Chapter 18 What If I Could Cure It?

Chapter 18 What if I could cure it?

Lachlan first took Rowan to the hospital to complete Nora's discharge procedures, and then brought the little one with him to visit the Ward family. With today's incident and his daughter still in the hospital, he was feeling a bit uneasy.

When Nora heard that her father was taking her to someone else's house as a guest, she was quite happy. In reality, at five years old she should have already been attending kindergarten, but due to Nora's condition, she never had the opportunity.

Therefore, Nora often felt lonely and wished for more human interaction. Upon arriving at the Ward family's home, they saw two elderly men sitting face-to-face playing chess in a courtyard.

On Erik's right side sat the little girl holding a Barbie doll while watching her great- grandfather play chess. The other elderly man wore an unusual blue mask on his face.

Standing behind him was a beautiful young woman in her twenties with an exquisite appearance and an extremely curvaceous figure. After Lachlan arrived and glanced at the masked elder for a moment before settling his gaze on this young woman who caught his attention.

After staring at her for some time with an odd expression on his face, she asked, "What are you looking at?" The young woman noticed Lachlan staring at her and immediately raised her eyebrows coldly rebuking him.

This woman seemed to have quite an attitude problem.

"Mr. Willis! You're here!"

Upon seeing Lachlan arrive, Erik stood up to greet him.

Since Rowan was able to find out where Lachlan lived, it was only natural that the Ward family would also know his full name.

The old man with the mask and the young woman were surprised by this scene.

As someone of Erik's status, why would he be so polite to a young man?

"Reeva, calm down. This young man seems to be Mr. Ward's distinguished guest," advised the masked old man.

Reeva then let out a soft snort and put away her hostile gaze towards Lachlan. However, in her heart she had already labeled him as a frivolous person because of where he kept staring at.

"Hello there, Mr. Ward," said Lachlan confidently.

"And who might this little one be?" asked Erik as he looked at Nora.

"She's my daughter. Nora, say hello to grandpa," replied Lachlan while holding Nora's small hand.

"Grandpa," Nora called sweetly.

"Hey, come here. I will give you a hug," Erik smiled kindly and crouched down to pick up Nora.

Seeing this scene, Chloe Ward pouted and glared at Nora with resentment as if her own great- grandfather had been snatched away from her.

After some pleasantries, Erik put down Nora and got straight to the point, expressing his gratitude for what happened last time. He pulled out a bank card with 2 million dollars in it and an exclusive black diamond card. With this card, Lachlan could enter any of the Ward family's business establishments for free.

Lachlan waved his hand dismissively. "Mr. Ward, I don't need these things. If you really want to thank me, do you happen to have Dragon Marrow Herb? My daughter has leukemia and I only need this herb to cure her."

"Leukemia!" Erik's eyes turned towards Nora with added tenderness upon hearing Lachlan's words.

At the same time, he gained a new appreciation for Lachlan's medical skills - leukemia was a worldwide problem that even top doctors struggled with treating. Yet Lachlan claimed he could cure it?

Meanwhile, Chloe - who had been hostile towards Nora earlier - blinked before walking over while holding her Barbie doll out towards her.

"Here! You can play with it."

Although Chloe was somewhat mischievous at times, she didn't have bad intentions in mind.

"Dragon Marrow Herb? I haven't heard of that, but I have collected some precious herbs myself, many of which I can't even name. Why don't you go find it yourself, Mr. Willis?" Erik said uncertainly.

Lachlan hadn't spoken yet when a cold voice rang out, "Mr. Ward, be careful not to be fooled. What does this person do that you keep giving him things?" Reeva glared at Lachlan with an unfriendly look in her eyes as if she was looking at a rogue or a swindler.

"Forget my manners! Let me introduce you guys. Caelan Bates and Reeva Bates, this is Lachlan Willis, the divine doctor who saved my life when I fell ill the other day."

Clifford also had high praise for Lachlan.

"Oh yeah Caelan, maybe Lachlan can help you with your injury," Erik suggested.

"It's not an illness; it's an injury that cannot be cured. Besides even if he could cure me, it would be like taking away my medal!" Caelan waved his hand dismissively and continued seriously, "Besides, I've never seen such a young divine doctor before."

His words were filled with doubt towards Lachlan.

"A medal?" Lachlan raised his eyebrows as he looked at Caelan.

"Yes! When we fought against foreign enemies years ago, Caelan was injured in battle. To us old folks here those injuries are medals! Unfortunately... the place where he was injured..." Erik sighed and didn't continue speaking any further.

Caelan's injury was on his face!

Years ago, an enemy bullet pierced through his cheek, leaving him unrecognizable. As a result, Caelan had been wearing a mask for many years, living in the shadows.

Despite holding a high position and having a thriving family with many descendants, he never dared to show his true face to anyone. His personality had become increasingly solitary and irritable, unwilling to interact with others or even communicate with his own family members.

Now residing in Iylonio for most of the year after leaving Kreanford, the state behind, Caelan only had his granddaughter Reeva by his side. The impact of disfigurement on him was unimaginable!

As Erik finished speaking, Lachlan looked at Caelan with deep respect in his eyes. An elder generation who had fought bravely on the battlefield deserved everyone's admiration.

"Mr. Bates," Lachlan said seriously. "I can cure you so that you don't have to live behind your mask anymore."

But as soon as he finished speaking came a cold snort, "Get lost! I don't need it!" Caelan's irritable personality caused him to curse directly.

His granddaughter Reeva even sneered, "Who do you think you are? You dare make such arrogant remarks without knowing my grandfather's situation?"

"A bullet piercing through the face causing disfigurement," Lachlan said lightly.

"Hmph! Even if you know, what's the use? No matter how many divine doctors or saints there are, modern advanced plastic surgery technology is also helpless. Can a fraud like you cure it?" Reeva sneered.

"What if I can cure it?" Lachlan asked in a deep voice.

"Do you like me? If you can cure it, I'll take off my clothes for you to see! If you can't cure it, then that means you're a fraud and get out of Mr. Ward's house!" Reeva raised her head and said fiercely.

"It's settled then!"

Lachlan also got angry and looked at Caelan. "Mr. Bates, what do you think?" NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Listening to his granddaughter's bet with Lachlan, Caelan's face behind the mask was extremely ugly!

His granddaughter not only made decisions for him but also used her own body as a bet!

It was simply outrageous!

But he had always loved his granddaughter very much and thought that since Lachlan couldn't win anyway.

Then just treat it.

He was already like this anyway; even if he couldn't be cured anymore, he wouldn't get any worse!

In an effort to help out Erik, Caelan decided to expose this fraudster. He gave Lachlan a cold stare before ultimately standing up.
