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.
“Finnegan!”
Upon seeing him, Waylynn spoke in an awkward tone.
Finnegan didn’t overthink it. “Ms. Wright, today is your last treatment. After this, you’ll need to rest for
five days before removing the bandages, and then you’ll be fully recovered.”
“Really?” Waylynn excitedly asked.
She hadn’t ventured outside in the years since her severe burns, almost forgetting what the outside
world looked like.
Finnegan said, “Of course. Besides, haven’t you seen it with your own eyes?”
Recalling the changes during each change in dressing, Waylynn asked, “So, there shouldn’t be any
issues with my hair, right?”
Understanding what Waylynn was worried about, Finnegan reassured her, “Don’t 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.”
“Finnegan, thank you!”
“No need for thanks. First, I’ll remove the bandages to perform acupuncture on you, then I’ll prepare
the medicinal paste.”
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. “Isn’t that fierce woman coming today?”
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, “Romona has
been a little busy the past few days, so she didn’t come over.”

Waylynn’s 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 Waylynn’s body to start functioning
on its own. He then turned and left the ward, saying, “I’m going to prepare some medicinal paste. You
stay put!”
Only when he heard the sound of the door closing did Waylynn slowly open her eyes.
She bit her lip lightly. “Romona is right. He’s a little naughty. I could’ve just cleaned myself up just but
he actually wiped down my body!”
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 Waylynn’s
body evenly.
Finally, after wrapping her up like a mummy with bandages, he let out a sigh of relief.
“Five days from now, you can remove the bandages yourself, and you’ll be completely healed!”
Thinking about her imminent recovery, Waylynn expressed her gratitude once again. “Finnegan, thank
you. Once I’m better, I’ll treat you to a meal!”
Finnegan waved his hand and said, “We’ll talk about it later. But remember one thing, you should avoid
any intense exercise for about three months after you’ve recovered, to prevent straining the new skin.
The new skin is very delicate and can be easily injured!”
“I know.”
Finnegan said, “If that’s all, I’ll be going first.”
With a grunt of acknowledgment, Waylynn did not attempt to hold him back.
After Finnegan left, she murmured to herself, “Although he was treating me, hasn’t he seen my entire
body and practically touched every part of me?”
With that thought in her mind, a playful glint flickered in Waylynn’s 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, wasn’t shy at all. As soon as he sat down, he picked up his fork.
While eating, he said, “Let’s talk about whatever it is after I’ve had my fill of food and drink. I don’t want
it to affect my mood or appetite.”
Nathan, who was just about to speak, shook his head with a bitter smile but didn’t say anything.
Chapter 268 Staying Out Of It
It wasn’t until Finnegan finished most of the food and put down his fork that Nathan insinuated, “After
causing so much trouble, you still have such an appetite. I truly admire you.”
Finnegan burped and picked up a toothpick.
“In this world, nothing is more important than a good meal. Everything else pales in comparison!”
“Cunning little fox,” Nathan muttered under his breath, deciding not to beat around the bush with
Finnegan any longer. “Now that the Farrington family’s matter is settled, what are your plans for dealing
with the Sable family?”
He knew that Finnegan intended to eliminate his enemies, but the Sable family were major sha of Regi
Group.
Once Finnegan truly eradicated them, Jadeborough’s economy would inevitably be affected.
That was not what he, who was in charge of Nuthana, wanted to see.
Finnegan burped again. “What else can I do when you’ve already had Romona remind me? You guys
are such a pain, always worrying about this and that. Although you’re not entirely wrong, it’s precisely Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
your consideration of the bigger picture that indirectly fosters the brazenness of the upper class!”
Those people know that the top brass won’t punish them easily for the sake of stability. Otherwise, the
second and third generations of those families wouldn’t have dared to be so arrogant. They wouldn’t
dare regard ordinary folk as nothing but insects!
Nathan smiled wryly. “You really don’t mince your words, do you!”
Finnegan smirked. “Did I say something wrong?”
Nathan said, “You’re 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 you’re wrong. If you don’t have value,
being right is useless!”
Some people committed countless evils, yet their status and position ensured that they couldn’t be
killed even if they deserved to die.
Finnegan let out a sigh, putting down his toothpick. “Stop with the excuses. I don’t like hearing them. If
there’s nothing else, I’m leaving!”
“You really have no patience at all,” Nathan said with a helpless smile.
Finnegan stretched lazily and stood up, “You’re constantly reminding me that there are people who can
kill me, but I can’t just kill them unless I can handle the consequences. And you still expect me to be
patient?”
“Alright, I won’t say anymore.” Nathan sighed quietly. “So, how do you see the current situation with the
Wahlstrom and Zymons families, as well as Nuthana’s Martial Arts Alliance?”
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 Nuthana’s Martial Arts Alliance.

Regarding this, Nathan was quite vexed.
Finnegan shrugged his shoulders and walked away, saying, “It’s none of my business, so I’ll stay out of
it!”
Nathan let out a helpless smile. “Young man, the Wahlstrom and Zymons families might not concern
you, but didn’t you stir up the Martial Arts Alliance? Do you really think you can stay out of this?”
Finnegan, already at the gate, stopped in his tracks.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, disappearing as quickly as it came. “You had better not get me
involved.”
Otherwise, I will make everyone regret it…
