After her rebirth

Katniss's heart skipped a beat, feeling slightly relieved, "As long as he's not dead."

She had heard of some of Conrad's notorious deeds, ruthless in his actions. She feared he might kill to silence.

Now it was just a beating, which was acceptable.

Then she asked, "No one saw you, right?"

If Simon had seen it and recognized Conrad, the Manners family wouldn't let it go. She would have to send Conrad away to lay low.

Conrad glanced at the rearview mirror; Katniss wasn't angry!

So Conrad immediately patted his chest proudly, "Don't worry, I was quick. Hit and ran, Simon didn't even have time to call out, no one noticed!"

He remembered Katniss had said not to hit people casually, it was illegal.

He went secretly, worried Katniss would be angry, but he couldn't stand Simon bullying Katniss.

He thought of asking Maximilian, but Jesse answered the phone.

After hearing him out, Jesse gave him some advice, "Protect Mrs. Hamilton's safety. Whoever threatens Mrs. Hamilton's safety, deal with them, and Mrs. Hamilton will be safe, right?"

Conrad thought it made a lot of sense!

No wonder they said Jesse was smart, bookish people really had good brains.

That's when Conrad put a sack over Simon.

With a shift in her gaze, Katniss warned Conrad, "No more next time, okay? We're law- abiding citizens, we can't do such things."

Conrad repeatedly promised, "Next time I'll get your permission before taking action!"

Katniss held her forehead, was that what she meant?

Looking out the window, Katniss's eyes flickered with emotion.

No matter how serious it was, the Manners family would make a fuss.

Katniss curled her lips into a light smile. wondering what the scene was like at that moment.

Back at Golden Crest Estates, Maximilian had already returned at some point.

He was sitting in the living room, in front of him was a rehabilitation trainer Carlton had hired from abroad at great expense.

At this moment, Maximilian's face was cold, sitting on the sofa with a noble posture.

He was discussing follow-up rehabilitation methods with the trainer.

Katniss walked in cheerfully, saw this scene, blinked, and sensibly retreated.

Maximilian lifted his gaze, saw it was her, and his usually cold eyes softened, "Come here."

Katniss shrank her neck, suddenly feeling guilty, like a child about to be scolded by a parent.

She swallowed and moved over.

Then she heard Maximilian's calm voice say a sentence.

"What are you hiding for?"

Already feeling guilty, Katniss straightened up unconsciously and stammered, "I was just worried about disturbing you."

Maximilian glanced at her, then retracted his gaze, introducing, "This rehabilitation trainer was hired by Grandpa."

Upon hearing this, Katniss's mind instantly clicked.

Hired by Samuel, so he was Samuel's man.

If she acted unfamiliar with Maximilian, Samuel would definitely find out.

Understanding this, a bright smile appeared on Katniss's lips.

She walked over, sat beside Maximilian, and naturally linked her arm with his, "Grandpa

hired him, huh? I came back late, you didn't even call to tell me."

Maximilian felt Katniss's soft hand, his gaze flickered over her small hand, his eyes deepening.

Katniss started conversing with the rehabilitation trainer.

Katniss was poised and graceful, yet carried the innocence and playfulness of a girl her age.

The trainer's eyes gradually filled with admiration.

Then Katniss continued to talk about Maximilian's physical condition and offered some of her own suggestions.

This would help Maximilian stand up to the greatest extent.

After hearing her, the trainer couldn't help but applaud, "Mrs. Hamilton, you really understand pharmacology. What you just said is even more effective than our treatment methods."

"Rest assured, I will do my best to treat Mr. Hamilton."

Time was almost up, and the trainer had thoroughly understood Maximilian's condition.

Before leaving, he scheduled four rehabilitation sessions a week, each lasting an hour, starting at 5 AM.

Hearing this time, Katniss frowned slightly. Maximilian already had trouble sleeping, getting up at 5 AM was too early.

She tugged on Maximilian's arm, wanting to suggest changing the time, but then thought better of it.

Maximilian sensed Katniss's hesitation, lowered his gaze, and locked his eyes on her face, "Do you have something to say?"

Katniss blinked and simply said it.

Maximilian's eyes deepened, his voice low and husky, "Lately, I've been sleeping well, and for longer."

Thanks to her being his human pillow.

Hearing this, Katniss's worries disappeared, and she patted her chest, promising to

come up with more beneficial medicinal meals for his recovery.

Maximilian chuckled, raising a hand to ruffle Katniss's hair.

"Alright."

Katniss's heart fluttered slightly.

She bit her lip, took a step back somewhat awkwardly, "Maximilian, I'll go to the

kitchen to prepare tonight's medicinal meal."

With that, she turned and ran to the kitchen.

Maximilian stood there, his gaze following her into the kitchen, only retracting after a few seconds.

His clean fingertips slowly brushed his sleeve, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this

book for free. Don't miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey!

Katniss seemed to have grown up.

Katniss patted her face, trying to calm herself down.noveldrama

When she looked up, she saw Conrad squeezing next to Mira, munching on a beef pie.

His tall frame made the busy Mira beside him look even smaller.

He ate with a silly, adorable expression.

Conrad immediately saw her and brought the beef pie over like a treasure.

"Mrs. Hamilton, you have to try this. Does Mira have some secret recipe?"

He took another bite and laughed, "Mira's cooking is getting better and better, I can't stop eating."

Mira walked over, took his plate, and slapped his hand, "You, this was specially prepared for Mrs. Hamilton. She uses her brain a lot at school, it's the hardest for her."

"You almost finished it. There's freshly made fried chicken over there, isn't that your favorite?"

"The beef pie is for Mrs. Hamilton."

Hearing there was fried chicken, Conrad didn't mind the beef pie anymore and happily

went over.

Katniss chuckled, secretly giving the beef pie to him behind Mira's back.

Conrad had done something big today, though she didn't quite agree with the sack method, she couldn't deny it vented her anger.

He needed to replenish his strength.

After giving the beef pie to Conrad, Katniss started preparing the medicinal meal for Maximilian.

This time, the recipe was a sudden inspiration, with better taste and efficacy than before.

Importantly, the preparation was simpler, saving a lot of time.

The saved time, Katniss thought, could be used to assist Maximilian with his rehabilitation training.

Just as Katniss finished the medicinal meal and was about to bring it out, her phone suddenly vibrated.

Katniss picked it up, her pupils shrinking, and her bright eyes turning cold.
