Chapter 101

Not too far off, as soon as Nova finished talking, a bunch of questioning and angry eyes turned to Katniss.

Nova walked over, looking all serious, pulled Katniss behind her, and took off her mask. She had this beautiful, apologetic face and bowed a bit, saying softly, "Sorry for butting in. I'm Nova Ramirez, Brent Jenkins' student. This is Katniss, a sophomore who doesn't have the experience for consultations yet."

"I apologize for her jumping the gun. To make up for it, I'll offer ten free consultations." Nova then turned to Dean and said, "Professor Palmer, Katniss caused some trouble. It's on me for not keeping an eye on her." The crowd got noisy, pointing fingers at Katniss.

Someone yelled, "She hasn't even finished school and thinks she can consult patients? Treating us like guinea pigs?"

"Just wants to show off, talking about poisoning and scaring us. The medical school should kick out such irresponsible students. They don't deserve to be doctors. Nova, as Brent's student, really has the ethics and skills. She's a future star in our healthcare," another chimed in.

Hearing the praise, Nova brushed her hair back and smiled confidently, "Anyone who wants a consultation from me, come this way."

A few patients looked around, dropped Dean's number cards, and walked towards Nova.

Nora was Brent's student. Brent was a top-notch doctor. So, Brent's student must be pretty good too.

Katniss raised her chin a bit, her eyes narrowed, and she let out a mocking laugh.

She casually picked up a bottle of water nearby and threw it at Nova's feet with a bang, blocking her path. "Hold up, did I say you could leave?"

Nova's eyes filled with anger as she stared at Katniss, "Katniss, what's your deal? This is a free clinic, not a place for your tantrums."
