Chapter 149 A Thief


    “Le, you really impress us! I can’t believe your skills have overtaken ours so much.”


    Hearing thepliment from others, Le was thrilled.


    Now everyone deemed that it was Le who saved that olddy.


    Actually, Le wanted to tell the truth at the very beginning. However, it had been so long since she


    enjoyed being the focus of allst time.


    Because of that, she decided to steal the merit.


    “Jesus, guys, did you see an olddy? She’s medium tall…” Dean Hart scurried over, looking anxious.


    Behind her a group of assistants were following.


    “Eloise, where are you?”


    “Dean Hart, don’t worry. I have saved her.” Le soon noticed what was happening.


    When seeing the anxious look of Dean Hart, she could tell that this olddy must be influential.


    “How did you do that?” Dean Hart looked at her.


    “The needle.” As Le knew that Jessica had been using needles to fight disease, she was aware that


    needles could be the most credible answer.


    Dean Hart took a look at her and walked inside the room. After a thorough check, she turned around to


    walk out of the room. Then she stepped over to Le, “Le, tell me the truth! How did you master


    Escape?” Dean Hart was shocked while asking. And so was everyone around when hearing that.


    Escape had known to be the most challenging skill to master. It required specific needles made of gold,


    which was highly flexible. Thus it’s challenging to use even for the most veteran medical expert.


    Besides, only few of the medical practitioners had ever heard about that. If Le indeed mastered such


    a skill, her future would be incredibly promising.


    After all, every detail of Escape required perfect control of the skills. Even a mere fault would turn to be


    deadly.


    That skill had been known as a kind of legend, which most of them had barely seen. So they were all


    stunned when witnessing this miracle.


    Le still remainedposed. Though she wasn’t talented in medical study, she had seen this kind of


    skill from the medical book she stole. Besides, she had tried to practice it. Even if she didn’t have this


    kind of special needle, she still deemed herself brilliant enough to master it.


    In her view, it didn’t matter to know who Eloise Bailey really was. More importantly, she made herself


    the savior, who deserved the glory of all.


    “Dean Hart, you’re right. I save her with the help of Escape.” Le smiled proudly.


    “Le, you really impress me! It has never urred to me that you actually perfectly master such an


    incredible skill to save Eloise Bailey. Your merit shall be noted by the Institute.” Dean Hart nodded,


    satisfied with Le.


    Meanwhile, it still took some time for Eloise Bailey to recover. Out of the concern about her physical


    condition, Dean Hart decided to move all medical equipment to the restroom and settled Eloise Bailey


    here.


    Afterplimenting Le, she left.


    Soon, Le was surrounded by her colleagues.


    “Le, you’re so amazing! That’s Escape, the most challenging skill in the world!”


    “Hey, Le is the student of Professor Hawkins. A great teacher produces the most outstanding


    student. So impressive!”


    “Le, you’re such an angel!”


    “Dean Hart will definitely mark down your merit! You’re gonna be promising!”


    Being the focus of all again, Le couldn’t help getting thrilled.


    She felt like getting the greatest fortune in the world.


    ‘Jessica, that’s not my fault. It’s just because you are being too stupid.’ Le thought to herself.


    Meanwhile, Jessica was walking over.


    Actually, she was leaving for help just now. After all, she felt uneasy if she left that olddy alone in the


    restroom. When seeing that the room was stuffed with her colleagues, she walked over to see what


    happened.


    “Jessica, I save Eloise Bailey!” Le hurried to utter proudly before Jessica could ask.


    Hearing that, Jessica was stunned.


    How came it turned out that it was Le who saved Eloise Bailey when she returned again?


    “Oh, really? Why don’t you tell me how you did it?” but at a second thought, Eloise Bailey must have


    been carefully tended since it was known to all, Jessica supposed.


    She breathed out a sigh of relief.


    Hearing Le bragging about herself shamelessly, Jessica couldn’t helpughing.


    “Hey, Jessica, stop being jealous. You gotta finish your middle school first before you grow jealousy of


    Le.”


    “You know what? Le has mastered Escape. Oh, sorry, I don’t think you’re brilliant enough to figure


    out what it is.”


    “Hey, don’t be so mean to Jessica. At least we work together. Hey, but there is no doubt that you still


    got so much to learn.”


    Those colleagues started echoing disdainfully.


    “Listen, the skill we are talking about is the trickiest skill in the medical world. Thus, it requires special


    set of needles.”


    “Those needles are all made of gold mixed with jade. They are highly flexible and almost impossible to


    be handled. Even the most sophisticated medical expert will find it challenging to perfectly perform


    such a skill.”


    “But now Le has perfectly grasped it. What a genius!”


    “Exactly speaking, Escape has been once noted from the ancient time. It was said that it could revive a


    dying person if used appropriately by a veteran doctor. It’s literally the miracle itself!”


    “Le, you must be the greatest talent in the medical world.”


    Surrounded by ttery, Le looked at Jessicacently, expecting to see her upset face.


    However, the fact appeared much different from what she wished.


    “Le, you are so funny!” Jessica burst intoughter.


    Meanwhile, everyone around replied with a weird look.


    How shameless! What were sheughing at?


    “Jessica, are you driven crazy because of jealousy? What are youughing at?” Le felt a bang of


    panic when seeing herughter. But still, she feignedposure.


    Jessica cleared her voice and continued, “Sorry, I just can’t help it. Le, what a genius! I truly wanna


    cheer for you.” Jessica couldn’t hold back herughter until quite a whileter.


    Burning with anger, Le felt like tearing her apart.


    She expected to make it a heavy blow to Jessica. However, Jessica actually responded withughter.


    Hatred was burning in Le’s heart.


    She deemed herself the real genius! However, Jessica always outweighed her.


    She could never sit by and swallow it when Jessica was mounting on her.


    “Jessica, what’s wrong with you? You must be jealous of Le!” some of them questioned.


    “Whatever. Sorry, I got something else to do. I am too busy to listen to your story. It sounds wonderful.


    But…the storyteller is making me annoyed because of her shamelessness. Enjoy your talk show. I


    gotta go.” After that, Jessica turned around to leave.


    She was gonna walk away like that?


    Le couldn’t help trembling out of anger.


    However, Jessica was too strong to be defeated.


    Even Le herself started wondering if she should give up on fighting her.


    “Le, don’t you think Jessica looks weird just now? What did she mean by saying that?”


    “Come on, forget about it. She was just being jealous. Perhaps she didn’t even hear about the name of


    Escape. I am sure she will still find it confusing even if we exin it to her.”


    “Le, just let it go. She is jealous of your talent. Hey, we are all waiting for your good news.”


    Theirpliments soon eased her anger.


    Smiling, Le started conspiring again.


    …


    Inside the pharmacy.


    “Oh Jessica, you are here! I got a breaking news!” after looking for Jessica for a couple of minutes,


    Summer was getting anxious. When she was about to leave the pharmacy to keep on searching for


    her, Jessica appeared unexpectedly.


    “What happened?” Jessica looked confused.


    “What? You don’t know yet? Le has saved Eloise Bailey from the edge of death with the skill named


    Escape! Can you believe that?” Summer eximed with trembling voice.


    “Yeah, I know it.” Composed still, Jessica kept working on her own.


    “Oh my God, Jessica, how can you stayposed after hearing such a breaking news? Le, I mean


    she has mastered Escape!” the shock still lingered in Summer’s mind. She appeared extremely


    agitated and stunned.


    Meanwhile, she had repeated the name of Escape for many times.


    “Okay, Summer, I said I knew it…” Jessica was getting a bit annoyed.


    “But…don’t you think it’s shocking? It doesn’t make sense! Le has made it! Dean Hart promised that


    Le’s merit would be made public for reward. Some media have got the news. It has gone viral! A


    group of journalists are crowding in to do an interview with Le.”


    “What’s more, considerable sum of payment is awaiting Le in order to employ her.”


    “Okay.” Still, Jessica was working on experiment. She didn’t even capture what Summer was saying.


    “Howe Le bes such a genius? Even my grandpa…hmmm…I mean Mr. Harris is still


    practicing this skill.” Summer was walking back and forth inside the room.


    However, Jessica simply ignored it while Summer was venting out the sense of shock.


    Just like she said, Le was bing famous even though the press conference to award her was still

    yet to be held.


    Jessica kept working till midnight. Finally, she managed to extract the essence of ink lotus—a vial of


    dark blue liquid, which seemed deadly attractive.


    Undoubtedly, it could be deadly as well.


    She took a deep breath. Then she got a drop from it. Before she was about to put the drop into her


    mouth, someone grabbed her hand to stop her.
