Daddy the Miracle Medic (Lachlan and Miranda) novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144 Weeping in the Middle of the Night

That night, in the middle of the night, mournful cries echoed through the McLaughlin family's private villa. It sounded eerie in the darkness.

Darwin and his father Philip McLaughlin stood in a room, their faces filled with suspicion and alarm as they listened to Mrs. McLaughlin, Kristina McLaughlin, crying hysterically on the floor.

"What's going on? Honey, what happened?" Philip asked anxiously.

It was frightening to wake up in the middle of the night to find your partner crying uncontrollably beside you. But Kristina wasn't just crying; she was also acting insane. She was cutting up bed sheets with scissors while sobbing nonstop.

No matter how much they called out to her, she didn't respond at all. She seemed completely out of her mind.

"Dad, is Mom possessed or something?" Darwin asked nervously.

"Quick! Call Master Soidho!" Philip shouted urgently upon hearing his son's words.

Soon enough, Master Soidho arrived at the McLaughlin family's home looking rushed and concerned about Kristina's condition.

"Master Soidho! Thank goodness you're here!" Philip greeted him eagerly. "My wife is acting strange tonight and won't stop crying no matter what we do."

"Don't worry," Master Soidho said after examining Kristina upstairs for a moment. "She has been affected by negative energy from evil spirits that roam around during nighttime hours - it happens quite often actually - but I can perform an exorcism ritual to help her."

At this point, Darwin spoke up hesitantly, "Master Soidho... is my mom going to be okay? Someone told me earlier today that I have a bad omen because two stars fell from my constellation which means my mother might be in danger..."

Hearing this made Master Soidho chuckle, "Mr. McLaughlin... nine out of ten people who claim they can predict fate are frauds. Don't believe everything you hear!"

After hearing these words from Master Soidho, Darwin breathed a sigh of relief and silently cursed Lachlan under his breath for scaring him like that earlier today...

A few moments later, after Master Soidho performed his ritualistic duties, Kristina finally calmed down enough to fall asleep peacefully on her bed once again...

"Alright, let Mrs. McLaughlin rest well!" Master Soidho said with a smile.

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!" Philip expressed his gratitude.

"Master Soidho is truly skilled and knowledgeable. Unlike some people who just talk nonsense and scare others with false information," Darwin also complimented and then asked, "Master, how much do we owe you for this?"

"You have been working with me for years. How can I charge you for helping out? Consider it as friends helping each other out!" Master Soidho declined the offer generously.

Hearing this, Darwin was impressed, "Master Soidho, you have integrity unlike some people who scared me by saying my mom was in life-threatening danger and demanded 10 million dollars! Ha ha... This is 100, 000 dollars. Please accept it as a token of our appreciation."

Master Soidho smiled and refused a few times before accepting the money graciously. Then he sneered disdainfully, "These days there are all kinds of people! They're crazy about money? 10 million dollars? He's really asking to be ripped off!"

Philip also snorted coldly, "Who is this arrogant person?"

Darwin shrugged indifferently, "Just an insignificant nobody!"

Philip didn't bother to ask further but warmly invited Master Soidho to stay at his house since it was already late at night, "Why don't we rest at my place? I'll have someone prepare some food for us to eat before sleeping."

"That would be great," replied Master Soidho without hesitation.

Next, Philip had the villa's chef prepare a table full of delicious dishes while he and Darwin drank wine with Master Soidho in good spirits!

However, suddenly there was noise coming from upstairs followed by a woman crying loudly.
