The Mischievous Doctor (Finnegan and Nuthana) novel Chapter 48

Half an hour later, Finnegan retracted all the silver needles with his palm.

“Get up and see how it feels!”

At that, Cadmus and Benjamin hastily stepped forward to help Winston up from the bed.

However, the latter waved a hand and declined their help. “No, it's okay. I can get up by myself.”

Following that, he flipped over and sat up on the bed. His movements were so agile that he did not look the least bit like an elderly man who was already in his eighties. Instead, he was even more sprightly than the average sixty-year-old person.

Upon witnessing that scene, the members of the Haimowitz family were all over the moon. Benjamin was so thrilled that he could not help asking, “How do you feel, Dad?”

Winston put on his shoes and got to his feet. He punched the air with both hands and kicked his legs out a few times.

After doing that, he guffawed, unbelievably energetic. “I feel like I've gone back in time by twenty years! You're really a miracle doctor, Mr. Larkin!”

Whirling around, he bowed low to Finnegan. “You're the Haimowitz family's esteemed guest henceforth, Mr. Larkin. Just say the word if you need anything.”

Cadmus and the others thanked Finnegan as well.

Subsequently, Finnegan wrote a prescription and handed it to Winston. “While signs of your body's aging have stopped, you still need the supplement of traditional medicine for a strong constitution. If you wake up early every day and do some exercises, that'll extend your lifespan even further.”

“I'll definitely do as you say, Mr. Larkin!”

A brief pause ensued before Finnegan added, “Also, the younger generation can take care of themselves. I think you should give them an opportunity to train and grow. Otherwise, they'll never improve if they're used to your presence. Even if you can live to a hundred, wouldn't there be no point then?”

Winston had always been worried that his descendants were not capable enough. He was one of the few among the top ten wealthiest families in Jadeborough who had yet to retire despite being over eighty years old.

There was a tremendous correlation between him showing signs of imminent death and remaining weighed down with work in his old age.

Winston's expression froze for a moment before he turned his gaze to his sons and grandson, who all had guilt etched across their features.

Chuckling wryly, he admitted, “You're right, Mr. Larkin. Since I'm old, I should retire and enjoy life. I can't always remain in front of the younger generation to shield them from all trials and tribulations. That will only hinder their growth instead.”

After his near brush with death, he had come to terms with things. He proceeded to declare, “Notify all major shareholders about a meeting next Monday. It's time for me to step down and hand Pentariver Group to you all!”

“We'll never disappoint you! Just enjoy your golden years in peace,” Cadmus and the others vowed abashedly.

Having accepted one hundred million as a token of appreciation and declined Winston's invitation to stay for lunch, Finnegan took his leave.

Winston and the rest of the Haimowitz family solemnly walked him and Bernice to the door.

No sooner did Winston notice that Finnegan came over in Bernice's car than an idea flashed across his mind, and he queried, “You don't have a car yet, do you, Mr. Larkin?”

At that question, slight embarrassment swept over Finnegan. “I don't have a driving license yet.”

Everyone who had reached eighteen years old in the current era basically had a driving license. Unfortunately, he could not drive yet as he had been deep in the mountains for five years.

In response, Winston chortled. “It'll undoubtedly be a piece of cake for you to obtain a driving license when you're a prodigy, Mr. Larkin! Besides, someone like you doesn't need to drive yourself. You can just hire a driver.”

Then, he turned and said to Cadmus, “Go and drive the car you gave me early this year here for Mr. Larkin as a gift. It's a waste for it to gather dust in the garage anyway.”
