Reborn to Burn Them All novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140

Ethan’s eyes widened as he stared at the flood of online news about Zachary. His hands trembled on the keyboard as a sinking feeling washed ove something bad was coming.

He muttered, “Damn it, which backstabber did this? Am I gonna take the fall for this?” He immediately called his boss and reported, “Boss, something wrong. Oh, you already know.”

Ethan stammered, “What do we do now? We

Veren’t the ones who sent out that news. Will the Dawson family…”

After hearing his boss’s response, Ethan instantly straightened up, his eyes sparkling with unconcealed delight. He said, “You’re the best. I’ll go tell the informant the good news right away.”

After hanging up, he immediately logged into his account, JuicyNewsHere, to message Sophia.

Sophia was staring at the overwhelming flood of online news when a chat window suddenly popped up in the lower right corner.

JuicyNewsHere said: [Great news! We’re not alone in going after Zachary. There are others after him, too! My boss says we just need to keep an eye on the online buzz.]

Sophia rolled her eyes in disdain and simply closed the window without bothering to reply.

The moment the news about Zachary broke, netizens erupted in heated discussion.

One said: [Zachary? You mean the genius doctor? That’s unbelievable. He dated his patient.]

Someone said: [Seriously? Dating a patient is a blatant violation of medical ethics. And a doctor like that still gets hired by Grace Hospital with a fat paycheck?]

Another said: [All this happened overseas, yet not a single whisper made it back home. How suspicious is that?]

One said: [Why is this surprising? Don’t forget what family Zachary comes from.]

A person said: [Grace Hospital was making a big fuss about Zachary’s recruitment just recently, yet who would’ve thought a scandal would break out so soon?]

One said: [Who knows if this is even true? Maybe some powerful people are just trying to take him down.]

Someone said: [Seriously? Zachary is from the Dawson family. Who’d dare mess with him? This is probably legit.]

Another one said: [Why isn’t anyone getting to the point? Zachary violated medical ethics by dating his patient, which led to the patient’s suicide.

[Then he had a bounty placed on him. He didn’t come back to Clusia in glory. He fled back just to save his skin.]

One said: [In a nutshell: Zachary fled back to Clusia after causing trouble overseas, only to be treated like a prized catch by Grace Hospital.]

Some netizens bypassed the firewall and dug around on foreign sites, actually uncovering some solid evidence. There was a news article overseas using Zachary’s coldname, along with his photo. With that, the rumors were confirmed.

Netizens launched a massive online boycott against Zachary and Grace Hospital. But it didn’t make any real difference. After all, Grace Hospital was a premium private hospital for the wealthy elite, way out of reach for ordinary people.

Ordinary netizens could only vent their frustration online. There wasn’t much else they could do.

At the dean’s office in Grace Hospital, the dean, Alex, demanded, “Zachary, what exactly is going on?”

Chapter 140

Alex was a gaunt old man in his early sixties, stooped and dressed simply. There was nothing about him that would sugest ha Hospital.

Alex fixed Zachary with a piercing stare and said, “Before, there were people who wrote anonymous complaint letters. I asked you about it Wha say? And now, what’s this all about?”

Zachary lowered his gaze slightly, the calculating glint in his eyes hidden behind his glasses. He said, “Mr. Reed, I’ll explain everything to you în dua tem but right now, our priority should be to reassure the patients.”

Alex gave Zachary a long, complicated look, then nodded. He said, “You may go for now.”

Zachary nodded, his expression as calm and gentle as ever, showing no trace of panic. But the moment he stepped out of the dean’s office and raised his eyes, that warmth vanished instantly, replaced by a bone–chilling coldness.

He pulled out his phone and made a call. His voice dropped to a chilling whisper as he ordered, “Find out who leaked this information.”

The person on the other end asked, “Should we suppress the news?”

Zachary’s lips curled into a cold smirk and said, “No need. Since it’s already out, suppressing it would only backfire. Silencing tactics wouldn’t work here.” After hanging up, his expression instantly smoothed back into its usual gentle politeness.

Patients who had come specifically for Zachary were on edge after seeing the news online. However, Zachary’s calm and approachable manner, along with his promise to provide a proper explanation later, temporarily put their minds at ease.

Yvette, who was in the middle of a flirty moment with Asher, saw the news online, and her eyes lit up with excitement. She quickly grabbed her things and hurried to Grace Hospital.

Yvette rushed over to Zachary’s office. Her eyes brimmed with deep concern as she asked, “Dr. Dawson, are you alright? Did any of the patients give you any trouble?”

Zachary wasn’t the least bit surprised to see Yvette. With a gentle, almost tender smile, he reached up to smooth the hair at her temple that had gotten mussed from her hurried run.

He said, “Why did you rush over like that? You’re all sweaty. Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

Taking a tissue, he gently dabbed away her sweat.

As Zachary approached, his distinctive scent enveloped Yvette, making her heart pound and her cheeks flush shyly. She said, “I’m just so glad you’re okay. I was worried sick when I saw the news online.”
