Chapter 201 Nora's Shocking Change
That afternoon, Lachlan was in Miranda's office giving the goddess CEO a head massage. Mirandahad been busy lately, but every time Lachlan massaged her head, she magically found herselffeeling rejuvenated and full of energy. She even felt like her physical health had improved a lotrecently.
Lachlan checked the time and realized it was almost time to pick up Nora when he received a callfrom Erik.
"Hey Lachlan, do you have any plans tonight? Want to come over for dinner?" Erik asked with asmile, being very friendly towards Lachlan.
"Uh sure. Your invitation is my command," replied Lachlan somewhat surprised but still happy toaccept the offer.
Although Henry's initial behavior during Mason's incident seemed opportunistic, Lachlan didn't takeit personally and didn't hold any grudges against Erik either. The Ward family had helped himseveral times before, especially during that business exchange meeting where if not for Henry andKiera's help, Miranda would have been slandered by Frederick.
Lachlan wasn't petty-minded; he remembered other people's kindness very clearly.
"Great! Rowan has already picked up Chloe from kindergarten so I'll have him pick up Nora too. Youcan just come straight here!" Erik said with a chuckle. "The two little girls get along really well."
"Okay," agreed Lachlan as he hung up the phone.
Nora wore her communication watch so that when she received his call, she answered excitedly,"Daddy! Are you waiting outside already?"
"Not yet baby girl! How about we go to Chloe's house tonight after school? You can go ahead withUncle Rowan first while Daddy comes later," suggested Lachlan.
"Oh! We're going to Chloe's house? That sounds great!" exclaimed Nora happily as she lovedplaying with Chloe at school and couldn't wait to play together again at home!
After hanging up the phone with his daughter, there was no rush for him to go pick her up fromkindergarten just yet so he continued "serving" Miranda who asked what was going on?
"Erik invited me over for dinner tonight - do you want to join us?" offered Lachlan.
Miranda hesitated for a moment before shaking her head saying, "No thanks - I don't really haveanything going on with the Ward family."
"I have it! You're my wife, if you go, who wouldn't give you face?" Lachlan said with a smile.
Miranda rolled her eyes at him. "Hmph! You're really something now. I have to rely on your face."
"Hehe, not bad," Lachlan said nonchalantly.
Miranda shook her head. "You go by yourself. I find it too troublesome. Don't wait for me after work.I'll have Mason send someone to pick me up later."
"Okay," Lachlan shrugged.
At 5:30 pm, Redwood Residence!
"Hahaha... Chloe, you're so dumb you can't catch me!"
"Nyah nyah nyah..." Nora was running around a fake mountain and playing with Chloe.
Chloe chased Nora for a while but couldn't catch her. When she saw Nora sticking out her tongue ather, she got angry.novelbin
"Hmph! If you run in a straight line, I'll definitely catch you."
Nora snorted and shook her head arrogantly. "No way will you catch me even if I run in a straightline!"
This little girl had good health and the mentality of a child; naturally she was very proud of herself.
Chloe's eyes darted around before suddenly pointing behind Nora. "Oh no! Your father Pigsy ishere!"
Nora immediately turned around and protested, "My dad isn't Pigsy; he's Superman!"
"Hey where's my dad?"
Nora blinked several times innocently unaware that Chloe had some mischief planned...
Just as Chloe's mischievous grin appeared on her chubby little face as she tried to grab hold ofNora - something strange happened!
Puff!
Suddenly the previously healthy-looking Nora fell down onto the ground convulsing violently withpain etched all over her small face...
Not only that but blood started pouring out from Nora's mouth, nose and ears, making this sceneincredibly sudden and frightening!
Chloe widened her eyes in shock as tears streamed down from them uncontrollably crying out loud,"Nora what happened?!"
"Waa waa waa... Grandpa Grandpa Grandma Grandma…Nora is bleeding!"
"Uncle Henry, Aunt Kiera, come quickly! What happened to Nora?"
"Waa waa waaa…" Chloe screamed at the top of her lungs trying to get their attention...
Chloe was the granddaughter of the eldest son in the Ward family, who was the first cousin of Henryand Kiera. Therefore, she addressed Henry and Kiera as Uncle Henry and Aunt Kiera.
This little girl was also scared witless crying so hard that even Erik heard the commotion from afarrushing over along with his group of people...
When everyone saw Nora's appearance, they were suddenly shocked and horrified.
"Nora!"
"What's wrong with Nora?"
Gabriela hurried over to pick up Nora and check on her.
"Don't move! You don't know anything, what if you accidentally cause a negative reaction in thechild?"
At this moment, Erik quickly stopped his spouse.
Upon hearing this, everyone else also dared not act rashly.
They didn't know what was wrong with Nora, how can they just move around casually?
As he spoke, Erik was about to call Lachlan and ask him to come over quickly.
However, at this moment, a sound of footsteps started to echo.
Lachlan had arrived, with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Ward, what are you all gathered here for? Where are my daughter and Chloe?"
A group of adults were gathered here blocking the way, and Lachlan didn't see Nora and Chloe atfirst.
Upon hearing the sound, Erik's face changed and he put down his phone.
"Lachlan, Nora..."
Erik quickly stepped aside to explain the situation to Lachlan.
However, when Lachlan saw Nora on the ground, the smile on his face instantly disappeared andhis eyes widened in shock and anger, revealing an expression of utter horror.
"Nora!"
With a roar, Lachlan went crazy and turned into a blur as he charged towards Nora.
"Nora! Nora, what's wrong?"
"Do not scare Daddy!" Lachlan held Nora in his arms, his face filled with intense panic. Withouthesitation, he grabbed Nora's small hand and infused her with the breath of the dragon, as if his lifedepended on it.
However, this time, there was no effect at all! On Nora's small face, the expression of painpersisted, and blood continuously oozed from her mouth, nostrils, and ears.
Seeing his daughter like this, Lachlan felt as if his heart was about to be torn apart. He infused hiseyes with the dragon's breath to observe Nora's condition, and his complexion became even moregrim.
Only now, the faint black energy that had originally lingered in Nora's bone marrow unexpectedly...spread throughout her entire body! It even pervaded every organ in his daughter's body!
"What have you done to my daughter?"
Lachlan's eyes were red as he roared at the Ward family with a look of fury.
