Chapter 181 When Things Go Awry, There Must Be Something Off
Romeo wasn't there this time, after all, he couldn't always be around Victoria.
But these past few days had been crucial, and he needed to keep an eye on Victoria's condition atall times.
To put it bluntly, they were hoping for her death!
So Eliza and Harlow, at least one of them needed to stay by her side.
Victoria was sunbathing when she saw Lachlan and the others. Her face immediately darkened.
"Why are you here? Who let you in? Get out!"
Victoria seemed to be filled with endless resentment as she rudely ordered her three sons out of hersight.
Especially when she looked at Lachlan, there was a thick hatred in her eyes!
Lachlan had injured all the experts of the Lowe family, leaving them severely weakened!
Their plan to weaken Mason had failed miserably!
Since their eldest granddaughter married Lachlan, Victoria had suffered countless setbacks fromthis arrogant family that they were used to dominating over!
Victoria hated Lachlan down to his bones!
"Cough cough... cough..."
Due to emotional excitement, Victoria began coughing violently a few times and revealed traces ofcrimson on the tissue covering her mouth.
"Mom! What's wrong with your body?"
Emmanuel asked worriedly when he saw what happened.
Miranda also looked serious with a hint of concern and guilt on her face because they thought thatthey were responsible for making Victoria angry like this.
"I have nothing to do with you guys! Get out!"
"Get outta here! I don't need you even if I die!"
Victoria cursed furiously.
At that moment, almost all color drained from her face; sunken eye sockets appeared whilecheekbones protruded prominently.
Emmanuel and Miranda felt surprised since it had only been a few days since they last met but nowVictoria appeared so haggard.
Lachlan frowned slightly as he scrutinized Victoria carefully; Her body was extremely weak; everyorgan was deteriorating continuously as if she were about to die soon.
Previously, Victoria's health was still very robust- even though Miranda made her spit blood once -her physical condition shouldn't have deteriorated so quickly?
However, Lachlan couldn't see any disease or poison affecting Victoria's body except for weakeningbodily functions.
It seemed like it was just a simple case of aging!
Gotta say, if someone messed with Victoria, they were pretty clever about it. They must be a skilleddoctor.
"Did you hear that? She wants you to leave!" Eliza shooed them away impatiently.
Harlow snorted, "What are you staring at? You coming here to protest and show off again?Grandma's health is getting worse every day because of you guys! If you don't leave now, do youwant to kill her early?"
Miranda and Emmanuel heard this and looked at Victoria who was weak and emaciated. Theirfaces turned ugly.
Meanwhile, Lachlan walked towards Victoria and said in a deep voice, "Looking at your conditionnow... I'm afraid you won't live much longer."
Hearing this made Victoria glare at him angrily. Her face turned slightly red from anger.
"Willis, are you here to gloat over my misfortune?" she asked furiously.
Eliza pointed at Lachlan and scolded him, "Lachlan! Are you even human?"
"Don't get too excited!" Harlow gritted his teeth.
"I haven't finished talking yet!" Lachlan sneered before continuing his words towards Victoria,"Based on your current situation... you won't live much longer! But if you don't want to die so soon...maybe I can help adjust your body."
Victoria laughed sarcastically upon hearing this. "You? Dale Hall couldn't do anything for me... whatmakes me think that you can change anything?"
"And besides," she continued, "Even if I die, I wouldn't let you treat me."
In reality, Victoria still wanted to live but she didn't trust Lachlan's medical skills nor did she believehe had good intentions...
"That's right! We've already found Dale to help her adjust her body! We don't need some youngman pretending to be the hero!" Eliza heard Lachlan wanting to help the old lady recover, and herface changed immediately.
She then stood in front of the old woman, coldly sneering as she spoke.
Harlow spat out contemptuously, "You can cure?! I think all you do is harm!"
"Grandma, let Lachlan give it a try. He's really skilled in medicine. The new drug developed by mycompany was actually researched by Lachlan, and he even treated Erik before!" Miranda looked atVictoria's weak appearance with anxiety and persuasion.
"Yes, Mom! Your health is important. Don't be stubborn now!" Emmanuel also patted his hand on hisback.
"Don't you understand? We have already invited Dale Hall. He is a top figure in the Priocia medicineindustry! He will help Victoria regulate her body. Lachlan is just an amateur who should leavequickly! If you disrupt the treatment process that Dale Hall has given to her, can you bear theresponsibility?" Eliza said coldly.
"That's right! Haven't you heard of Dale Hall? Our family has invited him long ago. You bring himhere to pretend to be filial piety? If it wasn't for your anger towards grandma, she wouldn't be likethis now! What are you pretending for?" Harlow also sarcastically said with an eerie tone.
This mother-daughter duo kept mentioning Dale Hall as if he was the top of medicine industry nomatter what their purpose was; they were trying hard to belittle and despise Lachlan.
"Dale Hall? Ha ha... I've heard of him too!"
"I wonder what kind of medicine he prescribed for her? Can I see his prescription so that I can learnsomething new?" At this point, Lachlan smiled casually and asked casually.
Victoria had become so weak that Lachlan suspected someone had tampered with her medication;there must have been some tricks involved which could not be seen from outside appearancesalone; therefore he wanted to try finding clues from the prescription itself.
"We don't have any prescriptions or medicines here; they are all confidential." Eliza sneered at himcoldly.
"No prescriptions or medicines huh? Let me take a look at the medicine then." Lachlan calmlyreplied without any change in expression.
"The medicine has already been taken today by Victoria!" Eliza retorted angrily while trying hard toconceal something behind her eyes.
"That's right! Your medical skills are garbage yet still want to steal secrets from Dale Hall's expertise- did you pay tuition fees yet?" Harlow also added disdainfully.
At that moment, two people walked into the courtyard. It was Dale and his young apprentice.
Dale Hall was taken aback when he saw Lachlan, but then he quietly handed a pair of medicine tohis apprentice and gestured at him.
He had just arrived, but he left quietly with the medicine.
At this point, Dale's eyes flickered a few times as several thoughts quickly flashed through his mind.
The next second, he smiled at Lachlan and greeted him warmly as if they were old acquaintances,"Hahaha... Isn't this Dr. Willis? Are you here to see Mrs. Lowe too? Her health is getting worse
every day and I'm really worried! With you here, Dr. Willis, maybe she'll really have a chance!Haha..."
Upon hearing this, Eliza and Harlow who had previously looked down on Lachlan were suddenlyconfused.
What was going on? The renowned Dale Hall was actually praising Lachlan like this?
The implication in his words seemed to suggest that Lachlan's medical skills were even better thanhis own?
And at this moment, Lachlan also showed a hint of surprise!novelbin
What game was Dale playing? Based on their last encounter, he should hate him instead!
Why was he complimenting him now?
Something fishy must be going on!
