Miracle Doctor Daddy

Chapter 144 Weeping in the Middle of the Night



That night, in the middle of the night, mournful cries echoed through the McLaughlin family’s private villa. It sounded eerie in the darkness.

Darwin and his father Philip McLaughlin stood in a room, their faces filled with suspicion and alarm as they listened to Mrs. McLaughlin, Kristina McLaughlin, crying hysterically on the floor.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“What’s going on? Honey, what happened?” Philip asked anxiously.

It was frightening to wake up in the middle of the night to find your partner crying uncontrollably beside you. But Kristina wasn’t just crying; she was also acting insane. She was cutting up bed sheets with scissors while sobbing nonstop.

No matter how much they called out to her, she didn’t respond at all. She seemed completely out of her mind.

“Dad, is Mom possessed or something?” Darwin asked nervously.

“Quick! Call Master Soidho!” Philip shouted urgently upon hearing his son’s words.

Soon enough, Master Soidho arrived at the McLaughlin family’s home looking rushed and concerned about Kristina’s condition.

“Master Soidho! Thank goodness you’re here!” Philip greeted him eagerly. “My wife is acting strange tonight and won’t stop crying no matter what we do.”

“Don’t worry,” Master Soidho said after examining Kristina upstairs for a moment. “She has been affected by negative energy from evil spirits that roam around during nighttime hours – it happens quite often actually – but I can perform an exorcism ritual to help her.”

At this point, Darwin spoke up hesitantly, “Master Soidho… is my mom going to be okay? Someone told me earlier today that I have a bad omen because two stars fell from my constellation which means my mother might be in danger…”

Hearing this made Master Soidho chuckle, “Mr. McLaughlin… nine out of ten people who claim they can predict fate are frauds. Don’t believe everything you hear!”

After hearing these words from Master Soidho, Darwin breathed a sigh of relief and silently cursed Lachlan under his breath for scaring him like that earlier today…

A few moments later, after Master Soidho performed his ritualistic duties, Kristina finally calmed down enough to fall asleep peacefully on her bed once again…

“Alright, let Mrs. McLaughlin rest well!” Master Soidho said with a smile.

“Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!” Philip expressed his gratitude.

“Master Soidho is truly skilled and knowledgeable. Unlike some people who just talk nonsense and scare others with false information,” Darwin also complimented and then asked, “Master, how much do we owe you for this?”

“You have been working with me for years. How can I charge you for helping out? Consider it as friends helping each other out!” Master Soidho declined the offer generously.

Hearing this, Darwin was impressed, “Master Soidho, you have integrity unlike some people who scared me by saying my mom was in life-threatening danger and demanded 10 million dollars! Ha ha… This is 100, 000 dollars. Please accept it as a token of our appreciation.”

Master Soidho smiled and refused a few times before accepting the money graciously. Then he sneered disdainfully, “These days there are all kinds of people! They’re crazy about money? 10 million dollars? He’s really asking to be ripped off!”

Philip also snorted coldly, “Who is this arrogant person?”

Darwin shrugged indifferently, “Just an insignificant nobody!”

Philip didn’t bother to ask further but warmly invited Master Soidho to stay at his house since it was already late at night, “Why don’t we rest at my place? I’ll have someone prepare some food for us to eat before sleeping.”

“That would be great,” replied Master Soidho without hesitation.

Next, Philip had the villa’s chef prepare a table full of delicious dishes while he and Darwin drank wine with Master Soidho in good spirits!

However, suddenly there was noise coming from upstairs followed by a woman crying loudly.

This time her cries were even more sorrowful than before; they made one’s scalp tingle upon hearing them.

The three men’s faces changed dramatically as they quickly ran up to the second-floor bedroom where Kristina sat on the bed sobbing uncontrollably while blood tears streamed down her face, making her look terrifyingly red-eyed!

At that moment, they noticed that she had tied together strips of cloth cut from earlier into a rope which she hung on the ceiling light fixture inside their room…

“Woo… Woo woo woo…” She cried while standing on top of her bed trying to put her head through the noose…

It was clear that she intended… to hang herself!

“Darling!” Philip’s face turned pale with fear as he rushed to stop his wife, Kristina.

However, Kristina was incredibly strong at that moment and kicked Philip out with one foot. Then she hung there, kicking her legs wildly.

Even though she was hanging up there, she continued to cry. Her crying had changed tone and sounded even more terrifying.

“Help! Help! Get my wife down!” Philip shouted hoarsely as he quickly summoned the villa’s bodyguards and servants.

It took a lot of effort for everyone to get Kristina down and tie her up with ropes so that she wouldn’t harm herself again.

This time, no matter what Master Soidho did, Kristina continued to cry hysterically. She even let out a few sharp screams from time to time while making an extremely frightening expression on her face.

“Master Soidho, what is going on? You said my wife was fine,” Philip asked anxiously.

“I… I don’t know,” Master Soidho replied in a panicked voice while looking distressed himself.

“Hurry up and do something! Aren’t you supposed to be the best master in Edoland?” Philip urged him impatiently.

“I’m not all-powerful either! With Mrs. McLaughlin’s condition… I can’t find the reason myself,” Master Soidho said with an unpleasant expression on his face.

“You bastard! If anything happens to my wife, you won’t be able to stay in Edoland anymore!” Philip yelled angrily.

Upon hearing this threat from Phillip, Master Soidho shuddered suddenly before remembering someone who might be able help them.

“Mr. McLaughlin… maybe there is someone who can help you!”

“Who? Tell me quickly!” Phillip demanded urgently.

“The young man I met during the day! But I don’t know his name… Oh wait… you son has met him before too. It seems like they are acquainted.”

As soon as Darwin heard this conversation between his father and Master Soidho about Lachlan being able help them, Darwin’s facial expressions kept changing rapidly, “Are you talking about Lachlan? He told me that something bad would happen to my mom!”

Philip grabbed Darwin by the collar of his shirt, “What happened exactly? Why didn’t you tell us earlier if someone warned you?”

Darwin cried pitifully, “He asked me for 10 million dollars. I thought he was trying scam me.”

“F*ck it all!! Even if it were 100 million dollars instead of just 10 million dollars -I’d still give it away- hurry up call him over here!”

Philip’s voice was hoarse with urgency as he shouted at his son. As he watched his wife’s condition worsen, her strength seemed to grow with the influx of energy.

The rope that bound her creaked and groaned under her struggles, as if it could break at any moment.

Just moments ago, they had managed to subdue her together. But if she broke free again, who would be able to stop her?
