After her rebirth

Katniss slept soundly at night. The next morning, she groggily felt Maximilian getting up. She turned over, hugged the blanket, and continued to sleep.

She was woken up by Mira.

Maximilian had already finished his rehabilitation training and gone to the company.

She had breakfast alone, and then Conrad drove her to school.

As soon as she got out of the car and before reaching the medical department, she saw Clara and Ruby walking on a small path.

The two were holding hands, chatting and laughing like close sisters.

Katniss noticed that Ruby was carrying a new camera.

She clicked her tongue, withdrew her gaze, and continued walking forward.

However, Ruby saw her at that moment. She immediately tugged Clara's arm and pointed her chin at Katniss's back.

"Ugh, what bad luck to see her here. Such a bad omen in the morning," Ruby said angrily.

"Ruby, don't say that. Katniss, she's just gotten a bit more temperamental after marrying that old man," Clara sighed faintly. "Suddenly having so much money, it's normal for her to be a bit willful."

Clara had never told Ruby that Katniss's "old man" was actually Maximilian.

So Ruby still believed that the old man in the photo she had taken was Katniss's "sugar daddy."

Now, hearing this, Ruby said disdainfully, "Even if that kind of money was given to me, I'd find it dirty. Katniss is so shameless!"

She looked at Clara with pity, "Clara, after all she's done to you, you shouldn't speak for her."

"Your kindness should be reserved for those who deserve it. Katniss doesn't!"

"I know, but we grew up together. She's always hated me for taking away our parents' and brothers' love."

"It's my fault. If she wants to take revenge on me, let her."

Ruby became even angrier. She grabbed Clara's hand and comforted her, "Clara, don't

worry. I'll make sure to get back at her for you."

"I won't let anyone bully you."

"Ruby."

Clara's eyes reddened instantly, her voice trembling, "You're so good to me."

"Clara, we're best friends. If I don't help you, who will?"

Ruby couldn't help but touch her face.

Actually, the green on her face hadn't completely faded.

Ruby had planned to wait a few more days before coming to school, but knowing Clara was already here, she applied a lot of makeup and wore a mask to come with Clara.

Clenching her fingers into her palm, a trace of resentment flashed in Ruby's eyes. If it weren't for Katniss messing up her face, she wouldn't have been so humiliated. Her ugly photos were still circulating widely on the forum. Once she entered the classroom, she would inevitably be discussed and ridiculed.

Clara seemed to notice her thoughts and gently patted her arm, her voice soft and comforting, "Ruby, your face looks fine now."

"Don't worry, everyone in school is focused on Katniss treating Caius. No one will remember your incident."

Clara's words only made Ruby more annoyed.

She and Clara had been so humiliated, yet Katniss was getting all the attention.

What was more annoying was that Katniss's spotlight had overshadowed their scandal, diverting everyone's attention.

Otherwise, they didn't know how much longer they would be discussed.

Katniss entered the classroom and was somewhat surprised to see Byron.

She squeezed into the seat next to Daryl, who waved at her as she came in, "Katniss." "Why are you at school today?"

Byron had hardly been to school recently, spending every day at the hospital. Those who didn't know might think his father was ill.

"To supervise you. Come to the hospital with me after school."

"That's unnecessary." Katniss lightly tapped her book on the desk, "I was planning to go this afternoon anyway."

Byron looked around, then fixed his gaze on Katniss, speaking in a low voice, "Dylan came to see Ashley and me yesterday."

Hearing this, Katniss raised an eyebrow, already guessing what Dylan had said.

"He still wants you to stay out of this," Byron continued, "Ashley didn't agree, but you have to understand, we need to make other preparations."

"So you want me and Dylan to treat him together?" Katniss squinted, accurately guessing Byron's thoughts.

Byron spoke openly, "Yes, is that a problem? Everyone's attention is on you two now. If you really have the skills, this is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself."

"Sure, no problem."

Katniss shrugged and smiled brightly. After learning about the Medical Association, she knew Dylan wouldn't give up. Since he didn't mind Ashley making other preparations, she didn't care either.

After school, Byron wanted to drive her to the hospital, but Katniss refused and had Conrad take her instead.

Conrad was supposed to wait downstairs, but he insisted on going with her, worried about her.

Katniss had him wait outside the ward, not wanting his burly figure to look like he was there to fight.

When Katniss entered the room, Ashley was reading a medical book. She glanced at it; it was one that several professors had emphasized.

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!

Seeing her, Ashley immediately put down the book, her gaze shifting from Katniss's face to Caius's, a look of sorrow in her beautiful eyes.

Caius was still in a coma, just like two days ago.

As if he were asleep.

Katniss took out two prescriptions and placed them on the table, "Ashley, buy these

herbs and prepare them as instructed."

"Find a way to feed them to your dad."

Byron picked up the prescriptions before Ashley could. They were filled with herbs he had never heard of or seen.

Judging by the names, they were expensive.

He wasn't worried about spending money but didn't fully trust Katniss yet.noveldrama

"Katniss, are you sure these herbs will work?"

"These are all for strengthening the heart. Caius hasn't woken up because his body is

too weak from lying in a coma for so long."

"Once he finishes these, he'll wake up."

Katniss squinted slightly, staring at Byron, her tone firm, "Then the real treatment begins."

He folded the prescriptions and put them in his pocket.

Katniss smirked, "That's the spirit. If you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use them, don't doubt them."

Ashley said, "Katniss, don't misunderstand. Byron is just very concerned about my dad."

"I understand. I'll follow the instructions. I'll buy these herbs first thing tomorrow morning."

She then extended her hand to Byron, her previously soft voice now resolute, "Give me

the prescriptions."
