After her rebirth

Katniss was stunned.

Maximilian suddenly asked such a strange question.

She reached out to feel Maximilian's forehead.

It was very hot.

He indeed had a fever.

"Maximilian, you have a fever," Katniss said sternly. "Hurry up and come back to the room with me. Wearing so little, you don't care about your body at all."

Maximilian shook his head, "Not cold, very hot."

"In such cold weather, we're all outside, how can it not be cold?" Katniss held his hand and then said gently, "Come on, let's go back together."

Maximilian didn't get up immediately but instead asked a strange question, "Will we freeze to death?"

Katniss thought that maybe Maximilian's brain was temporarily short-circuited due to the fever, so it was impossible to communicate normally at this stage.

She said fiercely, "Yes, so hurry up and come back with me."

Maximilian suddenly showed a strange smile, his eyes full of darkness, "Death would be a relief. I shouldn't be alive anyway..."

Hearing this, Katniss was greatly shocked.

What was wrong with Maximilian?

Why did he suddenly say such things?

She suddenly remembered her past life.

Previously, she couldn't understand why Maximilian, surrounded by so many medical experts, still died in the end.

Could it be...

Katniss felt a chill down her spine, and her voice became softer, "Fool, why would you think that? I think you are the light for many people. If you shouldn't be alive, what about the others?"

"Light?"

"Yes." Katniss smiled and pointed at herself, "For example, me. If I hadn't met you, I would have been bullied to death by those bastards from the Manners family. I am really grateful to you, so you must live well."

Maximilian's eyes were a bit dazed, and he nodded occasionally under Katniss's gentle persuasion, "I won't let them bully you."

Katniss nodded heavily.

After a lot of effort, Katniss finally coaxed Maximilian back to the room with a tone used for coaxing children.

The room was very warm, and as soon as the two who were almost frozen outside entered, it felt like they had returned from winter to a warm spring day.

"Don't go." Maximilian, lying in bed, was very restless. He held Katniss's hand and pleaded, "Don't leave me, okay? Don't go..."

Katniss looked helpless, "I'm not leaving, I'm going to get you some fever medicine. Do you know your temperature now? It's 103 degrees Fahrenheit. If the fever doesn't go down, it will damage your brain."

Maximilian was stunned, seemingly thinking about what Katniss meant.

Katniss sighed slightly.

She went to get the fever medicine and gave it to Maximilian, "Sleep, you'll feel better when the fever goes down."

He shook his head, still trying hard to keep his eyes open, "Stay here."

"Okay." Katniss said, "I was going to stay here anyway."

"Forever?"

"Forever."

"Impossible..." Maximilian seemed to sigh, "No one can stay with another person forever."

Katniss suddenly reached out and pinched Maximilian, "You have a fever and act like you're drunk. If you don't sleep, can you answer a question for me?"

Maximilian nodded, looking very obedient.

Katniss suddenly felt a bit fond of this Maximilian.

Because compared to the normal Maximilian, the current Maximilian seemed more lively and vivid.

Katniss gently pressed Maximilian's wound, and he frowned in pain.

"Now you know it hurts?" Katniss couldn't help but scold, "Then why do you torture yourself like this?"

Maximilian thought for a moment, "It's not torture."

He paused, then looked at Katniss sincerely, "It feels more comfortable this way."

Katniss was shocked by this answer.

Self-harm feels more comfortable?

"Why do you think that?" Katniss sat by the bed, gently touching Maximilian.

Maximilian pondered for a long time, seemingly unable to answer the question, then said, "Instinct."

Katniss felt very sad.

She didn't ask anymore, lying down on the other side of the bed, and hugged Maximilian's waist, "Sleep, I'm here."

Maximilian also held Katniss's hand, and both of them closed their eyes.

At first, Katniss didn't fall asleep either, thinking about Maximilian's situation.

She felt that Maximilian's state was very wrong, not just because of the fever.

But if she asked directly, Maximilian definitely wouldn't say anything. Maybe she could find out indirectly.

But who should she ask?

Conrad?

No, he didn't seem like someone who would know his boss's secrets.

Uriah?

He was smart, but also very shrewd, and might not tell her. Besides, she wasn't very familiar with him.

Samuel?

Maybe worth a try. But if he didn't know anything, would he be more upset knowing about Maximilian's condition?

Sigh, so difficult.

Later, near dawn, Katniss was too tired and fell asleep.

When she woke up, she found that Maximilian was gone again.

She was startled, but then understood after checking the time.

Maximilian probably got up.

After all the fuss yesterday, he could still get up normally, which was really admirable.

After getting up and washing, Katniss called Maximilian.

She tentatively asked, "Your wound... you... be more careful next time."

She thought for a moment and held back from asking directly.

Maximilian's tone was very normal, "Okay. You've been very tired lately, I asked Mira to

make some soup for you, remember to drink it."

"Okay."

After eating, Katniss went directly to give Nathan acupuncture.

Nathan was awake.

When he saw Katniss, he gave a friendly smile, "I heard from Lucas, thank you, Katniss."

Katniss waved her hand, "No need. I have conditions, I'm not that kind."

Nathan didn't say anything more.

After the acupuncture, Katniss left directly.

But she didn't go back.

She wanted to find someone to answer her questions.

Maximilian's behavior last night was really baffling.

She had some guesses, but she didn't dare to be sure, after all, she only had a

superficial understanding of those conditions.

Nathan lived near the hospital, and Katniss quickly found Jesse.

When Jesse saw Katniss, his smile became even brighter, "Katniss, I heard you came

specifically to find me?"

Katniss nodded, "Yes, I have some things I want to ask you."

Jesse raised an eyebrow, "Oh, what is it?"noveldrama

His enthusiastic look made Katniss's originally serious expression soften a bit.

Katniss looked around his office and then said, "Can we find a place with fewer people?"

Jesse stroked his chin and then nodded.
