The Healing Avenger novel Chapter 87

A light drizzle began to fall.

Bennett Farmhouse was a family farmhouse transformed from an old residential dwelling.

Furthermore, there were self-raised livestock and homegrown green vegetables, and a winding river surrounded the farmhouse.

Stephen led the group and arrived at the farmhouse. “Don't be fooled by this place's shabby appearance; the owner is a superb cook.” Here, he lowered his voice and continued, “To be honest, my grandpa secretly visits this place at least several times every year. He would order the roasted suckling pig whenever he visited. Even if he didn't visit, he would also pre-order it and have his family collect it to enjoy at home.”

Inhaling the charcoal-grilled aroma that permeated the air, Finnegan exclaimed, “It's a nice place indeed!”

“Dr. Larkin, please have a seat in the gazebo by the river with Mr. Tree. Jace and I will order some finger food to go with the drinks.”

Finnegan and Logan nodded and went to the gazebo by the river. From there, they could see over a dozen makeshift fishing platforms along the riverbank.

However, no one was fishing due to the late hour and the light rain.

In fact, there were no other guests except them.

Logan took a deep breath, savoring the moment. “This makes me feel like I've returned to those three months,” he said.

Two years ago, while on a mission, he was severely injured by a mysterious Grandmaster, causing him to be in critical condition.

Hence, Reynard sent Logan to be treated by Finnegan for three months. During that period, Logan and Finnegan spent almost every day in a similarly serene and quiet environment.

Finnegan teased, “If you like this feeling, just go to my place and live in seclusion. It happens to be vacant now.”

“Forget it.” Logan chuckled bitterly and said, “Back then, I felt so bored, even with your company. If I were to stay there on my own, I might lose my mind within a month.”

At that, he looked at Finnegan in admiration. “I heard you lived there alone for five years. How remarkable!”

Even I, at my age, can't bear the loneliness when the night falls. Yet, someone as young as Finnegan stayed there for five years. I don't think I can ever do that.

Feeling at a loss for words, Finnegan responded, “Do you think I wanted that? It's all because of that old thing!”

Back then, a year before Sawyer let me return to my home, he would only allow me to sleep for four hours daily and thoroughly tormented me. I was truly in a living hell.

A year later, I thought I could finally return home when Sawyer was leaving. Unexpectedly, he poisoned me with ninety-nine different poisons. He told me I had to detoxify the poisons first before going home. If not, death would be the only thing waiting for me, even when I return home.

Hence, I had no choice but to bear the loneliness and stayed for four more years. It wasn't until Mandy came to seek medical treatment that I finally detoxified the final poison.

Logan chuckled, for he knew the reason behind Finnegan not being able to leave back then. “Dr. Aiello's way of training his disciple is indeed unique.”

Just as he finished speaking, several cars suddenly sped into the compound, splashing water everywhere before finally stopping beside Stephen's ordinary sedan in unison.

The car doors flung open at the same time, and over a dozen bodyguards in black got out of the vehicles.

From the Bentley in the center, two identical men got out. One looked gentlemanly, while the other appeared rougher.

An alluring woman walked out of the back row. Surprisingly, it was Liam's secretary, Hailey.

A hint of amusement flickered in Finnegan's eyes.

Seems like Liam is here for me.

Liam got out of the car only after Hailey held up an umbrella. He surveyed the surroundings with disgust and finally fixed his gaze on Finnegan. Letting out a cold snort, he walked toward Finnegan and the others with Hailey and the two identical men.
