After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 44

Katniss followed the voice and spotted two old dudes in suits who had just sat down, grinning at her. A few guys in the front row also turned to check her out. Did they catch what she just said?

While Katniss was still mulling it over, one of the old guys asked, "You just took a sip and figured out there was a laxative in the water?"

Knowing everyone around had heard it, Katniss wasn't shy about admitting it. If it weren't for Juniper's state of mind, she would've gone to the teacher earlier.

She nodded, saying, "Yeah, I'm pretty sensitive to the taste of meds, and this bottle was already opened."

The two old dudes exchanged looks, a spark in their eyes.

"Are you in the medical department? I don't think I've seen you before," the old guy kept asking.

Katniss smiled, a bit hopeful, and replied, "Nope, but I'm taking the exam to transfer to the medical department next month."

"That's awesome!" The old guy lit up, looking super pleased.

Hearing his words, Katniss suddenly felt this old guy was kinda like Samuel in temperament.

The other old dude next to him looked at Katniss curiously and asked, "So why'd you pour out half the bottle just now?"

Katniss glanced around, lowering her voice like she was sharing a secret, "Usually, criminals like to come back to the scene of the crime. I poured out half the bottle to make it look like my friend drank it, hoping the person who messed with it might show themselves."

Actually, Katniss wanted to see who'd pay attention to the water, but after watching for a while, she didn't notice anything weird. Instead, the people around her noticed first.

"You're pretty sharp, and with your sensitivity to meds, you'd be great in medicine. Keep studying hard," The old guy said.
