Chapter 197 Not Relief, But Cure
Upon seeing someone disrespect her father, Nora felt a bit indignant. Nathan and Keagan kept theirmouths shut, not wanting to argue with a child. However, they still held disdain and mistrust towardsLachlan in their hearts.
But now that Kailey's condition seemed to have improved, they didn't stop him anymore. However,deep down inside, they only thought that Lachlan had some basic first aid skills and had justalleviated Kailey's condition slightly.
After a moment...
"Okay!"
Lachlan removed the silver needle from Kailey's wrist and sterilized it with dragon energy beforeputting it away.
"Kailey, how do you feel?" Keagan nervously asked his wife.
At this point, Kailey was flushed but shook her head and said, "I'm fine! I've never felt ascomfortable as I do now."novelbin
Looking at Lachlan again with slightly softer eyes, she added, "Young man, you really have somefirst aid skills. You've helped me out quite a bit!"
For so many years now Kailey had never felt her heart beat so strongly before.
"It wasn't just an alleviation; your heart disease is already cured! You can go to the hospital for anexamination tomorrow." Lachlan shook his head lightly as he spoke calmly.
Hearing this news left Allison's family stunned; looking at Lachlan incredulously on their faces.
"Lachlan, what are you saying? My mother's heart disease... it's cured? Is it true?" Allison lookedskeptical.
"Damn! Finally figured out how you managed to win over my sister! You really know how to talk bigdon't you?! Just because of one needle prick from earlier my mother's heart disease is cured? Whoare you trying to fool?" Nathan swore angrily.
Keagan and Kailey also looked at Lachlan with unfriendly eyes once again.
"Young man, speak responsibly! Allison's mother has severe organic lesions in her heart which hasreached the point where she needs an artificial one! Do you expect us believe that curing somethinglike this can be done so easily?"
"If we actually believed in what you said, then there would be no need for further treatment; ifsomething happens then it will be your fault. Do you understand?"
Lachlan shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "It really is cured now! Didn't I say earlier that if you'reworried about it then go get checked at the hospital."
"Go to hell! Don't think you can win our family's approval just because you know a little bit ofmedical knowledge and can ease some symptoms!" Nathan shouted angrily.
"Don't even think about it! I'm telling you, my sister would never choose someone like you if shewants to find a man," he continued.
Nathan thought that Lachlan was just boasting, attempting to gain approval from his family andagreeing to interact with his sister.
Upon hearing this, Lachlan's gaze turned cold. "Don't assume that I have any intention of pursuingyour sister. Even if I did, what's wrong with a man like me?"
"What kind of man should your sister be looking for?" he added.
Nathan sneered at Lachlan and looked at him disdainfully before revealing a hint of admiration andlonging in his eyes. "If my sister is going to find someone, she needs to look for someone like Mr.Houghton! He's the real deal – commanding respect from everyone, able to call upon hundreds offollowers with just one word. That's what makes a true man!"
"As for you? Ha ha ha... all you know is some basic medical knowledge – nothing special!" Nathansaid contemptuously.
He admired those big shots in the underworld who could command respect from others without anyeffort. It was even his dream or life goal to become one someday – leading a group of followerswherever he went and being called "boss" by everyone around him!
Lachlan couldn't help but laugh when he heard Nathan speak like this; shaking his head silently athow naive Allison's brother was acting...
"Mr. Houghton is good enough for your sister? Kid, are your values twisted? Do even people likeScar become idols now?" Lachlan asked incredulously after hearing such nonsense from Nathan'smouth.
Allison's brother changed color immediately after hearing these words; shouting furiously, "What didyou say?! How dare you call Mr. Houghton that?! You're asking for trouble if anyone hears this -they'll chop off both of your hands!"
He then turned towards Allison anxiously, "Sis, stay away from this idiot! Don't get us involved."
Keagan and Kailey also glared coldly at Lachlan, "Youngster, do you not know that loose lips sinkships? You can eat whatever food but don't talk nonsense about people behind their backsespecially when it comes down powerful figures such as Mr. Houghton."
Allison also pulled on Lachlan gently, "Lachlan, please stop talking about things like that inside ourhouse…we don't want any trouble."
Although she had seen Peter treat Lachlan respectfully before due to him being the boss at GoldenFamily Hotel where Peter worked under him; however it wasn't appropriate for them discuss suchmatters here today...
But Scar was different!
He was the real tough guy in Edoland's underworld.
It was said that he had recently taken over the power of another underground boss, and the processhad been bloody and violent.
Those who didn't obey him were chopped up by his men. Scar had no idea how many lives he hadtaken.
"No problem! When Scar sees me, he kneels down." Lachlan said indifferently, with a disdainful lookon his face.
"You... you really don't know what you're doing!" Nathan pointed at Lachlan and pulled his face skin.
He didn't expect this guy to be so arrogant.
As he spoke, he glanced at the door as if afraid someone outside would hear them.
But that was how it was in this world!
The more people fear something, the more likely it is to happen!
Bang!
There was a loud noise as someone violently kicked open Allison's door.
"What the f*ck did I just hear? Someone dared to insult Mr. Houghton? Do they want their wholefamily dead?"
Accompanied by a loud shout of abuse, another young man with green hair walked in with severalpeople behind him.
Their faces were extremely unfriendly!
"Green Hair, what are you doing?" Nathan frowned and asked suspiciously.
This Green Hair was Nathan's "brother," they usually hung out together like brothers do. He neverexpected Green Hair would bring people into his house like this...
"Nathan, you better thank me! If you can become Mr. Houghton's brother-in-law in the future, don'tforget about me! Hahaha..." Green Hair laughed wickedly as he looked towards Allison with an evilgrin on his face.
"What do you mean?" Nathan asked angrily.
Keagan and Kailey also looked puzzled.
Allison furrowed her eyebrows even tighter as she stared angrily at these thugs who barged into herhome uninvited...
"What else could I mean? Your sister is so beautiful. Staying home all day would be such a wastewouldn't it? I showed Mr. Houghton your sister's photo; needless to say how satisfied he was after
seeing it! Tonight even Mr. Houghton himself came over!"
"Nathan," Green Hair continued smirkingly "You always say that Mr. Houghton is your idol right?Well aren't we lucky tonight?"
"Damn it! I trusted you like a brother, and you sold my sister to Mr. Houghton?" Nathan's voicetrembled with anger as he grabbed the collar of Green Hair's shirt, his expression twisted in fury.
