Chapter 215

Maximilian's warm breath lingered around Katniss's ear, making her feel a tingling sensation all over.

She didn't know why, but even though they had already done more intimate things, this quiet embrace still made her heart race.

How could she sleep like this?

Katniss nervously fidgeted with her fingers.

Maximilian's hand gently rubbed Katniss's waist, "What's wrong?"

"Can you rest well like this?" Katniss asked with concern in her voice.

Maybe he should go back to sleep.

Maximilian pondered for a moment, "Did I touch your wound?"

As he spoke, he let go of her and said, "I'll sleep on the small bed."

Maximilian felt a bit annoyed.

How could he forget she was a patient?

Katniss's casual invitation had already made him a bit restless.

"No," Katniss's small hand grabbed Maximilian's sleeve.

That wasn't what she meant.

She was worried Maximilian wouldn't rest well.

Katniss frowned and bit her lip, wondering how to express herself.

Maximilian turned around and looked at Katniss, "Katniss, don't use that look and posture to tempt me."

Katniss looked up, and Maximilian's eyes darkened, showing a light she couldn't quite understand.

Katniss's face turned red, and she quickly let go of Maximilian, "Maximilian, I didn't mean to. Well, good night then."

With that, she left and lay down on the bed, covering her head with the blanket. Behind her, Maximilian's unrestrained laughter came, "Katniss, take good care of yourself and get well soon."

After saying that, Maximilian lay down on the small bed.

Probably too tired, Maximilian and Katniss chatted for a bit before falling asleep.

Listening to the even breathing beside her, Katniss felt incredibly at ease. Probably because she had been tense all day, now that she was relaxed, fatigue washed over her, and she fell asleep within seconds.
