After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 208

When Katniss woke up, she was in a hospital.

She opened her eyes to a dimly lit room, the familiar smell of disinfectant in the air.

Stiffly lifting her head, she saw Maximilian sitting on a chair beside her. The warm yellow light cast his profile into a picture, gentle and serene.

There seemed to be a hint of fatigue on his face.

Hearing the noise, Maximilian looked up.

Then he reached over to press the bell and slowly helped Katniss sit up, "How are you feeling?"

Katniss frowned, her voice a bit hoarse, "I just feel pain all over, especially... ah..."

She moved her right shoulder, feeling a sharp pain.

"Shoulder," Katniss's face scrunched up, "It hurts the most."

Maximilian comforted her, "The doctor said it's nothing serious, don't worry."

Katniss remembered the kidnapping and quickly asked, "Is Juniper okay? What about Simon, did they catch him? And those who escaped, were they caught too?"

Maximilian looked at Katniss's condition, with bandages on her forehead and hands, feeling a bit helpless.

She was in such a state, yet still worried about others.

However, to ease her worries, Maximilian patiently answered, "Don't worry, Juniper is fine, she's in another ward."

"Yesterday, Juniper insisted on staying by your bedside until late at night. She couldn't hold on any longer and the doctor gave her some sedatives to help her sleep."

Katniss breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Juniper was okay, otherwise, she would feel guilty for implicating Juniper.

"As for Simon and the others," at this point, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Maximilian's eyes, his tone carrying a bit of coldness, "They were all caught, not a single one escaped. Simon was shot in the leg while trying to escape, and then Conrad broke his leg. He's now being treated in the hospital."

Katniss pursed her lips and weakly asked, "Was that allowed?"
