Chapter 544 A Piece of Bad News
Hearing "Moonlight Gate", Ophelia also showed a look of surprise. She recalled Tate's expression when he rejected her. Could it be...
"Was the person who shot at you also from Moonlight Gate?" Ophelia's heart tightened. "When did you offend Moonlight Gate? Will they come after you again?"
If it was someone from Moonlight Gate, Ophelia would naturally be nervous. Tate's previous hesitation suggested she might have known about this.
Finnegan's voice was calm and deep. "I don't know anyone from Moonlight Gate, nor do I have any dealings with them. But if Oscar wasn't lying, then the person behind Deacon is the founder of Moonlight Gate, Nine."
"Tate is out of contact now, otherwise, we could have asked her some things." Ophelia frowned. "Could it be that this Nine silenced Deacon to help him?"
Ophelia had learned from Atticus that the contraband on the cargo ship that night was prepared by Deacon, but Finnegan had known about it for a long time.
That batch of goods should have come from Moonlight Gate. It made sense for Moonlight Gate to want to silence Deacon.
Finnegan put his arm around Ophelia's shoulder and said, "Didn't you place an order with Moonlight Gate? Let's wait and see. Sleep now."
Ophelia nodded, then remembered that Finnegan couldn't see, and said, "Alright, let's rest."
She was very tired, and Finnegan was also exhausted. That night, they didn't think about anything or do anything, they just snuggled together and fell asleep.
The next day, Ophelia was preparing to take Finnegan to the hospital for an eye check-up. Celia, Jude, and Susan all came, and Caspian also rushed over after hearing the news.
Finnegan sat on the sofa, wearing sunglasses to prevent others from noticing his blindness.
As the head of Abbott's Corporation, if news of Finnegan's blindness got out, it would have a significant impact.
"Finnegan." Celia was very emotional. After entering the living room and seeing Finnegan sitting on the sofa, she rushed forward excitedly. "You scared me to death. Are you hurt anywhere? Let me see."
"It's nothing," Finnegan said lightly. "Just a minor injury."
Jude also breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that you're back."
Susan's cloudy eyes were filled with hidden tears. "Finnegan, you've suffered."
Caspian said, "Finnegan, you're finally back. I heard that Niamh had you imprisoned? That woman is truly insane. Has she lost her mind? Imprisoning is illegal. She should go to jail."
After packing some things for going out, Ophelia came downstairs, and quietly took Finnegan's hand. "There's no news from Mr. Benedict yet. Niamh won't get off so easily this time."
Ophelia felt regretful. Niamh had done so many bad things, but now they could only charge her with imprisoning Finnegan. It was too lenient a punishment for Niamh.
The most urgent matter now was to cure Finnegan's eyes.
Caspian said angrily, "Niamh should be locked up for ten years."
"Grandma Susan, Mom, Dad, I'm taking Finnegan to the hospital for a check-up." Ophelia still didn't reveal Finnegan's blindness.
Caspian inadvertently said, "Finnegan, it's broad daylight, and it's cloudy today. Why are you wearing sunglasses?"
Everyone then noticed Finnegan's sunglasses. Celia asked in confusion, "Finnegan, your eyes?"
"I can't see," Finnegan said honestly. "The car explosion caused fragments to injure my eyes."
His tone was casual as if stating an insignificant matter.
Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked.
This news was a bolt from the blue for everyone.
Finnegan had become blind.
"Finnegan, how could this happen?" Celia couldn't accept it and reached out to remove his sunglasses.
Ophelia's eyes also welled up with tears, feeling distressed.
When the sunglasses were removed, everyone finally believed that Finnegan couldn't see. His eyes had no focus.
"Finnegan." Susan, leaning on her cane, couldn't bear it and turned away to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
This was her proud grandson.
Jude also found it hard to accept. "Fateis too cruel. Finnegan, who was the one who harmed you that night? We must find them and make them pay."
Jude was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
Finnegan said, "It's a blessing to have survived. Mom, Dad, Grandma Susan, don't worry about me."
Ophelia also said, "I've already contacted an ophthalmologist. We'll find a way to cure Finnegan's eyes."
Celia said, "Then hurry to the hospital. Don't delay. Go to the hospital."
Everyone accompanied Finnegan to the hospital. At this moment, no one wanted to leave.
While Finnegan was in the examination room, Ophelia received a call from Landon. "I have some bad news."
