After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 140

After Katniss finished the acupuncture session, she didn't leave right away. She stood up and looked straight at Maximilian. "Maximilian, we can start the next phase of treatment next week. Starting tomorrow, you'll need to do half an hour of rehab training every day."

"This is gonna be tough, but you gotta stick with it," Katniss added.

Tough? To Maximilian, nothing ever seemed tough.

Katniss thought she might've been too vague, so she leaned in and whispered, "What I mean is, the meds and training might mess with your hormones, so for your health, you need to abstain."

She blinked awkwardly, hinting that he should avoid any intense sexual activity.

After a few seconds of silence, Maximilian looked at Katniss. "You should be worried about yourself."

Katniss's face turned bright red. In this situation, she was the one who was vulnerable! "Should we sleep in separate rooms for now?" Katniss asked cautiously.

Maximilian pressed his lips together, his gaze fixed on Katniss.

Katniss felt really guilty under his stare. She hesitated for a moment before awkwardly explaining, "It might not be a good idea. We just moved in together, and if we sleep in separate rooms, Samuel and Carlton might think our relationship isn't good."

Maximilian replied, "I'm glad you understand."

When Katniss came out of the study, she saw Emilio standing in the hallway. He nodded slightly in greeting when he saw her and then quickly went inside.

Katniss had only taken a few steps when she overheard Emilio's cold voice coming from the study, "Sir, our people are investigating. We will have results soon, and also..."

Instinctively, she paused, trying to hear more clearly, but she forced herself to walk away, realizing it was improper.

However, Katniss couldn't fall asleep when she lay in bed.
