Daddy the Miracle Medic (Lachlan and Miranda) novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140 Poor in Literature, Rich in Military Strength

Yes, Miranda knew about Lachlan's dragon-shaped jade pendant. She couldn't forget it since he was holding onto it tightly when she hit him with her car.

When Summer showed her the painting earlier, Miranda tried to hide her confusion.

Upon hearing this, Lachlan's face changed and his eyes became cold. "Are you threatening me?"

Miranda felt his gaze and couldn't help but stare at him with resentment. "Yes, I am threatening you. What are you going to do about it? Are you going to listen to me or not?"

Lachlan frowned as he noticed Miranda's expression. He softened his tone and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. But my dear wife... you have to keep this a secret for me."

Mason glared at him hatefully and snorted coldly. "We'll see how well-behaved you can be."

"I've been behaving pretty well so far," Lachlan retorted defensively.

"You've been a disaster!" Miranda ground her teeth together as she spoke in an icy tone.

Lachlan scratched his nose awkwardly as he realized that women could change their minds quickly.

What did he do wrong tonight?

As soon as Lachlan arrived home, a small figure ran out excitedly towards him waving its little hand, "Daddy! Daddy is back!" Nora shouted happily.

A smile of indulgence appeared on Lachlan's face as he crouched down and picked up Nora in his arms before spinning around once with her in tow. "Daddy is back now! Where did Daddy go?"

"Nora missed Daddy so much," the little girl pouted cutely while looking up at him expectantly.

"I'm here now," replied Lachlan while playfully pinching Nora's nose before turning towards the nanny who had just come out of the house, "Have both of you eaten yet?"

"Yes sir," nodded the nanny respectfully while smiling warmly at them both, "Miss Nora has been waiting for your return."

Lina's words made Lachlan feel tender-hearted inside…

An hour later!

After soothing Nora to sleep, Lachlan found himself in the courtyard, once again practicing the Dragon Soul Immortal Technique in an attempt to break through the bottleneck and enter the Uppecia realm.

However, he failed once more, unable to successfully liquefy the true energy within his body.

"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is too thin, and I can only rely on treasures like the Heavenly Spirit Jade to break through!" Lachlan shook his head with a sigh.

Nora's illness had him feeling helpless, but Lachlan firmly believed that as he increased his strength, he would find a solution.

However, Summer's appearance tonight also made Lachlan feel a sense of crisis. A young woman of similar age who was almost as strong as him? There were definitely many people in this world stronger than him. His strength was still far from enough!

Just then, his phone rang. It was Mason calling.

"Brother-in-law, I have some news about what you asked me to look into! In one week at the Graham family auction, they're going to auction off a piece of spirit jade. I don't know if it's the Heavenly Spirit Jade you mentioned, but it seems like it's used for martial arts cultivation and contains very rich spiritual energy!"

Mason told Lachlan everything he knew about the upcoming auction at the Graham family estate in Edoland. The Graham family was an extremely low-key martial arts clan with much greater power than even their first-class Lowe family clan.

They held auctions every so often where they sold rare items that were useful only to martial artists or other eccentric individuals - items that usually went for astronomical prices.

"For example," Mason explained further, "a single pill they make could cost tens of millions or more; a set of martial arts techniques could easily go for billions..."

Victoria's face remained very ugly even today inside her old mansion belonging to Lowe family…

After being so angry that she coughed up blood, there was always an unhealthy flush on her face.

"Cough, cough..."

She coughed a few times and there was another bloodstain on her handkerchief.

A doctor was massaging her meridians beside her with a slightly furrowed brow.

"Dr. Hughes, how is my mom doing?" Romeo asked with concern on his face.

"Well... your mother had anger attacking her heart before. I gave her a prescription to take regularly every day. She should be fine!" Dr. Hughes replied.

"Make sure she adjusts her mentality and takes good care of herself!" Dr. Hughes pulled Romeo aside and instructed him in a low voice.

Romeo nodded and glanced at Victoria before flashing a hint of coldness in his eyes.

After the doctor left, Victoria asked suspiciously, "Romeo, what's wrong? What did the doctor say?"

Romeo's eyes flickered for a moment but he looked hesitant as he said, "Mom... nothing! The doctor said you just need to take good care of yourself."

Although he said there was nothing wrong with his mother's health, he still had the look of someone attending a funeral about him.

The way he acted and spoke didn't seem like everything was okay at all.
