Chapter 63 Leslie Chao Stole The Credit
Lauren was busy with work whereas Zachary was quite free as he knew nothing about business. He would only cause more trouble if he intervened rashly. Therefore, he handed everything over to Lauren. Zachary sped up his cultivation of Shannon Herbal Skill during his excessive free time. He needed to enhance his strength to treat the blood tumor in Abby's brain and Lauren's seven-apertured Disease. On this day, Sienna suddenly came over when Zachary was cultivating at home.
"Sienna, what brings you here?" Looking at Sienna who was indifferent, Zachary was quite surprised.
"Are you not going to welcome me into the house?" Sienna gave him a rare smile.
Zachary welcomed her into the house immediately. Then, he made a cup of tea and handed it to her. Sitting opposite Sienna and not knowing what to say, Zachary felt awkward.
After all, he was not very close to Sienna. She was always unfriendly, giving out an intimidating aura.
After a moment of silence, Zachary started the topic by asking about Abby. "Is Abby alright now?"
Sienna nodded. The expression on her face remained unchanged, saying, "Uncle Harper sent her to the hospital for a check-up. The blood tumor is stabilized temporarily and will not rupture. The doctors are all very surprised." "That's good!"
After a pause, Sienna looked at Zachary in the eye, "Lauren and I were busy with the pharmaceutical company. So, I didn't get the chance to come to thank you formally. I'm here today to express my gratitude." Zachary waved his hand, "You have helped us a lot. You don't have to specially come over to thank me."
Sienna shook her head, "Those were what Lauren and I had agreed on before. I'm here to thank you personally."
Hearing this, Zachary was surprised. He thought that Sienna was really conducting herself professionally. This was how military people behaved! Zachary smiled, "How are you going to thank me, Miss Tang?"
Sienna was taken aback. She stammered embarrassingly, "I... didn't prepare a gift. I just came here to express my gratitude."
"Ah!" Zachary was shocked, bursting into laughter. He thought that he was already terrible in common decency, but Sienna was worse than him.
Sienna was also bashful, she didn't expect this kind of situation to happen. The atmosphere in the living room turned a little awkward for a moment.
In order to ease the tension, Zachary turned on the TV and changed the topic, "Please enjoy some TV shows. I'm going to prepare some snacks."
Then, Zachary's gaze fell on the TV. The news channel of Ludington City was opened and there was a piece of news playing on the TV.
He didn't pay attention to it at first. After taking a few glances at it, he found that something was wrong. His face darkened and he stared at the TV screen. Seeing this, Sienna was a little curious. She focused on the news as well.
The host's voice came from the TV, "According to a citizen, a kind doctor helped to treat a passer-by who was seriously ill in front of Limindane Mall at Eastin Road a few days ago. Please take a look for more detailed information below." Soon, a video was shown on the news. The video was quite shaky and the resolution was low. It seemed that the video was taken by an onlooker with a mobile phone.
The video featured a young girl lying on the ground with blood all over her face. There was a handsome young man trying to rescue her at the side.
Looking at this familiar scene, Zachary quickly realized that this was precisely the scene when Abby collapsed in front of the shopping mall. However, the person who was treating her in the video was Leslie from the Topstate Hospital instead of Zachary.
The host elaborated on the situation. Then, the video showed Abby waking up and thanking the doctor sweetly. After that, it featured Leslie turning around and leaving.
All of these did happen on that day. However, it was obvious that someone had cut off some parts of the video that featured Zachary, conveying a different message.

The little girl fell ill and the young doctor, Leslie, came forward to treat her. He cured the little girl successfully and the little girl expressed her gratitude to him. In the end, the doctor turned around and left gracefully.
The host's voice sounded again after the video came to an end, "According to the information from the video and the onlookers, we finally confirmed that the doctor who saved this little girl is the chief physician of the General Surgery Department in Topstate Hospital. His name is Leslie Chao. Our reporter specifically went to Topstate Hospital to interview him. Now, let's look at the live interview.
The scene immediately turned to the live interview going on. Leslie, who was wearing a white coat, was standing in front of the camera with a smile on his face. The TV station reporter was next to him, and many people were surrounding them. Most of them were young women.
"Dr. Chao, we are sure that it was you who saved the little girl in front of the shopping mall that day. Why didn't you leave any information before leaving?" The reporter asked.
Leslie adjusted his spectacles and smiled, with a look of justice on his face. "I am a doctor. It is my duty to save lives no matter where I am. I have never thought about fame and fortune. Since the patient was cured, I thought it was time for me to leave."
Seeing Leslie's righteous look on the TV screen, Zachary would be deceived if he didn't know the truth. Leslie dared to say that it was his duty to save lives in front of the camera. It was such a great irony compared to his behavior that day. Although Sienna did not know what happened in front of the shopping mall that day, she definitely knew that Abby was cured by Zachary instead of Leslie. Her expression turned dark instantly.
"Dr. Chao is really a man of integrity! Can you please tell us more about how you treated the patient?" The reporter asked again.
Leslie talked with fervor and assurance, explaining how critical the patient was at that time and how he made his move in time. He mentioned that it took a lot of effort for him to cure the patient. "Let's go find him now!" Sienna stood up and said coldly.
Zachary's face fell. He shook his head slightly and did not move. Everyone would believe in Leslie after watching this news. They might think Zachary was trying to become famous if he argued with Leslie now. Besides, Zachary didn't care about his fame at all. He was quite a busy man.
The reporter raised a question at this moment, "Dr. Chao, you have become a chief physician at such a young age. And you have a noble character as well. I'm wondering if you are still single? If yes, can you tell us what you look for in a partner?"

Gossips always attracted attention. As expected, the question from the reporter stirred an uproar in the crowd behind them. Many bold girls started crying out loud. "Dr. Chao, I love you!"
"Dr. Chao, I want to have a baby with you!"
...
Hearing this, Leslie laughed. He could really deceive many innocent girls with his pretty face.
"Well, I'm still single at the moment." As soon as he finished speaking, there were excited screams from the girls behind him.
"I hope that my girlfriend will be like Lauren Lim, who is from your TV station," Leslie said with a smile.
The reporter was stunned, and then immediately asked, "May I know what's the relationship between you two? Are both of you a couple?"
Leslie smiled and said with some cover-up, "We are just friends for the time being. We will just go with the flow." Although Leslie didn't admit it, it was obvious that he was hinting that he had a close relationship with Lauren and they were almost a couple now.
Many girls behind him sighed after hearing what he said. Some of them shouted excitedly, "A handsome man and a beautiful woman are really a perfect match."
Hearing this, Zachary's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't tolerate it anymore.
"Let's go!" He stood up and said to Sienna.
