Chapter 10 You Are Sick
“Finn! Over here!” Rhiannon waved at Finnegan in front of the Porsche store.
Finnegan walked over and gently knocked against the back of her head. “You’re such a troublemaker.”
“Excuse me?” Rhiannon chuckled and linked her arm with his. “My senior is simply amazing, and she
developed a good impression of you when she learned that you’d rescued a damsel in distress. I’m just
helping you win over a beauty. How does that make me a troublemaker?”
“I’m not interested!” Finnegan replied..
Rhiannon added, “Finn, Ms. Lindsey is around five and a half feet tall and stunningly beautiful with fair
skin and long legs, not to mention she earns a salary in the millions, making hier a legitimate wealthy
woman. Do you have any idea how many men have fallen for her? You should be thankful that she has
taken an interest in you.”
“I’m
not interested,” Finnegan reiterated what he said earlier.
“Go ahead and keep putting up a tough front. I’d love to see your reaction when you meet her later.”
Rhiannon led him to the manager’s office, where Finnegan finally met Lindsey Jennings.
Lindsey’s appearance indeed matched Rhiannon’s description.
Her suit fitted her perfectly, accentuating her upper torso, while the tight uniform skirt hugged her figure,
revealing her curves. Her long legs, wrapped in black stockings, were absolutely stunning. Her
shoulder-length hair, which was dyed a soft coffee color, had been styled into voluminous waves, giving
her an air of maturity.
Despite being only twenty-four years old, she exuded the dominating aura of a mature woman that was
enhanced by her tall stature.
Nonetheless, Finnegan noticed something was amiss. “You’re sick!” NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Rhiannon, who was about to introduce him to Lindsey, staggered backward upon hearing that. “What
are you talking about, Finn?”
Lindsey was about to stand up. Her l*ps twitched.
She had heard Rhiannon mention Finnegan several times. She knew he had excellent grades and
character and had a reputation for being a reliable source of help for women in distress. All of that had
left a positive impression on Lindy That was why she was willing to meet up with Finnegan to see if
they were compauble with each other.

lowever, as soon
across a man like that before.
She was a little disappointed with the man standing before her.
“She’s sick,” Finnegan repeated in a serious tone
“Finn, stop it,” Rhiannon said as she rubbed her head, not knowing how to ease the tension in
the room.
Lindsey quickly regained her composure before walking up to them. She smiled and asked, “You must
be Rhiannon’s brother, the hero with a reputation for helping women in trouble. What kind of illness do
you think I have?”
Finnegan caught a hint of disappointment in her expression. Obviously, she had taken
offense at his remark.
He pretended not to notice since he knew she was a senior who had taken good care of Rhiannon. He
explained, “There’s a small soft lump, about the size of a thumb, on the left side of your b*dy. The
doctor might have told you it’s just a l*poma, but in fact, it’s at malignant tumor that can’t be detected
through diagnostic scanners. The only way to get the results is by removing it for testing.”
“Please stop, Finn. I promise to stop introducing you to girls, okay?” Rhiannon pleaded.
She had thought Finnegan was deliberately trying to sabotage their blind date by saying something that
would make Lindsey feel repulsed.
Lindsey’s expression changed when she heard what he said. She placed her hand over her chest and
asked, “How did you know?”
She did have a small lump in her upper chest area. The doctor who conducted a medical checkup on
her had told her it was just a l*poma that would disappear on its own.
That was why she had not been bothered by its existence and had told no one about it.
Rhiannon was stupefied. “Ms. Lindsey, are you serious?”
The color drained out of Lindsey’s face. “Yeah. I noticed a small lump six months ago, but the doctor
said there was nothing to worry about”
Rhiannon immediately grabbed Finnegan’s hand. “Finn, is it really malignant? Does that mean Ms.
Lindsey has to get her left breast removed?”
Finnegan replied, “Typically, it’ll need to be regved. However, given her condition, even if the tumor has
been removed, she might only have six months to live”

It must be difficult for a woman, especially one who valued her physical appearance, to undergo
surgery to remove an important part of her b*dy.
Moreover, having the malignant tumor removed would not increase her chances of survival.
Lindsey was utterly flustered and overwhelmed by the news. “Rhia, let’s reschedule my date with your
brother to another day. I need to go to the hospital first.”
Rhiannon turned to Finnegan and asked, “Finn, can you do something about the lump since you
noticed it?”
Lindsey, who was in the middle of packing her things before leaving for the hospital, turned around. “Is
your brother a doctor?”
Rhiannon nodded in agreement. “He’s quite capable. He even managed to fix my dad’s distorted bones
and told him he could be on his feet in no time.”
Finnegan, who merely intended to warn Lindsey about the lump, could not help but give Rhiannon a
wry smile. “You’re just giving me extra work to do.”
Lindsey’s eyes glistened. “Finnegan, will you be able to get rid of the lump if it truly is malignant?”
Rhiannon shook his arm. “Finn, Ms. Lindsey has taken great care of me. You must help her.”
Unable to resist his sister’s persuasion, Finnegan said, “I can provide the treatment, and I can a*sure
you that there’ll be no need to go through any surgery to remove anything, nor will there be any scars.
However, after the treatment, you should take the soft lump to the hospital for testing to confirm if it’s
malignant.”
He believed that even after treatment, Lindsey would still live in fear if the tumor’s nature was not
confirmed to be benign or malignant.
His a*surance dispelled some of Lindsey’s doubts. “Please tell me what I need to do. I’ll do anything to
cooperate with you.”
“Rhia, go out and take care of the store,” Finnegan instructed.
“Sure!” After Rhiannon left, he closed the door and all the blinds.
He then picked up a fruit knife and said, “Remove your clothes, including your undergarment. I’ll
remove the lump and use acupuncture and traditional medicine to treat the wound and kill the tumor
cells. You should be able to fully recover after that.”
Lindsey hesitated. What did he just say?
Although she had faith in Finnegan, she could not help but worry when he said he would use
34
a small fruit knife to remove the lump.
Besides that, for someone who had never been in a relationship, undressing in front of a man could be
a daunting task that was difficult to overcome mentally.
Upon noticing her hesitation, Finnegan suggested, “Alternatively, you can go to the hospital to undergo
the procedure before coming to me for treatment.”
“It’s all right. Let’s do this now,” she said, dispelling her last hesitation at the thought of doctors piercing
her b*dy with needles.
She bit her l*p and blushed as she untied her suit and unbuttoned the shirt inside, revealing her black
bra and ample cleavage.
Finnegan, who had already seen Bernice n*ked, still felt uncomfortable when someone bared it all
before him. He cleared his throat and looked away, his face turning red.
Noticing the embarra*sed look on his face, Lindsey felt more at ease and lowered her guard. After
taking a deep breath, she proceeded to reveal the last piece of garment on her upper
torso.
Lindsey kept her eyes shut and gripped the corners of her skirt. “I’m done!”
Finnegan turned around and cleared his throat before approaching her. “I will administer acupuncture
to alleviate the pain and prevent bleeding, so you won’t feel anything when I make the incision. Just try
to relax a bit.”
Lindsey let out a soft, breathy sound of agreement, making Finnegan feel even more uncomfortable.
Finnegan’s l*ps twitched. Can you not make that kind of sound?
Biting the tip of his tongue to steady himself, he took out a few gold needles and swiftly inserted them
around the affected area on Lindsey’s b*dy. Lindsey emitted another soft hum from her nose, but
Finnegan could not tell if she was in pain.
This woman is one of a kind. How will her future husband resist her if she makes sounds like that?
