After her rebirth

Emilio nodded, "Yes, Sir."

Maximilian gave his orders and continued working expressionlessly.

He was busy in the study until late at night. When he returned to the room, Katniss was already asleep.

She had left a warm yellow wall lamp on for Maximilian, its light casting a serene and soft glow on her small face.

Maximilian's gaze lingered for a few seconds. Then, he stood up, his tall figure silently lying down beside her.

Maximilian easily pulled Katniss over, extending his long arm to encircle her completely.

In her drowsiness, Katniss felt a sense of peace and instinctively curled up closer.

Maximilian's lips gradually curved up, clearly pleased by her action.

They slept soundly through the night.

When Katniss woke up, Maximilian was already up.

She touched the spot beside her, still warm, and her eyes brightened.

She hadn't imagined it last night.

Maximilian had held her as they slept.

How come she, a human pillow, seemed more effective than the medicinal meals she had carefully prepared?

After washing up, Katniss put the preliminary treatment plan she had devised for Caius's condition into her bag and went downstairs.

Downstairs, Maximilian had already finished breakfast and was doing his rehabilitation exercises.

In the morning light, his features were deep-set, and his movements were slightly better than before, making him irresistibly handsome.

At this rate, Maximilian would soon be able to stand up completely!

Would her task be completed then?

Katniss patted her cheeks, stopped overthinking, and turned to enter the dining room.

She finished her breakfast just as Maximilian completed his rehabilitation exercises. He went upstairs to change into a dark suit and then drove Katniss to school.

Only then did he head to the company.

When Katniss arrived at the medical school, she saw Cecilia and Daryl gathered together.

As soon as she appeared, Cecilia exclaimed and stood up.

"Katniss! My idol, I've finally waited for you!" Cecilia said excitedly, "You're amazing. Quick, give me your autograph!"

Saying this, Cecilia took out a notebook covered with various basketball stickers and stuffed it into her hand.

Daryl also looked at her with admiration and handed over his medical book. "Katniss, just sign this."

Cecil's thin lips were pressed together, his face expressionless, but his gaze was subtly fixed on Katniss's clean face.

They had all heard about Caius's situation last night, and Byron had even asked Cecilia for Katniss's number.

Being able to save a critically ill patient, Katniss's medical skills were indeed impressive. Cecil finally understood why Dean had been trying to poach Katniss from Brent ever since the hospital consultation.

Once, during a meal, Dean and Brent had almost come to blows over her.

It was Cecil who had forcibly separated them with a cold face.

Katniss pushed the notebook and book away, sitting down with a helpless smile. As

she took out her own book, she said seriously, "As medical students, we should never give up any hope or opportunity."

Cecil remained silent.

Daryl, beside him, said, "A medical student's sudden reflection."

Cecilia patted her chest and laughed, "Good thing I'm in the arts department."

"By the way."

Katniss suddenly asked, "Is Byron not coming to school again today?"

Hearing this, Cecilia's eyelashes fluttered. She jumped onto the desk behind her, sitting down with her hands propped on the edge, kicking the chair absentmindedly.

"Of course, with Ashley's dad now stable, he has even more reason to stay by Ashley's side and show off."

Katniss checked her schedule for the day and confirmed she had no classes in the afternoon.

Cecilia jumped down, pushed Daryl aside, and sat next to Katniss.

"Katniss, are you going to school this afternoon?"

Katniss turned her gaze, seeing the faint eagerness in Cecilia's eyes, and nodded.

"Do you want to come along?"

"I don't have any classes this afternoon either, so I might as well watch you in action. Let's go together."

Katniss smiled slightly. Cecilia was indeed straightforward and easy to read.

"Alright, if you want to come, let's go together." Katniss didn't say much more.

At noon, Cecilia came to find Katniss to go to the cafeteria for lunch.

Cecilia was eating across the table, while Katniss was texting Maximilian on her phone. "Maximilian, I might be home late today."

"What's up?" Maximilian asked.

Katniss explained that she was going to the hospital to check on Caius's condition.

On the other end, Maximilian paused the meeting, turned to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked out at the most beautiful view of Luminous City.

He called Katniss.

"Take Conrad with you. You are Mrs. Hamilton now; you need to be careful." Hearing his steady and reassuring voice, Katniss's eyes sparkled.

"Okay, I'll remember."

If Maximilian hadn't reminded her, Katniss would have forgotten that she was now a wealthy lady. In this era of rampant kidnappings, it was indeed safer to have Conrad with her!

Some people really would risk their lives for money.

Cecilia swallowed her food and looked at Katniss curiously, "Katniss, is that your boyfriend who's a hundred times more handsome than Cecil?" Katniss nodded, "Yes."

Now, Katniss felt that "a hundred times" didn't even begin to describe it.

He was simply perfect!

Cecilia took another bite of food and asked indistinctly, "What did you just call him?" Katniss paused, smiled, and changed the subject by looking at the food on her plate. "These two dishes are high in fat. Have you forgotten you're in the arts department?" Cecilia scoffed, "I have a lot of physical activity every day, so I don't worry about eating too much. Besides, my dad made me choose the arts department because he can't face reality."

"He insists I study art to transform me into a lady like my cousin Yasmin."

Rolling her eyes dramatically, Cecilia complained, "I don't have that potential. I should be a coach on the basketball court!"

Katniss's eyes flashed, and she took a sip of water, "What about the arranged marriage your uncle wanted for Yasmin that you mentioned last time?"

Cecilia became annoyed at the topic, "My uncle is so shady, it's ridiculous!"

Katniss blinked and quietly listened to Cecilia.

At Clara's engagement party, the Thorne family was also present and heard the news of Maximilian's marriage.

Yasmin's father, Lazlo Thorne, looked visibly upset and barely managed to keep his composure until the end of the party.noveldrama

That night, he received a lucrative municipal development project from the Hamilton

Group.

It was highly sought after and very profitable.

With such a project from the Hamilton Group, Lazlo felt hopeful again.

After some investigation, he found out that Maximilian had married a disowned

daughter from the Manners family.

Her current step-parents were just an ordinary family.

He was convinced that Yasmin would have another chance soon.

He kept finding opportunities for Yasmin to get close to Maximilian.

Cecilia squinted her eyes, "It's quite a coincidence that the mysterious Mrs. Hamilton

has the same last name as you, Manners."
