Chapter 268 Staying Out Of It
Upon arriving at the Wright residence, Finnegan headed straight to the courtyard where Waylynn was and entered the sterile ward.
After several treatments, Waylynn had no issues with basic movements and her recovery was going well although she was still unable to leave the ward and her entire body was wrapped up like a mummy.
âFinnegan!â
Upon seeing him, Waylynn spoke in an awkward tone.
Finnegan didnât overthink it. âMs. Wright, today is your last treatment. After this, youâll need to rest for five days before removing the bandages, and then youâll be fully recovered.â
âReally?â Waylynn excitedly asked.
She hadnât ventured outside in the years since her severe burns, almost forgetting what the outside world looked like.
Finnegan said, âOf course. Besides, havenât you seen it with your own eyes?â
Recalling the changes during each change in dressing, Waylynn asked, âSo, there shouldnât be any issues with my hair, right?â
Understanding what Waylynn was worried about, Finnegan reassured her, âDonât worry. Once you have recovered, your skin will be even better than before the burn, while your hair will gradually grow back.
You can completely return to your previous life.â
âFinnegan, thank you!â
âNo need for thanks. First, Iâll remove the bandages to perform acupuncture on you, then Iâll prepare the medicinal paste.â
go and Nodding, Waylynn returned to the bed and lay down.
Finnegan stepped forward, carefully picking up the scissors to cut open the bandage. The Regenerating Ointment that had been applied a few days ago had been completely absorbed, leaving only the dried remnants of the ointment.
After tidying up the bandages, Finnegan began to clean up the remnants.
Slowly, Finnegan felt a bit awkward. âIsnât that fierce woman coming today?â
At present, Waylynn has recovered about eighty percent. Apart from a bit of wrinkling, the rest of her skin. was as tender as that of a few-month-old baby.
Moreover, Waylynn, who was already in good shape before the incident, was now visually appealing to Finnegan.
Waylynn seemed to understand why Finnegan was feeling awkward. She whispered, âRomona has been a little busy the past few days, so she didnât come over.â

Waylynnâs eyebrows and hair had yet to grow, but her delicate features were already visible.
Staring at her, Finnegan reminded himself to contain his urges as he swiftly cleaned up the remnants of the ointment for her. He then followed up by wiping her clean with a damp towel.
Once he finished, he quickly put down the golden needle, allowing Waylynnâs body to start functioning on its own. He then turned and left the ward, saying, âIâm going to prepare some medicinal paste. You stay put!â
Only when he heard the sound of the door closing did Waylynn slowly open her eyes.
She bit her lip lightly. âRomona is right. Heâs a little naughty. I couldâve just cleaned myself up just but he actually wiped down my body!â
Naturally, Finnegan, who had already left, had no idea what Waylynn had said.
After spending several hours preparing the Regenerating Ointment, he returned to the sterile ward.
Trying his best to avoid dirty thoughts, he began to apply the Regenerating Ointment on Waylynnâs body evenly.
Finally, after wrapping her up like a mummy with bandages, he let out a sigh of relief.
âFive days from now, you can remove the bandages yourself, and youâll be completely healed!â
Thinking about her imminent recovery, Waylynn expressed her gratitude once again. âFinnegan, thank you. Once Iâm better, Iâll treat you to a meal!â
Finnegan waved his hand and said, âWeâll talk about it later. But remember one thing, you should avoid any intense exercise for about three months after youâve recovered, to prevent straining the new skin.
The new skin is very delicate and can be easily injured!â
âI know.â
Finnegan said, âIf thatâs all, Iâll be going first.â
With a grunt of acknowledgment, Waylynn did not attempt to hold him back.
After Finnegan left, she murmured to herself, âAlthough he was treating me, hasnât he seen my entire body and practically touched every part of me?â
With that thought in her mind, a playful glint flickered in Waylynnâs eyes, leaving one to wonder what she was thinking.
As soon as Finnegan stepped out of the ward, he was summoned by Nathan.
Furthermore, a table full of food was prepared in advance.
Finnegan, for his part, wasnât shy at all. As soon as he sat down, he picked up his fork.
While eating, he said, âLetâs talk about whatever it is after Iâve had my fill of food and drink. I donât want it to affect my mood or appetite.â
Nathan, who was just about to speak, shook his head with a bitter smile but didnât say anything.
Chapter 268 Staying Out Of It
It wasnât until Finnegan finished most of the food and put down his fork that Nathan insinuated, âAfter causing so much trouble, you still have such an appetite. I truly admire you.â
Finnegan burped and picked up a toothpick.
âIn this world, nothing is more important than a good meal. Everything else pales in comparison!â
âCunning little fox,â Nathan muttered under his breath, deciding not to beat around the bush with Finnegan any longer. âNow that the Farrington familyâs matter is settled, what are your plans for dealing with the Sable family?â
He knew that Finnegan intended to eliminate his enemies, but the Sable family were major sha of Regi Group.
Once Finnegan truly eradicated them, Jadeboroughâs economy would inevitably be affected.
That was not what he, who was in charge of Nuthana, wanted to see.
Finnegan burped again. âWhat else can I do when youâve already had Romona remind me? You guys are such a pain, always worrying about this and that. Although youâre not entirely wrong, itâs precisely your consideration of the bigger picture that indirectly fosters the brazenness of the upper class!â
Those people know that the top brass wonât punish them easily for the sake of stability. Otherwise, the second and third generations of those families wouldnât have dared to be so arrogant. They wouldnât dare regard ordinary folk as nothing but insects!
Nathan smiled wryly. âYou really donât mince your words, do you!â
Finnegan smirked. âDid I say something wrong?â
Nathan said, âYouâre not wrong, but fairness is hard to come by in this society. Everything is value-
oriented. If you have value, you can escape punishment even if youâre wrong. If you donât have value, being right is useless!â
Some people committed countless evils, yet their status and position ensured that they couldnât be killed even if they deserved to die.
Finnegan let out a sigh, putting down his toothpick. âStop with the excuses. I donât like hearing them. If thereâs nothing else, Iâm leaving!â
âYou really have no patience at all,â Nathan said with a helpless smile.
Finnegan stretched lazily and stood up, âYouâre constantly reminding me that there are people who can kill me, but I canât just kill them unless I can handle the consequences. And you still expect me to be patient?â
âAlright, I wonât say anymore.â Nathan sighed quietly. âSo, how do you see the current situation with the Wahlstrom and Zymons families, as well as Nuthanaâs Martial Arts Alliance?â
The ongoing conflict between the Wahlstrom and Zymons families had escalated recently, significantly impacting the lives of the common people.
The downfall of Oswald and the Farrington family left a lucrative void that attracted the attention of many in the Martial Arts Alliance. They all wanted to seize control of Nuthanaâs Martial Arts Alliance.

Chapter 268 Staying Out Of It Regarding this, Nathan was quite vexed.
Finnegan shrugged his shoulders and walked away, saying, âItâs none of my business, so Iâll stay out of it!â
Nathan let out a helpless smile. âYoung man, the Wahlstrom and Zymons families might not concern you, but didnât you stir up the Martial Arts Alliance? Do you really think you can stay out of this?â
Finnegan, already at the gate, stopped in his tracks.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, disappearing as quickly as it came. âYou had better not get me involved.â
Otherwise, I will make everyone regret itâ¦
