After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 38

Upon hearing Maximilian's answer, Katniss blinked and shot up like a rocket. She dug through her bag and pulled out a bottle of medicine, her eyes flashing with urgency and concern. "Almost forgot, you're probably running low on this stuff. Here's the next batch," Katniss said, handing the bottle to Maximilian, her voice dripping with genuine care. "You gotta keep taking it for it to work." Katniss moved with a gentle touch, her eyes glowing warmly. Right then, she had one wish: for Maximilian to get better, step back into the sunlight, and start living his life again. After a moment, Katniss suddenly perked up, "Hey, I don't have classes tomorrow morning. I'll bring you some special porridge."

"Awesome!" Maximilian said, nodding and glancing over at Felix.

Felix was over the moon seeing Maximilian so cooperative.

He totally bought into what Katniss was saying; Maximilian had been looking better these past few days.

Suddenly, with Maximilian's eyes on him, Felix whipped out a black card, grinning, "Katniss, use this card for buying medicine and groceries from now on."

Katniss was floored.

Did she see that right? Felix just handed her a black card?

She'd seen a black card in Clara's hand once, given by Lucas, to use however she wanted.

But that was like six or seven years after the country's economy boomed, when the Manners family had already bounced back from the financial crisis and were rolling in dough. After a few seconds of stunned silence, Katniss was deeply touched.

Even her own parents and brothers had never been this generous. Maximilian was a gem!

Before, Katniss had treated Maximilian with a bit of a patient-care vibe, but now she looked at him with full-on admiration.

"Thanks, you're super generous," Katniss said, taking the card with a smile. "I'll keep a detailed list of the prices for the medicine and groceries."
