Chapter 177
Dylan's lips pressed into a thin line, his voice tinged with helplessness, "Let's not talk
about this anymore, it's pointless. The patient's family has already agreed to let Katniss and me treat them together, and I can't change their decision."
In the bathroom, Elodie stood in front of the sink.
Earlier, when Simon was changing the dressing, the scene was too shocking for her to bear, so she had retreated to the bathroom.
Now, hearing Simon yelling about Katniss outside, she pushed the door open and walked out.
"Simon, what are you talking about? What's going on?"
"Mom, I just found out from Dylan that Katniss actually..."
Simon explained the situation, and Elodie's elegant face immediately darkened, "Katniss's subpar medical skills, if she messes up the treatment, Dylan's career will definitely be affected!"
"I don't know what Katniss did, but the patient's family actually trusts her!" Simon snorted, his voice filled with disdain, "It's truly despicable!"
"No, we can't let her interfere with our family anymore."
Elodie snatched the phone from Simon's hand and said, "Dylan, what's going on? Tell
me."
On the other end, Dylan's voice was gentle, "Mom, it's nothing, don't worry."
"This matter is all over the forums, so many eyes are on Katniss, she won't mess around with something as serious as this."
"She's very arrogant right now, I don't think there's anything she wouldn't dare to do."
Elodie gripped the phone tightly, snorting, "Dylan, I'll handle this. I can't let her ruin Simon's arm and then sabotage your work."
The Manners family had produced a renowned doctor like Dylan, who had become an attending physician at a young age. Over the years, Elodie had made many wealthy women envious.
Everyone gets sick, and knowing a famous doctor is like having an extra life.

career.
"Alright, Mom, it's getting late. I still have rounds to do."
"Simon's injuries are superficial, don't worry. I've already instructed my colleague to take good care of him."
"I'll handle any issues that arise."
Dylan had been staying at the hospital for the past few days, very busy.
Elodie's eyes filled with concern, "You and your father have been working too hard lately. Once this is over, I'll cook a good meal for you all."
Hearing this, Dylan's mouth twitched.
Since Katniss left and cut ties with the Manners family, the meals at home were either cooked by the servants or by Elodie.
Either way, they were always terrible, not even half as good as Katniss's cooking.
Dylan had been avoiding meals at home, opting to eat at the hospital cafeteria instead. "Alright, I have to go. I'll hang up now."
After hanging up, Elodie slammed the phone on the table, sitting down with a cold expression.
Simon's face was equally grim. Suddenly, he remembered something, his eyes lighting up, "Mom! Didn't Katniss say she would pay back all the money she spent from our family over the years?"
"She did say that."
"With interest, not a penny less!"
Elodie, fueled by Simon's words, found an outlet for her anger, "Alright, I'll start calculating how much we've spent on her over the years!"
After saying that, Elodie added, "By the way, let's check the forums. Dylan said it's all over the forums."
"I want to see what everyone thinks about this!"
Simon used his phone to check the forums, and he and Elodie read through the posts together.
Ten minutes later.
Elodie was trembling with anger, clutching her chest, her face pale, "Why are there so many people at your school supporting Katniss?"

Simon frowned, utterly confused, "I haven't been to school these days, what has Katniss been doing there?"
Previously, no one at school liked Katniss; everyone knew she was jealous of Clara, manipulative, and malicious.
"Mom, the patient that Katniss and Dylan are treating is also in this hospital. Tomorrow, go ask Dylan which room it is."
"Simon, what are you planning?" Elodie asked, puzzled.
Simon narrowed his eyes, sneering, "Of course, to give the patient's family a proper introduction to Katniss!"
Hearing this, Elodie chuckled, patting Simon's arm in approval, "Simon, you're quick- witted."
After that, Elodie and Simon began to recall and record Katniss's expenses over the years.
The mother and son worked tirelessly until the early hours of the morning.
At this time, Katniss was sleeping soundly in Maximilian's arms.
Today, Maximilian didn't have any rehabilitation training and slept until seven, waking up with Katniss.
Katniss glanced at the vintage clock on the wall, her eyes gradually brightening. "Maximilian, you slept for a long time this time."
Katniss stared at his chiseled face, asking, "Is it because the rehabilitation training is too exhausting, so you slept deeply?"
Maximilian released her, sitting up calmly, his long fingers adjusting the collar of his dark pajamas.
His eyes deepened slightly.
The rehabilitation training was part of the reason.
Carlton had found a top-notch rehabilitation trainer, and the process was intense and effective.
Maximilian endured a lot of pain, but it didn't stir any emotions within him.
There were very few people who genuinely wished for his recovery.
He gently patted Katniss's face, his deep voice saying, "Get up, I'll take you to school."
"Maximilian, I don't have any classes today, I've already taken leave. I'm going to the hospital to treat Ashley's father."
Maximilian responded directly, "Alright, I'll take you."
Katniss blinked, the hospital was farther than the school, and Maximilian's time was
precious, she didn't want to waste it.
Conrad could take her just as well.
Thinking this, Katniss said it out loud.
Maximilian's gaze fell on Katniss's delicate face, but he didn't insist.
They had breakfast together, then headed in opposite directions.noveldrama
Katniss quickly arrived at the hospital, taking the elevator directly to the top-floor premium ward.
Conrad was behind her, and she had unknowingly grown accustomed to his presence. This time, without Katniss saying anything, Conrad stopped at the door on his own. Katniss's attention was focused on the upcoming treatment, not hearing Simon's voice.
As she walked in, she looked up and saw Simon standing in front of Ashley. Simon also looked over at the sound of the door opening, his expression turning dark and angry upon seeing Katniss.
Ashley had a trace of embarrassment on her face.
About five minutes ago, Simon had suddenly come over and said a lot about Katniss. In summary, he claimed that Katniss had ulterior motives.
