Daddy the Miracle Medic (Lachlan and Miranda) novel Chapter 440

Chapter 440 Demon

Half an hour later...

Outside the Ward Residence, an SUV was parked there!

Inside the car, there was no one.

At this moment, a group of people led by Erik gathered around with puzzled expressions.

"What's going on?"

"Kiera and Chloe are almost home. Where are they? Why aren't they here?"

Erik asked with a serious and worried expression.

"I don't know either, Mr. Ward ! When I found this car, there was no one inside..." A bodyguard from the Ward family explained nervously.

Erik tried calling Kiera and Rowan several times but got no answer. He began to panic.

He immediately called his grandson Henry to investigate what happened because this situation was too strange. The car was parked just outside the Ward Residence gate but now both Kiera and Chloe were missing. Something must have happened!

Just at that moment, Erik's phone rang. He glanced at it and saw that it was a call from Lachlan.

"Mr. Willis?" Erik answered.

However, he was obviously puzzled. Why would Lachlan be calling him? Since the incident with Nora's illness in the Ward family, their relationship had been somewhat awkward. Besides attending Lachlan and Miranda's wedding, Erik hadn't had much interaction with Lachlan for a long time.

"Mr. Ward, has Kiera and Chloe returned home?" Lachlan asked directly.

Upon hearing this, Erik's face froze. "Mr. Willis, why are you asking this? Do you know something?"

Lachlan sensed that something was off from Erik's tone and quickly asked, "Has something happened?"

"They have gone missing..." Erik hesitated for a moment and explained the situation to Lachlan.

"Mr. Willis, do you know what happened? Where are Kiera and Chloe? What does this have to do with you?" Erik questioned, his tone filled with suspicion and doubt. It seemed like he suspected that Lachlan was involved.

Lachlan couldn't explain everything at that moment, so he simply said in a serious tone, "Mr. Ward, please don't worry! I will do everything I can to find Kiera and Chloe. Keep your phone available, and I will contact you anytime!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone directly. Then, relying on the true energy mark within Chloe's body, he rushed in a certain direction at high speed.

...

In the western suburbs of Edoland, in a partially developed slum area, most of the residents had already moved out because the area was scheduled for demolition. Only a large number of empty houses remained, giving the place a desolate and eerie atmosphere, even in broad daylight.

Inside a residential house, Kiera and Rowan were both unconscious, tightly bound with chains to the ceiling beam.

Chloe, feeling a sudden pain in her small hand, woke up immediately. Opening her usually clever big eyes, she saw a withered and wrinkled face right in front of her.

"Ah!"

"A ghost!"

Chloe was frightened, her face turned pale, and she screamed in fear.

"... A ghost?" The owner of the withered face smirked and pinched Chloe's cheek. "Am I scarier than a ghost?"

Chloe sat on the ground, looking at the withered old man in front of her with fear and panic in her eyes.

At that moment, she glanced at her right hand and saw a needle stuck in it. It was the needle that had awakened her just now.

Chloe also noticed her unconscious aunt and Rowan, who were bound there, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.

"Auntie! Rowan!"

"Wake up! There are bad people... Huhuhu..."

Chloe desperately screamed, trying to wake up the adults to save her.

However, Kiera and Rowan, who seemed to have been tampered with by the withered old man, showed no response whatsoever.
