Daddy the Miracle Medic novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296 Miranda's Helplessness

Claudia's eyes lit up when she heard Kayden's plan. She felt that this was a brilliant idea, using Nora as the key to break Lachlan and Miranda apart. Lachlan cared about Nora more than anything else, so if they could make Nora hate Miranda, it would be easy to separate them.

"Great! Let's do it!" Claudia said excitedly in her mind. "Lachlan, you will be mine sooner or later!"

That evening, after school, Nora hurriedly ran to the school gate with anticipation in her big eyes. She wanted to see the familiar figure waiting for her there.

But when she saw Miranda instead of Lachlan waiting for her, disappointment washed over her face.

"Miranda!" she greeted sweetly but couldn't hide the sadness in her eyes.

Miranda sighed inwardly and took Nora's hand. Just then Claudia appeared with a smile on her face and approached them.

"Nora!" she exclaimed lovingly as she opened up her arms towards Nora.

"Mommy!"

Nora saw Claudia and ran towards her happily while breaking free from Miranda's grip. "Mommy! Why are you here?" she asked excitedly while jumping into Claudia's arms.

"I came to see my little angel," Claudia replied with a smile as if showing how much love and care she had for their daughter.

At this moment, Miranda, watching the scene unfold before her, involuntarily furrowed her brows. Nora breaking free from her hand and running towards Claudia's embrace had sparked a self-deprecating and despondent feeling in Miranda. Even now, the image of Lachlan standing by, Claudia holding Nora, like a family of three, flashed in her mind.

Taking a deep breath, Miranda didn't choose to compete with Nora, though she felt extremely uncomfortable. Still, driven by a sense of responsibility, she spoke to Nora, "Nora, let's go! It's time to go home!"

She knew about Claudia's betrayal of Nora to Tiger, and Lachlan had warned her not to let Claudia near Nora again. Even though Lachlan was not present now, and Nora seemed close to her "biological mother," Miranda still did what she believed was her duty.

"Oh..."

Nora looked back at Claudia with some reluctance, hesitated for a moment, and then returned to Miranda's side. This made Miranda feel slightly better. Nora was still very sensible after all.

But in the depths of Claudia's eyes, there was a hint of gloom: this little brat actually chose Miranda? Your own mother is here, and you actually went over to another woman when she called you?

For a moment, Claudia, who was already cold-blooded and utilitarian, even felt some resentment towards Nora! When her daughter was critically ill, she could abandon her husband and child without hesitation; it showed that Claudia didn't really care about this daughter.

Now, she only saw Nora as a tool to win back Lachlan!

"Nora, I miss you so much! Where's your dad? How about we go out for dinner together tonight?" Claudia squeezed out a false smile on her face and asked softly.

"Dad..." Nora opened her mouth to say something but Miranda pulled her back.

The next second, the goddess CEO said indifferently to Claudia, "Ms. Carter, my husband is still waiting for me and Nora at home. Let's talk another day if there's anything else. Goodbye." She then tried to take Nora away from there.

Claudia blinked several times before taking two quick steps forward blocking Miranda and Nora's way. The next second she sneered with some mockery, "Ohh... your husband again? Haven't you seen those pho..."
