Chapter 219 The Message
“My child, you scared me to death! Thank you so much, young man. You are truly our family’s lifesaver!”
The middle-aged woman was the first to react, immediately kneeling before Finnegan.
The scene was filled with enthusiastic applause and praise. “The young doctor is impressive!”
Finnegan helped her to her feet.
“Ma’am, a child’s windpipe is not fully developed and can easily get blocked. Please be careful when feeding them in the future, or else it could lead to trouble.”
The middle-aged woman nodded repeatedly. “I understand. It won’t happen again in the future.”
With a nod, Finnegan said,
The child was rescued, and the middle-aged woman had no objections. She quickly went over to Yuliana
to pay.
Although Millicent was
her complexion still didn’t look good. “Finnegan…”
No sooner had she started to speak than a few of the patients who had pushed their way forward shoved
her aside.
“Even the renowned Dr. Magnussen couldn’t diagnose it, but you managed to cure it. It seems you really are a skilled doctor!”
“My leg has been hurting and swollen for quite a few days now, and I’ve taken quite a bit of medicine. Could you please take a look, young man?”
“And my head, it’s been feeling so heavy these past few days. It’s like I have absolutely no energy.”
Seeing all the patients who were originally seeking treatment from Jerome turning to him, Finnegan couldn’t help but smile. “Don’t rush. One at a time. You can also go see Mr. Magnussen. I can’t handle everyone by myself.”
Seeing Finnegan sitting down as if nothing had happened, ready to see his next patient, Millicent, who had just been slapped, shouted angrily, “Finnegan, do you still treat me as your elder? No matter what, I am still Bernice’s grandmother. You slapped me. Don’t you think you owe me an explanation? Also, you’re simply not good enough for Bernice. I demand you break up with her immediately!”
That booming voice instantly hushed the crowd.
Finnegan raised his eyebrows as he looked at Millicent.
“Can’t you see I’m about to see a patient? If you can wait, then wait. If you can’t, then get lost. Say one more word and I’ll take action.”
Finnegan certainly wouldn’t indulge such a snobbish old woman who looked down on people.
Moreover, Millicent was not even Bernice’s biological grandmother.

She just wanted to use Bernice to gain benefits for her own son’s family.
Millicent was getting impatient, but Queenie held her back once again. “Grandma, don’t bother arguing with such an uncultured person. Besides, there aren’t many patients left. Let’s wait until he’s done.”
If Finnegan really takes action against us again, it will be embarrassing.
With a huff, Millicent took a seat on the chair that Timothy had pulled over for her.
Let’s see just how capable Finnegan really is.
Finnegan beckoned the patient to come over and sit down, ready to start the diagnosis and treatment.
“You’re suffering from gout and rheumatism, and it’s been over a decade. I’m going to perform acupuncture on you now. After that, you’ll need to take a few rounds of medication. You should be fully recovered in a week.”
“Your headache is due to chronic insomnia, which has resulted in neuralgia. I’ll prescribe you some medication to calm your nerves and aid sleep. Once your sleep pattern is adjusted, you should naturally
recover
“Majam, your current condition is a result of not properly taking care of yourself after childbirth. I will perform acupuncture on you now, and afterward, you should take several doses of traditional medicine, Continue this treatment for seven days and you should be fine.”
“This isn’t allergic dermatitis you’re dealing with, but dermatomycosis. I’ll treat you with anti- inflammatory measures and acupuncture. There’s no need for medication, and you’ll be healed in three days.”
Next, Finnegan demonstrated extraordinary medical skills, completing the diagnosis and treatment of a patient in just a few minutes on average.
Upon seeing this, the patients who originally sought Finnegan for saving the child were astounded. “My goodness, this young doctor is a miracle worker! I’ve never seen anyone treat illnesses so quickly.”
The patient who had just been treated for gout and rheumatism chimed in, “Absolutely, he’s a miracle doctor. You know, I’ve been troubled by this problem for years, and I’ve spent tens of thousands on treatments and medications to no avail. But after this young doctor performed acupuncture on me, I can’t feel the pain anymore.”
Upon hearing the experiences of these treated patients, those who were originally queuing for Jerome all rushed over.
“Take a look at me too!”
Millicent, Timothy, and Queenie were all dumbfounded.
How could this happen? ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Is his medical skill really that good?
How can treating a patient be easier than drinking water?
Millicent’s expression shifted before she stood up. “Let’s go!”
She stepped out first.
Timothy and Queenie caught up. “Grandma, why are you leaving? Weren’t you going to make Finnegan and Bernice break up? And he just slapped you. Are we just going to let that slide?”
Touching her still-aching face, Millicent gritted her teeth and said, “Of course we can’t let it slide. But this d*mn kid is in the limelight right now. If we keep bothering him, we risk angering the crowd. It’s not worth it.”
Reflecting on those patients who had referred to Finnegan as the young miracle doctor, the Zimmerman siblings found themselves humbled and in awe.
Turning her head back, Millicent glanced at Jerome Medical Clinic and said, “And that kid dared to slap me. It shows that he won’t break up with Bernice. We need to think of another way.”
Queenie asked, “What other options do we have? Bernice simply won’t listen to you.”

After some thought, Millicent said, “Let’s discuss this when we get back. But we absolutely cannot let your grandfather know that we came looking for Finnegan.”
Bruce had somewhat changed his opinion about Finnegan.
If he were to find out that Finnegan could cure diseases and was even being called a young miracle doctor, there was no telling if he would reject Liam directly.
Finnegan finished seeing patients shortly after the three left.
Only then did he realize they had already left. “When did they leave?”
He had been thinking of teaching Millicent a lesson after all the patients had left to vent some anger on behalf of Bernice.
Casper laughed and said, “They left when you were seeing patients earlier. They didn’t look so good.”
“That old hag got the message.” Finnegan stretched lazily. “If there weren’t any patients around, I would have knocked all her teeth out.”
“Finnegan, were those Ms. Zimmerman’s grandmother and cousins we just met?”
Finnegan said playfully, “It seems so.”
In terms of blood relation, Millicent was not Bernice’s biological grandmother.
Casper curled his lip and said, “Ms. Zimmerman is such a good person. How could she have such relatives? Finnegan, why don’t you consider my sister instead? You wouldn’t have to worry about dealing with such difficulties!”
The conversation naturally led to this matter.
Finnegan chuckled and retorted, “Get lost. I’m going to marry Bernie in the future, not her relatives. As long as Bernie isn’t that kind of person, it’s all good.”
To avoid Casper making any more startling remarks, Finnegan stood up at the right moment.

“There shouldn’t be many patients coming up next. I’ll go out for a stroll.”
Just as he stepped out, he noticed seven or eight cars approaching from the opposite direction.
There was a van, and a truck loaded with construction materials.
Leading the way was an MPV worth millions.
As the car door swung open, Hailey stepped out, her face unnaturally pale.
She gave Finnegan a complicated look, then turned to the people getting out of the van. “This is the place. Let’s get to work!”
That was a group of construction workers. After hearing Hailey’s words, they opened the doors of the three interconnected shops across the street and then began to move the items from the truck into the
shops.
Seeing this, Finnegan patted Casper on the shoulder. “Call me if there’s need anything. I’m off for a walk!”
