Daddy the Miracle Medic (Lachlan and Miranda) novel Chapter 83

Chapter 83 Isa's Threat

"Uh, okay! Okay..." Lachlan wiped the sweat from his forehead and shrunk back in front of the powerful goddess CEO.

He had sold himself to her, so he had to listen to whatever she said...

"Hmph! That's more like it. And you better not get too close with other women now that you're my husband on paper. It wouldn't be good for me or my family's reputation. Who's jealous?" Miranda sneered arrogantly.

"Okay, I understand," Lachlan nodded sheepishly.

"Auntie, if you don't like my Daddy, why did you marry him?" Nora asked innocently with her face upturned.

"I... I just don't like him right now. Maybe I'll grow to like him later," Miranda hesitated a bit before answering.

Should she tell naive little Nora that this was just a transaction? She didn't know why but deep down inside, she didn't want to say it out loud.

"Oh okay then. You better start liking my Daddy soon though or he'll have another wife again," Nora giggled.

Nora blinked her big eyes and urged, "Come on, Daddy!"

Lachlan rubbed Nora's nose with a frown. "Why are you so worried, little girl?"

The beautiful CEO's face lit up with a tempting blush.

That night!

Lachlan sat by the bed and told Nora the story of Cinderella to help her fall asleep.

But tonight, Nora couldn't sleep.

She opened her eyes again, and there was a hint of unease and sadness in her big eyes.

"Daddy, am I really Mommy's biological daughter?"

Lachlan felt a pang in his heart at these words. He also felt hatred towards Claudia.

"Claudia! Do you know how much harm you've caused our daughter?" he thought to himself.

"Sweetie, your Mommy was just confused for a while. She knows she was wrong now. I will find someone better to be your Mommy if that's okay with you." Lachlan said lovingly as he hugged Nora tightly.

The little one shook her head. "As long as you love me."

Then she asked anxiously, "Daddy, will you have another baby with Auntie Miranda? Will you stop loving me when there is another brother or sister?"

Lachlan felt heartbroken but shook his head firmly, "No! I only need you!"

"Really?" Upon hearing this, the little girl's eyes lit up with joy.

"Really! My love belongs only to you." Lachlan patted his daughter's small head and said.

"Mmm..." This time, Nora obediently closed her eyes and soon fell asleep with even breathing. Her face still had a sweet smile on it, melting Lachlan's heart.

After his daughter fell asleep, Lachlan left the room quietly. "Mr. Willis, you're not sleeping yet?" The maid responsible for cleaning and cooking in the villa respectfully asked him as he passed by.

"Nope! Just taking a stroll! You can go to bed if there is nothing else." Lachlan nodded politely before walking into the courtyard outside.

In the vast courtyard, Lachlan found a secluded spot and sat down cross-legged. Then, he began to breathe and circulate the "Dragon Soul Immortal Technique" cultivation method.

He absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body, merging it with the dragon energy emanating from his left kidney. This process continuously tempered his physical body, widened his meridians, and refined his dantian.
