Chapter 84 This illness cannot be cured
Kayden left a message and swaggered out of the room. After he left, the atmosphere in the lobby became heavy and oppressive.
“Emmanuel, did you hear that? Are we really going to let Miranda’s stubbornness ruin our entire family? If the Austin family really wants to go after us, our family won’t be able to handle it!” Victoria slammed her cane on the ground, her tone angry.
The Lowe family may be a top-tier family in Edoland, but they were nothing compared to the four major families in Kreanford. The Austin family was one of them and had an incredibly strong influence. Even if they only offended one person like Isa from their family instead of everyone, with their connections and power through their young master, they could still bring down the entire Lowe family.
“That’s right! Emmanuel, don’t be too selfish!” Eliza scowled.
“Yes! You two should think about what’s best for everyone! What’s wrong with Miranda marrying Isa?” even Nasir Lowe, the fourth son who rarely spoke up advised solemnly.
“Which girl from a big clan doesn’t want love? Don’t be too selfish!”
“Mr. Austin has already made it clear this time – he means business!”
“In the past he only went after Lachlan; this time he is truly furious and wants to take down our entire family!”
The Lowe family was in a state of turmoil as they discussed Isa’s threat, feeling uneasy and uncertain. Emmanuel and Cara’s expressions were constantly changing, filled with deep helplessness.
Meanwhile, Lachlan and Miranda had no idea what was happening. They were having lunch near Lowe’s Pharmaceutical, enjoying a meal together.
“Why did you invite me to have steak?” Lachlan asked with a smile.
“I wanted to eat it, but it doesn’t feel right to eat alone. Plus, you’re paying for it, not me!” Miranda rolled her eyes at him.
“Wait… I’m paying?” Lachlan was stunned for a moment and looked speechless.
“Isn’t that how it should be? When you go out to eat with someone, shouldn’t the man pay?” The goddess CEO glared at Lachlan and asked in a displeased tone.
“Alright.” Lachlan wanted to say, “I’ve already sold myself to you,” but thought better of it.
After finishing their meal, Lachlan had just dropped off the arrogant CEO at her company when he received a phone call right outside the company gates.
“Mr. Reid?” It was Vincent on the other end of the line.
The wealthy Kreanford tycoon spoke politely, “Mr. Willis, I’m glad you’re safe after yesterday’s incident. Do you have time this afternoon?”
“Yes, Mr. Reid? Is there something you need?” Lachlan replied politely as well.
Yesterday Vincent insisted on giving Lachlan shares in his company but he refused repeatedly until finally giving up. Now Vincent was offering to use his connections to help Lowe’s Pharmaceutical grow bigger and stronger instead.
However, Lachlan refused again with equal determination. Why should he use his own connections to benefit Lowe’s Pharmaceutical? The true owner of this company wasn’t even Miranda; it was the Lowe family matriarch herself whom he had helped fulfill an agreement with before taking action for Miranda’s sake only.
Since it was done, it didn’t matter if Lowe’s Pharmaceutical went bankrupt. But even though he refused, Vincent’s sincerity had left an impression on Lachlan.
“I need to ask you for a favor. Here’s the situation: my close friend’s son has recently contracted a very strange and terrifying disease. He has been to various hospitals and seen many doctors, but he still hasn’t been cured. They haven’t even been able to determine the cause of his illness.” Vincent explained the situation.
“Oh? Where is he located?” Lachlan asked.
“He’s from Edoland, right here in Edoland!” Vincent replied.
“Okay then, come pick me up! I’ll be waiting outside Lowe’s Pharmaceutical,” Lachlan readily agreed.
“Great! Thank you so much, Dr. Willis. Don’t worry, we won’t let your efforts go to waste.”
An hour later…
Vincent personally drove over to pick up Lachlan and took him to a luxurious villa in the city center. This villa area was called Flower City and was just as upscale as Emerald Green Estates; only wealthy people lived here.
Lachlan had just opened the car door and a car rushed past from the side, almost hitting the door he had opened.
Creak!
A Rolls-Royce suddenly braked, and then a young man got off.
Lachlan opened his mouth, wanting to apologize.
After all, he didn’t pay attention to the back before. If there was a collision, it was actually his responsibility.
However, before he could speak, the young man directly pointed at Lachlan’s nose and began to berate him, “You little rascal, are you blind or what?”
Lachlan frowned and Vincent’s face also darkened.
Just as he was about to speak, a middle-aged beauty ran out of the villa and went towards the young man and an elderly man in white who had just gotten off the Rolls-Royce.
“Oh my, Dr. Hall, you finally came! Please come in quickly!”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Vincent raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man in white, muttering to himself, “Hall the divine doctor?”
At this moment, the middle-aged beautiful woman noticed Vincent and smiled, saying, “Vincent, you’re here too? Come in together.”
Vincent nodded and greeted her.
Then leading Lachlan, they were about to walk into the villa.
However, the disciple of that famous doctor, who was the young man from earlier, pointed at Lachlan and asked, “Who is this guy?”
The middle-aged woman also looked at Lachlan, with a questioning look towards Vincent.
“Oh, this is Lachlan Willis, the famous doctor! I specifically invited him to treat Liam’s illness,” Vincent introduced.
As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged woman looked at Lachlan with a hint of disdain. The young man sneered and raised his voice, “What? He’s here to help Mr. Barker too? And he dares to call himself a famous doctor? How old is he? Does he dare to claim that in front of my tutor?”
The white-robed old man coldly glanced at Lachlan and said to the middle-aged woman, “Mrs. Barker, since you have already invited me, why are you still looking for others to treat your son’s illness? Are you looking down on me? If that’s the case, then I’ll leave!”
Hearing this, the woman was suddenly frightened and looked at Vincent with a hint of reproach in her eyes.
“What are you doing Vincent?” she asked in an unfriendly tone. “Why don’t you take this guy away? With Dr. Hall here, do we need anyone else to treat Liam?”
Vincent’s face suddenly became extremely embarrassed, “Grace, although Dr. Willis is young…”
At this moment, Lachlan waved his hand towards Vincent and interrupted him.
“Mrs. Barker right?” He gazed into the distance towards the villa with suspicion in his eyes. “Your son’s illness cannot be cured by ordinary doctors no matter how skilled they are! There seems to be an astonishing amount of corpse energy within your villa which may be related to your son’s condition! Medical skills may not work!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, the beautiful woman’s expression changed and she showed a hint of anger.
“What nonsense are you spouting? My son isn’t dead yet, where would there be any corpse energy?”
