After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 112

Katniss froze for a second, then quickly pulled her hand back, looking at Nathan like he was just some random guy. "You having an episode or something?"

She'd been treating Nathan for five years now. She'd gotten him back to good health. In theory, even if he stopped the meds, he should just be a bit weak, not have such a big issue. So yeah, she was confused.

Nathan coughed a few times, his face pale, and half-sat up against the pillow.

"Don't you hate us the most? Why are you asking about me now? You worried about me or something? Or did Mom and Clara send you?" Nathan looked at Katniss, waiting for her answer. Katniss touched her sharp chin, "Nathan, you've got quite the imagination. No wonder you're in the design department."

"What do you mean?" Nathan frowned.

"I came to the hospital to see Saskia, not you. Don't get any ideas. I just happened to pass by your room. When I came in, there was no one else here but you," Katniss said with a slow, teasing tone.

"I'm not here to treat you. I just wanted to see how long you'd last without my meds. Now that I've seen it, I'll have a better idea for other patients. Thanks, I'm out." With that, Katniss left without looking back. She figured Nathan must be fuming.

But to her surprise, Nathan's delicate face showed no anger. Instead, he watched her leave with a complex, hard-to-read expression.

Katniss left, and the room quickly fell silent.

Just like Katniss said, a long time passed, and no one else came to see him.

Where were Elodie and Clara?

Why hadn't a nurse come by?

The room was so quiet it was creepy. Nathan was almost driven mad by the endless silence. He couldn't take it anymore and struggled to get out of bed to find Elodie and Clara.

Just as he got up, the door creaked open.

Nathan looked over, full of surprise and hope.
