After her rebirth by Cici

Katniss looked back at the people in the living room and flashed a bright smile, "Well!"

"Katniss, Mr. Hamilton, you're here, please have a seat."

Wesley saw Katniss and immediately beamed with a smile, while Daphne pushed the prepared fruits and snacks towards Katniss.

Nathan sat quietly on the other side, with little expression, but the faint smile at the corner of his mouth still represented his mood.

Saskia was right next to Katniss. She had just been discharged from the hospital a couple of days ago and was still in poor health, but she insisted on witnessing this momentous moment in her family.

After chatting for a bit, Katniss took out the adoption agreement.

Wesley and Daphne signed their names without hesitation.

Katniss felt a surge of emotion.

She was no longer part of that family, and the tragic death she experienced in her past life would never happen again!

She had completely and forever gained her freedom.

A life of freedom, an independent personality.

Unlike the harmonious atmosphere here, Oliver was sitting in his car near Laura's house, waiting for Laura with a gloomy expression.

After a few minutes, Laura finally arrived.

The moment she settled in, Oliver's voice, stern and demanding, "Did you tell Katniss about this?"

A quick flash of emotion crossed her eyes. She bit her lip, looked up at Oliver, and her face showed just the adequate amount of grievance and innocence.

Her soft voice trembled, "Oliver, what are you talking about? How could I dare tell anyone about this?"

"You really didn't say anything?"

Oliver was momentarily confused. How did Katniss find out? Was he overthinking it? "Oliver, I swear, I won't tell anyone."

Laura adjusted her posture to face Oliver, and two full, glistening tears rolled down her cheeks. "What happened that night is our eternal secret."

She raised her hand to wipe away her tears in a panic, her voice weakening, "If it weren't for the fact that I was in so much pain and didn't know what to do, I wouldn't have contacted you."
