The Mischievous Doctor (Finnegan and Nuthana) novel Chapter 270

Chapter 270 Not The Best Company

That evening, as Finnegan and Rhiannon were leaving Quiana’s hospital room to go to Bennett

Farmhouse, they unexpectedly encountered Melinda and Qahira.

“Finny!” Melinda called out as they exited the hospital,

Despite looking worn out, the two women brightened up at the sight of Finnegan, and they eagerly approached him.

Man, this sucks. Finnegan, though displeased, responded coolly, “Aunt Melinda, Aunt Qahira.”

Rhiannon followed suit with a polite but distant greeting, “Aunt Melinda, Aunt Qahira.”

She then tugged at Finnegan’s arm, trying to hasten their departure. “Finn, we should get going. Nancy

was asking about us just now.”

“Finny, just a moment,” Melinda interjected, stepping in their path.

“A moment, Finny,” Qahira implored, “Your aunt and I need to talk to you.”

Finnegan, already anticipating their request, cut them off, “Aunt Melinda, Aunt Qahira, we might share

some family ties, but beyond that, we’re practically strangers. Please, no more of this.”

He added firmly, “Don’t drag my parents into this. It’s not going to work and only makes me resent you more.”

With that, he took Rhiannon by the hand and left, ignoring Melinda and Qahira’s sour expressions.

Finnegan wasn’t one to respond to ill-will with kindness; sparing them was mercy enough in his eyes.

“Finnegan, wait!” Qahira pleaded, “Even if you can’t help, could you lend us some money? Or maybe

talk to the hospital about our bills?”

Melinda joined in, “Exactly! You’re the hospital’s special consultant; you have influence here. Dr.

Cooper respects you. Just a word from you, and we might not have to pay. We can’t afford this; our

families will be ruined. Can you bear to see that happen?”

Finnegan’s brow creased slightly, feigning deafness as he hastened his steps, ushering Rhiannon with noveldram him.

Witnessing Finnegan’s apparent indifference and “lack of gratitude,” Melinda returned to her true

nature, bitterly exclaiming, “This ungrateful wretch, utterly heartless! How can he be so cruel to his own

family!”

Qahira, blind to her own faults, cursed, “It’s unbelievable! How can someone so vile be so successful? I

can’t stand it!”

Melinda, her voice tinged with resentment, suggested, “If we can’t stomach it, we need to find a way to

bring him down, make sure he can’t keep looking down on us.”

Qahira’s interest was piqued when she heard this. “Is there actually a way?”

“There’s no plan right now. But I’ll talk it over with Adrian and the rest. We’ve got to deal with that d*mned jerk,” Melinda resolved.

Finnegan, oblivious to their scheming as he had already departed, took taxi with Rhiannon.

Concurrently, he contacted Shaun and the others, directing them to Bennett Farmhouse.

After Finnegan ended the call, Rhiannon queried of him, “Finn, considering what just happened, do you

think Aunt Melinda and the others might have changed?”

To this, Finnegan offered a word of caution, “Always keep in mind, a leopard doesn’t change its spots.”

Rhiannon, reflecting on the behavior of her uncles’ families, concurred with Finnegan’s viewpoint. “That

does sound like them, snobbish and always quick to trample on others. What if they keep causing

trouble, though?”

Rhiannon couldn’t help but feel a bit concerned. Desmond and Quiana had changed their perspective

on Melinda’s family, recognizing their true nature.

Yet, there was still a sense of familial bond that lingered, which made Rhiannon somewhat uneasy.

A brief, icy flash flickered in Finnegan’s eyes before it vanished. “They better not start anything again.

Even if Mom and Dad don’t see it, I won’t let them get away with it!” he declared.

Sensing that Finnegan’s words were somewhat stern, Rhiannon smoothly shifted the conversation.

“Oh, and it’s Mr. Sanchez’s birthday today. I hope it’s fine we didn’t bring a gift?”
