Daddy the Miracle Medic (Lachlan and Miranda) novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42 After slapping once, there's still another slap

After hanging up the phone, Zak's brow furrowed tightly, unable to hide his disappointment.

Beside him, Scarlet sneered. "I thought he was really something special, but it turns out he's just another greedy guy. He only wants to use your connection to make money for himself! So disappointing!"

The wealthy heiress shook her head and spoke with a heavy dose of disdain towards Lachlan.

"I never expected Lachlan to be so desperate for success! He wants me to promote his new blood clotting medicine in the military?" Zak shook his head as well, now having a much lower opinion of Lachlan.

"Dad, don't help him! Hmph!" Scarlet pouted her lips.

"Let's wait and see. He said he made a sample that I can try out. If it works okay, I'll turn him down. But if it actually works well... I might give him some help as a favor." Zak spoke calmly.

"Hmm... let's see the sample first before making any decisions. I don't believe his medicine could work better than what we already have in the military." Scarlet sounded unimpressed.

Meanwhile on Lachlan's end, after hanging up the phone call with Zak, he also sensed an attitude shift from Zak towards him.

"Ah... the more you use favors from people like this guy and Zak, the less they're worth."

He shrugged off his change in demeanor without much concern since he didn't expect anything intimate or personal from him anyway.

"Let's just use up these favors and move on," Lachlan thought to himself, determined to help Miranda through her troubles. Just then, his phone rang and he recognized the number with a slap to his forehead. He had almost forgotten about this.

"Hello? Miss Bates?" he answered, trying to sound casual.

"Well well well, you still remember me?" Reeva teased on the other end of the line.

"How could I forget?" Lachlan chuckled nervously.

"You promised me some secret techniques," she reminded him. "How about we meet for lunch today?"

...

At 11:30 am, Reeva and Lachlan met at Ranlins Manor - a farm-themed amusement park known for its delicious cuisine and leisurely activities. They didn't bother with one of the quaint wooden cabins; instead they found a spot in the main hall to sit down together.

"Hey, did you bring it?" Reeva asked impatiently as soon as she saw Lachlan.

It was no secret that this was a big concern for a beautiful woman like her. Otherwise, Reeva wouldn't have contacted Lachlan herself - she just couldn't wait any longer.

"I brought it!" Lachlan smiled and handed her a handwritten copy of the Fierce Phoenix Heart Sutra.

Reeva took it uncertainly and asked, "Are you sure this will improve my physical condition?"

"Not only that, but practicing this should make you very powerful! However, if you use it to bully the weak or do evil deeds, don't blame me for using my skills to stop you!" Lachlan warned seriously.

The Fierce Phoenix Heart Sutra was one of the techniques stored in Lachlan's memory. He wasn't sure how powerful it was compared to his own Dragon Soul Immortal Technique which he had practiced himself. But he knew for sure that it was much stronger than those so-called martial arts in today's society.

Hearing this warning from Lachlan made Reeva snort dismissively. "I won't do anything evil with it. And if you try to stop me by force... well..."

This girl thought highly of herself because she had trained with her grandfather since childhood and already developed her energy at such a young age.

She believed that although Lachlan might be good at medicine, he couldn't possibly be better than her in martial arts just because he had obtained this technique - after all, having access to something didn't necessarily mean mastering its use.

Regardless of medical skills or martial arts, they all require years of hard work to achieve success. Lachlan was young, but his medical skills were already so accomplished.

He must have devoted himself entirely to medicine and couldn't possibly have the energy to study anything else.

When Lachlan saw the disdainful expression on this girl's face, he didn't pay much attention and just smiled.

At this moment, Reeva thought of something and a blush appeared on her pretty face. After hesitating for a while, she tentatively asked, "By the way, Lachlan, your medical skills are so amazing. Can you treat... that kind of illness?"

"What kind?" Lachlan was taken aback.
