. He wouldn't dare do anything!”

“All right, then. Actually, Mr. Miles allowed Mr. Larkin to stay in the villa for the time being after he was cured by Mr. Larkin and learned that Mr. Larkin was looking to move. He just wanted to make you happy when he told you that he had bought it from Mr. Miles. It was just an attempt to demonstrate his filial affection for you!”

Finnegan's eyes lit up when he realized how great Mandy's idea was.

Even though she had lied to his parents, she had managed to help him resolve his predicament.

Just as expected, Desmond and Quiana were visibly relieved upon hearing her explanation.

They were more accepting of it being Finnegan borrowing the place as opposed to Finnegan being the owner of the place.

Desmond turned around and reprimanded Finnegan, “I always told you to be honest in whatever you do since you were young. Have my words fallen on deaf ears? You gave your mother and me a shock. We thought you received the mansion in return for doing something illegal.”

Mom, Dad, do you really think so lowly of me? Am I really incapable of owning a mansion like this?
