After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 167

Cecilia stood a bit further away, surprised with her mouth slightly open.

"Is this job really that profitable?"

As soon as the thought crossed her mind, Cecilia felt it was inappropriate.

If it wasn't profitable, why would Katniss, whose family is so wealthy, still be doing it?

But then a doubt arose in her heart. According to Byron, Ashley couldn't even afford her medical bills. So, who

was paying for this expensive hospital room?

Her dad had mentioned that even with money, it was hard to get a spot in such a premium room; you needed

connections in the hospital.

Ashley was really hard to understand.

Katniss checked on Caius again to make sure his condition hadn't worsened.

Having done everything necessary, Katniss had no reason to stay longer.

She looked over at Cecilia, who stood there with her hands in her pockets, looking casual.

"Cecilia, shall we go?" she asked, her tone slightly questioning.

Cecilia shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Sure, let's go."

Byron then looked at Cecilia seriously, "Shouldn't you be resting your leg instead of getting involved in this?"

Cecilia replied, "You're the one who loves getting involved."

At this, Ashley's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she pressed her lips together without saying anything.

Byron glanced at her, "Let's go."

Cecilia rolled her eyes at him but showed no other reaction.

Katniss, however, could keenly sense a hint of low spirits in her.

She hooked her arm around Cecilia's and waved to the two by the bed, "No more talking, we're leaving. I'll be

back in two days."

"Letknow if anything happens in the meantime."

Outside the hospital room, Conrad was standing by the door. Seeing Katniss cout, he dutifully followed

behind her to protect her.

Katniss let go of Cecilia's arm and looked at her with a slightly pained expression, "Coming to see Byron being so

attentive to Ashley, you're just asking for trouble."

Cecilia clicked her tongue and stubbornly said, "I just cto see if Ashley's dad is really going to die."

"No money, give money, and Ashley still won't take it. That's just pathetic!"

Katniss chuckled helplessly, somehow understanding Cecilia.

Matters of the heart are indeed not easily controlled.

It remains to be seen whether Cecilia or Byron will cto their senses first.

Dylan cout of a room around the corner and saw this scene.

Two young women, followed by a tall bodyguard, chatting affectionately as they walked, creating a harmonious

picture.

Katniss looked up and saw Dylan standing ahead, staring at her, his eyes slightly tense.

After taking a couple of steps closer, Dylan spoke first, "Katniss, are you still determined to treat Caius?"

Katniss didn't really want to talk to him but felt sthings needed to be clarified. She didn't want any further

contact with him.

She let go of Cecilia's hand and stood in front of him, "Dr. Manners, didn't | give you the answer last night?"

"I've already got the patient's family's consent. If you disagree, you can talk to them." Dylan's face darkened a

bit.

Caius's condition was special and extremely difficult, attracting the attention of the hospital leadership as soon

as he was admitted.

The hospital had a meeting and decided that Caius must be cured, making it a challenging case for the hospital

to enter in the upcoming International Medical Union competition.

Held every three years, the competition was just two months away.

Every hospital wanted to showcase their outstanding doctors to bring glory to their institution, and doctors from

various departments wanted to seize this opportunity to shine.

The hospital director had always admired Dylan and specifically assigned him to this

case.

He also persuaded Jesse to oversee and guide, intending to push Dylan's nonto the international stage.

With Dylan and Jesse, no hospital in Luminous City or even the entire state could match them.

The incident from last night had already reached the director's ears, who called it nonsense and insisted that

Dylan continue treating Caius.

"You've only seen Caius twice and don't understand his condition. His illness is very complex, not something an

ungraduated medical student can handle."

Dylan frowned and said earnestly, "I didn't mean to be harsh last night, but | was worried because you were

being reckless."

"Caius's condition is critical, and every second counts. If something goes wrong, can you still graduate

smoothly?"

Katniss listened quietly, a hint of cold sarcasm spreading in her heart.

Once again, he was acting like he was doing it for her own good.

In reality, he had never done anything genuinely for her benefit.

"Don't worry about it," Katniss said, lifting her bag to reveal the medical records inside. "Ashley trusts me, and |

understand the condition."

"Katniss!"

Dylan pressed his eyebrows, his voice deepening, "You still have a chance to change your mind. Don't end up

regretting it."

Conrad looked at Dylan, unsure whether he should punch him.

He seemed polite to Katniss, but his words were infuriating.

Cecilia understood. Who was this guy?

Daring to doubt Katniss's medical skills?

Did he think wearing a white coat gave him the right to lecture people?

Status and age never represented a person's ability. How could such a grown man not understand this?

Katniss's expressionless face showed a slight smirk, "Thanks, but you can keep that chance for yourself."

"Let's go."

Cecilia deliberately gave him a sideways glance and followed Katniss with a proud toss of her head.

Conrad glared and waved a fist at him.

Dylan sighed, not bothering with Cecilia and Conrad.

Watching the three of them enter the elevator, his eyes darkened. Only after the elevator descended did he turn

to leave.

Once in the car, Cecilia couldn't help but ask, "Katniss, who was that doctor to look down on you like that?"

Katniss pressed her lips together and didn't hide it from Cecilia, "My second brother, but not anymore."

Hearing this, Cecilia remembered what she had heard about Katniss's family.

Katniss's family wasn't good to her at all, especially her brothers, who all doted on a sister with no blood relation.

Cecilia loved gossip but had principles. She never believed any negative rumors about Katniss.

So she never asked Katniss about it.

Seeing it firsthand today, they really had no trust in Katniss!

Cecilia's chest burned with anger. She pounded the car seat and said furiously, "He'll regret his words today."

"You just keep moving forward; you have plenty of supporters!"

Katniss smiled at her. She would keep moving forward. After all, this wasn't just about two thousand dollars; it

was a matter of life and death.

Katniss had Conrad take Cecilia back to The Thorne Villa before returning to Golden Crest Estates.

Maximilian hadn't cback yet. Mira was cleaning, and she happened to be organizing the wardrobe, which

was full of clothes she had specially prepared to spice things up for Maximilian and Katniss.

There were many styles. Mira had bought everything the store clerk recommended, and the clothes made her, at

her age, cover her mouth and laugh.

Mira rummaged through the clothes and couldn't help but say, "Mrs. Hamilton, don't you like these styles of

nightwear? They all look unworn."

Katniss was sitting at the vanity drinking water. Hearing this, she choked and coughed twice, her face quickly

turning red.
