Chapter 53

Simon was floored for a sec but then thought, no way this could be the legendary big shot, Brent Jenkins.

Brent was a giant in the medical world.Snagging an appointment was like winning the lottery, and his lectures were always jam-packed. Some students even brought their own chairs to his classes. How the heck could Katniss know such a big shot?

Maybe the news about him personally coming to proctor the exam was bogus. Someone of his caliber wouldn't have the time to come and proctor an exam.

Brent nodded warmly and said, "You must be Katniss. You're the only candidate today, so don't sweat it. Just do your best."

Standing at a distance, Simon was floored again.
