A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 291 Suffer A Double Loss

All along, Finnegan knew something was amiss.

That was why, after arriving at the Zimmerman residence, Finnegan was constantly on guard around

Millicent and her group. Therefore, when they offered him a toast, he deliberately agreed, using it as an

excuse to drink more/

He simply wanted to see what kind of scheme they were really up to.

However, he never expected that this was their plan.

All along, their plan was to get Queenie to sleep with Finnegan and snatch him away from Bernice.

That was not just despicable. It was downright maniacal.

Queenie was shocked. “You’re not drunk?”

“What do you think?” Finnegan found women like Queenie, who clearly didn’t want to but still bowed

their heads in compromise, both pitiable and detestable.

In an instant, Queenie understood it all. “You never believed that my grandma and the others would

sincerely apologize to you, did you? You’ve been wary of us from the start? Even pretending to be

drunk to

test us?”

Finnegan reached out and turned on the bedside lamp.

The sudden brightness made Queenie blush deeply, and she quickly shielded herself with one hand.

With a meaningful glance, Finnegan realized that he and Queenie were almost touching each other.

A playful smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth. “Since you already know, why aren’t you hurrying

down? You should be aware that even if you sit on me now, it’s pointless. I won’t mistake my

drunkenness for having slept with you!”

In other words, even if Queenie continued to dedicate herself, she wouldn’t get what she desired.

Instead, it would result in the needless sacrifice of her body.

Despite a moment’s hesitation, Queenie still showed no intention of leaving.

Instead, she lowered her hand and said, “Finnegan, I’m no worse than Bernice. If you can accept

Bernice, why can’t you accept me? I think I’m better than Bernice!”

As she spoke, Queenie lay on Finnegan’s body. Despite her obvious nervousness, she feigned calm.

“Besides, it’s clear that you have feelings for me. Why keep denying it?”

And having Queenie lying on top of him like that, it would be a lie if Finnegan said he didn’t enjoy it.

However, his gaze remained clear. “What gives you the confidence to think you’re better than my wife?

You can’t even match her in terms of self-respect and self-love. She knows how to refuse unreasonable

demands, something you can’t do! As for having feelings for you…”

Chapter 291 Suffer A Double LoSS

Finnegan wrapped his arms tightly around Queenie’s waist.

With a mischievous smile, he said, “Isn’t this a normal reaction for a normal man? But for me, you’re

just someone who can trigger my primal instincts, nothing more!”

With that, Finnegan swung his arm. trying to free himself from Queenie’s grip. But Queenie, still intent

on restraining Finnegan, let out a sharp scream as she tumbled to the ground.

The carpet on the ground prevented her from getting hurt from the fall.

Yet, that only served to infuriate and embarrass her. “Finnegan. I didn’t expect you to pretend to be

drunk. But what do you think would happen to you and Bernice if I were to shout right now?”

Finnegan sat up, looking at Queenie with interest. “Are you trying to threaten me?”

“So what if I threaten you?” Queenie knew that the plan of sleeping with him could no longer continue.

but she had a new plan. “Now, if Bernice comes in and sees this, do you think she will believe you or

me?”

Finnegan nodded. “That seems about right. If you were to shout now, ninety-nine percent of people

would probably think I have ill intentions toward you. But…”

With that. Finnegan picked up his phone from the side and showed the screen to Queenie. “I had the

foresight to start recording on my phone before you walked in. Do you still think you can stir up trouble

between me and Bernie?”

Seeing the recording symbol on the screen, Queenie, who originally planned to threaten Finnegan,

suddenly changed her expression. Instinctively, she rushed toward Finnegan. “Give me your phone!”

If Finnegan were to expose the recording, she would be completely ruined, and Millicent and her group

would also be subjected to ridicule.

After all, they actually encouraged her to seduce Bernice’s man.

With a cold laugh, Finnegan switched off the recording Lifting his leg, he kicked Queenie, sending her

sprawling on the ground.

Obviously, a frail girl couldn’t possibly withstand a kick from Finnegan.

Queenie grunted and fell to the ground, clutching his stomach, gasping for air but unable to exhale. His

forehead was instantly drenched in cold sweat.

Tossing his phone on the bed. Finnegan squatted down in front of her, patting her face gently. “You

clearly don’t want to, yet you still listen to your grandma and the others. You really don’t deserve any

sympathy! Since it’s come to this, I have no choice but to beat you at your own game. You’ll learn what

it means to suffer a double loss and what it means to suffer a silence.”

Queenie’s face turned pale as she tried to call for help, but Finnegan had already sealed her mute

acupoint, rendering her unable to make a sound.

At that moment, Queenie completely panicked, shaking her head incessantly.

She wouldn’t mind sleeping with Finnegan, but that was only if she could benefit from it afterward.

However, it was clear to her that she could no longer gain anything from Finnegan.

her on so easily.

Grabbing her by the hair, he headed toward the bathroom. “Don’t worry. I’m just going to teach you a

little lesson. I won’t take your life.”

With a thud, the bathroom door closed, leaving only a vague view of the pair through the frosted glass

door.

That went on for nearly half an hour, and the sound of the shower came from the bathroom.

A few minutes passed, and Finnegan emerged, wiping his body with a towel. Behind him, sitting on the

floor, was Queenie, her eyes filled with tears and her face etched with humiliation.

Dressed in his clothes, Finnegan turned his head to look at her.

A faint smirk played at the corner of his mouth. “You’ve learned your lesson now, haven’t you? This is

what they call suffering a double loss. And you’d better keep your mouth shut. That’s what they call

suffering in silence!”

With that, Finnegan gave a hearty laugh, opened the door, and walked out.

As soon as he did that, he saw Sapphire standing sneakily to one side.

Seeing him emerge, Sapphire immediately put on a smiling face. “Have you sobered up?”

While speaking, she kept glancing around the room out of the corner of her eyes, but due to the angle,

she couldn’t see anything.

Finnegan said playfully, “Youngsters sober up quickly, so I’ll take my leave first. Once Bernie finishes

chatting with Old Mr. Zimmerman, could you please let her know that I’ve left?”

“All right! Take care on your way, and visit more often!” Sapphire thought that Queenie had already

succeeded, so she enthusiastically escorted Finnegan to the staircase.

After watching him go downstairs, she quickly ran to the room, only to find Queenie sitting on the

bathroom floor, completely disheveled and naked.

Sapphire widened her eyes in surprise. “D*mn! Finnegan is really wild. Did you guys do it in the

bathroom? But it doesn’t matter where, as long as you succeed.”

It seemed that those words had provoked Queenie. She jumped up and pushed Sapphire, shouting,

“Get out! Just get out! I told you this wasn’t right, but you just wouldn’t listen. Now look what’s

happened, huh? I’ve suffered a double loss!”

With a slam, the bathroom door closed, and the crying began.

Sapphire anxiously asked, “Queenie, what’s wrong? Haven’t you and Finnegan already slept

together?”

Queenie shouted, “Get lost! We didn’t! We didn’t! Finnegan pretended to be drunk, and he knows

everything now. Just get out!”

What? Sapphire’s face turned pale. “Then why are you

“Get lost!” Before Sapphire could finish her sentence, Queenie interrupted her with a shout.

Fearing that Bruce and Bernice might overhear, and with things still not entirely clear, Sapphire said,

“I’ll step out for now, Calm yourself and come to our room afterward.”

“Go away! Go away!”
