Daddy the Miracle Medic (Lachlan and Miranda) novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164 Why Apologize?

Philip's face flashed with panic and he smiled, making an excuse, "It's almost autumn, and those two ponds attract mosquitoes. I had them filled in."

"Oh, I see..." Emerson Hurst nodded and looked deeply at Philip before saying nothing more.

The next second, Emerson pulled out a design plan and placed it in front of Philip.

"Mr. Mclaughlin, you have such a large courtyard that needs proper care! This is the new design plan I created for you. Do you like the layout? My idea is to place two mythical beasts on each side of your mansion's entrance..."

Emerson explained his vision to Philip who couldn't understand any of it as his mind was blank. He only felt worried and suspicious that Emerson would use geomancy tactics to harm their family again.

"What do you think about this Mr. Mclaughlin?"

"Mr. Mclaughlin? What are you thinking?"

After Emerson finished speaking, he asked Philip who quickly nodded and said, "Good! Good! Mr. Hurst, please go ahead with your plans; thank you for your efforts."

He didn't dare show any other reaction but pretended everything was fine with him.

"It's nothing; it's my professional work."

Emerson said smilingly while a cold light flashed deep in his eyes.

After this encounter ended when Emerson left the room, Philip tried calling Lachlan several times but no one answered the phone which made him even more anxious than before so he called one of his trusted employees instead, "Hurry up! Find out where Mr. Willis is located by any means necessary. Tell me as soon as possible!"

Meanwhile...

Just after hanging up from talking with Philip on the phone, another number called Lachlan's phone line immediately afterward,

"Ms. Fields?"

Lachlan picked up politely asking who was calling.

It was Nora's teacher calling from her class whose voice sounded serious when she asked, "Is this Nora's father Mr. Willis?"

"Yes! Ms. Fields what can I help you with?" Lachlan felt nervous sensing her attitude over the phone line.

This seemed like a common problem among parents - feeling uneasy when talking to their child's teacher.

Especially when the other party's tone was serious...

"Mr. Willis, can you please come to the school right away? Nora got into a fight with her classmate yesterday, and you should know about it, right? Today, his parents came to the school and hope that you can come and resolve this matter," Alicia Fields said.

"Uh... okay, I'll be there right away," Lachlan hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

He was surprised that the other party's parents had actually found their way to the school?

Lachlan didn't take it seriously when children fought and played around.

Without thinking too much about it, Lachlan quickly picked up his speed.

Half an hour later, he arrived at Eastview Kindergarten.

It was already past three in the afternoon and many parents were waiting outside to pick up their children.

Lachlan had always been one for resolving issues peacefully and not making mountains out of molehills. So he furrowed his eyebrows slightly before asking, "Kids will play around like kids; there's no need for us parents to get worked up about it. What would satisfy the parent here?"

"What would satisfy me?" Molly sneered confidently while pointing at Lachlan's nose with her finger. "Your daughter should apologize to my son! And as for yourself... slap yourself twice in the face and apologize!"

Lachlan laughed incredulously, "You're quite amusing aren't ya'? Are we joking around now?"

At that moment, Alicia gave Lachlan an urgent look, "Mr. Willis," she mouthed silently while shaking her head frantically, "I advise that you comply with her demands." Jamie's mother was not someone they wanted trouble from.

The principal also chimed in seriously, "Nora's father," she said sternly. "It'd be best if we put an end on this matter by having both of you all apologize."

This only made Lachlan more upset as he turned towards Alicia and the principal indignantly. "Her kid started it all by bothering my little girl! Why should we have to apologize?! How could you two teachers handle things like this?" He couldn't help feeling dissatisfied with both Alicia and the Principal right now.

He thought they would help mediate and come up with a fair solution that would satisfy both sides. But to his surprise, they were completely biased and took the other person's side.

"I'm doing this for your own good. Do you even know who her husband is? If you don't want to cause trouble for yourself, make your daughter apologize and give yourself a few slaps," Alicia's face turned cold upon hearing Lachlan's words, and she didn't hold back.

"That's right! If you're not as strong as others, you have to bow down! What is there to be dissatisfied about?" the principal also spoke with a cold expression on her face, looking at Lachlan with impatience and disdain in her eyes.

She knew that Lachlan was only able to enroll his child here because of his connection with the Ward family. But so what?

Molly's husband was the nephew of Eastview Kindergarten's board director – although he wasn't a direct nephew but rather an uncle-nephew relationship – it was still quite influential.

Lachlan only had connections through the Ward family; he wasn't even part of their family himself, so his connections were hardly worth mentioning.

There was no need for Alicia or the principal to consider whose side they should take; it was obvious which way they should lean.
