Daddy the Miracle Medic novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208 I Have a Witness Who Can Prove My Innocence

"I am Malcolm Foster, the head of the Punishment Division in Edoland's North District! If you've done anything wrong, I suggest you confess now!" Malcolm said coldly.

His expression was stern and intimidating.

Lachlan shook his head. "I haven't done anything wrong. What do I need to confess?"

Romeo snorted and held up the evidence in his hand, pointing to the maid beside him. "Lachlan, we have both eyewitnesses and physical evidence today. You can't argue your way out of this one! Let me tell you something - my mother was fine before she received treatment from you, but now she's half-dead! We're going to get her checked out right now and find out if there are excessive levels of arsenic poisoning in her body - all thanks to what you did!"

Harlow also spoke with hatred, "Lachlan, we have witnesses and physical evidence against you now. You can't escape anymore! How about you get my grandmother checked too? Let's see if it matches up with this piece of evidence."

"Owen, George, Jennifer - all of you saw it that day when Lachlan took over Mrs. Lowe's treatment! Now look at Mrs. Lowe's condition; shouldn't he be responsible for what happened?" Eliza shouted loudly.

Owen, George and Jennifer nodded slightly as they looked at Lachlan with unfriendly eyes.

Now, with people testifying and presenting the residue of the medicine, Romeo's family loudly declared their intention to have Victoria's body examined for elevated arsenic levels. All the evidence seemed to confirm the "fact" that Lachlan had poisoned Victoria with the intention of harming her.

"Bullshit! Eyewitnesses and physical evidence can be faked easily enough! My brother-in-law couldn't possibly harm my grandmother!" Mason defended Lachlan at this point while Emmanuel and Cara joined in saying, "If he really harmed her, then why would he bring us here?"

Miranda spoke coldly, "This is ridiculous. Lachlan told me himself that he never treated my grandmother before so where did these traces come from?"

Hearing this statement made by Miranda caused Romeo's eyes to flicker a few times, "How is that possible? Just because he says it didn't happen means it didn't happen? You guys can't just protect him like this!"

"That's right! Mr. Foster, she is Lachlan's wife after all – how could we trust what she says?" Harlow sneered.

At this moment, Lachlan infused his starry gaze with dragon energy as he looked towards Victoria only to see some green poison circulating inside her body indicating a certain amount of arsenic poison actually existed within her system!

Glancing over at the teacup next to Victoria, Lachlan sneered inwardly, "Hehe, Romeo's family really didn't leave any loopholes in framing me."

"I have to admit, if I were really treating Mrs. Lowe these past few days, I'm definitely implicated in this poisoning case," he continued.

"If I am not careful, the charge of poisoning someone will be pinned on me for sure!"

At that moment, Malcolm snorted coldly and motioned for his uniformed officers to take Lachlan away for questioning.

"Take him back and cooperate with our investigation!" he ordered.

"Yes sir!" the officers replied sternly as they approached Lachlan with handcuffs at the ready.

"What are you doing? You can't just arrest someone without investigating first!" Miranda protested as she stepped in front of Lachlan protectively.

"We're just taking him back to assist with our investigation! Please step aside and don't interfere with official business!" Malcolm retorted firmly.

At that moment, he already saw Lachlan as a suspect in the case at hand.

"Who dares take my brother-in-law away?" Mason demanded angrily.

"What are you going to do about it, Mason? Use violence?" Harlow teased him while Eliza sneered at Lachlan saying "Willis, I know you're strong, but if you think you can resist arrest then go ahead!"

The family all knew deep down that even if Lachlan was powerful, there was no way he could fight against national agencies!
