Daddy the Miracle Medic (Lachlan and Miranda) novel Chapter 456

Chapter 456 Tit for Tat

Mason stood to the side, watching Matthias' polite and enthusiastic attitude towards Lachlan, feeling a twinge of emotion in his heart.

Once upon a time, the Graham family was an unattainable presence in his mind when he first came with Lachlan to attend the auction.

As the underground boss in Edoland, he couldn't even get close to anyone in charge. He had to follow everyone else's rules and sit obediently at the auction house like everyone else. He couldn't even wander around freely.

But now, following his brother-in-law here, he found that even the head of the Graham family had come over to greet him.

The contrast between then and now made Mason feel unreal.

In his heart, it turned into four words: my brother-in-law is awesome!

At noon, the banquet officially began with Lachlan, Miranda, Nora and Mason as well as Matthias at one table. Also present were Raul and Sophie as elders of the family along with Savannah who was their genius girl.

Even ordinary elders of the Graham family didn't have a chance to sit at this table.

"I propose a toast! On behalf of the Graham family I would like to express our sincere thanks to Mr. Willis! Everything... goes without saying," said Matthias seriously after they started eating.

Everyone present stood up and raised their glasses towards Lachlan while high-level members of the Graham family also toasted him respectfully.

Lachlan calmly drank with everyone and then smiled at Raul, saying, "Mr. Graham and everyone, there's no need to be polite. To be honest, my life was saved by an ancient predecessor. If it weren't for Mr. Graham, I might have died at the hands of Hawkeye."

Lachlan never forgot his hatred, and he was even more grateful for favors. Although Raul acted with the consideration of the Graham family, he still saved Lachlan's life and bought him precious seven days of time. Lachlan remembered this.

Raul smiled with relief upon hearing Lachlan's words but waved his hand, saying, "Mr. Willis, your growth speed is truly astonishing! I'm afraid I'm no longer your match."

His admiration was sincere. Previously, when faced with the early Core Formation stage Hawkeye, Lachlan looked like he was about to be killed. But in just a short time, he swept through the Clan Grand Competition, even crushing opponents in the mid Core Formation stage. His growth speed was truly astonishing.

During the banquet, Lachlan and Matthias exchanged toasts, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Matthias mentioned that the Noble Families Alliance had already allocated the cultivation resources to the Graham family as agreed, and Lachlan could take away thirty percent when he left today.

In addition, the Graham family had prepared some spiritual jade and long-lasting medicinal herbs as gifts for Lachlan. As Matthias put it, the previous conditions were just conditions, and the gifts were expressions of gratitude.

Lachlan didn't refuse because the people around him also needed these cultivation resources. Not to mention Nora and Miranda, even his brother-in-law and subordinates like Emerson and Makhi, as well as the personnel from the security company, could make use of them.

However, another kind of atmosphere lingered throughout the meal.

Savannah frequently cast glances at Lachlan at the dining table, and the meaning behind those glances was obvious. At the same time, she occasionally scrutinized Miranda, her thoughts unclear.

Upon hearing this, Miranda laughed and retorted, "Wrong! I actually think that's precisely my advantage. What he wants is not a comrade-in-arms to fight enemies with him, but a woman who needs him to protect her, someone who can showcase his masculinity, isn't it? It's because of my vulnerability that he cares about me even more, and he cherishes me. Besides, I'm cultivating too..."

Savannah's tone faltered upon hearing this, and she snorted lightly, saying, "You keep claiming to be Lachlan's woman, but I don't think so. I wonder if Lachlan is interested in you at all? I've heard that your marriage is just for show."

She was a peak expert in the later stage of Uppecia, naturally capable of seeing through certain things. Miranda, at the moment, still maintained her purity.

Miranda's complexion turned unnatural upon hearing this, looking at Savannah's mocking and taunting expression, a sense of annoyance surged in her heart. She didn't expect Savannah to say this.

"He hasn't touched me, it's just that..."

Miranda gritted her teeth, about to say something when someone knocked on the restroom door.

Bang, bang, bang...

"Honey? Are you and Miss Graham in there?"

Outside, Lachlan's voice resounded.

Upon hearing it was him, both Miranda and Savannah couldn't help but show a hint of panic on their faces.
