Chapter 165

Emilio nodded, "Yes, Sir."

Maximilian gave his orders and continued working expressionlessly.

He was busy in the study until late at night. When he returned to the room, Katniss was already asleep.

She had left a warm yellow wall lamp on for Maximilian, its light casting a serene and soft glow on her small face.

Maximilian's gaze lingered for a few seconds. Then, he stood up, his tall figure silently lying down beside her.

Maximilian easily pulled Katniss over, extending his long arm to encircle her completely.

In her drowsiness, Katniss felt a sense of peace and instinctively curled up closer.

Maximilian's lips gradually curved up, clearly pleased by her action.

They slept soundly through the night.

When Katniss woke up, Maximilian was already up.

She touched the spot beside her, still warm, and her eyes brightened.

She hadn't imagined it last night.

Maximilian had held her as they slept.

How come she, a human pillow, seemed more effective than the medicinal meals she had carefully prepared?

After washing up, Katniss put the preliminary treatment plan she had devised for Caius's condition into her bag and went downstairs.

Downstairs, Maximilian had already finished breakfast and was doing his rehabilitation exercises.

In the morning light, his features were deep-set, and his movements were slightly better than before, making him irresistibly handsome.

At this rate, Maximilian would soon be able to stand up completely!

Would her task be completed then?

Katniss patted her cheeks, stopped overthinking, and turned to enter the dining room.

She finished her breakfast just as Maximilian completed his rehabilitation exercises. He went upstairs to change into a dark suit and then drove Katniss to school.
