Daddy the Miracle Medic

Chapter 36 I'M Here

Chapter 36 I'm here

Zak's appreciation for Lachlan was not hidden at all, from calling him his first name to even wanting to introduce his own daughter to him.

Although it may have sounded abrupt, it was actually well thought out.

His medical skills were so advanced that even Clifford felt inferior. The significance of befriending such a skilled doctor was self-evident.

Furthermore, his martial arts skills were impressive upon first testing!

Aside from the other benefits that could come with befriending Lachlan, just having someone like him develop in the military would mean limitless potential for the future.

Zak truly had developed feelings of admiration and respect for Lachlan.

However, Mason beside him was getting anxious and frustrated.

Goodness gracious! The more Zak talked about introducing Scarlet, his dream lover to his brother- in-law, the more absurd it seemed!

Scarlet was Mason's dream girl after all. Now Zak wanted to introduce her to his brother-in-law?

"Mr. Harris, he is my sister's husband!" Mason said helplessly yet urgently. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

As soon as these words fell out of his mouth, Zak suddenly became stunned, "Your sister's husband? Which sister?"

"My real sister Miranda," Mason replied with a bitter smile on his face.

Upon hearing this response, Zak clicked his tongue and said, "Then it must be fake!"

Obviously, Zak had also heard about Miranda finding someone to pretend to be her fiancé and fight against the family's arranged marriage. So when he heard that Lachlan was Miranda's husband, he didn't take it seriously at all. He was just a little curious as to why someone as capable as Lachlan would play this role.

"No! It's not fake! This time it's real!" Mason quickly shook his head, afraid that Zak would still try to match Scarlet with Lachlan.

As he spoke, he hugged Lachlan by the shoulder and leaned in close, showing how intimate they were, "Mr. Harris, he is really my brother-in-law! My real brother-in-law!"

"Right? Brother-in-law?" Mason said while winking at Lachlan.

Lachlan was speechless for a moment. Now he had become his real brother-in-law?

But although Scarlet was beautiful, he didn't have any thoughts about her. He smiled lightly and said, "Yes Mr. Harris, both me and Miranda have gotten our marriage certificate already. And I'm already a father too. Scarlet is stunningly beautiful; if I could be her big brother I'd be honored."

Since Zak treated him well now, there wasn't much else for him to say except praise his daughter.

Hearing this statement, Zak laughed heartily a few times; it seemed like his previous thoughts were unnecessary after all.

Even if Zak admired him greatly, he wouldn't let his daughter get involved with another woman's husband.

"I apologize for being rude earlier," Zak said politely. "Scarlet why don't you greet him?"

Scarlet pursed her lips but didn't feel any resistance in her heart. She sweetly called out, "Brother Lachlan!"

Lachlan was her savior, and he was truly exceptional. It didn't bother him that Scarlet called him "brother." Mason watched Lachlan with envy and resentment in his eyes, feeling a twinge of bitterness as Scarlet called Lachlan brother. If only Scarlet could call him like that, he would wake up laughing from his dreams.

Zak continued to chat with Lachlan while Clifford couldn't resist asking for medical advice from the man holding the Dragon Emperor's Canon. Lachlan gave clear and concise answers to all his questions, leaving Clifford feeling enlightened and sitting up straight like a schoolboy in front of his teacher.

Zak was even more impressed by Lachlan's eloquence and tried to find out if he had any plans for advancement in the military. However, it was getting late, and Lachlan had to leave because he missed Nora at home. Zak gave him a free pass to come back anytime.

As they left the military zone, Mason ordered his two subordinates to take another car while he talked privately with his brother-in-law behind the wheel.

"What else do you want to talk about? If you were able to make friends with Zak today, you could have done so earlier with the Ward family," asked Lachlan from the passenger seat as he raised an eyebrow.

Mason chuckled, "No, no, it's not about that! Brother-in-law, I believe you now..."

He coughed a few times and nervously continued, "I'm pursuing Scarlet and you've seen it. So some of the things you saw before, brother-in-law, you have to keep it to yourself and don't tell Zak or Scarlet!"

Zak admired Lachlan so much that he even introduced Scarlet to him. They exchanged contact information and would probably be seeing each other often in the future.

In case... Mason thought to himself, if Lachlan said something unexpected, he felt like he would lose all hope.

As the words fell, Lachlan responded with a questioning "Hmm?" before realizing what Mason was hinting at. A mischievous smile crept onto his face.

"You mean the day you were surrounded by many women at the casino, right?"

"Brother-in-law, I'm not that kind of playboy. I had strict upbringing since childhood and I am deeply in love with Scarlet. That day was just because she told me she had already gotten together with Conor which hit me hard emotionally so I went to find two girls at random in hopes of releasing my emotions!" Mason explained anxiously.

"What do you need to explain to me for?" Lachlan shrugged nonchalantly.

"Just don't go blabbering about it!" Mason warned sternly.

"How are you talking to me?" Lachlan teased.

Mason tugged at the corner of his mouth, finally revealing a pleasing smile. "Brother-in-law, you're my real brother-in-law! I'm your little brother, and when your little brother needs help finding a girlfriend, you as the big brother have to lend a hand. Right? In Edoland there's nothing I can't handle."

Lachlan nodded his head. "Don't worry, as long as you behave well, I won't say anything."

Hearing this made Mason breathe a sigh of relief.

But in his heart he thought: Do I have any leverage that this cheap-ass brother-in-law could use against me?

On the way back home, Mason drove and personally took Lachlan back to his rental house.

When he got home, Nora was still asleep.

The night passed without incident...

The next day, Lachlan first drove Nora to kindergarten before heading over to pick up Miranda for work from her estate.

Security in this villa area was pretty good but since the Bentley Mulsanne had already been registered, there were no obstacles entering or leaving.

However, upon arriving at Miranda's villa living room door, Lachlan could faintly hear an argument inside.

"Uncle, Auntie," said Miranda's voice with a hint of anger. "My affairs don't seem to concern you guys right?"

"How is it not our business?" Romeo Lowe, Miranda's uncle retorted angrily. "You're finding yourself another toy boy again; isn't that provoking Mr. Austin? Isn't that provoking the Austin family?"

"If you really anger the Austin family, our entire family will suffer with you! I'm telling you, kick that pretty boy to the curb now. Otherwise, we'll take care of him before Mr. Austin even gets a chance!"

"Where is this pretty boy? Bring him here!" Romeo was a dominant figure and barked at Miranda.

"I'm here," Lachlan replied as he walked in with a calm expression.
