After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 41

Katniss leaned in and whispered, "Samuel, mind if I check you out?"

Samuel blinked, a bit thrown off, and then it hit him-Katniss was the doc who patched up Maximilian. He'd been so wrapped up in their drama, that he totally spaced on that. Katniss was a lifesaver for their family. Samuel had seen Max's rough shape and felt the pain, hunting down top docs everywhere, but nothing worked. And now, here she was.

Snapping back, Samuel grinned, nodding like a bobblehead, "Sure thing, but I didn't bring any cash for a consult."

Katniss flashed a sweet smile, dimples and all, "No sweat, it's on the house."

Samuel's heart melted a bit; that smile reminded him of his daughter. She had those same deep dimples...

"Katniss, you see something off?" Felix piped up, always on high alert about health stuff after hanging with Max for so long.

He could tell Katniss had spotted something.

Katniss hesitated, "Can't say for sure without a check-up."

The room went dead quiet for a few beats before Max chimed in, "Alright, let's do it."

Samuel shrugged; he knew his body was fine, but he was curious if Katniss was as good as Felix said. So, he sat down for the exam.

As Katniss got to work, the room went silent.

A moment later, Katniss looked up, eyes serious, "Samuel, you got pain in your ribs?"

Samuel's eyes widened, "Yeah, a bit, but it's no biggie."

No biggie? Small problems left unchecked can snowball into a catastrophic mess.
