Chapter 209 Not Acceptable
“Aren’t you uninterested in these matters?” With a leisurely pace, Alisha walked over and deliberately
sat down next to Finnegan with a pair of snow-white long legs deliberately swayed in front of
Finnegan.
Resisting the urge to look at the long legs, Finnegan said, “I’m not really interested in these covert
struggles. What I’m interested in is the people behind the Zymons family. Have they been up to
anything recently?”
Even though Yasmine and the others had already returned to Durbaine, Nathan had also said they had
only retreated temporarily, but they would inevitably make a comeback.
Finnegan was not afraid of the Zymons family, but he still valued Yasmine and the others from
Durbaine because their methods would drive ordinary people to despair.
Understanding Finnegan’s point, Alisha responded, “Perhaps to avoid suspicion, the people behind the
Zymons family have not taken any action. However, my grandpa and my dad have been attacked
several times in the past few days, but luckily, they were unharmed!”
“Is there no one out to kill you?”
Hearing this, Alisha pushed Finnegan and said angrily, “You jerk! Wouldn’t you be heartbroken if I really
got assassinated?”
Finnegan answered earnestly, “I wouldn’t mind!”
“You…” Alisha was truly infuriated, feeling that her charm was constantly being undermined by
Finnegan.
Luckily, she was already used to it. She snorted and said, “Well, you might be disappointed. Even if the
Zymons family is despicable, they wouldn’t dare to assassinate me. Otherwise, their remaining children
would be in danger.”
“It seems that the Zymons family also doesn’t want any trouble at this time,” Finnegan nodded. “That’s
reassuring. It means I don’t have to worry about the Zymons family targeting me for now. Then you
should rest early, I—”
Suddenly, Alisha lifted her leg, and with a swift turn, she straddled his lap.
Her hands coiled around his neck like a snake.
With eyes as enchanting as silk, her voice was coquettishly sweet. “The night is young. Would you
really leave just like this?”
Whether it was intentional or unintentional, she shifted her body slightly.
In an instant, Finnegan felt a burning sensation throughout his body, his body stiffening slightly. “What
are you doing?”
Alisha leaned in closer, blowing a breath into his ear. “I want you!”
D*mn! Finnegan knew he couldn’t hold on any longer. Alisha, the vixen, is too enchanting.
He quickly pushed her away and stood up. “In your dreams. I’ll forever be the man you can’t have.”

Alisha playfully retorted, “But I can call you my daddy.
Upon hearing that, Finnegan hurriedly quickened his pace, opened the door, and left. He really couldn’t
stand it any longer if that continued.
Alisha chuckled. “Silly Finny. It seems I’m not without charm. It’s just that you’re more capable of
resisting your urge.”
Recalling the sensation from earlier, Alisha’s face tightened. “But did he really put something in his
pants? It felt like it could kill me!”
Meanwhile, a thousand miles away in Durbaine, a hospital that ordinary people couldn’t enter and was
heavily guarded.
“Mr. Weatherby!”
“Mr. Weatherby!”
A young man with a gentle and refined demeanor strolled by, resembling a graceful nobleman. Those
who saw him greeted him with respect and courtesy.
The young man, seemingly deaf to his surroundings, continued forward, eventually finding himself in a
ward.
Inside sat Yasmine and Catherine, along with a gentle-looking old man.
Seeing him come in, Catherine was the first to stand up. “Mr. Weatherby!”
Yasmine was unable to speak. She could only nod at the man.
Yet, the old man didn’t even glance at him, holding in his hands the various medical reports of
Yasmine.
Hank showed no signs of discomfort. He nodded in response and stepped forward. “Mr. Hicks, could
you get Yasmine to speak?”
The old man was none other than the leader of the top ten miracle doctors of Loang, the president of
the Loang Medical Council, Darius.
Hearing that, he put down the documents in his hand. “Sure!”
Catherine’s face lit up with joy. “That’s great! Mr. Hicks, please hurry and treat Yasmine!”
“But I can’t.” Darius shook his head in response.
Suddenly, Catherine’s expression froze, and Yasmine, who had just shown a hint of joy, also looked
shocked. Can it be treated? But why isn’t it possible?
Hank raised an eyebrow. “Mr. Hicks, why?”
Darius stood up and said, “Ms. Snape has clearly offended someone, and that person has silenced her.
Anyone capable of such a feat doesn’t appreciate others coming to the rescue of those they’ve
disciplined. Therefore, I can’t help!”
“Are you afraid of offending someone, Mr. Hicks?”

“That’s right!”
Upon receiving Darius’ affirmative response, Hank didn’t press further. “What about my cousin,
Yuvan?”
Darius replied, “In addition to his limbs being completely useless, he has also suffered the same
acupoint stimulation. I can, but I can’t!”
Catherine frowned and stood up. “Mr. Hicks, that young man is just a-”
Hank stopped Catherine from speaking. “Mr. Hicks, I understand. Thank you.”
Darius nodded, then turned and left the ward with his hands clasped behind his back.
Catherine, puzzled, asked, “Mr. Weatherby, why won’t you let me speak? If we just let Mr. Hicks know
that offending Finnegan is no big deal, he should then treat Yasmine and Little Tyrant, right?”
It seemed as though Hank didn’t hear her words at all.
He walked over to the window and looked outside.
A moment later, just as Catherine was about to speak up again, he said lightly, “Mr. Hicks’ refusal to
treat is not because he’s worried about Finnegan’s background. It’s out of respect for a master of
medicine. No _matter what you say, it won’t make a difference.”
Catherine asked, “Should we just let Yasmine and Little Tyrant continue like this?”
Hank looked up, answering a question that wasn’t asked. “Is Finnegan’s girlfriend named Bernice?”
“Yes. Why do you ask?”
“It’s nothing. Let’s wait a little longer. I will personally go to Jadeborough to meet Finnegan!”
Catherine was taken aback. “You’re going to Jadeborough to see Finnegan personally? What makes
him worthy?”
Hank flashed a meaningful smile before turning around. “What do you think? With the Wright family’s This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
strong backing and the Langdon and Wahlstrom families treating him as an honored guest, he can be
said to have the strongest connections in Nuthana.”
Hank then continued, “So, I must meet him to see if he can be of use to me. After all, with him, my
plans in Nuthana, even in the southern region, could fall into place all at once!”
Catherine’s eyebrows knitted in distress, and she felt a bit resistant inside. Yet, she dared not object.
“What if he still doesn’t give in?”
Chuckling lightly, Hank chose not to respond further. He told Yasmine he would visit her again another
day, then left the ward.
This made Catherine inexplicably puzzled. “Why didn’t he finish the conversation?”
Only the silent Yasmine could guess what was in Hank’s mind. If Finnegan cannot be used for Hank’s
own purposes, then Finnegan must be killed.
For unknown reasons, Yasmine found herself inexplicably hoping Finnegan would not die, and that left

her utterly bewildered
Meanwhile, Darius had just left the hospital in his private car
The driver noticed Darius furrowed brows and couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Mr. Hicks, what’s
wrong? Are you also unable to treat Ms. Snape’s illness?”
Darius sighed lightly. “Of course, there’s a way. In fact, it’s easy. However, the person who attacked her
was so skilled. I don’t dare to treat her. If I did, I might get beaten up.”
Upon hearing that, the driver pondered. “Could it be?”
Darius warned, “Don’t speak of it!”
