Daddy the Miracle Medic (Lachlan and Miranda) novel Chapter 248

Chapter 248 I'm Here to Give a Gift

Dillon let out a grunt of surprise and uncertainty.

"Lachlan?" he asked.

"Yes, it's me! Mr. Hodge, you said that if I have any more Nourishing Essence Pills to sell, I could contact you anytime," Lachlan said.

Hearing this, Dillon hesitated for a moment before dismissing him with a wave of his hand. "Not tonight! I'm busy tonight. Maybe another day. But be prepared to pay top dollar!" he said before hanging up the phone!

At that moment, Quinn next to him asked, "Son, who was that?"

Dillon's eyes flickered with suspicion as he replied, "This guy is Allison's old classmate..."

He went on to explain what had happened previously.

After finishing his story, Dillon snorted in disgust and exclaimed, "This guy never sells early or late but just happens to come looking for me tonight? Something seems fishy here! I'm not dealing with him!"

Quinn nodded in agreement and added, "Allison's old classmate? Hmph."

Then he turned towards Dillon with an approving look on his face and said, "Son, you did the right thing! It does seem suspicious so be careful and we'll talk about it after tonight."

Meanwhile Lachlan looked at the disconnected phone call with coldness in his heart!

That phone call was actually a test!

He wasn't even buying Nourishing Essence Pills anymore? Heh...

Lachlan was almost certain now that Allison's disappearance was related to Dillon.

The next second, he called Mason asking for help investigating Dillon from the Hodge's Wine.

"Mason, do you know anything about this rich kid named Dillon Hodge from the Hodge's Wine? Where does he usually hang out especially when doing some shady business?"

Mason had been one of Edoland's underground bosses for many years now and had become one of the two major forces in the underground scene, making things much easier than Lachlan himself investigating alone.

"Dillon? Brother-in-law, I'll look into it for you!" Mason readily agreed

A few moments later, Mason called back giving Lachlan an update on what they found out about Dillon.

Dillon was a playboy who took advantage of girls because of his family's wealth and power but usually targeted girls from ordinary families whom can't fight back against the Hodge family even if they wanted too, which made them easy targets.

Even if they couldn't handle it themselves, Dillon would give them some money as compensation which would keep them quiet since most people didn't want trouble with the Hodge family.

"The Hodge family has a 'Merliscire Chateau', where Dillon usually hangs out, it's like his own personal hideout."

"The Merliscire Chateau! OK, I get it!" Lachlan muttered, his eyes flashing with a cold glint.

For the past few days, Emerson had been by Lachlan's side to recover from his injuries. After hanging up the phone with Mason, Lachlan told Emerson about this.

"Mr. Willis, is there anything you need? Do you want me to come with you?"

"No need, stay at home and watch over Nora! I'll go out for a bit. It's nothing major," Lachlan waved him off before leaving in his car.

...

Merliscire Chateau!

It was an enormous building that covered thousands of square feet. Inside were warehouses used for storing "the Hodge's Wine" products and specialized wine cellars used to store various types of fine wines. Of course, there were also several small houses and villas for living quarters.

"Haha! You will see when you get here. I promise it will be something extraordinary that you'll love! It's an exquisite item... haha..." Quinn teased him playfully while keeping the surprise hidden from him.

At this moment, he felt proud of himself because he had figured out what would appeal to Alexander and had captured Allison as a gift for him.

Otherwise, given his indifferent attitude towards him now, it would not be easy to win his favor.

As for whether or not he would like this "special gift," Quinn did not even consider it.

Looking at Allison in front of his eyes made him sure that no man could resist such beauty!

"Oh? An exquisite item?"

Alexander finally showed some interest upon hearing about the "special gift."

"Well then keep it aside for me! To tell the truth - I came here with gifts too. If there is anything else worth gifting alongside your 'exquisite' item, then let me know so that I can present them together!"

Upon hearing these words from Alexander, Quinn knew exactly what he meant.

Caelan had warned him repeatedly before he came over: make sure to bring thick compensation gifts along with Isa's apology towards Lachlan.

He also explained their relationship clearly: Lachlan was not only a divine doctor but also an unparalleled master who could single-handedly defeat four grandmaster experts!

Moreover, Lachlan held Priocia's Dragon Order which had been awarded by Generalissimo Ilonyo himself making Lachlan an honorary generalissimo.

After learning all of this, Alexander no longer looked down on Lachlan in the slightest. He gritted his teeth and prepared a generous gift with great care, even though it cost him dearly.

But when it came to gifts, more was always better. So when he heard that Quinn had also prepared a "big gift" for him, Alexander's first thought was to give it to Lachlan as well!
