After her rebirth

Watching Katniss's hurried steps as she left.

Laura pursed her lips, a faint, ambiguous smile slowly appearing on her face.

Then, as agreed, she really got up and left the café for the hotel.

When Katniss arrived at the hospital.

The instruments connected to Elodie, who had already been sent to the ward, suddenly started acting up.

The doctor sensed something was wrong and hurriedly sent her back to the operating room for emergency treatment.

This showed just how serious the situation was.

Seeing the crowd at the entrance of the emergency room, Katniss stood quietly in the corner, scanning the area, and sure enough, she didn't see Oliver.

Frowning in confusion, she took out her phone, intending to call and ask about the situation.

After all, when she received the call earlier, she thought everyone would be there. Now the entrance to the emergency room was chaotic, and it didn't seem right without him there.

Clara, who had been surrounded by people and was crying with red eyes.

At this moment, she fixed her gaze on Katniss, angrily clenching her fists, as if suddenly filled with immense rage.

She walked straight up to Katniss and pointed at her.noveldrama

"Katniss, what are you doing here? Get out! You have no right to be here, get out!" Seeing Clara's emotional outburst, Katniss remained much calmer.

Her gaze fell lightly on the woman in front of her, and she pursed her lips with some disdain.

"The person lying in the operating room is my biological mother. Do you think I have less right to be here than you? Clara, if anyone doesn't belong here, who do you think it should be?"

Clara was at a loss for words, not expecting her to say such a thing.

With red eyes, Clara covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face.

Then she turned to the door of the emergency room and began to cry and murmur, "Mom, it's all my fault. At a time like this, I couldn't even give you peace of mind. It's all my fault. Katniss won't leave, and I have no right to stay here. It seems the one who should leave is me!"

Clara said this and turned to leave.

Katniss's eyes showed a look of disdain, glancing contemptuously at Clara, who was still putting on a show.

Always the same tactics, nothing new.

But staying here was meaningless. Since Oliver wasn't here, she might as well leave.

Thinking this, Katniss spoke disdainfully.

"Stop acting, it's disgusting."

With that, she turned and left.

She didn't care how the people behind her looked at her.

No matter how perfectly you act, there will always be someone dissatisfied.

It's unnecessary.

After leaving the hospital, Katniss felt much more relaxed under the sunlight.

At that moment, her phone rang.

Seeing it was Maximilian, a smile unconsciously appeared on her face as she answered the call.

"Maximilian, what's up?"

"What are you doing?" Maximilian asked.

"Just out for a walk. Aren't you busy today?" Katniss always felt relaxed when talking to Maximilian.

"Not busy. Give me your location later, and I'll come pick you up."

Katniss thought about it and decided she could talk to Maximilian about what happened with Laura today.

So she agreed with a smile and found a place to wait for him.

After getting in the car, Katniss placed the coffee she had bought in front of him.

"While waiting for you, I saw this and bought a cup of your favorite flavor. Want to try

it?"

Although Katniss still had a smile on her face, Maximilian could tell it was a bit forced.

He gently patted her head and asked patiently.

"What happened?"

A look of surprise flashed in Katniss's eyes.

"Maximilian, you really can't hide anything from you. Actually, I ran into Laura after I left today."

Laura?

Hearing this name, Maximilian frowned unconsciously.

Although he hadn't interacted much with this woman, he instinctively resisted her.

"Laura was supposed to go abroad today, but she came back and told me that my mom found out about her and my dad, and then my mom hit the coffee table and ended up in the hospital. She's worried that if she goes abroad and something happens to my mom, my dad will blame her. So now Laura doesn't want to leave and wants me to help her."

Katniss sighed helplessly.

"I didn't want to agree, but Laura said she knew a secret about my dad and could trade it with me. I couldn't shake her off, so I let her wait at the hotel while I came to the hospital to check on things."

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 briefly explained what had happened today, and Maximilian nodded after listening.

"So, you're going to see Laura now, right?"

"Yes, but I always have a bad feeling about Laura. She's too scheming, and I..."

"It's okay, I'll go with you. Where did you agree to meet? I'll drive us there now." Maximilian saw Katniss's hesitation and reassured her.

Sure enough, having Maximilian by her side made her feel much more at ease. Katniss smiled and nodded in agreement, and they drove to the hotel near the commercial street.

There was only one hotel in the commercial street, so it was easy to find. But after asking the front desk, Katniss found out that no one named Laura had checked in. Frowning in confusion, she took out her phone to call Laura.

But no one answered.

"No answer?" Maximilian, standing beside Katniss, seemed to have already guessed something.

Katniss nodded. "The hotel also said no one named Laura checked in, and now she's not answering her phone. Could something have happened?"

"We should go home first. This situation is too complicated, and Laura doesn't seem reliable. One moment she's with you, and the next she's gone, not answering her phone. If we get more involved, who knows what trouble she'll bring and whether she'll betray you."

Maximilian said as he opened the passenger door.

"Let's go, I'll take you home."

Katniss looked at her phone, which couldn't connect, then turned to look at the hotel behind her.

Finally, she sighed helplessly and got in the car with Maximilian.

"Did you remember everything I just told you?" Maximilian asked with concern in the

car.
