Chapter 306 Waiting for a Miracle

"What are you staring at?" Maximilian asked, wrapping his arm around Katniss.

Katniss shook her head. "Nothing, let's head back."

Maximilian had been itching to leave for a while, so he naturally held Katniss close and they walked off together.

From a distance, someone watched them and sighed, "The Hamilton guy and his wife are really inseparable."

Another person chimed in, sounding equally envious.

On the way, Katniss mentioned to Maximilian that she planned to visit Elodie the next day. Maximilian simply asked, "Want me to come with you?"

"No," Katniss shook her head. "Conrad will be with me."

She was going to the hospital, and she knew she would inevitably run into the Manners family. The Manners family had too many issues, and she didn't want Maximilian to get involved.

Maximilian was already swamped with work; she didn't want him wasting energy on people who weren't worth it.

The next morning, Katniss arrived at the hospital early.

She found Elodie's room, but only saw a caregiver who was munching on sunflower seeds and playing on her phone.

Hearing someone enter, the caregiver quickly hid the seeds and looked at Katniss, puzzled. "Did you come to the wrong room?"

Katniss glanced at the caregiver. "No, I'm in the right place."

The caregiver didn't say anything else, awkwardly cleaning up the scattered seed shells while sneaking glances Katniss. Finally, she asked, "Are you here to see the patient? I haven't seen you before."

Katniss replied, "Yeah, it's my first time here. I'll just take a quick look."

With that, Katniss began checking on Elodie. Elodie looked like she was just sleeping, with an IV drip attached. Upon closer inspection, Katniss noticed the IV bag was empty, and blood had started to back up into the tube.
