Daddy the Miracle Medic

Chapter 31 True Colors Revealed

After experiencing the harsh realities of life and feeling completely hopeless, Lachlan finally regained his rationality. He thought about Claudia's reaction after seeing Nora earlier.

The little one had opened her arms wide and happily pounced on her mother, but Claudia only gave Nora a casual pat on the head. Her gaze, however, lingered on Miranda's Bentley Mulsanne!

Was this the appropriate response from a mother who had endured so much to treat her daughter's illness?

For a moment, Lachlan's eyes flickered with emotion before he calmed down once again. He watched Claudia's performance as if he were an impartial observer.

"Claudia, how much money did you get from Tom? Give it to me now!" Lachlan pushed Claudia away from him and grabbed her shoulders anxiously.

Claudia was taken aback by his sudden demand and looked at him strangely. She had seen him drive off in his Bentley after impressing Rowan and his crew; she assumed that he didn't need any more money. She didn't know what opportunities had come Lachlan's way that turned him into such an impressive figure! That was why she came back with thoughts of reconciling with him.

Of course, she hadn't broken things off with Tom yet; she would do that once she officially got together with Lachlan.

But she never expected Lachlan to ask her for money. Did this guy still need money?

"What's wrong? Weren't you following Tom to raise money for Nora's treatment? What about the money?" Lachlan asked anxiously.

"Don't you have any money? Besides, isn't Nora better now?" Claudia's eyes flickered a few times.

"No! She just temporarily used some special medicine, so there has been some improvement! And if we find a matching bone marrow donor, it will cost a lot of money!"

"Claudia, I've been wrong about you all along. You're enduring so much humiliation and hardship for our daughter. The money I earned from selling myself is all gone now. Whether or not Nora can be cured depends on you! Hurry up and give me the money!" Lachlan begged with his eyes wide open.

As soon as he finished speaking, Claudia's face changed several times. "What did you say? What do you mean by selling yourself? Lachlan, what are you trying to say?"

"I really don't have any more money! If I had any more, would I still be living here with Nora?" Lachlan shrugged and said with a bitter smile. Looking at Claudia's current behavior, a hint of coldness floated in his eyes.

To expose whether someone was true or false, it was actually quite simple!

Just touch on what she cared about most and see how she reacted. Sure enough, after Lachlan made Claudia pay the bill, her attitude changed immediately.

"You... are you playing me? Honey, you must be testing me, right?” Claudia stared at Lachlan and asked with a forced smile.

Squeak!

At this moment, accompanied by the sound of brakes, several Range Rovers stopped at the door.

Then a group of people jumped out of the cars!

The leader was a young man who walked with wind. Several fierce followers followed behind him.

It was none other than Miranda's brother Mason!

After entering the door and seeing Lachlan, Mason snorted coldly.

"As long as you're here!"

Lachlan raised an eyebrow. "Little brother-in-law, why are you so angry?"

Mason glared at Lachlan with cold eyes and said, "Get lost! Who do you think you are calling me your little brother-in-law? You're not worthy! Don't think that my sister can fool me into thinking that you're anything more than a puppet. And a puppet with ulterior motives at that!"

At this moment, Mason was filled with anger. Miranda was his closest sister, and he would always stand by her side no matter what.

Even though the entire Lowe family supported Miranda marrying into the Austin family, Mason remained steadfast in his support for his sister. This showed just how deep their bond truly was.

So when he discovered someone scheming to get close to his beloved sister for some unknown purpose, Mason exploded in rage!

He personally led a team of men to capture Lachlan overnight!

"What puppet? What are you talking about?" Claudia asked Lachlan skeptically after hearing Mason's words.

Lachlan shrugged and replied nonchalantly, "Like I said before, I sold myself to someone else. She's the daughter of the Lowe family and I pretended to be her fiancé - or rather - her fake fiancé since we got together through unconventional means.”

"That Bentley over there belongs to her too. I'm just a driver,” he added Upon hearing this news, Claudia's face turned sour as she glared at Lachlan menacingly.

"What about Rowan from earlier?" she asked him pointedly.

"He probably did it out of respect for the Lowe family since they're such an influential clan in Edoland,” replied Lachlan casually as he grabbed onto Claudia's shoulders urgently.

"Claudia, don't ask so many questions! I've spent all 80 thousand earned from selling myself already; Nora needs further treatment now so it's up to you to pay for it! Quick tell me how much money have you squeezed out of Tom?"

"I won't pay any damn money!" retorted Claudia furiously. "So not only are you broke but also shameless enough to live off others’ wealth?! Being someone else's fake fiancé is bad enough but now we know it wasn't even real?! Disgusting!”

Claudia slapped Lachlan's hand away, her face full of strong disgust and contempt.

Lachlan stood there and chuckled, his laughter filled with mockery. Mocking himself just now, he actually still held a hint of luck towards Claudia.

"Lachlan Willis, what are you trying to pull here? If you don't want to die, come with me! I advise you to cooperate nicely, or else my guys aren't known for being careful with their trigger fingers!" At this moment, Mason impatiently scolded.

Click! Click! Click...

As he spoke, several of Mason's henchmen behind him reached into their pockets and pulled out handguns, all of them aiming at Lachlan simultaneously.

Mason also learned about what happened on "Love Boils" today, so he came prepared to deal with Lachlan.

At this moment, the people around him were all those he trusted the most and also had the strongest abilities.

Moreover, everyone was equipped with a gun!

Upon seeing this posture, Claudia was almost scared to pee!

In her heart, she showered Lachlan with a barrage of insults!

What trouble did this poor bastard get into? Don't let her get involved too!!

"Don't, don't shoot! It's not my business!" Claudia trembled as she spoke.

Lachlan hesitated for a moment, but then raised his hands and said to Mason, "I can go with you, but I need to talk to my ex-wife first.” Mason snorted coldly. "Fine! Say what you need to say!"

Lachlan nodded and looked at Claudia. "Claudia, stay here tonight and keep Nora company for a while. No matter what happens, our daughter is always happy to see you."

"Get lost! Who are you calling your ex-wife? What does it have to do with me whether she's happy or not?" Claudia cursed directly at Lachlan before turning nervously towards Mason

"This young... young master! I have nothing to do with him. Let me go! I don't even know him... whatever he did has nothing to do with me." At this moment, the woman was desperately trying to distance herself from Lachlan.

Mason gave Claudia a cold glance before ignoring her completely and saying only one thing, "The child should not suffer for the sins of the father. I will make sure someone stays here tonight to protect your daughter.”
