Miracle Doctor Daddy

After finishing their meal, Lachlan drove Miranda back to her residence in the Imperial View Villa Area before returning with his daughter to their rented home. Lachlan was calculating in his mind that he needed to buy a house soon, a place that truly belonged to him. Renting a house was not ideal for him anymore.

Of course, the most important factor was that Lachlan had money now. Even though he repeatedly declined at the Ward family’s gathering, Erik still gave him two cards as gifts. This meant that Lachlan had over 2 million dollars in his account and buying a house would be an easy feat.

When they arrived home, it was already eight o’clock at night and as they got out of the car, they saw someone lurking by their front door. Seeing this person made Lachlan furrow his brow and wonder why she was there? But Nora blinked her big eyes and first looked surprised then showed excitement.

“Mommy! It’s Mommy who came!”

“Daddy look! It’s Mommy!”

Seeing how happy Nora was made Lachlan smile awkwardly and nod along with her excitement.

The next second, Nora unbuckled herself from her seatbelt, opened the car door and jumped out!

“Mommy!”

The small figure ran straight towards the silhouette.

Who else could it be but Claudia?

Despite Claudia’s coldness, Nora always remembered that she was her mother.

Lachlan parked the car and walked away without much expression.

“Mommy, you came to see me!” The little one ran over and opened her arms to Claudia excitedly.

She only knew that their parents used to argue a lot before they separated, and she hadn’t seen her mother in a long time.

Naturally, Lachlan wouldn’t tell the child about Claudia’s heartlessness and abandonment so as not to hurt her young heart.

“Good girl, Nora!” Facing her daughter running towards her with open arms, Claudia just reached out and touched Nora’s head. Her eyes looked at Lachlan… and his Bentley Mulsanne behind him!

They were driving a Bentley?

“What brings you here?” asked Lachlan expressionlessly.

“What kind of question is that? Even though we’re divorced now, can’t I come see you or our daughter?” Claudia’s voice was completely different from the last time they spoke on the phone. It had a hint of bitterness and softness to it.

She was dressed in a sexy outfit today, with stockings, high heels, a short skirt and an off-shoulder top. Her face was beautifully made up.

She looked incredibly alluring.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lachlan couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.

One night of love was worth a hundred of friendship? How could he forget how heartlessly she had humiliated him when he asked her for Nora’s life-saving money?

But he didn’t say anything in front of their daughter.

After about ten minutes, Lachlan managed to put Nora to sleep. During that time, Claudia interacted with Nora – whether it was genuine or not remained unclear – but either way Nora seemed happy.

Looking at his little girl sleeping soundly with a sweet smile on her face, Lachlan silently wished that their family could be complete again someday.

However…

Giving Claudia a cold glance, Lachlan gently ruffled Nora’s head, ensuring she slept soundly, and then he said expressionlessly, “Let’s go. If you have something to discuss, do it outside.”

“Okay.”

Claudia nodded cleverly and followed Lachlan out. When they reached the courtyard, she smiled and asked, “You’re driving a Bentley now?”

“It’s someone else’s,” Lachlan raised an eyebrow. He felt that Claudia’s attitude today was off.

“Come on, don’t be coy,” Claudia said as she leaned into Lachlan.

Lachlan pushed her away and said coldly, “Do you have something to say or not? If not, then leave!”

Hearing this, a hint of anger flashed in Claudia’s eyes before turning into sorrow. “Honey, what are you doing?”

“What did you call me? We’re divorced now. Your husband is Tom! Don’t call me that!” Lachlan sneered.

“Honey, do you really think I would fall for someone else? Actually… I’ve always loved you in my heart. The reason why I divorced you was all for money from Tom so we could treat Nora’s illness.”

“Do you know how much effort I put into it? When we had to sell our factory back then and lost everything… do you know how much it hurt me to see that happen to us?”

“That’s why I left with Tom! Do you know how painful it has been for me these past few days pretending to be happy around him?”

Tears streamed down Claudia’s face as she clutched onto Lachlan’s arm, pouring out her heart to him.

Lachlan couldn’t help but feel a slight flutter in his heart as he watched her. Although he suspected that Claudia was probably just putting on an act, he couldn’t help but feel a glimmer of hope.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Did Claudia divorce him just to get money for Nora’s medical treatment?

“Heh, do you remember what you said when I called you asking for money?” Lachlan asked indifferently.

It was because of Claudia’s heartlessness that Lachlan had chosen to risk his life and scam others for money.

“Tom was right there next to me when you called! I… I really wanted to say yes, but I couldn’t…” Claudia explained with a pouty expression.

“What about hiring someone to teach me a lesson later?” Lachlan asked sternly.

Hearing this question, Claudia bit her lip and stared at Lachlan with an expression of resentment and jealousy. “The deeper the love, the stronger the hate! Do you know how jealous I was when I saw you being all lovey-dovey with another woman outside the restaurant that day?”

“I admit it, I had Tom arrange for someone to teach you a lesson because I hated you at that time!”

“I hated you for all those promises you made to me back then, they were all lies!”

“I hated you for being heartless and unfaithful! I endured humiliation and carried heavy burdens, pretending to be happy with other men just to earn money for our daughter’s medical treatment. And yet, you were out there fooling around with other women, enjoying your freedom!”

“Lachlan, you’re a scumbag! Can you even face me?” Claudia’s voice grew more and more agitated as she spoke until finally she burst into tears of resentment.

It was as if her heart was filled with countless grievances.

Her confession of love-hate only made Lachlan waver in his heart. After all, they had been married for so long – five or six years of emotions!

After all, Lachlan had truly loved and doted on Claudia at the beginning.

Her sincere expression made Lachlan doubt whether he had really misunderstood Claudia.

“Don’t cry!” Taking a deep breath, Lachlan patted Claudia’s back gently in a softer tone. “Honey! I know you still love me, right? Was that woman from the other day just an act? Can we go back to how things were before? Honey…”

Claudia cried out tearfully with her voice full of emotion that sent shivers down his spine. She leaned weakly against him while breathing hot air into his ear.

He must say, Claudia was quite attractive and had a seductive aura about her.

This move left Lachlan feeling like a cat scratching at a post.

In this situation, a man’s ability to think logically was likely to be lost, as he was led around by the nose by this woman.

Whatever she said, he believed!

However, Lachlan was no longer the same person he used to be!
