Chapter 6 Women, they're really unreasonable
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Ten minutes later, the instrument's sound steadied once again.
From Dylan's right big toe, blood flowed with a tinge of blue.
After taking the chicken blood, the little boy's condition miraculously stabilized!
"Okay! It's really okay!"
Albie cried tears of joy, overwhelmed with excitement.
Luca wiped his sweat and let out a long sigh of relief. Just now, he was under immense pressure!
If anything happened to Albie's son in the hospital, this hospital would be shut down and he himselfmight not have a good ending either!
"Dr. Atkinson, it seems like the young master is really poisoned?" Miranda asked.
Albie glared at Luca angrily. "The hospital's cafeteria actually poisoned my son?"
"No way! How could we? We would never poison anyone!" Luca turned pale as he spoke. The nextsecond, his peripheral vision caught sight of a thermos on the nearby table.
Inside was leftover snake soup!
"Where did this snake soup come from?" Luca suddenly thought of something and asked insuspicion.
"My wife made it for Dylan, to nourish his body. What's wrong?" Albie asked.
"I know now! The problem is with this snake soup! The hospital cafeteria had white radishes today!Both foods are not poisonous on their own, but eating them together can be life-threatening!" Lucashook his head with a bitter smile and sighed. "I didn't expect that young man earlier to havealready figured it out. He was right about everything!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Albie's expression changed several times!
It turned out that it was because of the snake soup he brought that his son almost died.
He couldn't imagine what would have happened if Lachlan hadn't reminded him before leaving!
For a moment, Albie's heart was filled with fear, guilt, gratitude...
The next second, he walked up to Miranda, "Ms. Lowe, please thank Mr. Willis for me! Also, I agreeto cooperate with your company according to the conditions you proposed before. We will sign thecontract in a few days. By the way, when we meet again next time, please make sure Mr. Williscomes along."novelbin
"He is my son's savior and I must personally apologize and express my gratitude!" Albie repeated.
Miranda's delicate face couldn't help showing surprise and astonishment.
"Oh... okay."
Albie agreed to the collaboration? Miranda couldn't believe how quickly things had turned around.She realized she had been wrong about Lachlan all along.
Despite having helped her, she had driven him away. What was she going to do now?
The next morning at 7:30 am, Lachlan was meditating when he heard a noise from Nora. Heopened his eyes and felt a surge of energy despite not having slept all night.
The dragon energy flowing from his left kidney continued to nourish and strengthen his body. Hespent the night organizing and integrating memories in his mind.
Dragon Soul Immortal Technique was a martial art that involved attack, defense, and killingtechniques. Dragon Emperor's Canon was an extensive medical practice while Dragon GazeHeavenward Technique dealt with divination ranging from personal fortune-telling to predictingnational destiny.
"Daddy."
At that moment, a soft voice sounded.
Nora woke up and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw her father sitting next to her with bigeyes full of joy.
"How do you feel?" Lachlan asked indulgently, touching his daughter's small face.
In fact, at this point in time, after infusing dragon energy into his eyes, he could clearly see Nora'sphysical condition. The little one was doing well overall but there was still a hint of black energylingering inside her bone marrow indicating that she had not fully recovered yet.
"I'm so hungry! I want to eat fried dough stick ..." the little one pouted and rubbed her small belly likea greedy kitten.
"Okay, I will go buy it for you!" Lachlan felt so happy when he heard his daughter say she washungry. Previously when Nora's health deteriorated, she had no appetite at all and even vomitedeverything fed to her mouth. Now that she said she was hungry on her own initiative meant thingswere looking up!
"No! I don't want you to leave."
"I'm so hungry but don't want you to leave... what should we do?" The little one grabbed ontoLachlan's hand and pouted again.
Lachlan chuckled and pretended to be angry. "Listen, Nora, I will be back soon."
"Oh. Daddy, did you not sleep again last night? Maybe you should go to bed first. I... I'm not thathungry," the little girl said obediently.
But her stomach betrayed her with a few loud grumbles, making her blush with embarrassment.
"Hahaha, still not hungry? I'm not tired yet. Just wait here," Lachlan teased as he watched hisdaughter's shy expression.
"Daddy's mean! Daddy's teasing Nora! Hmph!" Nora protested from under the covers.
After soothing his daughter for a while longer, Lachlan went out to buy some fried dough sticks.
As he stepped outside the hospital entrance, he received a phone call from Miranda!
Yesterday, Lachlan had "sold himself" to her and signed an agreement that included exchangingcontact information.
"Ms. Lowe?" Lachlan answered the phone.
"Why didn't you come pick me up? Didn't I tell you that you're responsible for taking me to work fromnow on?"
As soon as she came on the line, she asked in a questioning tone, hitting Lachlan with a barrage ofquestions.
Unseen by Lachlan on the other end of the phone was Miranda's face, which had turned slightlyred. She had told him to get lost yesterday, so it was obvious what she meant. But today, after muchhesitation, she finally made this call. So she used this surface-level aggression and intimidation tocover up her embarrassment.
"What? Pick you up? Yesterday you told me..."
Lachlan looked confused and didn't quite catch on.
"Cut the crap! We signed an agreement yesterday and I also paid for your daughter's medicalexpenses. What's wrong? Do you want to back out?" Miranda snorted lightly and questioned him.
"I..." Lachlan broke out in a sweat.
What did she mean by wanting to back out? It was clearly her who told him to get lost and not lether see him again. How did it become his fault now?
Women were truly unreasonable creatures.
"What do you mean? What exactly are you trying to say?" Miranda asked coldly, seemingly veryangry at Lachlan's change of heart.
"So should I come pick you up now?" Lachlan let out a bitter laugh and asked.
"Not necessary now. I'm already at the office. How about we grab lunch together at the Cottage?"
Without giving Lachlan a chance to refuse, Miranda hung up the phone.
