After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 5

Felix's mouth twitched as he tried to hold back a few coughs. He quickly swung open the other side of the car door and carefully helped Maximilian out.

Once done, Felix felt a wave of sadness hit him. To the outside world, Maximilian looked like some super-rich noble, but no one knew the crap he was dealing with. He lost his mom when he was just a kid, and his dad? Well, he had a mistress and a bastard kid who was eyeing the family fortune.

After getting hit with a nasty illness, Maximilian's health went downhill, leaving him with nightmares and sleepless nights.

The sleep issues, along with headaches, meant he had to pop meds to ease the pain.

But lately, his body got used to the meds, and the stuff the docs gave him stopped working. Sometimes, Maximilian couldn't even catch an hour of sleep. How could a guy like him survive on less than an hour of sleep a day?

What was easy for most people was like climbing Everest for Maximilian. But now, the dude was actually asleep.

Felix, with red eyes, looked at Katniss and asked, "How's he doing now?"

Katniss glanced at the sleeping Maximilian, and Felix got the hint. They walked a few steps away.

"I learned medicine from my grandma since I was a kid. She taught me everything," Katniss said, keeping it short.

Hearing this, a spark of hope lit up in Felix's eyes. His lips trembled as he asked, "Can you fix Maximilian's illness?" After thinking for a bit, Katniss said, "I'll give it my best shot."

Felix laughed and cried at the same time, wiping his tears and nodding awkwardly, "Good, do your best. We'll tackle this together." Hope is always a good thing.
