Chapter 98

Katniss's smile vanished in an instant, and she whipped her head around to check the clock on the wall. 7:35! Crap, she had an 8:00 class!

Her morning cheer evaporated. Katniss bolted upstairs, grabbed her books, stuffed them into her backpack, and dashed back down.

No time for goodbyes, she flew out the door, leaving Maximilian shaking his head as he finished his breakfast. Felix, who had been waiting nearby, helped him into his black coat. Maximilian turned to Conrad, who was standing by the entrance. "Pick a safe car and get Katniss to school."

Conrad nodded, feeling a rush of pride. Being trusted with Katniss's safety was a big deal!

Uriah would be so jealous.

Conrad picked a sturdy Land Rover, known for its safety and durability.

In no time, he caught up with Katniss and pulled over. "Madam, Mr. Hamilton asked me to take you to school." Katniss's eyes lit up with gratitude. She quickly hopped into the back seat.

Maximilian was such a good guy. She was determined to use all her knowledge to fix his leg as soon as possible!

Starting tonight, she wouldn't go to bed early. She'd wait for Maximilian to come back, give him acupuncture, and prepare medicinal meals for him. She'd tackle the problem from all angles! Then, she sniffed the air. "What's that smell? It smells amazing."

Conrad smacked his forehead. "That's the breakfast Mr. Hamilton had Mira pack for you. I've had it before; Mira's cooking is the best!"

Katniss felt a bit frustrated. Was she the last one up?

Taking the bus to school would take about half an hour, but driving would only take ten minutes.

Plus, they could drive right up to the teaching building. With that in mind, Katniss relaxed and started eating her breakfast.
