Chapter 200
The lights in the operating room went out.
Jesse cout, his face serious, no longer the playful look from before.
Seeing this, Katniss hurried up to him, "How is it?"
Jesse nodded slightly, looking a bit tired, "The surgery was relatively successful, but she's not out of danger yet.
Whether she wakes up is uncertain. It's best to find her family, and her will to survive is very low."
Katniss felt a pang in her heart.
She wasn't worried about finding Hestia's family; the police would locate them soon enough.
She paid sof Hestia's hospital bills, and Jesse whistled beside her, "Katniss, | didn't expect you to be so kind-
hearted. I've never seen anyone as compassionate as you. If we hadn't been together the whole time, I'd suspect
you were the driver who hit her." Katniss's eyes flickered.
Why couldn't this guy be mute?
Maximilian shot Jesse a glance, "Annoying."
Jesse looked aggrieved, "I'm just looking out for her. She's young and inexperienced. Those who know her will
think she's kind-hearted, but those who don't might think otherwise."
Then Jesse yawned, waved his hand, and left, saying that even if the sky fell, he needed to get ssleep first.
Katniss remained silent.
She knew Jesse was right.
Doing nothing was the best way to avoid trouble.
But having lived another life, she understood one thing: there's no need to overthink everything. Love who you
want to love, do what you want to do, and have no regrets.
Maximilian looked at Katniss's profile, his gaze deepening.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs they left the hospital and got into the car, Katniss saw through the window a limping man and an elderly
woman with silver hair walking into the hospital, looking very sad.
It was Hestia's husband and mother-in-law.
They supported each other, trying to walk as quickly as possible, but it was very difficult.
Katniss felt very conflicted.
If she didn't know, it would be fine, but since she knew the truth, she decided to do something.
Because she was preoccupied, Katniss tripped over the threshold when she got hand almost kissed the
ground. Maximilian quickly caught her by the waist.
"Sorry, sorry." Katniss clung tightly to Maximilian's arm, looking panicked.
Maximilian didn't let go of her waist, just patted her head and said calmly, "I'm fine, it's you who has a problem."
Katniss explained, "I'm just a bit worried."
Maximilian gave a faint smile and then comforted her, "Don't worry, if Jesse is handling it, there won't be any
problems."
Hopefully.
Katniss looked up, her eyes pleading, "Can | ask you a favor?"
Maximilian continued to hold her as they walked inside, smiling quietly, "Go ahead." Katniss asking him for help
immediately made Maximilian's lips curl up in a pleased smile.

Katniss wanted to ask Maximilian to check with the police about the investigation into the car accident.
Just like in her previous life, there were no eyewitnesses, no surveillance, and it currently looked like Hestia had
driven the wrong way, hit the guardrail, and then hit the car in front.
Due to the force, Simon crossed the solid line, causing the other car to spin and hit the guardrail. His car, being
of decent quality, wasn't severely damaged.
If Simon hadn't described the accident right away in her previous life, no one would have believed he was the
driver just from the scene.
And Katniss was sure Simon had called the Manners family immediately, and they had handled things, so the
police found nothing in the end.
But this time, they had her to deal with, and she wouldn't let the Manners family get away so easily.
She would reveal the truth.
Simon had to go to jail.
He had hit and abused her, vandalized her home, and this tshe would get back at him with interest.
On the other side, Simon rushed to Lucas as he got home, "Lucas, how did it go?" Simon looked nervous,
unusually sober at the moment.
Lucas smacked him on the head, "What have | always told you? It's fine if you want to play and not be ambitious,
but sthings you just can't do! Drunk driving, hit-and- run, how could you? Hitting someone is one thing, but
what if you lost your own life?" Lucas was angry not because Simon caused trouble, but because he risked his
own life. Simon hung his head, "I know | was wrong. So, how's it going over there?"
Lucas sighed, sitting on the couch with a look of confidence and pride, "Don't worry, as long as that woman
doesn't wake up, everything will be fine. But just in case, we should find a scapegoat."

That way, even if Hestia woke up, Simon would be safe.
Lucas had a strong desire for control and didn't like things getting out of hand. "Who should we find?" Simon felt
uneasy knowing Hestia was saved, "How about we just find someone and pay them to take the fall?"
"Idiot!" Lucas wanted to beat this brainless Simon, "Just find someone? This is no small matter; if it goes wrong,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwe could be blackmailed. This is a hit-and-run, you know? If that woman wakes up and the scapegoat isn't tight-
lipped, it'll be a mess."
Simon was also frustrated, "Who the hell called the cops anyway?"
If Hestia died, they could just pay smoney, not even much.
If she woke up, not only would he be in trouble, but the follow-up treatment would be even more troublesome.
Elodie frowned, worriedly asking Lucas, "So what should we do now? Who should we find to take the fall?"
If Katniss were here, they would push her out without hesitation.
But now, Katniss wasn't someone they could control, and Elodie couldn't bear to sacrifice any of her sons.
Simon's eyes darted around, then he leaned close to Elodie, "Mom, what about Nathan?"
Elodie's face darkened, "Shut up! You know Nathan's health. How dare you think of using him as a scapegoat? I'll
beat you to death!"
Simon shrank back, muttering, "Mom, | don't really want Nathan to go to jail. But think about it, because of his
poor health, if things really go wrong, we can ask the judge for leniency or get him medical parole."
Hearing this, Elodie fell into deep thought.
Could this really work?
Seeing Elodie's softened attitude, Simon felt more confident, "Mom, | really know | was wrong. I'll never do it
again. If | go to jail, my life is over, but Nathan is different."
