Daddy the Miracle Medic

Chapter 503 Coercion

Kyrie handed Lachlan a small gourd and said, "Lachlan, I have to go now. This gourd has a pair of seeds in it, and I'm giving one to you. If you ever encounter any danger or trouble that you can't solve, just crush it. Even if I'm in seclusion or cut off from the outside world, I'll be able to sense it."

"Remember, no matter how big the crisis is or how strong the enemy is, I can help you solve it!"

Lachlan took the gourd with gratitude in his eyes and felt that this sworn brother was truly righteous.

"Thank you so much for this, Big Brother!"

Kyrie laughed heartily and shook the alchemy notebook Lachlan had given him. "I should be thanking you! We're destined to meet each other like this; these are all my responsibilities as your Big Brother haha!"

After saying goodbye, Kyrie got on his car.

"Goodbye!" Nora waved at the Great Witch Doctor while shouting crisply.

The next second Madden started his car with Kyrie inside and drove away.

"Lachlan, your sworn brother is really good to you." Miranda said sincerely as she watched Kyrie leave.

"Yeah," Lachlan nodded with gratitude in his eyes.

If not for Kyrie's help, Nora's curse would have flared up again soon? That was why Lachlan was most grateful for the Great Witch Doctor's help. If he had any ability later on, he would definitely repay him twice over!

Lachlan thought silently as he carefully put away the little gourd left by Kyrie into his mustard seed bag.

The Ward family!

Erik received a phone call which made him frown tightly with anger flashing across his face.

"Erik! Caleb and his wife got into trouble over here in lylonio! They seem to have been kidnapped by some desperados who contacted us today asking us for ransom money! They want 1 billion dollars just like that! They say if they don't see money within five days, they'll kill them!"

On the phone, Edward, the third-generation descendant of the the Ward family in lylonio, sounded anxious and concerned.

"Desperados? Those desperados, I suppose they are working for your family, right?" Erik couldn't help but let out a heavy sneer upon hearing this. Caleb, mentioned by Edward, was none other than Erik's eldest grandson Caleb Ward and his wife, Chloe's parents.

Although their branch had moved from lylonio to Edoland, they still had significant business interests in lylonio. Caleb and his wife often stayed in lylonio, taking care of the business there.

Erik never expected that the the family in lylonio would lay hands on his grandson just to obtain the key in his possession. And to claim that he was kidnapped by desperados? Ha... "Grandpa, I don't understand what you're saying. We are doing our best to rescue Caleb here. Please don't dampen our spirits," Edward innocently pleaded.

Erik gritted his teeth and said, "Is your grandfather there? Let me talk to him! I have nothing to discuss with a young one like you."

"Alright," Edward replied without getting upset and handed the phone to Anders, who was beside him. Anders was the patriarch of the Ward family in lylonio and Erik's older brother.

"Erik..."

After picking up the phone, Anders called out, his tone sounding somewhat affectionate and nostalgic, carrying a hint of reminiscence.

"Anders, can you believe that you laid hands on a younger generation? Is that appropriate? No matter what, Caleb should call you Grandpa!" Erik angrily interrogated.

Anders chuckled, "Erik, calm down. We are doing our best to negotiate with those fugitives for Caleb. We are going all out to help him. Is it right for you to throw dirt on us as soon as you call? Doesn't seem appropriate, does it?"

"Tell me, what do you want?" Erik demanded in an angry voice.

"What do I want? You should know, right? We are helping you rescue Caleb here. As a reward and thanks, you give me the key in your possession. How about that?" Anders said.

"What if I don't give it?" Erik's tone turned icy.

"If you don't? Well, it will be difficult

for us to help you then. Those fugitives might tear up the

agreement, and you might end unet

Erik's face turned extremely pale upon hearing this. "Anders, you're ruthless! Fine, I will bring the key to you. I hope you negotiate well with those fugitives.' If anything happens to Caleb and his wife, you'll never see that key in your lifetime!"

"Don't worry! Whatever ransom those kidnappers demand, I will cover it for you," Anders immediately felt delighted upon hearing Erik's words.

"Heh heh..." Erik let out two cold laughs and hung up the phone directly.

"Grandpa, did something happen to Caleb?" Henry asked with a grave expression beside him.

Erik nodded and sighed deeply. "I never expected that Anders would actually resort to harming his own family for that key. He truly has gone mad!"

Henry clenched his teeth and said angrily, "Grandpa, I'll go to lylonio and rescue my big brother!"

Upon hearing this, Erik glanced at his second grandson and shook his head. "Nonsense! How can you stir up trouble in lylonio? You'll only end up in the hands of Anders."

"What should we do then? Are you willing to obediently give away the key? Grandpa, are you... content with that?"

Back then, Erik himself had been resentfully driven out of lylonio. Now, even the last shred of dignity as the Ward family lineage was about to be lost.

"How can I be content?" Erik's face

showed a range of emotions, and he

finally gritted his teeth and said,

"Anders forced me into this. Even ift

can't keep this key, I won't let him succeed easily! Does he want to open that underground tomb? won't hesitate to get someone involved with him! If there's really some great opportunity inside, I won't let him monopolize it! Hmph!"From NôvelDrama.Org.

With these words, Erik, who had long made up his mind, dialed a phone number.

"Lachlan, are you available?"

At this moment, Lachlan had just said goodbye to Kyrie and was driving Nora to kindergarten for her first day.

Receiving this call, he was somewhat surprised. "Yes, I am available. Mr. Ward, what's the matter? Do you need something?"

"Well, I do have a little something I need your help with! If it's convenient, could you come over? Or you can suggest a place, and I'll come to you," Erik politely expressed.

"Then I'll come over! Now?" Lachlan asked.

"Yes, if you don't have anything else, come over now. It's something that can't be explained over the phone."
