Chapter 4 What nonsense are you talking about?

“Thank you, really!” Lachlan said seriously to Miranda outside the hospital room.

“No need, you’re kind of mine now,” Miranda replied casually.

“Uh…” Lachlan’s expression was a bit strange.

Miranda was like a goddess, and hearing her say that he belonged to her made him feel…well, it made him think some inappropriate thoughts.

The next second, it seemed like Miranda also realized how that sounded and changed the subject, “By the way, do you know medicine? Is your daughter suffering from leukemia?”

She had heard everything clearly outside the door before – his daughter had no vital signs but somehow came back to life. And now she looked pretty good!

It was all quite miraculous!

So an idea popped into Miranda’s head, “Do you have some medical knowledge?”

Lachlan hesitated for a moment before nodding his head, “A little.”

“In that case,” said Miranda decisively, “take care of your daughter first and then come with me – I need your help!”

Miranda’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

Next, Lachlan returned to the hospital room and spent some time soothing Nora until she fell asleep before leaving carefully.

Thanks to Miranda’s connections, Sean personally arranged for another expert to come and give Nora one-on-one treatment at the hospital.

Currently, Lachlan’s use of dragon energy was still uncertain, and the Dragon Emperor’s Canon in his mind was also unclear.

Although Nora wanted to go home, it was clearly better for her to continue receiving professional treatment at the hospital.

Half an hour later, Lachlan followed Miranda to a private hospital.

Compared to public hospitals, the medical conditions here were better and more advanced equipment was available. Of course, costs were not something ordinary people could imagine. Only rich or wealthy people could afford treatment here!

“Mr. Elliott is someone I’m trying very hard to win over – he’s a very important business partner! His son also has leukemia. If you can cure him or improve his condition in any way possible, then you’ll have done me a huge favor! Understand?”

Miranda said seriously outside of a high-end ward door.

“I’ll do my best!” Lachlan replied nonchalantly without making any promises.

Without saying anything else, Miranda knocked on the door of the ward and led Lachlan and her driver inside.

As a third-generation member of the Lowe family with outstanding personal abilities and ruthless business acumen; her beauty wasn’t something she cared much about showing off compared to other things she possessed.

But alas, Miranda was born a daughter and was never favored in the Lowe family. What she couldn’t accept the most was that Isa Austin, the son of the Austin family in the capital, had taken a liking to her and proposed to the Lowe family.

Except for Miranda’s younger brother, everyone in the Lowe family agreed to this marriage proposal. Not only because they couldn’t afford to offend the Austin family but also because it would establish a relationship with them. Even Miranda’s parents hoped that their daughter could join forces with the Austin family.

Miranda resisted fiercely and finally won herself an opportunity. If she could increase profits tenfold at Lowe’s Pharmaceutical within two years, her family wouldn’t force her into marriage.

However, this was almost an impossible task. Her family wouldn’t help her and Isa would use his connections to hinder her at every turn. But Miranda was stubborn by nature and continued working hard.

She seized every opportunity that came her way. Albie Elliott was one of the state’s largest wholesale suppliers of raw materials for medicine production; if she could reach a deal together, it would save astronomical amounts on production costs for Miranda family’s pharmaceutical company – something that couldn’t be underestimated.

Even though proud as she was, Miranda had no choice but to beg Albie with all due respect since he always remained lukewarm about cooperating with her.

That was until she saw how Nora got saved by Lachlan – suddenly giving birth new ideas on how best approach Albie once again…

Upon entering the hospital room, they saw a young boy, around seven or eight years old, lying on the bed with a pale face similar to Nora’s earlier. However, thanks to superior medical conditions, his condition seemed stable.

A doctor in a white coat was carefully examining the little boy’s physical condition.

“Mr. Elliott, your son is doing well! Don’t worry; I guarantee that we can keep him stable in the chronic phase for at least two years! During this time, our hospital will also do everything possible to search for matching bone marrow sources!” The doctor smiled and said.

“Good! That’s great news! Thank you so much Dr. Atkinson!” Albie breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this news.

His son had chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), which is divided into three phases: chronic phase, accelerated phase and blast crisis phase. The fact that doctors could guarantee his son would remain in the chronic phase for two years was considered the best result possible.

“Dylan, don’t worry! I will cure you no matter what it takes!” Albie sat down beside Dylan’s bed and held his hand to comfort him.

“Yeah Dad, I believe you!” Dylan nodded with bright eyes as he looked up at his father with a smile on his face.

At this moment, Albie seemed to notice Miranda and her companions for the first time and nodded politely. “Oh hi Ms. Lowe, I’m sorry but lately I haven’t been feeling up to discussing any business deals.”

He thought Miranda had come to talk about potential business opportunities again.

“Mr. Elliott, you misunderstood! I’m not here to talk about cooperation, I find a…” Miranda smiled and began to speak.

But before she could finish her sentence, a urgent voice interrupted her. “This child is in critical condition! We need to take action immediately!”

The room fell silent as everyone turned their attention towards the speaker. Shocked, angry and cold stares filled the air.

Albie’s expression turned dark as he glared at Lachlan and asked, “Who is this, Ms. Lowe?”

No one would have a good reaction when they hear that their child is in critical condition!

Miranda remained silent while her driver looked at Lachlan with disdain and said, “Mr. Elliott, this is Ms. Lowe’s new fiancé! He may not know how to speak properly so please don’t mind him.”

“What nonsense are you spouting?” Miranda was furious as she coldly questioned Lachlan.

This guy just opened his mouth and said that Albie’s son was dying?

“Ms. Lowe, are you trying to threaten me? If I don’t cooperate with you, my son will be in danger?” Albie demanded an answer.

Miranda sighed, “Mr. Elliott, I never meant it like that! This guy just likes to talk without thinking first. It doesn’t matter if we cooperate or not. We can still be friends.”

As Miranda spoke, she glared at Lachlan once again, seething with anger.

“Aren’t you going to leave?” she spat out coldly, pointing her finger towards the door.

She had brought Lachlan here with the intention of trying him out to help cure Dylan’s illness. But now, he had managed to offend Albie just by opening his mouth.

Miranda regretted her impatience and recklessness in seeking cooperation so desperately. Meanwhile, her driver seemed to be enjoying their predicament a little too much and held a grudge against Lachlan for some reason.

Regardless of their reactions, Lachlan remained focused and serious as he urgently exclaimed, “I’m telling you the truth! This child is in danger of losing his life any minute now! We need to act fast – we only have twenty minutes before it’s too late!”
