The Healing Avenger novel Chapter 8

Joel's heart skipped a beat. If he failed to satisfy the Zimmerman family, he wouldn't be able to leave Jadeborough, or worse, his medical career might be ruined.

“My entire net worth is only three million. I can't possibly come up with a hundred million...”

Left with no choice, he could only look at Finnegan beseechingly.

Finnegan hadn't really planned on squeezing a hundred million out of the other party, so he waved his hand dismissively and said, “Forget about the money, but don't forget your promise.”

“Don't worry. I will apologize to you tomorrow through all the major well-known media outlets across the country.”

With that, he left the hospital, looking rather dejected.

Patrick presented the check of ten million that he had prepared in advance to Finnegan.

Finnegan had come to Bernice's rescue due to her kind-hearted nature. He did not accept the check. “Never mind the money. I will now write two prescriptions for you. One is for Ms. Zimmerman, and you can bring the other to me once it's prepared.”

Seeing her daughter's anxious expression, the cheerful Patrick thought back to when Bernice had just scolded Finnegan for being a pervert. He quickly came to Finnegan's defense. “I'm not sure what happened just now, but you shouldn't hold it against him. He treated you, after all.”

Bernice chuckled bitterly. “Dad, it's not about that.”

“Then why are you looking for him?”

“His name is also Finnegan. He could be the one who saved me five years ago. He has returned.”

“When one is impoverished, even city dwelling offers no attention, yet when one is wealthy, visitors abound even in mountainous seclusion. If you don't believe me, observe the dining table where each toast is primarily dedicated to the affluent...”
