Daddy the Miracle Medic (Lachlan and Miranda) novel Chapter 83

Chapter 83 Isa's Threat

"Uh, okay! Okay..." Lachlan wiped the sweat from his forehead and shrunk back in front of the powerful goddess CEO.

He had sold himself to her, so he had to listen to whatever she said...

"Hmph! That's more like it. And you better not get too close with other women now that you're my husband on paper. It wouldn't be good for me or my family's reputation. Who's jealous?" Miranda sneered arrogantly.

"Okay, I understand," Lachlan nodded sheepishly.

"Auntie, if you don't like my Daddy, why did you marry him?" Nora asked innocently with her face upturned.

"I... I just don't like him right now. Maybe I'll grow to like him later," Miranda hesitated a bit before answering.

Should she tell naive little Nora that this was just a transaction? She didn't know why but deep down inside, she didn't want to say it out loud.

"Oh okay then. You better start liking my Daddy soon though or he'll have another wife again," Nora giggled.

Nora blinked her big eyes and urged, "Come on, Daddy!"

Lachlan rubbed Nora's nose with a frown. "Why are you so worried, little girl?"

The beautiful CEO's face lit up with a tempting blush.

That night!

Lachlan sat by the bed and told Nora the story of Cinderella to help her fall asleep.

But tonight, Nora couldn't sleep.

She opened her eyes again, and there was a hint of unease and sadness in her big eyes.

"Daddy, am I really Mommy's biological daughter?"

Lachlan felt a pang in his heart at these words. He also felt hatred towards Claudia.

"Claudia! Do you know how much harm you've caused our daughter?" he thought to himself.

"Sweetie, your Mommy was just confused for a while. She knows she was wrong now. I will find someone better to be your Mommy if that's okay with you." Lachlan said lovingly as he hugged Nora tightly.

The little one shook her head. "As long as you love me."

Then she asked anxiously, "Daddy, will you have another baby with Auntie Miranda? Will you stop loving me when there is another brother or sister?"

Lachlan felt heartbroken but shook his head firmly, "No! I only need you!"

"Really?" Upon hearing this, the little girl's eyes lit up with joy.

"Really! My love belongs only to you." Lachlan patted his daughter's small head and said.

"Mmm..." This time, Nora obediently closed her eyes and soon fell asleep with even breathing. Her face still had a sweet smile on it, melting Lachlan's heart.

After his daughter fell asleep, Lachlan left the room quietly. "Mr. Willis, you're not sleeping yet?" The maid responsible for cleaning and cooking in the villa respectfully asked him as he passed by.

"Nope! Just taking a stroll! You can go to bed if there is nothing else." Lachlan nodded politely before walking into the courtyard outside.

In the vast courtyard, Lachlan found a secluded spot and sat down cross-legged. Then, he began to breathe and circulate the "Dragon Soul Immortal Technique" cultivation method.

He absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body, merging it with the dragon energy emanating from his left kidney. This process continuously tempered his physical body, widened his meridians, and refined his dantian.

"Mom, since Miranda has completed the task, according to our previous agreement, we shouldn't force her to marry Isa anymore," Emmanuel said in a deep voice.

After speaking, his gaze swept across the room with an air of pride. His daughter's achievement made him feel even more proud as a father within the family.

"Hmph! What agreement? Everyone knows it was just to make her give up resistance. Even if she completes it so what? Are we really going to offend the Austin family?" Romeo questioned.

"What do you mean offend the Austin family? It's just Isa. Fine then! Even if our family doesn't help Miranda reject Isa's proposal, at least don't force her," Cara said indignantly.

As soon as she finished speaking there was silence among those present. Victoria's expression also changed frequently during this time.

In her mind, she was extremely displeased with her granddaughter.

As someone who always had the final say in the Lowe family, she felt like her granddaughter had just slapped her in the face.

"You're not really going to help my cousin plan a wedding with that guy, are you?" Harlow asked coldly.

"Well, since I've said it, of course I'll keep my word! Lachlan seems to have some ability and if Miranda likes him, then we can accept it," Emmanuel replied solemnly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Victoria snorted heavily. "Nonsense! Even if she doesn't want to marry Isa, there's no need to hold a wedding with that guy! This is simply provocation against the Austin family and Mr. Austin!"

Just then a threatening voice suddenly sounded from outside the hall. "That's right! You all better think carefully! The the Austin family - even just Mr. Austin - is not something you can afford to offend."

Looking towards where the voice came from, they saw a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walking in followed by several bodyguards. It was none other than Isa's henchman Kayden.

"Today Mr. Austin has sent me here to deliver a message for you. If you can't control Miranda and make her behave herself then be prepared for punishment from the Austin family!" he threatened.

"At that time your family will surely decline!"
