Daddy the Miracle Medic

Chapter 355 Night Market Encounter

Chapter 355 Night Market Encounter

Next, Lachlan threw one hoop after another almost without fail!

The onlookers here didn't care whose hoop it was and began to scramble for them.

"Mine!"

"Haha, this is mine..."

"This one also has a hoop on it, just take it!"

The vendor looked at the scene and shouted until his voice went hoarse, but to no avail!

Even the crowd that had been scrambling for hoops pushed him over and he sat on the ground withtears in his eyes.

"Let's go."

At this time, Lachlan picked up all the things Nora and Miranda had bought and called out to the twowomen before leaving this hoop stall.

"Mhmm! Daddy is great!"

Nora hugged her teddy bear with a happy smile.

Actually, Lachlan had discovered that the vendor was colluding with the bald man to stimulatecustomers but hadn't planned on doing anything too extreme. It wasn't unreasonable to use it as anincentive for consumption.

He only intended to throw three hoops before leaving since even the most expensive things in thesestalls weren't worth much in his eyes. But he hadn't expected such shamelessness from the vendor!

Clearly he had hooked onto that large copper gourd himself, but he exchanged it for an ordinarygourd instead of admitting his mistake. Ha ha! Did he think his customers were fools?Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

After returning everything back into their car following this incident, Lachlan continuedaccompanying Nora and Miranda as they strolled around aimlessly.

There was nothing else he could do since both Nora and Goddess CEO still seemed very interesteddespite having walked around for nearly half an hour now. Eventually, the three of them arrived atEast Night Market where Lachlan's gaze suddenly sharpened upon seeing a woman sellinghandicrafts nearby.

This woman wore cheap clothes, and her belly bulged slightly indicating she was pregnant.

The woman sat beside two little girls; the older one about Nora's age while younger appeared onlytwo or three years old. When Lachlan saw them, his brow furrowed, and he took steps towardsthem.

"Daddy, you want to buy some handicrafts?" Upon seeing what happened, Nora followed along withMiranda. They'd been walking together all day, but this was still first time Lachlan activelyapproached any stall by himself.

After coming closer, Lachlan spoke up looking at her face, "Madam, why are you standing hereselling stuff while you're pregnant?"

The woman paused for a moment, then looked up at Lachlan. A complex expression flickeredacross her face.

Awkward, ashamed, embarrassed, and with a hint of resentment that she couldn't quite express.

"Lachlan, it's you? Are you here to make fun of us?" The woman chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Her two daughters were timidly looking at Lachlan. The older one whispered "Uncle Lachlan" ...

Lachlan smiled at the children and then shook his head at the woman. "Madam, why would you saythat?"

This woman was none other than Theo's wife Maryam Murphy!

Maryam gritted her teeth. "Lachlan, I know Theo wronged you before. But now he's missing and I'mjust trying to make ends meet for my children by setting up this stall. You don't have to come here togloat over our misfortune."

Maryam thought Lachlan held a grudge against her whole family and came specifically to revel intheir downfall.

It wasn't entirely unfounded since Theo had bad-mouthed Lachlan in front of his wife and kids manytimes before.

He said things like how ungrateful Lachlan was or how he wasn't worth anything...

As soon as those words left Maryam's mouth, Lachlan's expression changed instantly.

Miranda next to him also showed a hint of suspicion and surprise on her face.

Theo was missing?

Miranda knew who Theo was; she found out about him when they first arrived at Lachlan's factorygate together on their wedding day. This man used to be one of Lachlan's "brothers" back in theday; he even gave Miranda a stack of photos as a gift that day!

How could Miranda forget about someone like that?

"Theo is missing? What happened?" asked Lachlan sternly.

Maryam shook her head with a bitter smile, "One night he told me he had some business deal goingon where they owed him money so he went out for it... and never came back!"

"I've already reported it but there has been no news since then." She continued while cryinghelplessly, "I don't know if something terrible happened or if his conscience got eaten by dogs aftertaking the money away with another woman… Now all I have left are my two daughters plusanother child growing inside me."

She cried uncontrollably filled with confusion about life itself along with despair from having losteverything else including hope itself…

Hearing this news made Lachlan stand there silently while his expression kept changing.

Next second, Lachlan took a deep breath and said, "Don't cry. Give me your bank account numberand I'll give you some money. Take care of yourself and your kids! Here's my contact information. Ifyou encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to reach out to me!"

"What? You..."

"No need! Thank you..."

Maryam was stunned by Lachlan's words, her face filled with surprise. She didn't expect thatLachlan would still be willing to help her. She refused at first but eventually gave him her bankaccount number. Her life had been difficult lately and she could only accept it for the sake of herkids.

After transferring one million dollars to Maryam, Lachlan left with Miranda and Nora.

At this moment, he felt a pang in his heart!

He never expected that Theo would abandon his own wife and children like this?

In his heart, he definitely held resentment towards Theo but still had some affection for his wife andchildren since they used to be close friends before. Maryam was always very warm towards himwhen he visited their home.

"What a scumbag! Damn it!"

Lachlan became angrier as he thought about it while getting into the car.

Miranda sat in the back seat with Nora; her beautiful eyes flickered as she coldly asked, "You callsomeone else a scumbag but what about yourself?"

"Me? What did I do wrong? No matter what happens I wouldn't just abandon my own wife or child."

Lachlan felt uneasy after being confronted by Miranda's question.

Miranda bit her lip hesitantly before saying, "Perhaps Theo didn't run away on purpose... maybesomeone silenced him?"

Upon hearing this statement from Miranda, Lachlan furrowed his brows then asked, "Silenced him?Who silenced him? He is just an ordinary person; how could anyone possibly involve themselveswith something like that?"

"It involves you."

Miranda spoke calmly yet firmly.

Claudia had already planted seeds of doubt within Miranda's mind during their last conversationwhich made her suspicious now more than ever regarding Theo's disappearance.
