Daddy the Miracle Medic

Chapter 25 If you don't want to embarrass yourself, then get lost!

Today, Miranda left work early to go pick up Nora from kindergarten with Lachlan. They drove in the same Bentley Mulsanne as before, but this time Lachlan was driving.

On the way there, Miranda asked him to stop so she could buy Nora a 4X locator watch that also had calling capabilities. She felt it was only right and proper to bring a gift for her first official meeting with his daughter since their brief encounter in the hospital.

Lachlan didn't say much but silently acknowledged that women from prominent families like hers always observed formalities and protocol. "Daddy!"

After school, Nora spotted Lachlan immediately and ran over to him with joy in her eyes. Seeing his little girl running towards him filled Lachlan's heart with tenderness and contentment. He couldn't help but smile indulgently at her antics

Compared to when she was lying helpless on a hospital bed barely clinging onto life, seeing Nora now bouncing around full of energy made it seem like two different people entirely.

Miranda stood by watching them interact and couldn't help feeling a twinge of jealousy at how lovingly he looked at his daughter. It seemed like he had transformed into an entirely different person compared to the ruthless man who would not hesitate to take down Rex in their company meetings.

For some reason, thinking about how caring he was towards his daughter reminded her of her own father which made her feel sad inside. She wished that he could be just as supportive of her as well - someone who would always have her back no matter what happened or when she needed them most.

But instead, all they wanted for their daughter was for her to marry into the Austin family which made Miranda feel even more alone than ever before.

"Nora, did you have fun at school today? Did anyone bully you?" Lachlan squatted down and picked up Nora, giving her nose a little scratch.

Hearing this, Miranda couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Didn't most parents ask if their kids were good or not? If they misbehaved? This guy just cared about his own daughter and whether she was being bullied or not. Talk about playing favorites...

"Nope! I had so much fun today! I played with lots of other kids and the teacher was really nice to me," Nora said.

It made sense though - Nora got into the school because of connections through the Ward family, and even the principal had talked to her teacher beforehand.
