Daddy the Miracle Medic (Lachlan and Miranda) novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35 He is my brother-in-law!

As soon as Lachlan spoke, Conor's face turned completely pale. A deep sense of panic and resentment flashed through his eyes.

Swish!

The next second, Conor who was just pleading for mercy, suddenly rushed towards the window on the second floor.

He wanted to jump out of it and escape!

Zak snorted coldly when he saw this and chased after him like thunder.

Although Conor had some skills, he was no match for Zak who was a warrior on their side. After exchanging a few moves, Zak hit Conor with one palm at the back of his neck which made him faint instantly.

They pulled off Conor's pants and found that he was wearing something like a diaper. It looked like something worn by wrestlers in some country.

"Hmph! Skiola people?" Zak sneered heavily with coldness and anger in his eyes. "I knew this guy wasn't any good!"

Seeing this scene, Mason cursed through gritted teeth with a hint of satisfaction in his expression.

"Hmm..."

At that moment, a faint whisper was heard and Scarlet woke up from her slumber on the bed.

"Scarlet! Scarlet, you're awake!" Zak exclaimed with a choked voice.

"Dad..."

Scarlet called out in confusion before her face suddenly changed and she urgently asked, "Conor! Where's Conor? He's a Skiola spy who infiltrated the research institute!"

"I already know!"

The truth was finally revealed!

It was because Scarlet had accidentally discovered Conor's identity that she fell victim to his murderous scheme!

"Bring Conor Cox down and interrogate him thoroughly!" Zak ordered coldly as a high-ranking military official of Priocia. He undoubtedly hated enemy spies.

"Scarlet, you've finally woken up! I brought people over to save you and caught this spy! I told you earlier that he wasn't a good person and not to get too close to him!" At this point, Mason approached Scarlet with an air of pride on his face, hoping to win her favor.

"It turns out it's Mr. Lowe! Thank you so much!" Scarlet smiled politely, her pretty face showing no sign of distance or intimacy. It was clear that Mason still had a long way to go in pursuing her.

At that moment, Zak strode up to Lachlan and said, "Thank you for saving my daughter, little miracle worker! I was disrespectful before, so let me apologize and make it up to you!" As he spoke, the high-ranking official was about to kneel down and apologize to Lachlan.

Lachlan quickly held him back and said, "Mr. Harris, you're too kind. This is all part of my job. I cannot accept such a behavior from you..."

Zak looked at Lachlan with surprise in his eyes. He was powerful enough that kneeling down wasn't just an act of courtesy but something he really intended to do.

However, despite his strength, he couldn't kneel down and was held up by this young man.

A master!

Unexpectedly, this young man not only had excellent medical skills but also formidable martial arts abilities.

"Alright, I won't beat around the bush. I'm a rough person, not very slick, and I don't have much money to repay you with. But there are people who want to curry favor with me, so they gifted me a villa in Emerald Green Estates. I'm not accustomed to living in such a place, and it's been sitting vacant. How about I give it to you, my young friend?" Zak stood tall as he spoke boldly.

Upon hearing this, Mason's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

The villas in the Emerald Green Estates were worth millions of dollars, and it was said that Zak's villa was one of the best in the entire complex. And yet, Zak was giving it as a gift to his brother-in-law?

What a generous gesture!

"I don't need this," Lachlan shook his head, trying to decline.

But Zak waved his hand dismissively. "Apologies are enough, but you must accept a token of gratitude! Otherwise, it would be like you're looking down on me. Come on, my daughter isn't worth less than a rundown villa, is she?"

With no other choice left for him now that things had come to this point, Lachlan could only nod and accept the offer.

It just so happened that he had been planning on buying a house in a few days anyway; now it seemed like there was no need for him to do so anymore...

"By the way little bro," Zak asked eagerly. "What's your name? Do you have your ID with you? I'll get everything sorted out right away."

"Lachlan Wills," he replied with a smile.

As soon as he spoke those words though, Clifford's expression changed slightly - excitement flickered across his face as he asked, "You're Mr. Wills? The one who saved Mr. Ward at the morning market and is also known as our little miracle worker?"

Lachlan nodded once again, "Yes... why do you ask?"

Clifford chuckled bitterly and shook his head in self-deprecation. "No wonder! No wonder... If I had known it was you, the little miracle worker, I wouldn't have made a fool of myself today!"

Thinking back to when Lachlan had warned him earlier and he had still lectured him with veiled insults, Clifford felt ashamed.

At this point, Mason looked at Clifford and then at Lachlan. Finally, he let go of his last bit of suspicion towards Lachlan. It seemed that this guy really did save Erik!

Next, Zak warmly invited Lachlan to sit in the living room downstairs. "Scarlet, why don't you come over and thank your savior?"

Scarlet obediently walked over and bowed deeply to Lachlan. "Thank you so much for saving my life."

"Don't thank me; you should thank Mason instead. He's the one who brought me here. This guy hasn't slept well for several days because of you," said Lachlan as he waved his hand dismissively towards Mason.

Lachlan knew that Mason was pursuing Scarlet and didn't mind doing a favor for him.

Upon hearing this, Scarlet smiled at Mason gratefully, "Mr. Lowe, you're very kind."

"It's nothing; it's nothing!" Mason exclaimed excitedly while thanking Lachlan with a grateful look.

Lachlan rolled his eyes inwardly thinking how even Mason was acting like a lapdog in front of his goddess...

Zak snorted lightly as he glanced at Mason fawning over his daughter.

It was clear that he still had some animosity towards Mason. However, he didn't want to embarrass Mason since he was in a good mood. Although Scarlet had just woken up, Lachlan injected her with a strand of dragon energy which made her complexion rosy and her spirit surprisingly full.

Zak couldn't help but be amazed at Lachlan's medical skills. "Lachlan, not only are you skilled in medicine, but also martial arts?" Zak asked tentatively after chatting with Lachlan for a while. He wasn't one to stand on ceremony and had already started calling Lachlan his first name.

Lachlan nodded modestly. "Hmm, I know a little."

"Haha! Anyone who can hold their own against me is definitely more than just 'a little' skilled. You're young, incredibly skilled in medicine, and exceptionally powerful-a remarkable individual!" Zak praised sincerely.

"I'm not like that," Lachlan replied humbly. "It's the various martial arts of Priocia that are powerful enough to make me like this."

Zak slapped his thigh upon hearing this and exclaimed, "Well said! It's the martial arts of Priocia that are impressive! Not only do you have great skills, you also have an unwavering love for your country! Truly rare!"

Zak looked at Lachlan with increasing admiration in his eyes.

As he spoke, he glanced at Mason with disdain. "Unlike some rich kids who do nothing all day but hang around without contributing anything to the country or society! And yet you want to pursue my daughter! Hmph!"

With that, Mason's face turned red and his expression was as awkward as it could be.

Mason was a prominent figure in Edoland, but now he was being scolded and dared not talk back.

"By the way, Lachlan, are you married? My daughter is twenty-six years old this year. She's pretty enough. You guys can get to know each other more!"

Upon hearing this, two people present were suddenly anxious.

"Dad, what are you talking about?" Scarlet said angrily.

"Mr. Harris... he's my brother-in-law!" Mason exclaimed with an involuntary twitch of his face.
