Miracle Doctor Daddy

Meanwhile, on the other side!

Violet had rushed back to the Ancient Willis family manor overnight. Inside the manor, as Hayden, the family head, listened to his granddaughter’s account, his face displayed a mix of emotions.

“Maximus, are they your people?”

“Are you secretly planning to capture the inheritor on your own, behind my back?”

“What exactly do you intend to do, Mr. Maximus? The family already holds a position above all others. What is your true purpose?”

Hayden let out a sigh, his eyes filled with a hint of sorrow. He, Maximus, and even Nikolas, who had defected from the family years ago, were actually half-brothers.

Could it be that they were truly destined to turn against each other?

At this moment, Violet hesitated for a while before gathering her courage and asking, “Grandfather, there are some things I want to ask you.”

“Go ahead!”

Seemingly anticipating what his granddaughter wanted to ask, Hayden let out a bitter smile.

Violet looked at her grandfather and said, “Lachlan claimed he is a traitor. Is it true? He also said that you were only using me to lure him back and that he would never succeed you as the family head. And… there is no possibility of me… marrying him.”

After speaking, Violet gazed at her grandfather with unwavering eyes, as if expecting a particular answer.

In the next moment, a tinge of regret appeared on Hayden’s face as he sighed, “Actually, I had already suspected that the inheritor would be a descendant of Nikolas. Even if the dragon-shaped jade pendant fell into the hands of an outsider, how could they obtain the inheritance? Lachlan… what a Lachlan indeed! The Dragon Ancestor’s inheritance that the Ancient Willis family had pursued for generations has unexpectedly fallen into Nikolas’s grandson’s hands. Good! Excellent… Finally, there is hope for the Ancient Willis family! The curse that has plagued our family for generations may one day be lifted… Good… Good…”

Hayden’s eyes sparkled as he seemed to mutter to himself, filled with continuous sighs.

“Grandfather! You haven’t answered my question yet.”

Violet stamped her foot in frustration and exclaimed.

It seemed that she didn’t care about the future of the family or the curses endured through generations. What concerned her the most was whether her grandfather was truly using her and if she was really going to marry… that guy.

Hayden smiled at his granddaughter, then a trace of guilt appeared on his face. “Grandfather hasn’t deceived you. I truly intend to let Lachlan inherit the position of the family head. As for him being a traitor…”

At this point, Hayden let out a heavy sigh. “Actually… it was a colossal misunderstanding from the past! As long as Nikolas’s grandson is willing to return to the family and take the position of the family head, what’s the harm? He is the hope to obtain the inheritance of the Dragon Ancestor. Back then, the family owed your grandfather Nikolas an apology! Back then, your grandfather Nikolas carried the dragon-shaped jade pendant passed down through generations and went out…”

Just as Hayden was about to tell the story of the past to Violet, a report was heard from outside.

“Reporting to the family head!”

Hayden immediately stopped his narration, his expression turning serious. In a commanding tone, he said, “Enter!”

The next moment, a guard from the Manor of the Family Head entered, kneeling on one knee and said, “Mr. Maximus has sent a message. There is important information regarding the inheritor. He requests the family head’s presence at the Elder Hall to discuss it in detail.”

As Hayden heard the words, he raised an eyebrow with a slight movement in his eyes.

“Hmph, what tricks is Mr. Maximus up to again? Grandfather, I’m going too!”

“There are some things I want to ask him myself!”

Violet stepped forward and spoke.

After a moment of contemplation, Hayden shook his head and said, “Violet, don’t keep referring to him as Mr. Maximus. After all, he is your great-grandfather! Stay here and wait for me. I’ll go see what he has to say. Things might not be as we think.”

“Hmph!”

Violet snorted lightly but didn’t go against her grandfather’s wishes.

After a while…

The Ancient Willis family Elder Hall!

When Hayden arrived, besides Mr. Maximus, there were already three other elders present.

They were in charge of family discipline and punishment, external conflicts, and resource allocation, respectively.

All of them held high positions of power within the family.

Moreover, they were the three strongest individuals among the twelve elder members of the family.

Their strength had reached the terrifying mid-stage of Void Reclusion.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

They were only a step below Hayden, the family head, and Mr. Maximus.

Apart from them, there was also the Supreme Elder of the Ancient Willis family, who no longer dealt with internal affairs.

But his status and position couldn’t be underestimated.

He was Hayden’s uncle, named Reggie.

Reggie appeared with a withered appearance, like an elderly person nearing the end of their life, exuding a chilling aura.

However, his strength was incredibly terrifying, even surpassing Hayden, the family head, by a few points.

He had reached the unimaginable peak of the late-stage of Void Reclusion, only a hair’s breadth away from breaking through to the Fragmentation Void Realm.

At this moment, when Hayden arrived, all four elders, including Reggie, stood up and greeted him.

They saluted, saying, “Greetings, Family Head!”

“Hmm, we are all family, no need for formalities.”

Hayden waved his hand,

The next moment, he bowed to Reggie and said, “Uncle!”

“Hmm! You all talk, I’m just here to sit and listen!”

The Supreme Elder nodded and remained silent.

Hayden agreed and took a seat in the main position of the Elder Hall.

Then, he turned to Maximus and asked, “Maximus, you said there’s news about the successor. What news? Tell me quickly.”

Maximus nodded and raised his bushy eyebrows, saying, “Reporting to the Family Head, I have secretly sent people to find that successor. Surprisingly, he is the grandson of Nikolas, who once betrayed the family! A young man named Lachlan.”

“Oh?”

Hayden remained composed and asked in a deep voice, “And where is this person? Did you bring him back?”

Upon hearing this, Maximus sighed bitterly, shook his head, and said, “Blame my men for their inefficiency. They failed to bring him back alive. It seems that besides us, there are others who want to capture this Lachlan!”

“There is a woman whose strength is on par with my subordinates!”

“My men engaged in a fierce battle with her, trying to desperately seize the successor. However, it ended with one dead and one injured!”

“Family Head, it’s my incompetence. I’m sorry, I’m sorry to you and the Willis family!”
