Chapter 238 Identifying The Problem
Soon, Luther had someone convey Finnegan’s message to both families.
Yet, the attitudes of both families remained resolute, and even their lawyers’ attempts at persuasion proved futile.
“This incident has caused a lifetime of emotional trauma to my son, so no amount of money can fix it. Tell that teacher’s son to f*ck off!TM
“They think they can buy our devotion to our dear mother for fifty million? That’s simply impossible!”
“Go ahead and sue us for assault, then! Regardless, we will pursue this matter to the end!”
“There’s nothing to discuss, no amount of money will change my mind! All I want is for that woman to be jailed!
Finnegan took note of their responses in silence.
Luther bitterly smiled and said, “These two families are really stubborn!”
On the contrary, Finnegan calmed down and said, “Release them shortly, Commissioner Hawthorne won’t hold them accountable for hitting our parents.”
*Release them?”
Η
Finnegan took Bernice’s hand and walked toward the door. “That’s right; release them. Otherwise, the media will definitely distort the truth, making this marter more and more complicated, leading the public to believe that the police department is involved in some shady business.”
He paused before adding, “But warn them before you release them. Tell them that I won’t hold back if anyone dares to disturb my parents in the hospital before they are discharged!”
Having said that, Finnegan led Bernice away,
Romona and Luther said their goodbyes and followed along,
Upon reaching the back door of the police department Finnegan paused and asked, “Darling, what do you think?”
“I sense something is off! Firstly, the student only has a fracture and some scrapes, not any serious injuries. Yet, the couple’s attitude is oddly resolute. I could understand that response if they were well- off, but they’re just an average family. How could they possibly turn down five million without a second thought? Secondly, the deceased’s family showed a brief moment of hesitation upon hearing the compensation of fifty million, and then there was a hint of reluctance in their tone when they refused. Thirdly, and most importantly, these two families seem to have no connection at all, yet they are both determined to see Mr. Larkin and Mrs. Larkin go to jail. It’s as if they’ve conspired against them together!” Bernice responded softly.
She then turned toward Finnegan as she continued, “It happened to both your mom and dad at the same time. This is way too much of a coincidence.”
Finnegan flashed her a faint smile in response.

Ignoring Romona, who was standing beside him, he pinched Bernice’s cheek and said, “Could it be that they all value family more than money, Darling?”
Bernice nodded. “It’s possible. So, what do you plan to do now?”
Finnegan lowered his hand. “You should go back first. There’s no rush for this. They’re all worked up right now. Let me think it over!”
Bernice, with a delicate mind, said. “Take good care of yourself, and call me if anything comes up. No matter what you decide to do, I’ll always be there to support you!”
“All right.”
After seeing Bernice off into the car and watching her drive away, the smile on Finnegan’s face gradually faded
Standing next to him, Romona couldn’t help but shiver “Finnegan?”
Finnegan said in a cold voice, “Do you still think what happened to my parents was an accident?”
Romona asked, “Did you notice something?”
Finnegan walked ahead as he said indifferently, “Shouldn’t someone who truly values their family over money be more concerned about their son right now? Shouldn’t they be taking care of their mother’s funeral first”
Be it the parents of the student or the family of the deceased, they never showed any concern for their affected family members from the beginning till the end
Instead, they simply focused on putting Desmond and Quiana behind bars.
As night fell, Finnegan returned to General Hospital, carrying some takeout food to Desmond’s ward.
However, Desmond had no appetite.
“I’m not hungry. Is that student really okay?
Clearly, Desmond was still concerned about the student who fell from the building.
Finnegan nodded. “It’s nothing to worry about. I just asked the doctor, and he said he’s awake and can use his phone now.”
Upon hearing this, Desmond seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. “That’s good to hear. I’m glad he’s okay. With this, even if I get expelled from school, or struck off by the Department of Education, I can be at peace!”
Finnegan comforted him, “Don’t worry, Dad. There’s surveillance camera footage proving that this incident has nothing to do with you. You took his phone because the school required you to do so. It was the student himself who got agitated and climbed up to the window before falling down. The school won’t expel you, and the Department of Education won’t strike off your name either!”
With a bitter smile, Desmond said, “That would be for the best, wouldn’t it? Your mom and Rhia don’t know about this matter, do they?” Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Hesitant, Finnegan decided not to tell Desmond about right away. “I was worried they would be anxious, so I brought Mom back to Dragon Bay in advance to avoid contact with people from the school. Rhia has gone on a business trip with Ms. Hainowitz and I’m not sure when she’ll be back!”
Desmond didn’t suspect a thing. He nodded and said. “It’s good they don’t know if you have things to do, then go ahead and do it. I’m not that fussy”
“Get some rest, then”
Finnegan left and headed over to Quiana’s ward, only to run into the Casper family right at the doorstep.
Jenna hurriedly grabbed Finnegan’s hand and said, “Finnegan, I just went to the school looking for your mom and heard that both your mom and your dad are in the hospital. What’s going on? Is the rumor
true
Finnegan, still surprised by their arrival, suddenly regained his composure and said, “Mdm. Dickson, that’s just a rumor.”
He then roughly explained the situation, but he didn’t mention that it could be a setup.

In the end, he reminded, “However, my dad doesn’t know yet, and I hope that when my mom you will not mention it to my mom when she wakes up, Mdm. Dickson. I don’t want them worrying about each other.”
Jenna relaxed significantly after hearing that. “You scared me! So, it was an accident? Let’s go see you mom first, then we can check on your dad later.”
As Josephine passed by Finnegan, she hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Her eyes held a hint of melancholy.
Finnegan saw all of these, but he acted as if he didn’t see it.
He greeted Casper, asking, “How are things at the clinic?
When this matter came up. Casper laughed and said, “Shaun and the others have spread the word according to your wishes. Now, more than half of Jadeborough knows that Hopevale Medical Clinic offers free medical consultations. I guess there will be quite a show to watch tomorrow!”
“Liam brought this upon himself. Let’s just sit back and enjoy the show tomorrow,” Finnegan said.
Soon after Casper entered the sickroom, Finnegan descended the stairs and arrived in the garden.
Alisha sashayed over, drawing the attention of many men.
Yet Finnegan didn’t even glance at her, casually plucking a withered leaf from the tree as he asked, “Is everything arranged?”
“I had people watching those two families as soon as they were released from the police department. Even the number of times they go to the bathroom has been noted for you. I’m puzzled, though. If you suspect they’re up to something, why not just apprehend them and question them directly?” Alisha replied.
Finnegan crushed the withered yellow leaves into dust as he said, “The person behind this recent act is quite cunning. I suspect they’re the same one who targeted Rhia last night. Any action against such a person would only alert them, so let’s wait for now.”

Furrowing her brows, Alisha asked, “Until when do we have to wait?”

Finnegan spread his hand, letting the fragments of the leaf scatter with the wind. “Let’s wait for these two matters to cool down, until the media’s attention decreases, and until the mastermind behind the scenes lets his guard down!”
If not for these reasons, he would have long since brought the two families in and subjected them to severe interrogation, demanding to know who could have driven them to such heartlessness, to the point where they could even sacrifice their own kin.
