After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 42

Chapter 42

Samuel was pissed.

Maximilian lost his mom young, stuck with a crappy family.

Samuel felt bad for the kid, growing up through all that mess.

If he didn't look out for Maximilian, how could he face his daughter when he kicked the bucket?

Seeing Maximilian's eyes go cold, Samuel chilled out, his anger fading fast. "Alright, if you don't dig Katniss, pick someone else. But saying you won't get hitched? If your mom were..." Sadness and reluctance flashed on Samuel's face. He finally waved his hand, saying, "Take your meds, I'll head out."

Before leaving, Samuel grabbed the prescription Katniss left on the table, folded it carefully, and stuffed it in his jacket pocket.

He thought Katniss was a good match.

With autumn coming, flocks of birds circled the gray-blue sky before taking off.

Felix followed his gaze but had no clue what he was looking at, feeling a deep sense of pity.
