Daddy the Miracle Medic (Lachlan and Miranda) novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255 Toad, How Have You Been Getting By?

As Lachlan walked towards the gate, he waved his hand at Dennis to indicate that he had nothing to do with it. Then, his eyes fell on the stunningly fashionable woman with starry eyes and an expression of surprise. "Carissa Leon?" he asked.

The woman was wearing a revealing outfit that showed off her long legs, making her stand out in the village.

Carissa was from the Carningsby Village and was around the same age as Lachlan. Her father owned a quarry in the mountains east of the village and could be considered its "richest" man. He also employed several people.

Thanks to her family's wealth and influence in the area, Carissa had always been proud like a swan and looked down on anyone her age in the village - including Lachlan.

Lachlan attended school with Carissa from elementary through middle school but had little interaction with her except for one misunderstanding they had during their third year of middle school.

"Tsk tsk," Carissa sneered as she surveyed Lachlan up and down upon seeing him again after so many years away without notice. "When did this frog sneak back into town?"

"I just got here this morning," replied Lachlan nonchalantly as he rubbed his nose. "I'm busy right now, so if you don't have anything important to say, let's catch up another time."

With that said, Lachlan began closing the gate without bothering to say much more to Carissa because their relationship wasn't exactly what one would call friendly due to their past history together.

However, before he could close it completely shut behind him though, she grabbed onto his shirt tightly while pointing at his nose accusingly, "Did I tell you that you can leave? Huh?"

She then coldly laughed while asking, "What are you trying to prove? Have you forgotten how hard you chased after me back when we were still in middle school? How come now that things aren't going your way anymore? Suddenly it's too embarrassing for you even look at me?"

Upon hearing these words from Carissa's mouth, Lachlan's face darkened immediately, "Carissa," he said sternly while shaking off her grip on him gently but firmly nonetheless. "That was years ago! Why bring it up again now?"

He continued by saying, "Besides… I've explained countless times already about how I didn't write those love letters back then. Someone else made me deliver them."

Because Carissa came from a well-off family since she was young, she dressed up and dressed very stylishly when she entered junior high school, and she was indeed beautiful.

As a result, she became the school's beauty.

At that time, there was a troublemaker in Lachlan's class who had a secret crush on Carissa. Knowing that Lachlan and Carissa were from the same village, he forced Lachlan to help him deliver a love letter.

But the annoying thing was that the guy didn't write his name on the love letter, so Carissa mistakenly thought it was Lachlan who liked her.

Coincidentally, at that time, the leader of the troublemakers in the fourth grade was also pursuing Carissa, so the troublemaker in Lachlan's class would never admit that he wrote the love letter.

As a result, Lachlan took all the blame.

Not only did he get beaten up by the leader from fourth year but ever since then, Carissa would often humiliate him and call him "toad" repeatedly.

This incident became Lachlan's biggest shame at that time.

He never thought that after so many years had passed, Carissa would still bring it up!

The nickname "toad" still rolled off her tongue easily as she sneered at him with disdain on her face.

"You're still such a loser 'toad.' Even now you can't admit what you did back then? But I guess it's no surprise. Someone like you is destined to be a nobody for life. You're only fit for secret admiration and feeling inferior in front of me. Tsk tsk..."

She pointed towards the bus and mocked him saying, "I bet this is what you do now right? I heard you got into college but after graduation became just another bus driver? It's hilarious! How have you been getting by, 'toad'?"

"What I do has nothing to do with you!"

Lachlan furrowed his brow and spoke expressionlessly before forcefully shaking off Carissa's hand grabbing onto his clothes. He couldn't be bothered dealing with such women anymore.

"Ahh!"

However, he may have used too much force. Carissa stumbled backwards and let out an alarmed cry as she fell onto the ground due to wearing high heels which caused her ankle to twist painfully.
