After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 56

Chapter 56

Katniss was totally floored for a sec.

Aurora used to teach medicine?

She had no clue. Aurora never mentioned having students.

"Felix, all I know is my grandma was a military doc. She never said anything about teaching."

Felix was kinda taken aback too, but he realized he only heard it in passing and didn't have much more to add, so he just shrugged. Katniss didn't push it. If Aurora never brought it up, there had to be a reason. Maybe teaching wasn't a great memory for her.

After dinner, Katniss was about to do the dishes, but Felix jumped in, "Katniss, I'll handle these. Can you check out Maximilian's leg?" Seeing Felix all worried, Katniss put down the dishes and went over to Maximilian, squatting a bit, "Maximilian, I need to check your leg." Maximilian just stared at her silently.

Katniss took his silence as a yes and started pressing on his leg.

"Done with your exam?" Maximilian suddenly asked, his voice kinda raspy.

It felt like an elder grilling a kid about their grades, making Katniss a bit nervous. She smiled slightly, "Yeah." "How'd you do?"

"Not bad." Katniss wanted to say she aced it, but in front of a genius like Maximilian, her grades felt small.

She'd heard Maximilian had dual degrees and a full ride, with top universities fighting over him.

Maximilian's lips tightened a bit, "You seem kinda scared of me?"

Especially when they were alone, Katniss acted like a rabbit in front of a lion, all obedient and stuff.

Katniss wanted to deny it but ended up looking up sheepishly, "A little bit."
