Daddy the Miracle Medic (Lachlan and Miranda) novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105 It's My Respect

The quality of this raw stone was simply top-notch, but there seemed to be some traces of previous cutting on it.

Although it had been polished, people can still see it.

Cara's eyes lit up when she saw this raw stone. She likes jade, so she knew a little about raw stones.

Daniel's birthday gift really moved her.

"Mrs. Lowe, my boss brought this raw stone back from Moclington and rewarded me for my good performance! I heard that you like jade, so I specially brought it over to give to you! With the quality of this raw stone, there is an 80% chance that a top-quality jade can be cut out from it. You can choose whatever you like when the time comes." Daniel said with a smile.

"Auntie, they say that this raw stone can sell for millions. Daniel wishes you well and put in a lot of effort." Ellie held onto Daniel proudly as she spoke.

"Daniel is thoughtful! But it's too expensive; let's forget about it!"

Although Cara was tempted, she still refused. What would people think if her sister's future son-in-law gave such an expensive birthday gift? If she accepted it herself, then wouldn't they appear inferior?

"Don't refuse! It's just the younger generation expressing their gratitude; don't be polite!" Celine tried to persuade her while showing off at the same time.

But both Celine and Cannon were cursing inside because they didn't expect Daniel to be so generous as to give such a good piece of raw stone to Cara instead of keeping it for himself...

However since he had already given away the gift and they had come today specifically to show off their superiority complex again... it wouldn't look good if Daniel took back his present now!

Just then someone sneered, "Of course there are many more like these - just pieces of scrap."

Lachlan looked at the rock with disdain while Miranda showed suspicion on her beautiful face as if thinking about something else entirely...

Hearing these words made Daniel angry; pointing at Lachlan he shouted, "What did you say? Scrap? Anyone with half an eye could tell that this is top-grade material! There's an 80% chance we'll get high-quality jade outta here!"

"You're just jealous because you couldn't afford anything nice yourself!"

"Just so! You, what kind of birthday gift did you prepare for your mother-in-law? I'm afraid it's not presentable, right? Do you have the nerve to speak?" Celine taunted.

Celine's husband joined in, mocking, "Right!"

"Very well," Lachlan nodded calmly without a trace of hesitation.

The next moment, he opened a wooden box he was holding and carefully took out a jade Buddha, about the size of a newborn baby, encrusted with gold.

"Mrs. Lowe, this is a jade Buddha carved from the finest Emperor Green jade. It's my birthday gift to you. I wish you a happy birthday," Lachlan said, holding the jade Buddha in his hands as he presented it to Cara.

Seeing this jade Buddha, everyone in the room, except for Miranda, displayed expressions of astonishment. Cara, in particular, was overjoyed.

The jade Buddha was incredibly translucent and exquisitely rounded, a delight to behold. The gold trim was seamless and extraordinarily fine in craftsmanship.

Celine's family stared at this jade Buddha with expressions of disbelief. How could a son-in-law who had just married into the family produce a piece of fine Emperor Green jade? It seemed impossible.

"What Emperor Green jade? Are you kidding us? This is such a large jade Buddha. If it were genuinely carved from Emperor Green jade, it would be worth at least 10 million!" Daniel scoffed. "Lachlan, where did you find this fake? I deal with jade and gemstones every day, and I can tell at a glance that this jade Buddha is a fake."

"Just so! Talking about Emperor Green jade carvings? You're really bold! Cara, does your son-in-law think you're a fool?" Celine added, looking disdainful.

Hearing this, Cara's eyes filled with doubt.

"Regardless of whether it's genuine or fake, it's the thought that counts," she reasoned.

Cara also found it highly improbable. This large jade Buddha was undoubtedly invaluable. If she were to consider that Lachlan managed to acquire such an expensive gift, she couldn't believe it.
