Daddy the Miracle Medic (Lachlan and Miranda) novel Chapter 445

Chapter 445 People Coming from Iylonio

Under Erik's invitation, Lachlan stayed for lunch.

Kiera and Rowan also joined them as they hadn't eaten yet. During the meal, Erik's attitude towards Lachlan noticeably improved, returning to their previous relationship trend. Today, Lachlan saved Chloe which greatly eased tensions between him and the Ward family.

To be honest, no one can truly empathize with a situation until it happens to them personally.

When Chloe was in trouble this time around, Erik felt anxious and panicked just like how Lachlan did before. Therefore, his resentment towards Lachlan wasn't as deep anymore.

While Erik chatted with Lachlan over drinks while Kiera and Rowan kept them company in the living room area, someone walked into the reception room quickly.

"Mr. Ward ," the person said urgently. "Someone from the Ward family in Iylonio is here to see you."

Upon hearing this news, Erik's face stiffened slightly as he frowned.

"Who is it?" he asked calmly.

"It's Edward Ward from the third generation," replied the messenger before leaving promptly.

Erik nodded lightly and said, "Let him come."

The person acknowledged and then exited the room.

At this moment, Kiera frowned, a hint of resistance visible on her face.

"Grandpa, why did they send him over?" she asked.

Erik shook his head lightly and didn't say anything.

Kiera glanced briefly at Lachlan, then decided not to ask further.

Observing Kiera's reaction, Lachlan raised an eyebrow...

The Ward family in Iylonio? What connection did it have with the Ward family in Edoland?

Last time, when that chubby guy from the Smith family in Iylonio harassed Kiera, Lachlan heard him mention something about the Ward family in Iylonio.

Judging from Kiera's reaction, it seemed that the two "Ward families" didn't have a good relationship with each other.

"Mr. Ward, I have something else to attend to, so I'll take my leave," Lachlan said with a smile, understandingly getting up to leave.

Seeing Erik's mysterious expression, he felt it was better to avoid any suspicion as an "outsider."

Erik hesitated for a moment, nodded apologetically, and said, "Alright, Lachlan, take care! Come visit again when you have time!"

"Rowan, see Mr. Willis off."

"No need, I've been here before, no need for an escort," Lachlan waved his hand with a smile, ready to leave.

However, before he had taken a few steps, he saw several people coming towards him, coincidentally entering the reception room at the same time.

Leading the group were two young men, one with a well-built and athletic physique, and the other noticeably overweight.

Behind the two were several men dressed in suits, resembling attendants.

Seeing the stout figure, Lachlan's eyes flickered briefly, but he quickly averted his gaze, not wanting to engage with the person.

However, the other party also noticed him and immediately blocked Lachlan's path.

"It's you?"

The stout figure looked at Lachlan, his expression darkening as he exclaimed in surprise.

With his small eyes, which were never big to begin with, he squinted unfriendly.

This person was none other than Jude, the pursuer of Kiera.

He claimed to be the second generation of the noble Smith family in Iylonio.

"Huh? Mr. Smith, do you know him?" Edward, the third-generation member of the Ward family in Iylonio, asked with some surprise.

Jude stared at Lachlan, his expression filled with anger and coldness.

"I know him, of course!"

Erik noticed the situation and furrowed his brows, asking, "What's going on?"

Edward gestured to Jude, and the two of them respectfully greeted Erik.

Then, Edward smiled and said, "Erik, Mr. Smith has a liking for Kiera, as you are well aware. It seems that my sister Kiera has... found a boyfriend?"

Upon hearing this, Erik glanced at Kiera and saw her holding onto Lachlan's arm with an intimate gesture, instantly understanding what was happening.

He knew that his granddaughter had no interest in Jude. In his eyes, this chubby guy was not worthy of his granddaughter, even with the background of the Smith family.

Erik had no intentions of using his granddaughter's happiness to exchange for any benefits.

Seeing his granddaughter using Lachlan as a shield at this moment, he nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, Kiera and Lachlan have mutual feelings for each other. Is there a problem?"

He then looked at Jude and nodded solemnly, saying, "Jude, you can't force matters of the heart."

Upon hearing this, a hint of displeasure appeared on Jude's face. "Mr. Ward, is he really Kiera's boyfriend? I think he's just a fake. I don't believe Kiera would be interested in someone like him!"

Jude then proceeded to tell Erik about the incident where Lachlan had deceived him, distorting the truth and turning a genuine sapphire necklace into a fake.

He seemed to be trying to tattle on Lachlan.

"Mr. Ward, this guy is nothing but a swindler. Don't let him deceive you!" Jude pointed at Lachlan, speaking with a tone filled with hatred.

After hearing this, Erik looked at Lachlan and couldn't help but chuckle.

He thought, "Oh, there's this as well? Lachlan truly is..."

At the same time, Erik looked down on Jude even more.

No matter how he looked at this young member of the Smith family, he seemed like a foolish and dim-witted person.

To be fooled and still have the audacity to complain?

If Lachlan can deceive you, it's because he has the skill. If you can't outsmart him, it's simply your own incompetence!
