The Mischievous Doctor (Finnegan and Nuthana) novel Chapter 15

The Miles residence was about three hundred meters away from the Zimmerman residence. It was a much bigger mansion.

“That b*stard dared to mess with me. I'll get my revenge sooner or later.”

On the journey home, Sasha was venting her anger and cursing non-stop.

Knowing Sasha's spoiled personality, Trey did not say anything.

“So, did you get an answer?”

As soon as they entered the mansion, their mother, Kathleen Wagner, anxiously greeted them.

Sasha sneered, “Mom, it turns out we were overthinking things. It was just luck that Bernice woke up. No expert was involved.”

“What happened?” she queried.

Trey briefly explained the situation with Finnegan but intentionally left out the conflict between Sasha and him.

After hearing this, Kathleen's expression turned gloomy. “I guess we really were overthinking things. A young man in his twenties is unlikely to be an expert. We'll still have to rely on Dr. Cooper and the others.”

“Is Dr. Cooper here?” Trey asked.

Kathleen nodded. “He came shortly after both of you left for the Zimmerman residence. He brought along several specialists from the hospital. They are trying to stabilize your father's condition.”

“I wonder if there will be any improvements,” Trey uttered.

Ten minutes later, the door opened; Alexander walked out with several medical specialists.

Kathleen hurriedly went up to them with her children beside her. “Dr. Cooper, how is Gilbert's condition?”

The doctor replied, “His old injury is in his heart and chest. He was fine when he was young, but his condition worsened as he aged. According to current medical methods, it cannot be cured. Unfortunately, we can only delay the time of deterioration. But even with this delay...”

He sighed before continuing, “I estimate he won't be able to last more than a month.”

Kathleen suddenly felt dizzy. “Dr. Cooper, Gilbert has to stay alive. He is the pillar of the Miles family!”

Alexander replied, “If it were possible, we would certainly do our best to help. After all, Mr. Miles is also important to Jadeborough. But in his current condition, we really are powerless.”

“Is there no one else who can treat him?”

After thinking for a while, Alexander replied, “If the President of Loang Medical Council, Darius Hicks, or Jerome Magnussen, one of the top ten divine doctors in Loang, were to assist, there might still be a chance.”

Upon hearing this, Kathleen smiled bitterly and said, “Dr. Cooper, I've heard that even the richest family in Nuthana couldn't get Mr. Hicks' help. We, the Miles family, definitely can't convince him to come either. As for Mr. Magnussen, we have already tried to hire him, but he refused and said that he has retired from medicine and is no longer practicing.”

Sasha asked, “Dr. Cooper, are there no other options besides Mr. Hicks and Mr. Magnussen? Can we send my dad abroad for treatment instead?”

At first, Alexander wanted to say that there were no other options.

However, when the words were about to come out of his mouth, he suddenly thought of Finnegan. He couldn't help but clap his hands and exclaim, “I almost forgot! There's still someone else you could try asking. It's Finnegan Larkin, the one who cured Ms. Zimmerman. Although I didn't see how he treated her, I learned about the treatment details from Mrs. Zimmerman afterward. He is a master whose skills are far superior to what his age suggests. You can go to the Zimmerman family to find him; they can get in touch with him.”

After saying this, Alexander noticed that Sasha's expression stiffened while Trey and Kathleen frowned.

He couldn't help but ask, “What's wrong?”

Kathleen glanced at her children and said, “Dr. Cooper, thank you for tonight. We will go to the Zimmerman family to find him later.”

“It's no trouble at all; it's our duty as doctors. We will come back tomorrow!” he replied.

The woman smiled. “We should definitely be nicer to him. Even if he cannot become our son-in-law, it's still worth our extra efforts.”

She felt that the man had hidden talents and that he was not what he appeared to be.

Of course, Finnegan was unaware of Patrick and Jennifer's discussion about him. He walked with Bernice for a while and stopped when they were only a few dozen meters away from the entrance of Xendale. “Ms. Zimmerman, you can head home now. Go back and rest early.”

Bernice asked, “Did your blind date go well today?”

Puzzled by her question, Finnegan replied, “I have no feelings for Rhia. I only agreed to meet her to appease my parents.”

“Then what kind of girl do you like?” Her question once again puzzled the man.

He did not understand Bernice's intention. “Someone who gets along with me, allows me to be comfortable with her, and is suitable.”

Astonished by his response, Bernice clarified, “Don't you have any requirements for figure, appearance, and education?”

“Good looks are a bonus but not necessary. Education doesn't represent a person's character. Therefore, someone who shares the same values as me and clicks with me is sufficient for me,” Finnegan explained.

The woman continued to inquire, “Do you think matching family backgrounds is important?”

Although he felt that her questions were strange, he still patiently replied, “Matching family backgrounds is important because only people from similar social classes speak the same language. Things like the prince and the maid or the princess and the farmer only exist in fairy tales. In reality, both parties must be of similar social status to be compatible!”

Bernice's eyes dimmed as she felt inexplicably dejected.

“Not bad; at least you know your place. You understand that there is a gap between social classes!”

Sasha, who had been waiting for Finnegan to leave the Zimmerman residence, walked over with a proud expression.
