Chapter 154

In no time, Byron found himself lost in his thoughts.

He'd pulled every string he could to get top-notch doctors for Ashley's dad, but none of them had any luck. Could Katniss really be better than these seasoned pros?

And let's not forget, the current doctor in charge was the highly respected Dylan.

Byron stared ahead, deep in thought.

Katniss was just lucky and loved to show off. If she made Ashley's dad worse, wouldn't Ashley be crushed?

Byron shook his head, pushing the thought away.

After morning classes, Katniss headed to the cafeteria. As soon as she stepped out of the classroom, she spotted Cecilia coming her way.

Cecilia, hobbling on crutches, greeted Katniss with a big smile.

Katniss glanced at Cecilia's bandaged ankle and sighed. "You should be resting. Moving around like this will just slow down your recovery and might even make things worse."

Cecilia scratched her head, "If I stay in that room any longer, I'll lose my mind. I'd rather limp around. I even had to throw a fit to get my dad to let me out."

"Your motives are crystal clear," Katniss chuckled.

Cecilia might be flashy, but she was also an open book, making her easy to read.

Dealing with someone like that was actually simpler and more reassuring.

Just then, Cecil, Byron, and Daryl walked out of the classroom too.

Cecilia waved and threw her arm around Daryl's neck, "Daryl, I heard you were sick? What's up? Are we in this together?"

"Bullshit, our illnesses are different." Daryl's face darkened. He pried her hand off and asked, "How did you know?"
