There was a hint of reluctance in Samantha and Nora’s eyes. After a brief silence, Lachlan suddenly chuckled and said, “That’s not a problem. I can take Nora and follow you home.”
Huh?!
Upon hearing Lachlan’s words, Samantha’s eyes also lit up with surprise. Of course, in the secular world, there were hardly any people who could pose a threat to her with her skills. However, the thought of Lachlan accompanying her made her secretly delighted.
“Mr. Willis, is that really possible?”
“What’s impossible? I just need to explain it to the Vice Sect Master. Wait for me.”
After Lachlan finished speaking, he turned and headed towards Sullivan’s residence.
In fact, Lachlan’s purpose for coming to the Broken Pulse Sect this time was merely to “check things out.” His main goal was to see Nora, and he didn’t plan on staying for long. And in the past few days, Nora had asked countless times about the whereabouts of her mother, Miranda.
It seemed that she missed her mother very much, so it was time to take the little one back home for a visit.
After hearing Lachlan’s request to leave the sect, Sullivan considered it for a moment and agreed. After all, Lachlan was originally a secular person, and now that he had obtained the identity of a disciple of the Broken Pulse Sect, he had already achieved his goal. Besides, focusing solely on cultivation within the sect was not feasible; one’s state of mind was also important.
However, before Sullivan left, he gave Lachlan a life-saving treasure in case of emergencies. He also reminded Lachlan that he was now a disciple of the Broken Pulse Sect, belonging to the ancient realm. He should not casually use his true energy against ordinary people below the Uppecia Realm in the outside world.
…
Noon of the same day!
After saying goodbye to Fiona, that little girl, Lachlan packed up with Nora and Samantha, and left the sect. After arriving in Westunity City, Lachlan and Samantha had a meal to fill their stomachs. During the meal, while Lachlan peeled shrimp for Nora, he asked Samantha, “By the way, Samantha, what illness does your father have?”
Samantha had taken great care of Nora in Fairy Peak, and even sacrificed her own innocence to protect Nora from Guillermo and others. Lachlan deeply engraved this favor in his heart. If he could help her, he naturally wouldn’t hesitate.
As soon as he finished speaking, Samantha’s expression suddenly turned somewhat unpleasant, hesitatingly shaking her head and saying, “It’s nothing, just a chronic illness…”
Observing her expression and tone, how could Lachlan not know that her father’s illness seemed to be quite troublesome?
“What illness is it exactly? Is it not convenient to say?”
Samantha forced a bitter smile and said, “There’s nothing inconvenient about saying it. It’s just that even if I say it, it won’t make a difference… It’s… it’s leukemia, as known in the secular world… I don’t know why my father ended up with this disease.”
Upon hearing this, Lachlan’s expression changed, and he couldn’t help but ask, “Leukemia?”
“Yes, they say it’s an incurable disease…”
Samantha bit her lip, her beautiful eyes misting over.
However, Lachlan was somewhat speechless. Didn’t he help Lowe’s Pharmaceutical launch Love Light, the miraculous drug for treating leukemia? Shouldn’t it be available nationwide? How come when it reached Samantha’s ears, it was still referred to as an incurable disease?
Oh, almost forgot!
Samantha’s ability to enter a prestigious ancient sect like the Broken Pulse Sect meant that she came from an ancient martial family. Such families were often relatively closed off from the outside world, so it was normal for them to be unaware of Love Light.
“Huh? Isn’t leukemia an incurable disease? There’s a treatment for it?”
At this moment, Samantha’s eyes were filled with astonishment as she looked at Lachlan and asked. The mist still lingered in her eyes, making her look pitiful and evoking sympathy.
“Yes! There is a treatment! There’s an extraordinary drug called Love Light that has remarkable effects on all types of leukemia!”
Lachlan nodded.
“Ah? Is it true? Are you kidding me?”
“Did you see an advertisement somewhere?” Samantha asked with half-belief and half-doubt.
Her heart was filled with hope and anticipation, but also with strong skepticism. After all, before this, there were many scammers and unscrupulous pharmaceutical companies claiming to have developed a cure for leukemia. In the end, they only brought disappointment to countless patients.
“It’s true! The medicine… was actually developed by me. Do you think I’m lying?” Lachlan asked with a beaming smile.
Nora, who was beside them, covered her mouth and giggled a few times. It seemed amusing to her when someone called her daddy a liar.
As Samantha’s expression turned cold, she let out an “Ah?”
Then a blush spread across her pretty face, and she felt a bit embarrassed as she quickly shook her head. “No! No, Senior, that’s not what I meant! I believe that you developed it…”
While saying this, Samantha stole a glance at Lachlan. In her heart, she wondered how Lachlan could also be involved in pharmaceutical research. For some reason, upon hearing that Lachlan had developed the medicine, she was filled with joy and anticipation. All her concerns and doubts vanished instantly. Although they hadn’t known each other for long, Samantha had an indescribable trust in Lachlan.
“Well, let’s go get the medicine later.”
“By the way, I have a friend in Westunity who happens to be involved in wholesale pharmaceutical business. We can go directly to him to get the medicine.”
As Lachlan spoke, he remembered an “old acquaintance” – Flynn, the president of the Merton Agenecline Medicine Association, and also the largest pharmaceutical distributor in Merton.
It was Fraser who introduced Flynn to him. Back then, when Miranda was tricked by Victoria and Romeo, causing Lowe’s Pharmaceutical to lose its distributor in Edoland, resulting in a potential surplus of produced drugs, it was Lachlan who asked Fraser, Erik, and Caelan to help him contact several major pharmaceutical distributors nationwide. That was how he managed to overcome the urgent situation and change the fate of the company.
The first person to rush to Edoland at that time was Flynn. Coincidentally, Flynn was from Westunity, so Lachlan planned to get some Love Light from him. After all, with the popularity of this miraculous drug, Lachlan couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t end up buying counterfeit products. It was safer to directly get the medicine from Flynn.
“Alright.”
“Senior, whatever you say, I’ll listen to you.”
Samantha nodded, her smile blooming like a flower. The gloom in her heart disappeared completely when she heard that there was a treatment for her father’s illness, and she couldn’t help but develop some strange emotions towards Lachlan.
“Don’t call me senior anymore, it makes me feel old! Just call me Lachlan or whatever you like.”
Lachlan waved his hand, feeling a bit uncomfortable with Samantha’s way of addressing him.
“Um… Lachlan…”
Samantha’s beautiful eyes wandered, her voice carrying a trace of inexplicable shyness as she called out softly.
