Contract Marriage: My Sweet Bossy Wife novel Chapter 149

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

Hearing the compliment from others, Leila was thrilled.

Now everyone deemed that it was Leila who saved that old lady.

Actually, Leila wanted to tell the truth at the very beginning. However, it had been so long since she enjoyed being the focus of all last time.

Because of that, she decided to steal the merit.

“Jesus, guys, did you see an old lady? 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.” Leila soon noticed what was happening.

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

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

“The needle.” As Leila 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 Leila, “Leila, 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 Leila 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.

Leila still remained composed. 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.” Leila smiled proudly.

“Leila, you really impress me! It has never occurred 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 Leila.

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.

After complimenting Leila, she left.

Soon, Leila was surrounded by her colleagues.

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

“Hey, Leila is the student of Professor Hawkins. A great teacher produces the most outstanding student. So impressive!”

“Leila, you’re such an angel!”

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

Being the focus of all again, Leila 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.’ Leila 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 old lady 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!” Leila hurried to utter proudly before Jessica could ask.

Hearing that, Jessica was stunned.

How came it turned out that it was Leila 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 Leila bragging about herself shamelessly, Jessica couldn’t help laughing.

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

“You know what? Leila 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.”

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

Their compliments soon eased her anger.

Smiling, Leila 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? Leila has saved Eloise Bailey from the edge of death with the skill named Escape! Can you believe that?” Summer exclaimed with trembling voice.

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

“Oh my God, Jessica, how can you stay composed after hearing such a breaking news? Leila, 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! Leila has made it! Dean Hart promised that Leila’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 Leila.”

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

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

“How come Leila becomes 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, Leila was becoming 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.
