Chapter 290
When Joaquin saw that, he grabbed Katherine and pulled her behind him, stepping in front of her as he
assumed the position of a guardian. His gaze was cold, and his expression was firm.
"Don''t you darey a finger on her!" he said in a low voice. His tone was so cold and dark that it
sounded like it hade from Hades himself. Everyone present was stunned for a moment.
When the security guards saw that, they paused as well.
Just then, Keith''s doctor came to his senses and roared immediately, "What are you zoning out for?!
He''s just one person. Even if you have to fight, how can he be a match for you? Get to it already!"
Hearing that, the security guards hastily produced the electric batons they carried at their sides, then
resumed their strides.
Joaquin''s expression darkened as he clenched his fists, preparing to attack at any moment.
Meanwhile, Katherine''s expression had darkened considerably.
She never expected the corruption in Kynd to have progressed this far; even the best hospital in
Kynd could operate like some mafia and pull off something so outrageous.
At that moment, she made preparations for the worst and turned to look at the trembling Tyler. She said
in a low voice, "Please stand back. You might get hurtter."
With that, she was about to step forward, and everything was about to explode when Marcus'' voice
suddenly sounded from the door.
"What are you doing?! Stop this at once!" he yelled in anger as he barged in with his men. In the blink
of an eye, the security guards were defeated, and theyy here and there on the floor as they groaned
in pain.
The doctors were astonished at the scene, and even the dean was incredibly shocked. He stared at the
men on the ground, stunned, then looked up at Marcus with eyes so wide that they were bulging.
"M-Mr. Town!"
At once, he let out a surprised yelp and hastily went forward, intending to shake hands with Marcus and
greet thetter. His attitude quickly shifted as he tried to suck up to the man.
However, Marcus ignored him. He simply side-eyed the dean coldly, then turned to look at Katherine.
In that instant, Marcus changed his attitude in front of everyone and immediately put on a respectful
expression.
"Are you alright, Miss Cornell? My apologies. I rushed over as soon as I received your call, but I was
stillte. I''m so sorry that you had to experience that."
By then, Katherine had already rxed her fists. She looked calm as she talked to him in a rtively
polite tone.
"No, you''re notte. If you hade mere momentster, you''d be carrying them out by then."
She spoke arrogantly, but Marcus wasn''t the least bit upset when he heard that. Instead, he let out a
long sigh.
"That''s good to know. On my way here, I was worried that you would get hurt, and I was so anxious
about it. I''m d to see you in one piece. I heard that your brother—"
At that, he paused for a bit, his expression turning grave.
"How did he suddenly contract the man-faced curse and cannot be saved? What is going on?"
As soon as he said that, Katherine let out a snort as she passed a gaze over the dumbfounded doctors.
"You should ask these gentlemen here. None of them can cure the illness, but instead of researching
the problem, they hid here and held a meeting. They were probably discussing ways to shirk
responsibility in case my brother couldn''t make it."
After hearing that, Marcus immediately frowned and turned to look at the people, questioning sternly,
"Is that so?"
When they heard that, the doctors, who were still in shock just now, instantly froze as they began to
panic.
At first, they didn''t think anything seemed odd when Marcus first appeared.
But when they saw how Marcus treated Katherine, they got confused, then started to panic.
They knew very well who Marcus was. He was the leader of the Department of State, and his position
was exceptionally prominent.
However, he treated this woman with such respect, so who exactly was this woman?
Now that Marcus was interrogating them like that, they finally felt afraid. They gradually realized that
they had messed with the wrong person.
By then, the dean was sweating buckets as his legs trembled uncontrobly. He could only grit his
teeth and exin, "Mr. Town, it''s a misunderstanding. It wasn''t like that, we… were also very
concerned about Mr. Cornell''s condition, so we held a meeting to discuss how we could treat—"
"Hah, you don''t even know the details of the illness, but you were discussing how to treat it, you say?
Do you think you can just fool everyone like that?" Katherine sneered as she interrupted him.
Then, as she turned to Marcus, there was a certain dignity and aura in her eyes that far surpassed
what someone of her age should possess.
"Mr. Town, I''ve met many higher-ups of authoritative hospitals. Many of them are serious and
responsible, but some of them are tricksters as well. However, this is my first time seeing this side of
the most authoritative hospital in Kynd. They were irresponsible, but more importantly, they acted
like gangsters and tyrants. Hah, what a surprise! If the people of Kynd have to rely on these doctors
to save their lives, does Kynd even have a future?"
Her words were simple, but when Marcus heard them, he immediately understood what she was
getting at.
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
At once, his expression darkened as he turned to look at the dean.
"Mr. Richards, is this how you run Kynd Hospital after it was entrusted to you?"
When Mr. Richards heard that, he trembled like a leaf in the wind. He finally realized that he had
committed a huge mistake, and he didn''t even dare defend himself as he hastily admitted, "Mr. Town,
I… It''s my fault. I''ll apologize to Miss Cornell right away!"
With that, he hastily took two shaky steps forward. He bowed to Katherine as he kept repeating his
apologies.
"Miss Cornell, I''m sorry for not realizing who you are. I was foolish for going against you. Please have
mercy and let me off this once. I… I''ll open the ward so you can meet your brother right away. I''m so
sorry, please forgive me…"
Katherine had no time for his nonsense. She didn''t even spare him a look as she said to Marcus, "I''m
leaving this to you." With that, she turned around and left.
Joaquin followed right after her. When Tyler saw that, he also recovered from his shock as he hastily
went after them.
Marcus narrowed his eyes, then nced around at the others. Without another word, he took out his
phone and made a call.
"Fire the dean and all the authoritative doctors at Kynd Hospital. They have no medical ethics, so
revoke their medical licenses as well. From today onward, none of them are allowed inside Kynd,
and neither are they allowed to stay in the medical field! Transfer a group of experienced doctors here,
then appoint the vice dean of Kynd Third Hospital as the new dean here. Get it done as soon as
possible."
Kynd Third Hospital was a military hospital belonging to the strongest troop in Kynd. If the vice
dean was transferred here to manage Kynd Hospital, they should be able to clear out all the
corruption here.
However, all this had nothing to do with these doctors anymore.
When they heard of their punishment, their faces turned ashen, and the dean even fainted on the spot
—no one knew if it was out of fear or shock.
Meanwhile, Marcus simply nced at them and snorted. "If you had known things would turn out like
this, you wouldn''t have done it!"
With that, he ordered his subordinates, "Keep an eye on these people and make sure that they hand
over their work as soon as possible. Chase them out right after they''re done. They have to leave
Kynd within one day, or they will be forced to!"
