Chapter 292

Kenneth and Katie were just small fry… Joseph was a little unimpressed.

It wasn’t that he was confident in his medical skills or thought they were inferior to him. Rather, they had been defeated by the Zahn medical sect. How could they even help him?

“The contest to see who’s the better doctor is pointless. Jenna has simply misunderstood me for now and will come to deeply regret what she’s done.

“At the moment, I don’t have any direct evidence against her. Otherwise, I would’ve reported her to the police.

“I won’t participate in this competition. We shouldn’t gamble with people’s lives,” Joseph said, not offering Kenneth and Katie a handshake.

Kenneth and Katie were taken aback. They had assumed Joseph would suggest they work together to take on Jenna and the Zahn medical sect, but he clearly had no such intention.

Kenneth hurriedly said, “Dr. Hart, we have a common enemy, so it makes sense for us to work together. In fact, we should definitely be allies.

“Over the past few days, I’ve been observing and looking into you, Dr. Hart. We’re impressed with how calmly you’ve handled Jenna and countered her actions.

“But Jenna’s just testing the waters. She still has far more ruthless methods up her sleeve. By then, you won’t be able to handle it, and you’ll be at a disadvantage.”

Katie added, “Many hands make light work! Dr. Hart, if we work together, it’ll be mutually beneficial. It’s a win- win situation.”

Still, Joseph didn’t take the bait. Since Mason had no further instructions, he returned to his department.

Not long after, Katie came looking for him at the department.

Joseph said, “You really are patient and persistent, aren’t you? It’s not that we can’t work together, but how do I know if you’re even capable? Or if you’ll just drag me down?”

Katie scowled. “Are you saying you want to test us?”

“Well, I don’t know you guys at all! You could be enemies of the Zahn medical sect, or even their allies. I’m starting to suspect you’re spies sent by Jenna. That’s why I need to test you.”

“And how are you going to test us?”

“As the saying goes, we should give them a taste of their own medicine. Over the past few days, Jenna’s been going after my former patients.

“Well, that’s exactly what I want you to do. Find someone the Zahn medical sect has treated, and use your own methods to bring them to the brink.

“Make sure you don’t kill them. Let them live so they can go back to Jenna for help.”

“Dr. Hart, you…”

“Are you going soft now? If you can’t even do this, how are you going to take Jenna on? Or are you afraid to work with someone like me?

“In that case, it looks like we don’t even know each other that well. There’s no need to work together. I’ll give you

some time to think about it!”

Joseph gestured for Katie to leave, but she refused to give up and didn’t leave right away. However, he was called away to treat a critically ill patient. She knew he wouldn’t give her any more of his time, so

In the car, Katie told Kenneth what had happened and sighed, saying, “We wanted to use Joseph to take on the Zahns, but we didn’t expect him to turn around and use us instead.

“Joseph’s already laid down the rules. If we can’t do it, we won’t get to approach him again.”
