Chapter 33
Felix was thinking about how Max had downed three bowls of soup, grinning and saying, "Katniss, you're a
lifesaver. Seriously, if it weren't for you, I'd be lost. Max saw a ton of doctors and popped a bunch of pills, but
nothing worked. Now,
he's finally getting better."
Felix's eyes got all serious as he spoke.
Katniss figured Felix had already figured out the issue with Max's meds. With their cash and connections, they'd
definitely get to the bottom of it.
She was curious why Felix hit up Aurora. Sure, she had mad medical skills, but she just ran a tiny private clinic.
These days, everyone wants the big hospitals. Even if a private doc is good, people still go for the big names.
Max had money and power, so why couldn't he find a top-notch doc?
"Felix, I'll do everything | can to help Max get better!" Katniss said, all determined.
Felix was touched by her resolve.
There were tons of people in the Boleyn family, but none of them cared about Max as much as this outsider did.
Katniss blinked her big eyes, cheerfully looking at Felix and saying, "Felix, we should totally stock up this huge
fridge with loads of yummy food!"
Felix laughed heartily and nodded, saying, "No problem, Katniss. This fridge has double doors and tons of space.
Go wild, put in as much as you want!"
After munching on sbass soup outside, Felix couldn't stop raving about Katniss's cooking skills. He even

The speech contest was coming up. When Katniss walked through the school gate, she saw a poster for the
contest on the bulletin board, listing the participants.
Katniss originally wanted to slip away but saw that besides Juniper, Clara's nwas also on the list, which
puzzled her.
Hadn't she already given the spot to Juniper?
Since she had a class, she planned to go to the classroom to ask Juniper but ran into Nathan.
Nathan was a junior, majoring in design, often running errands for Clara.
He had been in poor health since childhood, frail and prone to minor illnesses. He had been taking medicine for
years to maintain his health, which made his skin paler and more delicate than his peers, making him look even
thinner under his tall frame.
Nathan was particularly prone to fatigue and weakness, often looking pale with a faint sheen of sweat on his
forehead. He frequently needed medication to maintain his strength and health, doctors repeatedly advising him
to avoid overexertion. Despite his poor health, he persisted in bringing Clara small cakes, never giving up easily.
In Nathan's life, medicine played a crucial role. To manage his condition, he had to take it regularly every day to
keep his body stable. In her past life, Katniss had always been making medicine and medicinal food for him,
helping him nourish his body.
Thanks to Katniss's long-term efforts, his health had improved significantly. But in the future, Katniss wouldn't do
it again!
Seeing the obviously weaker Nathan, Katniss felt a sense of satisfaction.
Nathan didn't even deserve her treatment.
Nathan's face changed when he saw Katniss. He looked a bit ticked off, forcing a bitter smile and saying softly,
"Katniss, | just wanted you to help deliver a cake to Clara. Didn't think you'd be so against it."
Katniss frowned at Nathan's words, shooting back, "What bugsis that you always ctobecause of
her. Is Clara the only one who gets your attention?"
Nathan's face darkened at her retort, his voice getting a bit harsh, "Is it so wrong forto care about Clara? You
don't need to butt in."
The tension between them was thick. Katniss didn't want to waste more words, so she headed straight to the
classroom.
As she turned to leave, Nathan grabbed her arm, not letting go. Katniss, furious, her eyes blazing, shoved
Nathan away with all her might. He lost his balance and hit the ground, the small cake in his hand smashing into
crumbs. "Katniss!" Nathan looked at the broken cake, both heartbroken and angry, shouting at her. He was upset
about the cake and furious at Katniss.
Nathan's face showed anger as he stood up, breathing heavily. He looked at the broken cake and then at Katniss,
his voice low and filled with rage, "My cake! That was for Clara!" Katniss shot back, "You brought it on yourself!"
"Nathan!" Clara hurried over, asking, "Are you okay?"
"Clara, I'm fine," Nathan said, shaking his head, feeling guilty. "The cake is ruined. I'll get you another one."
Clara looked at the broken cake, nodding, but her gaze shifted to the classroom. "Nathan, what happened? Why
did Katniss treat you like this? We're family."
Nathan sneered, "Katniss never considered us family. Simon is still at the police station, and she's so heartless.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmClara, you need to stay away from her; she'll hurt you."
Nathan's tone was filled with resentment as he coldly looked at Katniss, as if she were a criminal.
Clara wanted to comfort Katniss, but Nathan stopped her, saying, "Katniss shouldn't have taken her anger out on
me. She crossed the line."
Clara ran towards Katniss, but Nathan blocked her, saying, "Katniss, don't avoid the issue. If you're angry, take it
out on me, but don't blNathan."
"Clara, don't try to reason with that vicious woman. She's not worth it!" Nathan said, anxiously chasing after her,
afraid Katniss would harm Clara.
Katniss sat at her desk, feeling irritated. She was waiting for Juniper, but instead, these two showed up. Katniss
didn't want to see their sibling affection, not because she was sad, but because she was annoyed.
She just hoped to take the exam soon, switch to the medical program, and get away from these annoying
people.
Seeing them still chattering, Katniss took out a tissue from her pocket, slowly crumpling it, and stuffing it into her
ears in front of them. Then she started reciting, "Bicarbonate is an important component of the body's pH
buffering system..."
