Daddy the Miracle Medic

Chapter 275 Why Did You Come Empty-Handed?

Upon hearing Markus' words, Emmanuel and Cara furrowed their brows in confusion. What did he mean by not minding if their daughter had been divorced? And who said anything about Miranda getting a divorce and marrying him? It was as if Markus believed that Miranda was actually going to leave her husband for him.

"Markus, Miranda has a great relationship with her husband. You don't need to worry about it," Cara said, her tone now slightly cool.

Alfred's family didn't say anything more after that. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Mom and Dad, we're back! Open up!" Miranda called from outside.

"Miranda's here!" Cara exclaimed excitedly as she rushed over to open the door. Emmanuel also stood up and walked towards the entrance of the house.

Markus heard Miranda's voice which made his heart skip a beat. He looked towards the door with excitement building inside of him. When they opened it, Lachlan and Miranda walked in holding hands with Nora following behind them while Mason trailed at their heels like an obedient puppy dog.

"Emmanuel, Cara!" Lachlan greeted them cheerfully as he entered the room while Nora looked up at Emmanuel and Cara sweetly calling out, "Grandpa! Grandma!"

"Eh! So this is Nora? She's such an adorable child," Cara smiled warmly at Nora while Emmanuel suddenly remembered something important before rushing off into another room only to come back carrying a large Barbie doll in his arms saying, "Here you go, Nora! This is your grandparent's gift for meeting you!"

They both loved little Nora because she was Lachlan's daughter so they treated her like one of their own grandchildren too!

"Thank you Grandpa, Grandma!" At first when she saw Emmanuel and Cara, Nora felt nervous but when she saw what they brought for her, she became happy again hugging it tightly against herself.
