After her rebirth

As soon as the words fell, Ashley's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she looked at Katniss with a more scrutinizing gaze.

"What's this? Nowadays, you need identification to save lives and treat illnesses?" Katniss raised an eyebrow, her gaze sweeping over Ashley. "But it's true, you have to be careful. The Manners family doesn't have many good people."

Ashley was taken aback and shook her head. "I asked too much."

It didn't really matter who Katniss's sister was.

Katniss turned her head, frowning as she stared at Simon, her voice cold. "Simon, if you have a problem, that's your business. But Caius is my patient. This time, we were lucky to save him. If anything happens, I can get you into the police station, and I can make sure you don't get out!"

Simon gritted his teeth, glaring at Katniss viciously. "If you can't save him, it's because your medical skills are lacking. Don't blame me for your incompetence!"

"Then you should ask yourself what you said to Ashley that Caius overheard and got triggered." Katniss's expression didn't change as her clear eyes turned to the stern- faced Dylan. "Dr. Manners, you're a doctor. You should be able to analyze what caused the patient's relapse, right?"

After speaking, Katniss's face lit up with a smile, her eyes narrowing as she looked at them.

If Simon hadn't been so talkative, Caius's condition would have been fine. How could he have been suddenly triggered?

But what did Simon say that almost made Ashley's father choke?

Dylan's gaze deepened, and he pressed his lips together.

The recent examination confirmed that Katniss was right; it was indeed a trigger.

"Simon, you were too reckless this time. Apologize to Ashley and Katniss."

Katniss had managed to stabilize Caius's condition twice now, and Dylan suddenly realized that he might have underestimated his sister.

Simon's eyebrows furrowed as if he had heard something unbelievable. He lowered his voice. "Dylan, I came to find Ashley for your sake. What medical skills does Katniss have? Just because she learned a bit from Grandma she thinks she's a miracle worker? She's just lucky!"

"After hurting Nathan, now she's messing up your future. I'm doing this to help you, and you want me to apologize to her?"

Simon turned his face away. "I won't apologize."

Dylan gave Simon a deep look, frowned, and then sighed. "Fine, you did it for me. I'm your brother, so I should apologize."

Simon's heart sank, and he turned sharply to see Dylan, in his white coat, bowing at a ninety-degree angle.

"Ms. Cross, my brother Simon endangered the patient. It's my fault as his older brother. I apologize on his behalf."

Seeing Dylan like this, Simon's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth in anger, grabbing Dylan's arm. "Dylan! What are you doing?"

His second brother Dylan was a famous doctor, with many people seeking his treatment, making it hard to get an appointment.

And now, he was apologizing because of Katniss!

Simon didn't understand.

Dylan pulled his arm free, his eyes darkening. "Simon, as your older brothers, we can indulge you, but you should grow up and know what you should and shouldn't do!"

Simon stood stiffly, then let out a sarcastic laugh. "Fine, I'm meddling too much! I'll leave, okay?"

After speaking, Simon gave Katniss a dark look and left in large strides.

Ashley steadied her emotions, released her clenched hand, and spoke to Dylan. "Dr. Manners, I understand your brother's good intentions, but my father can't have any more accidents."

"I understand. I promise this won't happen again." Dylan's face darkened slightly but maintained a gentle demeanor. "Ms. Cross, Simon probably saw the forum posts and came over."

"He and Katniss have had some conflicts recently, and there are some misunderstandings between them. They tend to act impulsively."

This implied that Simon came to cause trouble solely to target Katniss and had nothing to do with Dylan.

Katniss narrowed her eyes, a silent, mocking smile spreading from her eyes. What an artful way of speaking.

Dylan was always like this, managing to shirk responsibility cleanly while still earning a good reputation.

Ashley nodded, her face tightening. "Thank you."

She couldn't back down when it came to her father.

Dylan left the ward, looking at the bustling corridor, with no sign of Simon. He sighed and adjusted the silver frame on his nose.

The two doctors who had entered with Dylan also left with him.

One of the older female doctors paused slightly as she passed by Katniss, giving her a thumbs-up. "Your acupuncture technique just now was excellent."

She knew a few traditional medicine friends, much older than Katniss, whose skills were not as good as hers.

A few days ago, she had heard people in the hospital discussing a young girl who didn't know her limits and had challenged their outstanding doctor Dylan on the forum.

She had even gotten the patient's family's permission to be responsible for the patient alongside Dylan.

Initially, she thought the young girl was just fearless due to inexperience. But today, seeing Katniss stabilize a critically ill patient with one needle, she was truly shocked.

Her eyes roamed over Katniss's face, and she couldn't help but ask, "You're so young. Who taught you these medical skills?"

The other party asked politely and sincerely, and Katniss's eyes lit up, her clear voice answering, "I learned from my grandmother since I was little."

Dylan's steps paused, his gaze deepening.noveldrama

He had never considered this. Their grandmother Aurora had followed their grandfather Ezekiel in the military as a medic but later only worked as a doctor in a small clinic.

If Aurora really had the skill to stabilize a patient with one needle, how could she have only worked in a small clinic?

Moreover, his parents had never mentioned Aurora having any extraordinary skills.

Or was it that Katniss was just lucky these two times?

Dylan pressed his lips tightly, temporarily suppressing these doubts, and returned to his office.

In the ward, Katniss glanced at the time; it was almost noon after all this commotion. She said to Ashley, "Ashley, give me the medicine. I'll teach you how to prepare it." Ashley nodded, using the butterfly hair tie on her wrist to tie up her long hair. She bent down to the small cabinet beside the bed, took out two large bags of herbs, and handed them to Katniss.

Katniss checked them over, then took out a few and sniffed them carefully.

They were top-quality, no problem.

She had been a bit worried that Ashley, not knowing much about herbs, might have been given inferior goods by the store.

But just by looking at these, she could tell Ashley had put effort into selecting them

and had probably done a lot of research before buying them.

"Katniss, is there any problem?" Ashley asked, her delicate eyebrows furrowing

anxiously as she saw Katniss inspecting the herbs seriously.

Katniss put down the herbs and smiled at her. "They're all very good. Must have been expensive, right?"

Ashley smiled lightly. "Compared to my father's health, no price is too high."
