The Miracle Doctor: Call Me Savior

Zachary had found out the cause of Lauren's illness when he was treating her. It was an extremely rare type of heart disease, called the "Seven-apertured Disease".

This meant that Lauren had seven little holes in her heart.

In Western medicine, this kind of heart disease was known as a congenital septal defect. Under normal circumstances, it could be repaired through surgery or replaced by prosthetics.

As for the seven-apertured disease, the operation could not be performed at all because the defects of the heart were too much. Also, there were no prosthetics available for this disease. It could be said that a patient with this disease was destined to die. It was already a miracle that Lauren could survive until now.

Even Harrison Ching, who used to be the Herbal King, had only seen such case once. A prince of the royal family had this disease and it took Harrison a lot of effort to cure him.

Harrison was already the "Herbal King" at that time. Zachary was nothing as compared to Harrison.

Zachary had achieved the energy acupuncture, which was already considered admirable in modern Chinese medicine. However, he had to achieve at least the spiritual acupuncture in order to treat the seven-apertured disease. Moreover, not every needle could be used for spiritual acupuncture. Five elements were involved in Chinese medicine. The hot and cold elements, Yin and Yang had to be taken into consideration. The needles used in acupuncture were also divided into five elements. The top five needles were known as the Five Magic Needles, which included Goldie-silver needle, Pine Needle, Blue Ice Needle, Flame Needle, and Ore Needle. Pine Needle was needed in the treatment of seven- apertured disease.

Harrison poured in tremendous effort in collecting the Five Magic Needles. Now, it would be even more difficult to find the Pine Needle.

The herbs required for treatment, such as Ganoderma, Frozen Pearl, and so on, were all precious herbs. Many Chinese physicians nowadays had never even heard of them.

Therefore, it was almost impossible to cure seven-apertured disease.

However, looking at the woman in his arms, Zachary was determined to cure her.

After snuggling in his arms for a while, Lauren calmed down gradually. She resumed her charming and seductive look, smiling, "Zach, you have taken advantage of me today. You can't betray me in the future!"

She sounded as if Zachary had done something unspeakable to her. He smiled wryly, thinking that Lauren was definitely charming but dangerous.

"Sister Lim, I'll cure you. Please don't overthink it and don't give up. Have a good rest. I'll leave now," Zachary said solemnly.

"You should come here more often!" Lauren, who was lying on the bed, grinned.

Zachary felt the heat rising in his heart. He left immediately and closed the bedroom door.

Just as he was about to open the door to leave, someone knocked on the door.

Zachary was startled. Then, he opened the door and asked, "Hello, what's..."

The person outside the door bellowed in anger before Zachary could finish his words, "Who are you? Why are you here at Lauren's house? What's your relationship with her?"

Zachary saw a man in his late 20s. He was wearing a suit with shiny combed-back hair and a strong perfume scent emanated from him. He was holding a large bunch of blue roses in his arms.

His tone made Zachary frown, "I am Sister Lim's friend. Who are you?"

"I'm Leslie Chao!" The man glanced at Zachary in disdain when he saw how Zachary dressed himself. Then, he rushed into the house and shouted out loudly, "Lauren! I'm Leslie! Let's go to La Belle Hotel for dinner later in the evening. It's a five- star hotel. It's not easy for me to book a table on the top floor."

"Sister Lim is resting. Please go back now," Zachary stopped Leslie.

"Who do you think you are! Get out of my way!" Leslie pushed Zachary away impatiently. He wanted to rush straight into Lauren's room.

Zachary glared at him and exerted force. Leslie seemed to be pushed against an immovable wall. He bounced back a few steps and nearly fell down.

"How dare you! I..." Leslie glared at Zachary, ready to strike.

The room door was gently opened. Lauren, who was wearing a nightgown, walked out gracefully.

Leslie put on a flattering smile when he saw Lauren. He held the flowers in his hand and was about to approach her. "Lauren, these are 99 blue roses. I selected each of them carefully. They're a perfect match for your beauty. Tonight..." Lauren frowned slightly, "Dr. Chao, thank you for your kindness. But, I'm not feeling very comfortable today."

"Lauren, I specially booked a table at La Belle Hotel for you. There..." Leslie refused to give up.

"I'm tired. I don't want to go," Lauren's tone grew stiff.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Leslie didn't expect her to reject him without hesitation. His face darkened instantly. He pointed to Zachary and said, "Is it because of this poor boy?"

"Leslie, Zach is my friend. Please mind what you say," Lauren lowered her voice and said sternly.

Leslie was agitated by Lauren calling Zachary in such an intimate way. He noticed Lauren's messy hair and the lipstick mark on the corner of Zachary's mouth.

Anger welled up within his chest. He had tried to win over Lauren's heart for a long time but to no avail. But this unknown guy had slept with Lauren.

Leslie sneered, "Friend? Isn't he just a f**k buddy?"

Lauren said sharply, "Leslie Chao, apologize immediately."

Leslie threw the blue roses on the ground and yelled, "Lauren, I think too highly of you. You look like a goddess, but you're just a sl*t. And you have such bad taste. It's such a joke to hook up with a poor teenager." "Slap!"

Lauren didn't expect him to be so vulgar. She was so furious that she wanted to slap him, but her hand was blocked by Leslie's hand. Leslie continued, "What's wrong? Why don't you admit it? Doing such disgraceful stuff at home in broad daylight! You will definitely lose your job in the TV station if this spreads out."

"Zach is my boyfriend. What we do is none of your business. Leslie, who do you think you are?" Lauren mocked.

Thinking of the intimate moment between Lauren and the poor teenager in front of him, Leslie grew even more furious. He cursed angrily, "B*tch! I'll go to the TV station to expose..." "Slap!"

He was slapped mercilessly before he could finish his words. He didn't even know who slapped him. His face was swollen immediately.

"How dare you slap me! I..." Leslie cursed.

Another slap landed on the other side of his face, causing it to swell up too.

"I'm going to kill you! You..." Leslie rushed towards Zachary madly while cursing.

Zachary glanced at him coldly and kicked him hard. He fell onto the corridor floor and fainted after sliding for a long distance.

"Is he okay?" Lauren asked, a little concerned.

"Yes, I know my limits. Please have a good rest and give me a call if he troubles you again," Zachary said with a smile.

He carried Leslie away after Lauren locked her door. He went downstairs and threw Leslie into a huge plastic trash can at the roadside. After that, he clapped his hands and left.
