Upon seeing someone disrespect her father, Nora felt a bit indignant. Nathan and Keagan kept their mouths shut, not wanting to argue with a child. However, they still held disdain and mistrust towards Lachlan in their hearts.
But now that Kailey's condition seemed to have improved, they didn't stop him anymore. However, deep down inside, they only thought that Lachlan had some basic first aid skills and had just alleviated Kailey's condition slightly.
After a moment...
"Okay!"
Lachlan removed the silver needle from Kailey's wrist and sterilized it with dragon energy before putting it away.
"Kailey, how do you feel?" Keagan nervously asked his wife.
At this point, Kailey was flushed but shook her head and said, "I'm fine! I've never felt as comfortable as I do now."
Looking at Lachlan again with slightly softer eyes, she added, "Young man, you really have some first aid skills. You've helped me out quite a bit!"
For so many years now Kailey had never felt her heart beat so strongly before.
"It wasn't just an alleviation; your heart disease is already cured! You can go to the hospital for an examination tomorrow." Lachlan shook his head lightly as he spoke calmly.
Hearing this news left Allison's family stunned; looking at Lachlan incredulously on their faces.
"Lachlan, what are you saying? My mother's heart disease... it's cured? Is it true?" Allison looked skeptical.
"Damn! Finally figured out how you managed to win over my sister! You really know how to talk big don't you?! Just because of one needle prick from earlier my mother's heart disease is cured? Who are you trying to fool?" Nathan swore angrily.
Keagan and Kailey also looked at Lachlan with unfriendly eyes once again.
"Young man, speak responsibly! Allison's mother has severe organic lesions in her heart which has reached the point where she needs an artificial one! Do you expect us believe that curing something like this can be done so easily?"
"If we actually believed in what you said, then there would be no need for further treatment; if something happens then it will be your fault. Do you understand?"
Lachlan shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "It really is cured now! Didn't I say earlier that if you're worried about it then go get checked at the hospital."
"Go to hell! Don't think you can win our family's approval just because you know a little bit of medical knowledge and can ease some symptoms!" Nathan shouted angrily.
"Don't even think about it! I'm telling you, my sister would never choose someone like you if she wants to find a man," he continued.
Nathan thought that Lachlan was just boasting, attempting to gain approval from his family and agreeing to interact with his sister.
Upon hearing this, Lachlan's gaze turned cold. "Don't assume that I have any intention of pursuing your sister. Even if I did, what's wrong with a man like me?"
"What kind of man should your sister be looking for?" he added.
Nathan sneered at Lachlan and looked at him disdainfully before revealing a hint of admiration and longing in his eyes. "If my sister is going to find someone, she needs to look for someone like Mr. Houghton! He's the real deal – commanding respect from everyone, able to call upon hundreds of followers with just one word. That's what makes a true man!"
"As for you? Ha ha ha... all you know is some basic medical knowledge – nothing special!" Nathan said contemptuously.
He admired those big shots in the underworld who could command respect from others without any effort. It was even his dream or life goal to become one someday – leading a group of followers wherever he went and being called "boss" by everyone around him!
Lachlan couldn't help but laugh when he heard Nathan speak like this; shaking his head silently at how naive Allison's brother was acting...
"Mr. Houghton is good enough for your sister? Kid, are your values twisted? Do even people like Scar become idols now?" Lachlan asked incredulously after hearing such nonsense from Nathan's mouth.
Allison's brother changed color immediately after hearing these words; shouting furiously, "What did you say?! How dare you call Mr. Houghton that?! You're asking for trouble if anyone hears this - they'll chop off both of your hands!"
