Alld. It’s killing me! Dad, just let me die! I don’t want to live anymore! I really don’t want on live, please!
Let me die! I’m begging you!”
in
In the Va Neurology Ward, Killian’s limbs twisted as he suffered another attack. After enduring this
torture for over ten days, he was now skin and bones, and his screams from the
were hoarse
Gone was the confident demeanor that the scion of the Chomsky family used to exude,
The wounds on his limbs repeatedly split apart, causing blood to ooze out every hour. The hospital bed
he lay on was now a terrifying canvas of crimson stains.
Tristan observed his son’s anguished face, his own eyes bloodshot. “Killi, just endure a bit longer. I
promise to make Finnegan cure you while on his knees, and then you can be the one to take him
down. His entire family will pay the price for what you’ve endured!”
“But I can’t endure it any longer! I can’t!”
More than ten days of forment had shattered Killian’s will to live, he simply longed for the release of
death.
Tristan was about to offer further words of comfort when Finnegan’s amused voice sounded. “You
better endure it, as I’m still waiting for the moment you’ll kneel and beg for mercy.”
“Finnegan!”
Tristan swiftly turned around. His surrounding b*dyguards went on high alert as well.
Finnegan strolled over with a smile, casting a sidelong glance at Killian’s wretched state. He clucked
his tongue and said, “Well, even if you were to kneel and repent now, it seems like you wouldn’t be able
to kneel properly, huh?”
After days of torment and two or three hundred instances of agonizing contortions, there was no longer
a patch of intact flesh on Killian’s limbs. He appeared to be a bloody mess.
Iven if the contorting episodes stopped, he was now destined to be a cripple for the rest of
his life
Tristan growled, “Finnegan!”
From his hospital bed, Killian let out a hoarse roar of anger. “Finnegan, this won’t end well for you Just
give me a quick death already!”
Fuega, serted. A sick death for you! After what your dad just said, do you think I’m m
me to leave my hometown, destroyed my entire family, and left my dad paralyzed and unable to care
for himself. How could I possibly give you a quick death?”
With his emotions growing more intense, Finnegan almost yelled, “Besides, you repented. Why should
you enjoy a quick death?”
haven’t
Killian wanted to retort, but the pain from his twisted limbs left him only able to scream in
agony.
“Finnegan, I’m giving you one last chance. Make Killi’s suffering stop, or you’ll regret it!”
With a disdainful smile, Finnegan turned away indifferently. “Seeing Killian in so much pain. has
improved my mood quite a bit. As for giving me a chance, there’s no need for that. You better make the
most of the last chance I’m giving the Chomsky family, especially since there are only two days left!”
Staring at Finnegan’s retreating figure, Tristan contemplated ordering the b*dyguards to attack him
several times.
In the end, he held back. “Finnegan, you will regret this!”
Early in the morning, Oscar had left the hospital. His seniors had already arrived in Jadeborough.
After leaving the hospital, Finnegan had originally intended to visit the military hospital to deliver the
Long Life Pill to Jeremy. However, Bernice called him and suggested having lunch together.
As such, Finnegan adjusted his plans and took a taxi to a restaurant near Firebird Group.
“Finnegan!”
Before long, Bernice arrived in a black professional-looking dress.
Finnegan’s eyes lit up at the sight. “Darling, you look absolutely beautiful today!”
Normally, Bernice dressed more plainly and modestly, giving off a pure and elegant vibe. However, that
day, Bernice exuded a mature and capable air like that of a strong and independent woman.
Bernice deliberately huffed. “Wasn’t I beautiful before?”
“Of course you were, but every day, you seem more beautiful than the last, and my heart can hardly
handle it.”
Finnegan’s words made Bernice burst into laughter.

tongue
Finnegan chuckled. “Having a smooth tongue is a surefire way to master the art of k*ssing. Seems like
you’ve had some experience with it.”
Bernice’s l*ps twitched.
Feeling a mix of amusement and exasperation, she asked, “Is there anything I say that your can’t turn
into a slick remark?”
Finnegan answered with a straight face, “How can this be considered slick? These are words. of love
from me to you!”
“Ugh, you!” Bernice sighed in exasperation. “Be honest with me. Do I really look good in this outfit
today?”
“It’s not that the outfit makes you look good; you just naturally look good. You would look even better
without anything on.”
Finnegan couldn’t help but recall the situation when he had treated Bernice. Her figure was indeed
quite remarkable.
However…
Recalling something, he looked at Bernice’s blushing face and asked, “Darling, why suppress your
natural magnificence? Wearing something that fits your size is the way to go.”
Her blush deepening, Bernice muttered under her breath, “You meanie! You must’ve touched them a lot
back then!”
In order to maintain a professional image as a CEO, she purposely chose a slightly smaller size for her
undergarments so that her ample bosom wouldn’t bounce too much as she walked, which would attract
looks and comments from others. Little did she expect that Finnegan could tell with just a glance.
Bernice figured he must have touched them while he was treating her.
Finnegan realized Bernice was really feeling shy now, so he changed the topic.
“By the
way.
did your family cause any more trouble after I left last night?”
Bernice didn’t expect him to change the subject and muttered, “Meanie! You just changed the topic like
that!” After that, she answered, “Well, once you left, everyone stopped making a fuss, but the
atmosphere changed, and the guests started leaving one after another, so the party ended early.”
With some agitation, Bernice continued, “Besides, I heard from the butler that after the

Firebird Pharmaceuticals. It turned out that they were just vitamin supplements. Upon hearing this,
Grandpa flew into a rage and proclaimed that the Sable family was treating him. like a fool. When
Grandma tried to console him, she got shouted at, leaving everyone too scared to say anything.”
Finnegan said knowingly, “If it were just about those two fake Long Life Pills, your grandpa wouldn’t
have been so furious. This is probably him venting his frustration of missing out on the real Long Life
Pill,”
“I thought the same thing.” Bernice nodded. “Early this morning, Grandpa called me, and he was
surprisingly nice to me. He said that if you have time, he’d like me to bring you back to the Zimmerman
residence for a meal.”
Finnegan coldly snorted. “Well, we all know what he’s really after. Let’s see when he’s ready to
acknowledge our relationship first before we discuss anything else.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Aware of Bruce’s real intentions, Bernice didn’t insist on the meal. “I’ll go along with whatever you
decide.”
“Darling, is the arrangement you made with your grandfather really okay?”
If Bernice couldn’t follow through, Finnegan wouldn’t mind giving Bruce a Long Life Pill just so that he
wouldn’t stop Finnegan from being with Bernice.
Bernice’s expression dimmed. “Saying it’s okay would be a lie, but it’s not really a huge problem
either.”
Finnegan took her hand and asked, “Could you tell me about it? Maybe I can help in some way?”
Bernice figured the company matters were too complex for Finnegan to fully understand, so she shook
her head with a smile.
“No need. I already have a rough idea of what to do. You just wait for the Zimmerman family to accept
our relationship. Now, tell me about your situation. What happened last night? I don’t believe that both
the Haimowitz and Miles families would have already successfully invited Mr. Wright within ten minutes
of the incident.”
