Chapter 182 I’m Just Telling You Your Time of Death
Dale’s reaction to seeing Lachlan caught everyone off guard!
Next, he had Harlow help Victoria back into the house, as if there were some things that couldn’t be said in front of her.
Victoria’s face was dark and full of suspicion, hesitating for a moment before following Dale’s instructions and going inside.
“Mr. Hall, what are you talking about?” Eliza asked once Victoria was inside.
Dale’s eyes flickered for a moment before he laughed out loud. “Dr. Willis’ medical skills may not necessarily be superior to mine, but when it comes to certain difficult illnesses, perhaps he has a way!”
With that said, he turned to Lachlan and smiled. “Dr. Willis, Mrs. Lowe is getting weaker by the day and I don’t have any good solutions! Since you’re here today to treat her illness too, then I’ll leave it up to you from now on.”
Eliza was suddenly anxious at hearing this! What? Dale didn’t care about their agreement to secretly kill Victoria?
Eliza frantically signaled Dale with her eyes but he ignored her completely.
Lachlan raised an eyebrow in response. “Oh? You’re leaving it up to me?”
“Yes! But please let me finish giving her acupuncture today since this is one course of treatment; let me finish treating one course first so we can see if there are any effects.” Dale explained.
Lachlan narrowed his eyes slightly wondering what kind of trick Dale was trying pull here.
Did he cause Victoria’s body condition like this?
Why did he suddenly stop and hand over responsibility for Victoria?
“Alright then,” Lachlan nodded calmly.
“Well as they say ‘a doctor must do everything possible’, all I can do is try my best.” Dale sighed with regretful expression on his face.
Saying that, he turned around and headed towards the house where Victoria would receive her final treatment.
However just as Lachlan, Miranda, and Emmanuel were about to follow him inside, Dale stopped them in their tracks.
“Dr. Willis, I cannot reveal my secret acupuncture technique. So… you probably shouldn’t come in. I hope you understand, haha…”
Dale explained with a smile on his face.
As soon as he went in, Harlow, who had helped Victoria into the house earlier, was also asked to come out.
It seemed that Dale’s next acupuncture technique was really a secret that had been passed down from generation to generation and not allowed to be watched.
“Lachlan, how is my grandmother? Do you have any confidence in curing her?” Miranda asked anxiously at this time.
Emmanuel also looked at Lachlan eagerly with concern on his face.
“Let’s see later,” Lachlan stared sharply in the direction of the door, as if his eyes could penetrate through it.
After a while…
Dale walked out from inside, “It’s over! Oh… but my life potential stimulating acupuncture technique is still powerless! Dr. Willis, I’ll leave it to you for Mrs. Lowe. I can’t do anything!”
A meaningful smile appeared on Lachlan’s face and he nodded, “Okay!”
After speaking, he strode towards the room inside.
At this time, Dale glanced at Lachlan with a sinister look flashing across his face before leaving this courtyard.
Eliza signaled Harlow to stay here and then followed him up.
When they arrived at an unmanned place, Eliza stopped Dale.
“Mr. Hall what are you doing? How could you hand Victoria over to Lachlan? Don’t forget what you promised us! We’ve already paid.”
Eliza questioned urgently.
Dale was inscrutable and cunningly smiled, “Madam don’t worry. Mrs. Lowe won’t live long! She is so weak now that Lachlan will definitely supplement her body during treatment! But I have secretly done something on her body already!” He chuckled darkly.
“Hahaha… as long as Lachlan treats her, she will only accelerate towards death. By day seven she will undoubtedly die due to being treated by him instead of being killed by him or Miranda! You guys operate well enough and maybe even send this kid behind bars!”
At first Dale didn’t want to take on this job but later found out that Romeo’s family wanted revenge against both Lachlan and Miranda which made him agree.
Last time when he couldn’t solve Liam’s “strange illness” instead scared himself into kneeling down begging for help from Lachlan.
This made Dale feel ashamed and vowed revenge!Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Upon hearing this, Eliza’s previous worries and anger dissipated, replaced by a vicious and playful expression on her face. “So that’s it! Dr. Hall you’re truly clever!” she exclaimed.
“When the time comes, we must make sure that this guy gets what he deserves! And as for Miranda, that little slut, and her family – they better watch out too!”
With that said, Eliza’s eyes darted around as she pulled out her phone to make a call.
Meanwhile on the other side of town…
As Lachlan entered the room, Victoria sat up in bed with an extremely hostile expression on her face. “Willis, get out!” she spat.
“I don’t need you to cure me even if I die,” she continued venomously.
Lachlan looked at her coldly before letting out a laugh. “Who said I came here to cure you? I just came here to tell you about your impending death!”
At these words, Victoria’s expression changed abruptly as she gritted her teeth and asked through them, “What did you say?”
Lachlan glanced at the bowl of egg custard sitting on the table before asking in a low voice, “If I’m not mistaken… you’ve been eating egg custard every day recently?”
Victoria was taken aback by his knowledge – it was true! She had always enjoyed eating egg custard but lately Eliza had been especially attentive towards her needs and had started making it for her every day.
She hadn’t realized how much care Eliza was showing towards herself until now when she wasn’t feeling well; seeing how much effort Eliza put into taking care of herself made Victoria feel particularly touched.
“You think this daughter-in-law is specially good?” Lachlan sneered. “Well let me tell you something – starting tomorrow onwards she won’t be making any more food for you! In fact within seven days your second son will persuade you to hold a family meeting where he’ll take over as head of household because they all believe that in seven days’ time… you’ll be dead without question.”
As Lachlan finished speaking, he wore an evil grin upon his face, “But if there ever comes a time when you don’t want to die anymore… you can come find me instead! Of course there will be conditions attached…”
Without so much as touching Victoria or helping with any sort of treatment whatsoever throughout their conversation, Lachlan turned around directly after finishing his sentence and walked straight out of the room.
Throughout their entire exchange not once did he lay hands upon Victoria nor offer any assistance with curing whatever ailment afflicted her body; yet despite this fact, Victoria sat there listening intently while emotions flickered across her face.
After he left the room, Miranda and Emmanuel approached him cautiously from behind.
“Lachlan, how is my grandmother doing?” The goddess CEO asked with concern.
Lachlan smiled reassuringly and said, “Don’t worry, as long as she doesn’t want to die herself, she won’t die!”
Upon hearing this, Miranda and his father-in-law Emmanuel breathed a sigh of relief.
“Ha! Do you think you’re a god or the king of hell? Just because you say it doesn’t mean it’s true?” At this moment, Harlow sneered beside them and sarcastically taunted.
“Oh? From what you just said, it seems like you’re looking forward to your grandmother’s death?” Lachlan sneered coldly.
“You…” Harlow’s tone suddenly faltered. “I didn’t mean that! I meant that you’re useless and can’t cure my grandmother. You just talk big!”
