Chapter 100

The tone sounded genuinely sincere.

Katniss raised an eyebrow, her face cool and indifferent. "Thanks for your concern," she said.

Then she went back to her book, her hair softly framing her face, showing off just half of her beautiful features. Her forehead was smooth and flawless, making her look effortlessly attractive.

Nova gave a light smile. "You're welcome," she said, then turned her attention elsewhere.

Word on the street was that Katniss got into Brent's program without even finishing the exam. She only did half of it. No one could figure out what made her so special that Brent, known for being strict, would bend the rules for her. Soon, they pulled up to the hospital.

A doctor in a white coat was waiting at the entrance, scanning the area. When he saw the familiar car, he walked over right away.

Brent found a parking spot, got out, and shook hands with the doctor. He quickly introduced Katniss and the others before leading them to the back of the hospital.

Hospitals are places where the fragility of life is starkly apparent, and where the best and worst of humanity are laid bare.

They walked through a corridor and out a door into a big open-air plaza. There were rows of tables, each with a doctor's name on it.

Since this was a free clinic, there were already long lines at each table by the time they got there.

"Professor Jenkins, this is your spot. If you need anything, just have someone find me. I'll be in the office," the doctor said warmly, leaving his contact info.

Brent waved him off, quickly put on a white coat, sat down, and glanced at Cecil.

Cecil got the hint and carefully put away the contact info.

Katniss looked around. Brent was famous, and the line in front of him was way longer than the others. There had to be at least a hundred people.
